[Episode 8]

Would you say the operation was a success?

I'd say so.

We flushed all the drugs away as planned,

and we even secured footage of the drugs as evidence.

So yeah, I guess you could call it a success.

But where did Bulgae suddenly come from?

Jeong Ho Myung, anything strikes you?

The car appeared just as Bulgae showed up.

That is definitely not a coincidence.

They moved with precision, aiming for something specific.

- Ah! - You startled me!

That car!

- You scared me! - The car we saw earlier

is that van I saw a few days ago in front of Kim Seon Jung's house.

Let me see.

It is, it's the same van.

Hey, did you see who was in it earlier?

Once we get the vehicle records,

finding out who that woman is and where Bulgae is

will just be a matter of time.

- Right? - Yeah, then,

should we come up with another plan?

No, first, we need to wrap up the Yoo In Goo operation.

We've already disposed of the drugs and secured the evidence, what else is there?

Having a hold on Yoo In Goo's leash doesn't mean it's over.

Yoo In Goo and Han Kyung Wook have a lot of connections in the prosecution.

If we mess this up, we could end up losing all the evidence we worked so hard to secure.

To link Han Kyung Wook by prosecuting Yoo In Goo, we need Prosecutor Kang.

Starting tomorrow, you and Kang Beom Ryong

use the CCTV Gong Bok hacked to locate Prosecutor Kang.

If she's still on Yeongseondo Island, she should show up on camera at least once.

I'll look into Yoo In Goo with Ma Gong Bok.

Me and Beom Ryong?

Wouldn't Gong Bok be better for CCTV work?

Yeah, CCTV is his specialty.

- Why me? - You...

You pushed yourself too hard today, didn't you?

Take it easy and rest a bit.

What's gotten into him today?

Even when I'm trying to be considerate, you still...

I just don't want to see your legs shaking next to me. What?

- Jeez. - My legs are perfectly fine. I'll do it.

Hey, I never said

- my legs were shaking. - Anyway, let's make sure

we wrap up the Yoo In Goo case first.

As for Bulgae, like you said, we've basically got everything under control.

- No need to rush unnecessarily, right? - Okay.

Come on now. Drink up.

- Cheers. - Oh, dear.

Good work, everyone.

You look worried.

It's because of Bulgae, right?

You really are sharp, as always.

Hey, we finally found Bulgae after 10 years,

and now you're saying we shouldn't rush?

That's not like you.

You should be raging to catch him.

So why are you acting like this?

What's holding you back?

Well, I saw her earlier.

The woman who drove off with Bulgae.

She was the police officer Kang Beom Ryong has a crush on.

Seriously?

Jeez, what kind of woman is she to be working with a North Korean agent?

I don't know.

No matter how I think about it, I can't figure it out.

Bulgae teaming up with a police officer,

and that same officer visiting Kim Seon Jung's house of all places.

We need to figure out exactly what Bulgae and that officer are after,

and whether they're going to get in the way of what we're doing.

Tomorrow, Ma Gong Bok and I will be trailing her, just so you know.

Mr. Beom Ryong seemed pretty attached to that officer.

So it's better he doesn't know.

What good would it do to find out the woman he likes is involved with Bulgae?

I'll wrap things up as fast as I can starting tomorrow,

so until then, just keep an eye on Kang Beom Ryong.

Got it.

[Jeongseok Study Residence]

Uncle, Uncle! Are you awake?

- How do you feel? - Nam Il? Nam Il!

Nam Il, are you okay?

Are you hurt anywhere?

Is this really the time to be worrying about me?

You saved me yesterday.

Yesterday... I did?

You don't remember again?

Uncle, you turned into the Hulk yesterday.

I heard you even asked Prosecutor Kang to hit you on the head.

Yeah, it was way too dangerous for you, so I had to.

Uncle, are you out of your mind?

- What if that had failed? - If you hadn't been there,

none of this would've happened.

Why were you involved in a gang drug deal? Huh?

I was tricked into going there.

I thought it was a one-million-won day job.

- Aiming for that one big score again... - This time it wasn't like that!

I just wanted to earn money,

get our house back, and get you out of here.

I know you're going through unnecessary trouble because of me.

You haven't eaten, have you?

Hello, we're heading to Heaven Capital, right?

No.

Weren't we supposed to be checking Yoo In Goo's movements?

Plans changed.

We're going to the police substation.

The police substation?

So, those so-called Masked Racers suddenly showed up

and just dumped all the drugs into thin air?

And you guys lost all of them?

Yeah, well, those weren't ordinary guys.

Yoo In Goo, you idiot!

He can't do a single thing right.

Useless idiot!

Before I get dragged into this and bleed for it,

I'm getting out.

Mr. Geum, how's the rebuilding of the Kang Sik faction I mentioned before?

We've already recruited the lower members.

Now, we just need to change the sign.

Okay, good job, good job.

But Chairman, when should we start?

Right now.

What? R-Right now?

Is that possible?

Come on, is clearing out one piece of trash really that difficult?

I'll take care of that trash myself.

And Mr. Geum, look into those guys who ruined Mr. Yoo's drug deal yesterday,

the so-called martial arts master or Masked Racer.

Those guys?

They suddenly popped up on Yeongseondo Island and keep interfering with our work.

We can't ignore this any longer. Who knows?

They might interfere with my work too,

so we should deal with them before moving on.

Now mobilize the police

and dig through all CCTV and dashcam footage around Yeongseon Port.

Ah! And do it quietly so Mr. Yoo doesn't catch on.

Yes, don't worry about that.

He won't be in any state to notice right now.

We collected as much as we could scrape together,

but this is all we have.

- Come on, come on. - No, don't do that...

Not today.

I said not today!

- Who's that? - Well...

He's a casino client who came to borrow money,

but our funds ran out, so we're sending him back.

Funds... ran out?

Oh my, boss, boss!

- Breathe, breathe... - Boss, breathe... catch your breath...

Boss, boss!

- Jae Soon. - Oh, Prosecutor.

- Are you alright? - Yes, yes, fine, fine.

I'm not even hurt or anything. I heard I messed everything up yesterday. Sorry.

No, no, it wasn't just because of you. Don't worry about it.

Good grief...

I heard we couldn't catch those Heaven Capital guys, huh?

So, I've been thinking.

Since Heaven Capital also lost all the drugs,

they won't just sit back and watch, right?

They'll definitely try something to make up for their mistake.

So what if we use that gap?

How?

We don't have any way to track their movements.

There is someone who might know.

So you want me to become a double agent?

A double agent?

- Have I lost my mind? - You have two choices.

First, you come with me to the district prosecutor's office.

Aiding and abetting murder,

destruction of evidence, and bribery...

I'll charge you with everything I can.

Then Sergeant Kim,

you'll obviously lose your badge,

and probably end up eating prison food.

About 30 years, maybe?

Come on, Prosecutor, how can you do this?

I'm the victim here!

I'm seriously, seriously unfairly treated!

Then second option.

Return to your police substation.

Track Heaven Capital's movements.

And report everything to us in real time.

Then I'll try to give you as much leniency as possible.

So, which of the two is better?

So I just have to give you information, right?

Yeah.

But is it really okay to let him go?

He keeps threatening people whenever he gets a chance.

That's right. A guy who betrays his organization once will do it again.

No.

I'll keep an eye on him.

- You, Mi Kyeong? - Yes.

Mr. Cho, is Prosecutor Kang really here on Yeongseondo Island?

But there's not even a trace of her.

What, did you expect her to suddenly pop up like in a movie?

You know, tailing someone is all about patience. It's a game of patience.

Still though, finding a needle in a sand pit might be easier.

Patience, patience, patience.

[Restricted number]

Mr. Cho, I gotta take this call. Be right back.

Okay.

Yes, go ahead, boss.

It's nothing serious.

You need to come visit me today.

Suddenly? What for?

What, you only come when something happened?

I'm also curious about how things are going

with Prosecutor Kang.

Why? Are you busy?

No, boss. I'll come right away.

Alright, don't be late.

Oh, dear.

Oh, my.

Mr. Cho, I'm sorry,

but you'll have to check the CCTV alone today.

Why? All of a sudden?

It's just that headquarters suddenly asked me to come in

for organizing some inventory at the convenience store.

I'll be back quickly.

Hurry back. My eyes can't take this for long.

Okay.

Director!

I think you should take a look at this.

- Here. - What is it?

[Deposit Amount: 300,000,000 won] We shouldn't receive such a large amount.

Do you know anything about this?

N-No...

Where is Mr. Park?

I was just about to tell you.

Mr. Park is absent without notice today.

[Mr. Park Sung Hwan]

The subscriber you are calling is not available.

One bowl of rice soup, please.

Okay.

Huh? Why are you here, Assemblyman Han Kyung Wook?

Didn't we already finish talking?

Take a look.

[Details on illegal political funding at Ja Ae-won Orphanage]

[Evidence of artwork reception and fingerprint evidence material]

[Bank transaction history of Yeongseon Ja Ae-won Orphanage]

[300,000,000 won]

Are you trying to blackmail me with fabricated evidence?

Fabricated?

Didn't your wife recently receive them?

Various books and expensive artworks.

- Don't tell me those were all... - I never imagined that you,

Candidate Kim Seon Jung, a respected educator known for integrity,

would even use your spouse

to raise political funds like this.

You...

If you resign now,

this material won't be released to the press.

And your spotless reputation as a noble educator

won't be tarnished at all.

If I were afraid of a little damage to my reputation,

I wouldn't have run for office in the first place.

Seeing this only strengthens my resolve.

Even if I have to be covered in filth,

I'll stop a swindler like you from becoming the mayor,

Assemblyman Han.

Perhaps you've lived too long

in your world of pristine waters, Candidate.

You can't seem to see what's really lying at the bottom of the river.

Do you know what I learned after dealing with countless people

in the intelligence service?

To someone standing before unbearable suffering,

innocence means nothing.

When this hits headlines,

do you really think all you'll have to endure is a little public criticism?

Public opinion will only keep getting worse.

No matter how loudly you protest your innocence,

do you think anyone will listen?

Ja Ae-won Orphanage, which you've cherished for years,

will be branded a haven for illegal activity and fall apart.

And what about the people who support you?

They'll be too afraid of being labeled your accomplices to say a word.

In the end,

you'll spend years trapped in endless court battles

and end up walking in and out

of detention centers and prisons with your wife.

I'm curious, though.

After going through all of that, Candidate Kim Seon Jung,

do you really think you'll still be able

to stand before me with your head held high

and talk about justice and innocence?

Because I've never met a single person who could.

But this Sergeant Kim, he's with Yoo In Goo's crew, right?

Right, a corrupt cop bought by Yoo In Goo.

Then are you saying

Bulgae teamed up with Yoo In Goo on top of helping Kim Seon Jung?

Yoo In Goo was chasing him just yesterday, and now they're allies?

That doesn't make any sense.

No.

If that officer's involved, it makes perfect sense.

Honestly, I've always thought

that police officer was suspicious.

What made you think that?

For three years,

after every patrol, she'd come to our convenience store

and eat nothing but lunchboxes.

But nobody can eat convenience store lunchboxes

every single day without getting sick of them.

I thought it was strange,

and lately she's been throwing glances at my boss.

Honestly, a beauty like her

showing interest in my boss and visiting every day?

That's just not believable.

I've known him for over ten years,

and even I get startled seeing him sometimes.

So she approached Kang Beom Ryong on purpose?

She figured out he used to be the second-in-command of the Hwasan faction

and planned to use him from the start.

But, you seem awfully excited about this, huh?

Are you happy your boss got played?

No, it's not that.

I'm worried about him. That's all.

He could fall head over heels

for a suspicious woman like that and ruin his life.

Anyway, we don't know anything for sure yet, so let's keep watching.

And don't let Kang Beom Ryong catch on until we're certain.

Alright then.

Yesterday? It looked just like last time.

You suddenly flipped out, started doing those weird steps,

and kicked everything in sight.

What are you doing?

I was trying different things in case they triggered some memories.

Oh.

Want me to help?

- Pardon? - I mean...

I may not look it,

but before becoming a prosecutor, I spent years in violent crimes.

After handling so many cases,

I can usually piece together someone's life

just from their face, behavior, or belongings.

You can really do that?

So, do you still have any belongings

from when you were found on the beach ten years ago?

If I see them, I might be able to figure out

what kind of person you used to be.

My belongings?

[Full House]

[Park Mi Kyeong]

What now?

You should carry out the mission you've been assigned.

Do I really have to?

Can't fellow officers cut each other some slack?

Fellow officers?

There are ranks among cops, you know.

Oh, Sergeant Kim.

I was just about to call you.

Oh dear, boss. I should've called sooner.

What happened with the deal yesterday?

I heard things got pretty crazy and all sorts of stuff went down.

Jeez, the deal completely fell apart.

- Things are a total mess over here. - Oh, dear.

Oh my, that's terrible.

Anyway, I've got something to tell you about that.

You got time right now?

Y-You want me there now?

Yes, yes, I'll be there right away.

But boss, I've got a junior I recently brought in.

Mind if she joins us?

Yeah, boss.

OH! There they are!

Those dirty cops are on the move. Something must be going on for sure.

Hurry!

- Start the car already! - Oh, jeez.

You're driving me crazy with all that yelling.

- I'm starting it already. - Come on, hurry up!

- We're gonna lose them! - Put your seatbelt on.

They're moving out now.

Ah, step on it and catch up!

Keep it down!

Sorry, boss. I'm a little late!

Why are you always late?

Huh?

Who's this?

Introduce yourself. Go on.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Officer Park Mi Kyeong.

Ah! So she's the junior you mentioned.

Yes.

She's sharp, so I thought she'd be useful.

- That's why I brought her along. - Yeah?

Hello, I'm Geum Kang Sik.

Hello.

You've got great manners, as always.

But why did you ask us to meet at the harbor?

You said the deal fell through.

Exactly because it fell through.

You and your junior need to do a little work.

You know all the dashcam and CCTV footage from around here last night?

I want you to gather every last bit of it.

Huh? Why?

Man, you sure ask a lot of questions.

There are guys who messed up the deal yesterday.

We've got special orders to find out who they are, okay?

If we dig through enough footage,

we'll at least figure out where they went.

Ugh, seriously.

By the way, you can handle this, right?

You're a new face, so it makes me a bit worried.

Patrol work is my specialty.

No need to worry.

Wow!

Patrol work is her specialty?

Specialty? Okay!

Then put that talent to good use and find something.

Then I'll get you a proper incentive.

Oh! Incentive, incentive!

Mr. Yoo really knows how to reward people.

What do you mean Mr. Yoo?

This must never reach Mr. Yoo's ears.

What? Isn't this Mr. Yoo's order?

Listen carefully, okay?

Mr. Yoo is finished now.

If you don't want to get dragged down with him,

delete his number first.

And if he calls, don't answer. Got it?

Yeah, okay.

Then who gave this special order?

Chairman Do of Heaven Casino.

You wouldn't know him.

Those guys seem to be tracing us.

What if they've caught onto something?

We followed the route I planned. How would they know anything?

You never know.

That officer.

Instead of just watching her,

shouldn't we make a move first?

I told you already.

Our target is Bulgae, not that officer.

Just sit tight and watch!

You have no patience.

No patience?

Mr. Jeong, I think you've got the wrong idea.

Beom Ryong and I have spent ten years preparing to avenge our boss.

Always enduring, waiting, and holding back...

Jeez, how admirable.

What's so special about that boss of yours?

Mr. Jeong, say what you want in front of me,

but don't talk about him like that in front of Beom Ryong.

To Beom Ryong, he's not just a boss.

He's the mentor he respects and the father who took him in.

If anyone goes against him

or insults him in front of Beom Ryong,

that's the day a war starts, understand?

How foolish.

You think your boss in prison will appreciate

all that loyalty and devotion?

You know, people never see utterly loyal subordinates as equals.

They see them as obedient dogs.

Speaking from experience? Why are you so cynical?

Sounds like someone really did a number on you.

I'm giving you this advice as an NIS agent who's been through it all.

Be careful.

Boss, is something wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

I just wanted to see your face.

Is everything moving along smoothly with Prosecutor Kang?

Yes.

No major problems so far?

Well, not yet.

Things haven't settled enough for a proper report,

so I'll tell you once things are clearer.

Guess I'm bothering you while you're busy.

No, boss. Not at all.

Maybe it's because I've been locked up for so long and gotten lonely,

but I've been thinking a lot about the old days lately.

Do you remember how many people stabbed me in the back

- over the last thirty years? - Twelve.

That's right. Twelve.

One of them was a friend I'd known for forty years.

Another was like a son who followed me like I was his father.

After being betrayed by those people,

ending up living like this,

I can't help but wonder if I've lived my life all wrong.

- It's got me uneasy. - No, boss.

Absolutely not.

But when I think about it,

even though twelve betrayed me,

one man, Kang Beom Ryong,

stood by me as if he were a hundred men.

You have no idea how reassuring that is.

So what else can I do?

So here I am, a man who doubts everyone,

who can't even trust his own wife or children,

yet I trust you, Kang Beom Ryong, completely.

Leave it to me.

Beom Ryong, from now on,

you're the only one I'm counting on.

You know that, right?

Yes, I understand.

From now on,

you're the only one I'm counting on.

What?

I'm sorry.

Looks like things didn't go so well with your subordinate.

So these are... the clothes you were wearing

when you fell into the water, Ms. Bong Jae Soon?

Yes.

But, why were you wearing these, Jae Soon?

Oh, jeez.

Just to be clear, this has absolutely nothing to do

with my personal taste.

I genuinely have no interest in women's clothes like this.

But no matter how much I look at these, I can't remember

why I ended up in the sea wearing these.

Okay.

Then... were there any other belongings?

According to the old man, there was only an ID and a photograph.

I've checked the records, turns out I have no family and no one looking for me.

What about the photo?

Even the photo...

I can't tell what it is no matter how many times I look at it.

It looks like it could be from a postcard or a magazine.

What does it look like to you, Prosecutor?

What if...

What would you do

if everything you thought you knew about your past was wrong?

- Pardon? - Well, it's possible, isn't it?

So like, what if you found out you were a serial killer?

Or something equally shocking.

Even so, do you still want to find out about your past?

I've thought about the possibility that it might be hard to accept.

Still, if I can, I'd like to find out the truth.

Because my past is part of who I am.

I've already made up my mind.

No matter what I was like in the past,

I want to make an effort to try and accept it.

Then I'll get going first.

No need to sit. This won't take long.

Pardon?

I've committed an unforgivable mistake!

- I'll explain everything! - An explanation

doesn't turn failure into success.

- Mr. Han... - Honestly, I don't care

whether you sell drugs or kill prosecutors, Mr. Yoo.

As long as the job gets done

and leaves no loose ends,

I could overlook a certain amount of freelancing. But...

How did you manage to screw things up this badly?

I'll fix everything.

I'll track down and crush those masked punks who ruined the drug deal,

and get back the money--

Not fix it.

You need to take responsibility.

Give up every business connected to you,

and hand them over to Chairman Do.

Mr. Han, how can I hand over my businesses to Chairman Do?

I think there's been a misunderstanding.

Mr. Han is done with you.

- Leave now! - This is completely unfair.

Unfair?

Yeah, I've heard it enough to be sick of it.

"It's unfair. I did nothing wrong."

You know what all those guys have in common?

Give me two hours alone with them,

and the color drains right out of their faces.

Then they start begging for their lives like nothing has happened

and rattling off every wrong they've ever done.

What do you think you'll do?

Secretary Baek.

Let me ask you just one thing.

Was this whole thing orchestrated by Do Hyeon Tae?

- Kang Sik. - Yes.

Get all our boys together.

Boss, what are you planning to do?

The coffin lid isn't shut yet. Shouldn't we at least fight before it's over?

Tonight, we're going after Chairman Do.

Boss, it's too dangerous.

Danger or not, my hard-earned business

has already been completely handed over to Chairman Do.

If I just let this happen,

how am I supposed to show my face in this world?

I'll take down Chairman Do, get my businesses back,

and settle things with Mr. Han too.

You understand?

Understood, boss. I'll get the boys ready.

Good. I'll show them what kind of man I really am.

You must be tired.

That idiot Yoo In Goo has made things unnecessarily complicated.

He's going to cause us a lot of headaches going forward.

As for the businesses, Chairman Do will manage them well, right?

Chairman Do is useless for anything outside business.

Yoo In Goo was at least good for handling the dirty work.

Didn't Chairman Do say

he'd place a capable replacement under Yoo In Goo?

If we want the Yeongseondo Island Project to go smoothly to the end,

those kinds of people won't cut it.

We need a seasoned veteran

who's survived a few battlefields.

[Sending you materials related to the ferry incident]

Wow.

So it wasn't an unidentified woman,

it was Mr. Bong Jae Soon.

North Korea...

[Two NIS agents vanished during a ferry arrest operation]

[before making contact with North Korea]

NIS...

Today is the day that decides whether the In Goo faction lives or dies.

Will we live with everything taken away

by that fox Chairman Do and be looked down on forever,

or will we rise again with me?

That's up to all of you.

- Understood? - Yes, boss!

Boss.

- Chairman Do is currently at the penthouse. - What about security?

I've confirmed that Mr. Nam and everyone else have left for the day.

Let's go.

Wow!

Nice timing, Mr. Yoo. You came just in time.

What are you up to now? Can't you read the room?

Come on, of course I can.

I've got the whole situation figured out.

You're here to stab me in the back, aren't you?

And knowing that, you're popping champagne?

Here.

It's a historic moment, upgrading from In Goo faction to Kang Sik faction.

Can't let that pass without notice.

A toast to the successful launch of Kang Sik faction! Salute!

Salute.

Kang Sik, what are you up to?

Salute.

Mr. Yoo, can you not tell what's going on?

Who do you think handed me that dashcam SD card?

You little rat, Geum Kang Sik!

- How dare you do this to me? - Why the harsh words?

Mr. In Goo, I can't spend my whole life

getting my shins kicked by you.

I'm getting old enough for my bones to ache.

Time for me to go independent, right?

Boys.

Do you really think you'll get away with this?

Mr. Geum? No, no.

It's President Geum now.

It's getting late, so let's send Mr. Yoo on his way

and sit down for a drink.

- Yes. - Come on, have a seat.

Guys, what are you waiting for?

Mr. In Goo is heading somewhere nice. See him off properly.

Hey.

Wait, wait.

Let me say one thing. Okay?

Looks like Kang Sik learned well under me.

Even learned how to stab his boss in the back.

Chairman Do, I'm leaving anyway,

but surely, one last glass of champagne isn't too much to ask, right?

Champagne, my foot.

What kind of trick are you trying to pull, Mr. In Goo?

What trick? I'm about to take a long trip. My throat's dry, that's all.

Just one drink. Come on, don't be scared.

Chairman Do, you've always been this timid?

Trying to be clever, huh?

Okay, okay.

Mr. Yoo and I go way back.

We should at least have a farewell drink.

Here. Goodbye.

Oh, come on.

Oh, jeez.

Come on, don't be scared.

Huh?

Boss, boss!

- Stop right there! - Put the knife down!

Put it down!

Not putting it down? I'm really gonna stab him.

Do you really want me to stab him?

- Put it down? - Put it down.

- Down, down! - Told you to put it down.

- Kang Sik. - Yes, Boss In Goo.

- Before I come back, - Yes.

- take good care of those shins of yours. - Pardon?

Go after him!

Wow!

- As expected, he never fails to surprise. - Hurry!

But what am I supposed to do for fun without him?

Hey, you punk!

Get him!

Get him!

- Darn it. - Come on!

No...

Geum Kang Sik!

Do Hyeon Tae, Han Kyung Wook, those punks!

Boss, what do we do?

He can run all he wants, but he's still stuck on the island.

Without a penny to his name, where could he possibly go?

Station men at the terminal

and search every place he might go.

Yes, boss.

[O Ran Chinese Restaurant]

O Ran, do you have to go out again today?

Why?

Well, it's not that...

It's just we're fully booked with a group reservation today.

No, no. The two of us can...

- The two of us can... - Enough!

Don't hold back, just say it.

This is getting ridiculous, don't you think?

Huh? Ho Myung is gone,

and you're always running around outside.

Do you know how hard Mr. Kim and I have been working?

Do I really have to

spend my old age walking on eggshells around my daughter?

Alright, I got it.

I'll stay at the restaurant all day today.

I'll handle everything myself, from opening to closing.

You two don't lift a finger.

Just sit and rest today.

Really? You're serious, right?

Of course, I am. I wasn't planning to go out today anyway.

You two are taking the day off.

Wait a second. What am I... Ah!

- How about a cup of instant coffee first? - Sit down. Stay seated.

Why are you so quick on your feet all of a sudden?

I'll make it for you. I will.

- Wait. - You like that so much?

We'll bring you breaking news that just came in.

Candidate Kim Seon Jung, who was leading the Imcheon mayoral race,

has just announced his voluntary withdrawal.

While Candidate Kim cited

[Imcheon mayoral candidate withdraws today] health reasons for his resignation,

the abrupt move has sparked mixed reactions among his supporters.

I once again apologize to my supporters

and bow my head in sincere gratitude

- for all the support I have received. - Jeez!

Have you looked into the other thing I mentioned yesterday?

The police are conducting a thorough search

for the martial arts master

and those masked guys.

And regarding the Ja Ae-won Orphanage staff,

I've put a few people on them.

Whoever... Whoever they are,

they'll contact us immediately upon approach.

Good job, good job. As expected of our Mr. Geum.

No, President Geum, you and I work perfectly in sync.

I knew it would be like this.

Eat this quickly. It's premium stuff.

Step on it, harder!

This stain won't come out at all.

What is this? It's like being a slave.

We should wash the blankets in the machine.

How is anyone supposed to...

Nam Il, step on the end a bit more.

Oh, dear.

You've really been working hard since this morning.

Prosecutor Kang,

you're going back to the district on the boat today, right?

Yes. But it's the evening boat.

You're not going to pretend none of this happened

just because you're leaving, right?

Come on, I'll go back first,

wrap up the urgent matters, and come right back.

- Are you busy? - Pardon?

There's something I need to tell you before I leave.

Oh, yes, go ahead and say it here.

No, it's important, so let's talk at the café.

I'll wait downstairs, so come out.

I'll step out for a moment.

Okay, okay.

Uncle, what's going on?

Did something happen with that prosecutor lady?

She said she has something important to say and wants to meet at the café.

Right? I told you so!

Her eyes looked serious, I'm telling you.

It's not like that.

But why is she suddenly asking to meet?

Wait, wait, Uncle, hold on.

You're not going to meet her looking like that, are you?

Right, a woman basically asked you out, and you show up looking like that?

It's not like she asked me out on a date.

Well...

[Jeongseok Study Residence]

[One heart]

Nam Il told me...

to bundle up because it's cold.

He even gave me a cap.

- Looks weird, right? - No.

It's cute, though.

Let's go.

Director!

- O Ran! - What happened?

Why is Mr. Kim resigning?

What should I do?

It's all my fault.

I didn't even realize they bribed my staff to get to him.

He told me Chairman Do was suspicious

and not to accept anything,

but I was so foolish...

No, wait.

Please calm down, Director.

I don't have time for this.

O Ran, I'm sorry, but I have to go out right now.

- We'll talk details later. - No, wait.

But what are you going to do out there?

That staff member has worked with me for over ten years.

If I go and talk to him,

he'll come clean and say it was all his doing,

that my husband had nothing to do with it.

But if they went as far as bribing and threatening your staff,

they're not ordinary people.

I'll find a way to handle this.

Please stay here and wait.

Wait for what?

If we lose time, he can't even withdraw his resignation!

Should he really give up the election unfairly because of me?

O Ran, I have to go.

- No... - I must do something.

Then let me go with you.

- Together? - It's better than going alone.

Let me come with you.

Beom Ryong.

Beom Ryong!

Oh.

Sorry, I just need a moment to think.

Oh dear, even if yesterday's visit didn't go well,

you can't let it affect work like this.

How did you know that, Mr. Cho?

You didn't look like you were going to headquarters,

so I checked a bit.

What, seeing Chairman Hwang

made you uneasy about teaming up

with a former enemy intelligence agent?

Oh, dear.

I couldn't even bring it up.

My boss thinks I'm teamed up with Prosecutor Kang.

Oh, it's just...

Well, if Chairman Hwang already considers us enemies,

no wonder you're not willing to tell the truth.

But you could just say we are comrades

who took down Yoo In Goo together.

I honestly don't know how to explain it.

Honestly, isn't it true that Jeong Ho Myung and I could turn on each other at any moment?

What nonsense? Don't be so dramatic.

Ho Myung just talks tough, that's all.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Seriously, you really don't get it.

Do you even know Ho Myung is actually being considerate of you, Beom Ryong?

- Considerate? - Ah, well...

I was told not to say this, but I guess I have to.

Even with a new boss,

our work never changes.

Always surveillance, beatings, threats.

I'm sick of it.

Exactly.

Our boss even got promoted.

Tell me about it.

Over here! Hurry!

What?

- Hello? - Boss, Kim Seon Jung's wife has shown up.

- What? - But she came with another woman.

The woman who came in a van to Kim Seon Jung's house last time.

Oh, right.

The frying pan lady!

- Oh, I remember her. - What should we do?

Just wait for now.

It's broad daylight, plenty of witnesses, so hold on.

Stay put. We need men for cleanup.

Yes, boss.

Sergeant Kim, if you're free, want to go on patrol?

A patrol? You mean now?

Yeah, smooth and clean like usual.

- You know? - Like usual, fast and clean.

Yes, send me the address.

Yes, boss.

That startled me!

Darn you.

- What brings you here? - What brings me here? Get off!

- Huh? - You go back and watch the CCTV.

I'll handle things here.

I heard everything from Mr. Cho.

Mi Kyeong...

was the woman from that van, right?

It's not confirmed yet.

Not confirmed?

But you said you saw her face clearly at Yeongseon Port.

Since when do you leave me out just to be considerate?

Do I look like an idiot who'd lose it over something like this?

Yeah, actually you do.

You little...

Actually, it wasn't for your sake.

We need to stay calm, set aside emotions,

and figure things out properly.

So no need to thank me.

From now on, tell me everything.

We're supposed to be temporary allies, so there should be no secrets between us!

Answer me.

Is it already patrol time?

We'll know if we follow them.

So... what did you want to talk to me about?

I've thought about this a lot too.

Whether I should even say it...

I mean, from your perspective,

this could be a really serious matter.

But I think you need to know.

Yes, that's right.

If it's difficult, you can tell me later.

But putting it off isn't like me.

- Mr. Bong Jae Soon... - Just a moment, please.

I mean, it's my first time. Not exactly first time, but still,

I need some time to think it through.

Right now, it feels very sudden.

Still, you did say you'd accept

whatever your lost past turns out to be, right?

Pardon?

Oh, yes... I did. But why?

Based on various pieces of evidence,

it's likely you were once

a North Korean special operative, Mr. Bong Jae Soon.

What?

[North Korean and NIS operatives missing] Here, read this article.

It says an NIS agent and a North Korean operative

went missing while making contact on a ferry.

[October 8, 2016] And look at the article date.

It matches when you were rescued at sea.

And most importantly,

the dress the woman in the photo is wearing,

doesn't it look familiar?

It's the same dress you showed me yesterday, Jae Soon.

That's ridiculous.

No... Me? A spy?

That's nonsense. Even if I were NIS...

I don't even speak with a North Korean accent.

And my ID says Bong Jae Soon. This makes no sense.

Long-term infiltrated agents often don't use dialects.

And if you were an NIS agent,

they would've contacted you after the identity check.

But despite all the background checks,

not a single relative or acquaintance was ever found, right?

All of these circumstances point very clearly to one conclusion.

It's certain. You're a North Korean operative.

So I was alone from the start.

I don't have a real family, do I?

Mr. Bong Jae Soon, I know you're confused.

No, I'm just Bong Jae Soon.

Jae Soon!

They're here. Get ready.

- Yes. - Okay.

Let's go.

Aren't those guys from Heaven Capital?

Yeah.

Shouldn't we step in?

They look like they're about to start something big.

Huh? Wait, wait, wait!

What are you doing now?

So we're just gonna sit here and watch?

Did you forget Prosecutor Kang's orders?

We're supposed to just monitor the situation.

Don't get involved and blow things up unnecessarily.

Let's just wait around and handle cleanup

if any report comes in.

I'll go check it out. You stay here.

You think you can handle it alone? I should go with you.

They know your face. Wait up.

Come on...

Samil-ro 29, report of a missing 6-year-old child.

We're nearby.

What should we do?

There's nothing much around here.

- Let's head out. - Okay, okay, sure.

Let's go, let's go.

Please leave. I have nothing to say.

Mr. Park, if something's wrong, it needs to be corrected.

Didn't you see my husband resigned because of you?

Stop this.

If you keep doing this, I'll be the one who gets hurt.

Hurt? What do you mean?

Are you being threatened?

You... who are you people?

What are you waiting for? Get them out quickly.

What's taking so long? Get them out now!

No, wait...

- No, no. - Who are you?

Why are you doing this?

- Let go! - Let's go. Why is she so strong...

- No... - What's wrong?

It doesn't have to go this far!

Oh, no!

Let go right now!

What are you doing? Can't handle her alone?

Come out!

Please save me! Please...

Chang Soo, if you help me this once, I can turn things around.

Word spreads fast in this world.

You lost the drugs and ended up broke,

and your backing's all gone.

So what makes you think I'd help you?

You traitor! You can't do this to me.

A guy who stabbed his boss

is talking about loyalty?

Don't splash your mess on me.

Keep your head down and stay quiet.

What?

Darn it!

Martial arts master.

Prosecutor Kang Young Ae?

Why are those two still alive?

Those two have been colluding the whole time?

If I'm going down,

I'm taking all of you with me!

Jae Soon!

- Let go! - Just let us go!

Stop this!

Is this woman insane?

- Come out. - Let go!

- Move! - Let go!

Have you lost your mind?

Huh? A knife!

Have you really made up your mind?

I'm going to tell her everything.

I was a black ops agent from the NIS.

You've been deceiving me for ten years.

Those guys are truly horrible.

They're not opponents that an ordinary officer can take on.

I don't see any reason I should listen to you.

What do you think of my uncle?

He seems like a really good person.

Bulgae is not amnesiac.

Bulgae, a human weapon trained in North Korea.

I really don't remember.

There's definitely some scheme behind this.

From what I see, it looks like he really lost all his memory.

Don't get any ideas, you darn spy.

He's not Bong Jae Soon, but Bulgae.
