This film is based on a true story, but all incidents and characters are a work of fiction.

Today, an agreement upon request for IMF bailout

upon request for IMF bailout was finally signed.

It has been decided to sell Daehan Bank to Star Fund,

a foreign private equity fund.

The controversial sale of Daehan Bank by Star Fund

has been put on hold.

The Financial Services Commission will make a final ruling on

Star Fund's sale of Daehan Bank on July 28.

BLACK MONEY

D-73 until deliberation on the sale of Daehan Bank.

Yes. Okay.

I got it.

What's the matter?

Think I need to appear again to the SPO (Supreme Prosecutor's Office).

Who? Me or you?

Both of us.

You said that last investigation was the final one.

Then what else did the prosecutors find out?

I think they found out about our relationship.

That means they found out everything?

Including the fact that you made me send those faxes?

You said you could pull some strong strings.

Who made you do that?

You don't need to know that.

You just play dumb,

as if you never sent that fax.

I'll say,

I just took the fax sent from your part,

and gave it to the top management.

You think that makes sense?

They're prosecutors from the SPO.

We never know what they have.

Wake up! Oh no!

Are you okay? Hey, you alright?

Babe, call the police! Quick!

Soo-hyun

Hey, Soo-hyun.

How's it going with your hit-and-run?

Well, the assailant is already wanted by police...

but they can't recognize the license plate number,

the plate is too dirty.

So what, they can't catch the assailant?

The police say they will, no matter what it takes.

By the way, the prosecution sent something again.

What?

Why do they keep sending these?

I'm driving right now, talk to you later.

1819, 1819, pull over please.

Pull over, pull over please.

Show me your license, please.

- Sir, that truck... - I mean, your license.

That truck, that truck!

- Here! - It's here!

She is in the car!

At 8am this morning, a 33-year-old woman

was found dead, by the riverside near Goyang City.

Police said she was

found dead in a car, with a charcoal briquette ignited.

Coercive investigation and sexual assault led to tragedy

She left a text message that seems like a suicide note.

It says, she was subjected to coercive investigation and

sexual harassment by a prosecutor of

- Seoul Central District Office... - Sexual harassment?

- ...and could not stand it. - What?

Seoul Central District? Who's that?

Fucking embarrassed to work as a prosecutor!

Senior Presidential Secretary for PR got nothing to do?

Who is YANG Min-hyuk?

- That's me. - What?

I've been involved in illegal gambling?

Your sting operation was far more illegal, assholes!

You're bulldozing it through, aren't you?

Yes I am, and that's why I'm called Bulldozer!

- How dare you...! - Calm down...

Mr. Yang...

The Inspection Headquarters want you, as soon as possible.

Inspection Headquarters?

You called your boss for help, didn't you?

Called the Office of President? Huh?

Mr. Jang, hold him tight.

I will arrest you, got it?

Wait, Mr. Yang!

Where's the Inspection Headquarters?

- 2nd floor of SPO! - SPO...

Mr. Yang! Mr. Yang!

Supreme Prosecutor's Office

A word, please!

Who is the prosecutor that committed the sexual assault?

You must know who!

- Excuse me! - At least a name, please!

Goddammit.

I can't tell you anymore.

An official statement will be announced later.

This is the last text PARK Soo-kyung sent to her sister.

Was that her?

'Soo-hyun.

The words from that prosecutor while touching me..

I can't even say them out loud.

Nightmares every night.

Let the whole world know to prevent more victims...'

Look, I've never done any of these things.

Then what? You are saying she lost her mind?

No record of crime or mental illness at all.

She's a total nut!

I remember how she got here,

from a serial collision hit-and-run.

But then...!

Three days ago Criminal Department 3, Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office

Victims are willing to settle, so you've got to meet them.

I just want to be punished.

Gosh... What's wrong with you?

How come you don't want a settlement?

- I just want punishment. - You'll just pay a fine.

I want to go to jail.

Look...

Not every hit-and-runner goes to jail.

Mr. Prosecutor.

- Please help me. - Help what?

- I shouldn't get out of here. - Hey, Bulldozer.

- What you doing? - Yeah, I'm coming!

Please wait...

Sir, please.

Please arrest me. Please?

Whoa, relax...

Release her and let's go for dinner.

Mr. Prosecutor!

- Go settle with them... - Sir!

Hey, hey! Soo-kyung

Yeah, you must be telling the truth.

I do trust you.

Well... but what can we do?

It's a total mess now, our website crashed.

A complete mess, I say!

All our staffs were around during the investigation!

It's not in her note, whether you assaulted her

in your office or car, or in a karaoke!

Why would I go to a karaoke with her?

Then prove that you're telling the truth!

She didn't kill herself.

Her autopsy will tell you!

An autopsy? Her family rejected!

Hey, they said they'll cremate her, right?

- Right. - Stop!

They can't cremate her now!

- Goddammit! - Wait, hey!

You fool! Stop!

You shameless bastard!

Not arrested yet?

It's not... It's not a suicide!

How dare you come here!

You shouldn't cremate her...

Listen to me, I didn't assault her...

Stop! Stop it! Soo-chul, stop!

Stop it!

- What are you doing, are you crazy? - I didn't assault her.

We have to re-investigate this, you know that?

Just leave! Leave!

Boss.

You need to understand.

Well, they want at least a six-month punishment,

I'll try to make it one-month.

What one-month?

Jesus! You asshole scared me...

Here, just fire me,

so that I can have a press conference!

Look at you, you are crossing the line.

Now, you are messing around even with me?

It's a top-level decision, you think it's a joke?

Then, you want me to live the rest of my life

labelled as a sexual harasser?

- Is that so? - That's not what I'm saying.

Let's quiet down the public first.

Uniformity of public prosecutors!

All prosecutors are one! Put your trust in it!

Oh, forget it. What uniformity?

Look, I am going to investigate this case, got it?

Hey, YANG Min-hyuk!

What? A punishment?

What are you doing!

Hey come on, drink up.

Yeah! Bottoms up!

They're telling you to choose between,

rotting as a prosecutor for good,

or quitting and be a lawyer.

You can never be a lawyer once labelled

as a sexual harasser.

What was it, uniformity of prosecutors?

Told me to trust them and take a good rest.

PARK Seung-chul! Do you trust prosecution?

Not this time!

Not this time!

Never.

Who would ever trust Korean prosecutors?

Bingo!

You fucker, how dare you...

D-57 until deliberation.

Why is the Korean government delaying the sale of Daehan Bank?

They are worried about political pressure

from the National Assembly, civil organizations,

and hostile public opinion.

They claim that Star Fund

is draining the national wealth of Korea,

by selling Daehan Bank.

What kind of lobbying have they done so far?

Why can't they neutralize the public opinion?

That's why our boys hired you, Ms. Kim.

We have complete confidence in you.

I've reviewed the documents already,

but I have just one question.

Star Fund Korea's Chairman Steve Jung is now wanted in Korea.

Why is he on the run without paying taxes?

Ask him yourself.

Hey, everyone!

I'm sorry you had to catch me at a moment like this.

Why did you sneak out of Korea without paying 7.8 billion won you owe in taxes?

That's why the public opinion is getting worse and worse every day.

Why don't you expedite the sale of the bank?

I'll then sell my shares and pay the taxes.

Hey, I wanna go back and work again.

Here I have nothing but

women, booze and gambling.

Pay the money you owe first.

The bank needs to be sold first to pay the taxes...

Are we going to the airport now?

Yes, let's go.

Yes, Doctor.

Yes, we're going to the airport now.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

What's going on?

Here...

Soo-kyung My sister never used a period,

she always just jumped to the next line.

But here, she put periods at the end of every sentence...

A bit weird.

Take a look.

And... she recently got investigated at the SPO.

The SPO?

Why?

I don't know.

Since then, she seemed nervous, she wasn't herself.

I asked her why, but she never told me.

Did she? Hold on a second.

Hey CHOI, it's me.

You know PARK Soo-kyung, don't you?

Yeah, that woman from Daehan Bank...

Never mind, where are you?

Central Investigation Headquarter SPO

Thank you for your service every night and day!

Here, grab a cup of coffee.

Well, thanks...

Hey, what did you guys do with PARK Soo-kyung when you brought her in?

What the...? Talk to me, bastard.

- Have a coffee... - Good night! Hey CHOI!

Where are you going?

So tell me, what was PARK's investigation about?

The sale of Daehan Bank at a giveaway price.

A bank worth of 70 billion dollars was sold at 1.7 billion.

Kidding me? How's it possible, 1.7 billion for 70-billion bank?

Doesn't make sense at all.

But the ground for that was just five pages of a fax.

A fake report that Daehan sent to FSS (Financial Supervisory Service).

A fake report?

A document with a manipulated BIS ratio.

BIS? What's BIS?

It's called capital adequacy ratio.

So they sent a fax stating that Daehan is financially distressed,

with its low ratio of owner's capital...

So based on that fax, FSS allowed Daehan Bank to be sold at such price?

What a smart boy.

Hey hey, wait...

Then who sent that fax?

That was PARK from Daehan Bank.

So we were digging into her connection,

but then, PARK died.

That's all?

PARK, who sent the fax and this man,

who received it at FSS, were lovers.

But he had been killed in a car accident, before PARK.

Wait! One killed by an accident, the other committed suicide!

And they're lovers!

But then, the investigation came to a halt.

Those Star Fund bitches took over the bank and,

now trying to resell at a higher price...

Wait, wait, wait...

Came to a halt? Why?

How do I investigate when she's gone?

It all got pulled down, because of your sexual harassment.

Goddammit... Hey!

I'll make it clear.

I didn't do it. Okay?

Yes, I'll take care of it.

Excuse me, sir.

Hey., I'm talking with him now.

Um... Sir, did you stop the investigation on Daehan Bank?

Yeah. Why?

I mean...

Both of two involved in the BIS fax got killed.

Isn't it obvious?

And PARK, who sent that fax, she didn't die because of me!

You have to keep investigating!

- Were you drinking? - Pardon?

Isn't he under punishment?

- I'm sorry. - Keep your nose to yourself.

Sir, I mean...

Who do you think you are, sticking your head in their case?

- Sir, I need to... - Oh, shut up.

Stop it there and just have a beef soup.

- Damn beef soup... - Here! A beef soup, please!

No thanks! No beef soup, please!

An oxtail soup, instead!

Make it extra large!

- A total disgrace! - Who is YANG?

- It's him, isn't it? - I believe so.

YANG Min-hyuk / Suspended for one month

What the...?

His statement is confirmed as true.

And he's got a clean record.

Can I go now?

Then, what was he doing on May 16,

when CHOI had an accident?

It was confirmed that he was driving away from city on that day.

Look!

Do you know how many orders I've missed today?

We're sorry.

You may go now.

Dammit, it's only words.

Nothing from this truck yet?

Well, we're tracking the CCTV and

examining all repair shops and junkyards nationwide.

Reinvestigation on the sale of Daehan Bank at a giveaway price

Wait, could you turn up the volume please?

We'll thoroughly investigate the alleged corruptions

including the low-priced sale of Daehan Bank.

All parties are paying attention to his comment which is made

ahead of upcoming deliberation on the sale of Daehan Bank.

Meanwhile, the prosecutor involved in sexual harassment...

- Oh, crap! - ...got suspended for one month...

Just turn it off!

And let me know right away if you find anything.

Central Investigation Headquarter, SPO

How's it going with Steve JUNG?

Steve JUNG has disappeared after he left Korea.

- Interpol's still chasing? - Yes.

And we were tracking down the BIS manipulation,

when these two involved passed away.

Then why did you stop there?

Um... That was because...

After KIM Sang-cheol became a Senior Secretary of Civil Affairs...

I got a call from him, too.

I'll take full responsibility.

- Keep digging it! - Yes, sir.

- Let's go! - Yes, sir!

Good morning, Dad.

Whoa, now you've got much fewer books.

Donated to the college when I retired.

And Doctor LEE? When is he coming?

In a minute.

Oh, Doctor LEE told me...

He's proud to have an expert like you,

now that Korea has a world-class economy.

He'd recommend you for proportional representation.

You want me to be one of those congressmen?

- Na-ri! I'm here! - Doctor LEE!

Long time no see!

- How have you been? - Good, long time no see.

- Welcome! - Look at you.

Could you take it over there?

You know, public opinion is getting worse,

calling it 'eat-and-run' or something.

They insist a punitive order on the sale of Daehan Bank.

That means,

they won't admit the control premium,

and want those shares released on the market.

That's not how it works with foreign capital brought in.

- Tell me about it. - Minister LEE.

Look what she's become.

I knew it ever since she was born!

Na-ri, I'm attending the Davos Forum.

Wow, really? Congratulations!

"Solutions to Crisis of Capitalism"

Can't wait.

Would you help me with my transcript?

Of course, my honor.

Gee, why attack the rich every day?

Are they socialist or what?

They'll give it up sooner or later.

Eventually, they need to go back to their lives.

What's worse is...

those who attack professionally.

'Ex and current officials of Ministry of Finance, a.k.a. MOFIA,

they've brought in the IMF crisis and

agreed on IMF's brutal conditions.

Attorney SEO Kwon-young, representing the Joint Committee

to stop a non-punitive sale of Daehan Bank.'

Well, the whole press is subordinate to his words...

You know him in person?

Too well.

He's one of those that I respect.

- Gosh, this looks tough. - Hey.

Let's go.

- Hunger strike for two weeks? - Two-week is lucky.

An endless fight until they get their jobs again.

14 days with just water?

No way! Might be grabbing something at night...

Hey, wait!

What did you just say?

- I... I mean... - Apologize.

I was just worried that you'd fall.

I apologize.

So, PARK from Daehan finance sent that fake BIS report

to CHOI here, and he forwarded it there.

Then who approved this?

At that time, CHOI was only a manager.

Deputy or senior deputy might have approved it, but...

The then deputy is now a senior deputy,

and then senior, a governor on top.

Got promotion as a trade-off!

Is that so?

- What's this? - An organizational chart.

I need to take it with me!

You nuts, just copy them.

Let me.

Your temper hasn't changed a bit.

Let me see...

- Just see. - Okay.

Remember you stole all of my law books from my room, back in freshman year?

I left you a note.

That note, saying you'll take state exam,

shifting from engineering major!

And took all my books?

Come on, knock it off.

Why don't you quit that and be my assistant?

- What? - Well, you know it all.

And look, it's all in here.

- Or be my senior. - Screw you.

You said why bother to do labor campaign.

Now you are standing on our side to clear your name?

I'm a prosecutor, there's no taking sides.

Arrest union members for illegal strike,

and arrest owners for corrupted company.

Hey, but CHOI... What, what is it?

How dare you come all the way here?

Because you never meet me even if I ask.

Alright, I'll see you somewhere else later.

Hey! Where are your manners?

- Please have a seat... - Hey!

She flew all the way from America to help Star Fund.

She's a legal advisor of Daehan case at CK Law Firm,

the greediest law seller in Korea, and...

And, the first thing I did here was recommend restructuring,

which made hundreds of staffs lose their jobs?

Don't you see that?

They'll rush toward you if they know you're that KIM Na-ri.

Cut it out! Please have a seat first.

It's been long since Star Fund recovered its investment,

and even got a high dividend yield, too.

But then, what? Restructuring was inevitable?

That's not an investment, but a speculation.

Now they're about to eat up billions of dollars,

with control premium added, and then run away!

You consider investment as a crime?

Think we could overcome the IMF crisis without foreign capitals?

What? Privatizing public sectors, such as Korea Ginseng Corp.,

by using those speculators, it's what you call 'overcome'?

Why understate the increased competitive edge and efficiency?

Jesus! That competitiveness...

- You lost? - What?

By the way, who are you to keep interrupting?

- Well, I'm... - My junior from school.

Got scandalous lately as a sexual-assaulter prosecutor.

How could you introduce a person like that! So inappropriate!

I'm Prosecutor YANG from...

Na-ri, you know well about Star Fund.

They're not even qualified to run a bank.

Their qualification?

Hasn't it all been verified by the financial regulators?

Right, those regulators and you law firm guys

made it a distressed bank to easily take over,

even manipulating BIS ratio!

Manipulate?

Is that how poor our financial supervision system security is?

If this is illegal, I won't let this happen.

Wait, then...

Let me get straight to the point.

All we need to do is check whether FSS

has committed an illegal act, right?

Who was the direct boss of dead CHOI, senior deputy...?

- YIM Seung-man. - Right, YIM Seung-man.

Okay, you two keep fighting. I'm leaving now.

Please copy it.

You wanted to see me for this kind of talk?

Not former president LEE Seung-man, YIM Seung-man!

Make Investigator PARK study documents.

Could you do legworks?

Yup, right.

Take care.

Hello, Ms. Kim!

Bush Sr. and the President of Korea met yesterday.

And I'm sure they discussed the sale of Daehan Bank.

Chris, I need to know something.

Did you by any chance order them

to manipulate the capital adequacy ratio?

Whoa! You're quite blunt, aren't you?

Let me be perfectly clear about this.

It's a baseless accusation.

Koreans are known to be irrational.

Irrational?

I think what you're saying is rather irrational.

I saw you called me, Producer YOON, right?

I'll do that interview.

Please send your questions via e-mail.

There's something you should know before you go.

I'm not a sexual assaulter, you hear?

I'm not interested.

Okay... Not interested...

The sale of Daehan Bank at a giveaway price.

This bank worth over 70 billion was sold at 1.7 billion

But the ground for that was just five pages of a fax.

PARK, who sent the fax and this man,

who received it at FSS, were lovers.

So based on that fax, FSS

allowed Daehan Bank to be sold at such price?

Can I ask you something?

That is...

Hello?

This is Detective BANG from the traffic division.

The very first truck was a stolen one.

We can't actually track the driver.

But he had been killed in a car accident, before PARK.

Wait! One killed by an accident,

the other committed suicide! And they are lovers!

But then...

the investigation came to a halt.

Wait, wait, wait...

Came to a halt? Why?

'PARK' - 'CHOI'

YIM Seung-man: Promoted to senior deputy

D-24 until deliberation.

How have you been!

Welcome back!

One month felt like a year.

All about YIM Seung-man, Senior Deputy of FSS.

Okay.

Nothing special about him.

Except that he got promoted after the sale of Daehan Bank...

Here's a recap of it.

How about legworks?

He has a good reputation.

Well known as a decent church elder.

Okay, let's get going!

We’ll figure out his real reputation when we see him.

- Thanks. - I'll see you.

Geez... I knew it!

- Wait, no way! - I just called you.

I'm Prosecutor YANG from Seoul Central Office.

Where were you when Mr. Choi got in an accident?

What?

I went off to business trip.

What about from 8 to 10pm on June 1?

Why do you ask?

It's the estimated time of death of PARK from Daehan Bank.

That's when I was still on the trip.

I heard the news saying that she committed suicide...

Why are you doing this to me, after it's all done?

It's saved exactly the same on your cell phone, too?

Let me see your calendar on your phone.

Good, go ahead! Take a look!

Here, you see?

A 20-day business trip in Europe until this day!

Look, Mr. Yang. I'm a Christian.

How can I lie to you when the god is watching?

Why don't you visit a church...

What are you doing without permission?

What's this again?

All I need is his vehicle log!

You must be keeping the log!

Well, that's...

Is that it? I only need June,

! say, I just need June!

Hey! What are you doing!

We only need the vehicle log...

Okay, this is too much/

You should officially investigate with your warrant!

Well, well. Let's leave for now.

Yes. Thanks!

What a brute!

Now I'm even involved in illegal wiretap,

while trying to prove your innocence.

You owe me a job if I'm fired!

You used to do it...

You used to do it all the time back at public security sector!

And I can't be a lawyer if labelled as assaulter!

How can I give you a job?

I shouldn't have left the public security...

Says it takes 6 thousand dollars a month to his kid

for private SAT sessions for American college entrance.

Gosh, whole country's going crazy...

6 thousand... That's insane...

Listen!

A prosecutor came today. Seems like he marked me.

I am a bit nervous.

No worries, we are always keeping our eyes on you.

And did you see the preview of MBS 'Reporter Note?'

Heard it covered the Star Fund case.

It'll get controversial once it airs...

I'm aware of it.

'Reporter Note!'

Mr. Yang?

Do you know that,

a woman from Daehan Bank killed herself, a while ago?

I saw it on the news.

To be clear, she was murdered.

So I was wondering if I could find some lead.

Let me watch that episode in advance.

- It has been put on hold. - What?

They took all the original and edited films from us,

saying it'll downgrade national credit, my ass.

Is Mr. Chairman around?

Perhaps. Said he had a meeting all night.

Then... Let me see your script first.

Mr. Yang, you gotta officially request for our cooperation.

Gosh, typical Korean prosecutors...

What a cocky...

How do you do, Mr. Chairman.

I'm Prosecutor YANG from Seoul Central Office.

Why did you put 'Reporter Note' on hold?

Could I get a copy of that episode?

We need it for our investigation.

We're public broadcaster.

Submit your official request and follow procedures, please.

Didn't you get an order from someone?

Who made you do it?

What were you guilty about, to stop it from broadcasting?

You even had an interview!

Stop from broadcasting?

Who?

You know who.

I don't get what you mean.

You came all the way here to say that?

Take care.

Hold on, listen to me...

You're definitely a sexual assaulter.

No, I mean...

You know that BIS ratio report,

a base for the sale of Daehan Bank?

It was PARK Soo-kyung who sent that report via fax.

They don't know the truth.

It was a murder, not a suicide.

A murder?

Then, why fake her death,

as a result of sexual assault by a prosecutor?

The prosecutor sexually assaulted the female suspect,

which led her to kill herself from humiliation.

What can be more scandalous?

All channels are talking about it,

thanks to this, it's completely covered up.

That's why they stopped 'Reporter Note,' too.

So, it's a homicide case.

One person died for no reason,

and I was framed for her death.

Please help me out.

What can I do to help you?

And are we that close to help each other?

We can get closer.

I don't really want to.

You're cold blooded, aren't you?

- Had a good flight? - Yeah.

What made you come pick me up?

I'll drive him home.

Good, you follow us.

I saw the news.

You looked awesome, giving a speech

to those dominant figures of the world economy.

Did I?

More than ten ex-presidents came, including Bush and Clinton.

The phrase you added for the transcript,

'Free trade with a human face,'

it received such huge attention.

- Really? - You made my day.

There must be a reason for you to come get me.

You know 'Reporter Note' covered Star Fund?

I heard it was canceled.

Did you force them?

No way, dear. Why would I?

Public broadcaster shouldn't mislead the people.

If Star Fund becomes the talk of the nation,

what good is that to national economy?

I need to watch that canceled episode.

There'll be nothing special.

They're just making a fuss with no idea

on how it really works.

Still, I will need to check the footage.

Why are you here...

You finish by tomorrow and report to me.

I will.

Get in.

Do you even know whom you visited today?

He's the Senior Deputy of FSS.

A prosecutor of banks, who can blow up

an entire bank just in a flash!

Sir, but I need to be cleared for what I didn't do.

It's killing me.

So, you've been cleared?

I'll find out the truth.

Why did you visit the broadcaster then?

There was something that I needed to check.

I'm sure PARK has been murdered, in every way.

- Got a hard evidence? - No, not yet but...

You son of a bitch!

Can't you see what's going on, idiot?

You have any idea how strong our subjects are?

Even we approach them carefully

with precise direction and procedures.

Who the hell are you to recklessly dig up!

You know how desperate I was to go there!

Hello? Yes, sir.

Yes, I'll report soon.

Understood, sir.

We'll clear your name, so wash your hands of it.

Get out!

- Can't wash my hands, sir! - You prick! Hey!

- Daddy! - Wake up!

Hunger Strike D+43

- Thanks in advance. - Thank you.

- Please take care! - Yes, sir!

Gosh... don't you need to follow them?

Mr. Chief will take care of him.

He's crossed the critical line. We forced him to stop.

A relay strike from today! Fuck, I'll be the first.

You really need to fight with your lives like this?

Seems irrelevant to you, huh?

Anyone might think so.

That's why those MOFIAs can play with trillions of national budget.

You know that Star Fund took over Daehan Bank in 2003?

And failed to sell it in 2008.

And now in 2011, they're in a hurry again to sell it.

Can't you see any common point?

Lame duck and presidential election season?

Power-shift, they're driving it every time the government gets weak.

Sons of bitches!

Look at this! Look how awful they are.

Inviting me to their little party!

What's this? CK...?

Is it held by CK Law Firm?

What law firm? Merely a bunch of lobbyist.

How come you're invited? What about me?

They want to intimidate me, showing off their league.

They're so skilled at buying people off.

Don't you know?

The ex-prosecutors who covered Star Fund at the SPO,

they've been bought off altogether by CK.

That means you must not attend it!

I'll take it away.

Could I have your name, please?

Seoul Central...

I mean, SEO Kwon-young. Lawyer.

That's my name there.

Could I see your ID?

You're questioning me or what?

Ms. Kim, this way.

Hey there, Ms. Kim!

Hey, Na-ri!

Look, they don't recognize me,

SEO Kwon-young, the famous civil right lawyer?

Pardon?

You should've offered hospitality.

- Let's get in. - Hold on.

No, it's fine.

You aren't that cold blooded after all.

Actually, I wanted to talk to you.

What? Oh, you want to help me out!

- How are you? - Good, how are you?

Good evening.

Hey, how are you?

Let's go.

Having fun so far?

Aren't those men you just greeted,

quite famous ones? Saw them on TV.

That man over there, with silver hair, he's former Prime Minister LEE, right?

Yes, he's an executive advisor of CK.

And next to him, who's sitting at the end,

Lawyer KANG, whose annual income is 100 million?

And the rest of them, sitting right in the center.

They're all big figures. Who are they, over there?

What is it that you really want to know?

Think I met him...

I believe the fella that framed me might be here among them.

The man who's standing across Mr. Kang has

appeared in court hundreds of times,

for Daehan case, when he was Vice Finance Minister.

- Mr. Jeon, Chairman of Nomad Fund. - Nomad Fund...

Across him is Doctor KIM, Senior Secretary of Civil Affairs.

Next to KIM is governor of FSS.

And who's now talking to Mr. Kang is,

Former Minister of Economy and Finance.

- Minister. - Also an advisor of CK.

Thank you. I'll go say hi to them.

Mr. Kang, how do you do?

I'm Prosecutor YANG Min-hyuk, from Seoul Central Office.

- Okay... - My honor, please take care.

How do you do, Mr. Lee?

I'm YANG Min-hyuk, from Seoul Central Prosecutor's.

- Seoul Central Prosecutor's? - Yes.

I got invited. This party's great!

How do you do, sir?

I'm Prosecutor YANG Min-hyuk, from Seoul Central Office.

Seoul Central... Who is it again?

Prosecutor YANG Min-hyuk.

Are you all doing well?

Well, I'd like to greet you all at this party.

- Nice to meet you. - Thank you.

Find out more about that guy.

Feel like we've met before at a wedding...

Am I right? Yeah.

Excuse me, can I ask what brought you here?

Well, I came on behalf of Lawyer SEO Kwon-young.

- Didn't hear anything like that. - Just a sec...

Mother: Come here if you can, chef's not feeling well so he left

So I should leave, okay?

Found the bad guy who framed you?

Now I can start searching him.

I recognize this one guy's voice.

You did illegal wiretaps?

So that's why you're called Bulldozer.

Forget it, now that I'm all done... I'll see you later.

Wait a minute.

It's the canceled TV episode.

Good! That's how you help me!

Nope. You help me.

I help you?

Please take a close look on what the illegal acts here

with your prosecutor's eyes.

Okay.

Then, shall we go?

To where?

I'll invite you to the best raw fish place in Korea.

Bill, please!

Ma'am, table no. 3 needs a hot egg soup.

Don't mind the no. 3, I'll take care of it myself.

Here we go, thanks for waiting.

- By the way, that chef lady... - Yeah? What?

I mean, that lady keeps staring at me with smile.

Oh, she's my mom.

- Sorry, I didn't know... - Nah, it's fine.

She must have never seen a pretty girl like you.

Lady, stop staring! Never seen a beauty before?

Yeah, you bastard.

How can I not be curious?

Please help yourself.

He's quite beyond control but,

- has a tender heart. - Stop that.

- She knows you're Bulldozer too. - What are you saying.

Look, those fresh alive fish out there?

Most of them come from fish farm.

This is the real natural raw fish, aged in the fridge.

- Help yourself! - Thanks.

Thank you.

So, try this belly first.

Start from fin!

Dip in the soy sauce with wasabi like that.

Try it, I sliced it nicely.

This is what you call real raw fish!

Fantastic, huh? I knew it.

So, I didn't sexually assault her.

Therefore, she has been murdered.

To figure out reason for her death and clear my name,

- even illegal wiretaps are excused? - No, they re not.

But... they are way too strong.

So, only for this case.

Since I'm confident that I'll find a legal evidence,

it's just temporarily excused, I say.

What a convenient impudence.

Then how come you're on the side of

CK Law Firm, that impudent lobbyist group?

I also wanted to be a prosecutor at first.

Article 234, Criminal Procedure Act!

Article 234... It goes like...

When a public official in the course of one's duty

believes that an offense has been committed

he or she shall lodge an accusation.

Obligation of public official. You were into it.

But then, it doesn't make sense, even more.

When studying abroad, I've changed my mind,

by seeing the arrogance of the American elites.

While competing with them,

I wondered what would be really essential to Korea,

a small country living off foreign trades.

The world's best international trade law firm.

That's what I should make!

Wow, that's quite touching how you've changed your mind,

but you'll need huge money to make it.

That's why I gotta work hard.

How did you end up as a prosecutor?

Me?

Gosh, it gets me furious again...

When I was in college, my father had a huge car crash.

Father was victim. He was the victim, my father.

But the police kept accusing him as the assailant.

So I looked into it, and found that

the offender was son of one of the high ranks.

Eventually my father passed away in the prison,

and my mother had such a hard time.

It's fine, just bad old days. Right, very old.

On July 25, 2003,

What happened in a hotel conference room in Sogong-district?

We ve recreated the scene with our collected information.

JEON Sang-woo (stand-in) / Vice Finance Minister Star Fund is industrial capital, so it can't take over the bank.

Bigger problem is even if it's a finance institution

it can't obtain more than 1/3 of bank stocks.

KIM Wook-jong (stand-in) / Head of Governance Policy Bureau, Financial Services Commission

On Section 2, Article 8 of Enforcement Decree of Banking Act,

'Where deemed that there exist such exceptional circumstances

as the reorganization, etc. of insolvent financial institutions,

may possess not less than the scope.'

That is, it may become a major stockholder,

or acquire corporate control.

JEON Sang-woo (stand-in) / Vice Finance Minister 'etc! Reorganization, etc.!'

This is it! That 'exceptional circumstance' in here.

If BIS ratio is low, no problem at all.

Right, this is it!

Found anything?

He's not in here.

Must be one of those that you couldn't record.

Three left like this, KIM Wook-jong, PARK Young-sam, and LEE Tae-kwan.

How would I get their voices?

How... what? You can just call them.

I'll leave it up to you!

Come see that news out there.

- What is it? - Prosecutor General CHOI has been...

- What? - ...Involved in a bank scandal...

Prosecutor General CHOI alleged for bribery Lobbyist KIM Tae-kyu suddenly came back from Australia...

- Where's the remote? - ...investigation on Ewha Bank scandal

has been expedited.

It's totally groundless.

Right before the Star Fund's resale of Daehan Bank...

Jesus, they got our Prosecutor General?

Feels like the big cases would be closed again.

Forgery of private document...

What's that you call terrific?

You're not going to stop the investigation, right?

This is the canceled episode of 'Reporter Note'.

You bastard...

You think we are not doing our job?

- Pardon? - We've already seen it!

Take medication

If you saw it, then... it's all resolved, isn't it?

What do we differ from broadcasters?

We only rely on evidence, not suspicion!

Sir, you need to see this.

It's from audit on FSS by Board of Audit & Inspection

but it's weird.

Star Fund's money has been

deposited in this branch of Daehan one day before the deadline of...

stock payment, but look at these money.

600 million dollar from a paper company of Virgin Island,

their numbers are weird...

This original 'Star Fund 4' has been

divided into five subsidiaries.

Isn't it a result of dividing based on each share?

Our captain's about to be fired.

You know, it's a dirty trick to interrupt our investigation.

Find something to reverse public opinion!

Yes, sir.

- Let me see, dammit... - Hey, YANG!

- Yes. - Come here.

Why do you keep interrupting? Huh?

Why did you go to the CK party?

I... need to clear my name!

If you keep getting in, they'd think we sent you.

Then they'll put up a shield, you fucker!

I told you to wash your hands of it!

I'll be careful, sir.

But I can't wash my hands of it, though.

Hey! Hey! You bastard!

What a...

And sir... Please stop cursing.

Hey!

The day one private equity firm 'Star Fund 4' divided into five,

was the deadline of Daehan Bank stock price payment.

We headed to Virgin Island,

where the five companies are addressed.

All five firms were using the same address.

DEB KOREA, Virgin Island

Excuse me.

What's going on?

DEB Korea 1, Korea 2, 3, 4, 5...

These firms are all here, right?

True, but no one's here right now.

They're all in Dallas, Texas.

We've found the records on these paper companies at registry office.

Stop it there!

Gosh, look at these... Jeez...

Damn, they're all foreigners!

It'll be tough to track them...

All names of the presidents are written here, we can do that.

It's all paper companies, you fool.

They're all figureheads.

Even CIA can't find the real deep pockets.

Really?

- Then... Wait a second. - Yes.

Wait a second...

Who are the presidents of these paper companies?

Hello, Producer YOON?

We've met before.

This is YANG Min-hyuk, from Seoul Central Prosecutor's.

- Yes, and? - Well...

We're watching the canceled episode of 'Reporter Note.'

It shows the register that lists the names of all the presidents of the paper companies...

Is there any way to find the shareholders?

The real deep pockets.

We heard that ICIJ knows, so tried reaching them...

What? I... ICIJ? What's that?

But they won't talk to us, calling us Korean press 'presstitute,' fuck!

You hung up, fuck? This prick hung up...

I can... search it.

ICIJ.

'International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.'

Gosh, that's ridiculous...

Further tracking was impossible.

Yes, Mr. Chief. The hospital, yes...?

What's wrong?

D-17 until deliberation.

- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.

Mr. Producer, he's my junior.

Prosecutor YANG from Seoul Central Office.

Oh...! I hate prosecutors!

I hate producers, too!

You know ICIJ, right?

Heard they don't even talk to Korean press!

Well, I'm contacting them now

to find out the list of Koreans who hid money in tax havens!

That's Producer OH from 'News Explore!'

Tax haven... Please wait, Mr. OH!

- Dammit! - You greedy CK lawyer!

How dare you come here!

Out! Out!

Out! Out!

Please let her offer condolences.

I asked her to come with me.

She and late Mr. BAE are from the same church.

- Mr. Chief! - Mr. Chief...!

This way.

You're so shameless.

How can you come here?

Bro, I think she felt sorry...

The 'Reporter Note'...

Have you found something?

Yes, what's obvious is...

Mom told me to give this back to you.

You keep it until later...

Take it.

My dad died because of you!

What were we talking about?

Right, 'Reporter Note'.

Star Fund conspired with the financial regulators.

It wasn't obvious to your eyes?

You're talking about Sogong Meeting.

You're telling me to believe that recreated scene?

Investors can do lobby to maximize their profit.

Manipulation of BIS ratio report.

That's not a lobby. It is a crime.

You got evidence?

No, but what's obvious is they killed two people,

to cover up that evidence.

If that really turns out to be true,

I should quit this job.

- Sit. - Doctor.

This rumor on BIS manipulation, is that true?

What do you mean all of a sudden?

If that's true

and there was a trade-off between

Star Fund and financial regulators,

both sides must be punished.

It's not for you to say as a trade expert.

You need to decide what's more important to revive our economy.

I need to know the truth at all costs, as legal advisor.

Please be honest with me, Doctor.

There's no such thing.

Here's the result of voiceprint analysis,

but the rest three don't match either.

- Why? - Voices of the thirties, they said.

Meaning they're just agent workers.

What a nasty assholes.

So they don't give orders themselves.

Damn it, totally ridiculous...

I've lost gazillion just like that.

I sent money to Philippines only a few days late,

and exchange rate soared up like hell!

Gosh... Bank shouldn't snatch precious money

of a poor left-alone daddy, right?

How much did you lose, to call it a gazillion?

I exchanged 3 million won to dollars,

and lost 94.645 dollars.

Wait!

94. and then what?

94.645 dollars.

That's more than a hundred thousand won.

94.645 dollars?

Right.

Look at these money.

600 million dollar from a paper company of Virgin Island,

their numbers are weird...

Hello, this is CHOI...

Why?

Jeonju Restaurant?

Got it.

Well, my buddy YANG is gonna

treat us a big meal today!

- Wow! - Let's go!

What should we have at Jeonju place?

Bibimbap for Jeonju!

Have a fancy one, he deserves that.

Then we should have barbeque!

Stock Price Payment Status of Star Fund's Daehan Bank Takeover

Ooh, that was good.

Well! I'm so sorry for having a fat meal by myself.

But!

It's totally worth that huge money I paid.

What's this?

'Stock Price Payment Status?'

Well, if you see here, these numbers are kind of precise.

But take a look at these below.

Kind of complicated, with decimal points.

Which means, only the companies that

put money on the last day have complex numbers.

So...

Seung-chul, you calculate the exchange rate

of these amounts here,

on October 30, 2003.

- Okay? - Okay.

Daily Exchange Rate Data

Korean Won

That's 20 million dollars. Precise.

20 million precise, huh? Okay, then...

Try the next one here. 4,231,55...

5 million! It's precisely 5 million!

So what? What does it all mean?

So if dollars exchanged to won, the number becomes precise!

These won that got out from Korea

have been changed to dollars.

So the owners of these money

are Koreans!

Oh my gosh...

This is what foreign capital to save Korea really was!

What? Wait, wait, wait... So that is...

They got loan or credit for 1 billion dollar,

Korean deep pockets put 600 million dollars,

pure Star Fund capital was only 160 million dollars?

Holy shit!

They took over a 70-billion bank,

with only 160 million dollars?

- These fuckers... - Fucking rats!

Then, those Korean pockets, they conspired with Star Fund.

But...

Their money all got deposited through paper companies.

Damn... how do we find these rats?

You know there's one and only place!

What are you doing, let's get going!

News Explore

No Korean reporter got this data.

By the way,

why would I reveal it first to you,

when it'll be exclusively covered on News Explore tomorrow?

Cause you're not a presstitute, huh?

See? They're all Koreans.

LEE Sang-won...

KANG Jung-soo...

They don't sound familiar.

Who the hell are these people?

DEB Korea 2...

SHIN Yong-chul, CHOI Tae-seok?

Wait, wait...

Inje-gun... Gangwon-do?

What, these pockets that invest 20 million dollars

live in the mountains?

Hello?

You didn't get the fax?

Yeah, coming in now.

Well, that's the payment of Daehan Bank...

Yes.

And if you look into it

these Koreans' money got out, laundered and returned again.

Who's this, at this hour?

Hi, this is the house of CHOI Tae-seok, right?

There's no one by that name.

Damn, he makes me use strength.

- Move aside. - No, no, no...

The younger one gotta do it.

No way, it needs experience or you'll get hurt.

Give it up, bro.

Let finish it up... Phew!

Oh wow, it's too high!

Over here!

YIM... YIM Seung-man! He's YIM Seung-man!

Hello, Mr. YIM! You're busted!

Where is CHOI Tae-seok?

CHOI who...? I don't know him.

You're living with someone you don't know?

It's the same address.

Perhaps he lived here before me?

Here, take a look.

You see, CHOI Tae-seok?

Investor of Daehan Bank, huh?

Yes, I see.

Bingo, that's correct!

Mr. YIM, you're involved in the manipulation of Daehan Bank's BIS!

Wait, you guys!

You don't even have warrant!

What kind of prosecutors are you, bulldozing like this?

Wow... you recognize our Bulldozer, let's go!

Look, I'm a Christian...

Bible... My bible!

You're taking me illegally now!

Can you handle it?

Gosh, just be quiet.

I can't even handle this fella.

What the hell? Isn't he a psycho?

Is he crazy?

Why is that?

Shit...

What's that?

- Isn't it that guy? - Right...

What, is there an accident?

- Goddamn... - No, no. I'll go!

Damn... No time for this.

Excuse me!

What's he doing now...

Hey! Hey you!

Mister!

Jump out!

Bro!

Hey!!!

Hey! Hey!!! Come here!!!

Hey! Hey!

You okay?

Call... Call 911! Quick!

Bro!

Bro!

You okay?!

Hold on!

Doctor LEE.

This was what you called foreign capital?

Koreans invested in Daehan Bank.

Doctor! You knew it, didn't you?

Where did you get it?

Please be honest with me.

It's not that simple as it seems.

You need to look further into the future.

There shouldn't be a rift between Korea and the U.S.

That doesn't explain it.

Let's discuss it later on.

We'll all get together soon.

I don't remember.

Look!

You still don't get the picture?

This was a murder attempt to kill you.

We almost got brutally killed too!

You're not in a position to protect your damn bosses!

Don't you really see that? Really?

Huh?

A prosecutor came today. Seems like he marked me.

I am a bit nervous.

No worries, we are always keeping our eyes on you.

Who is he?

I don't know.

Here, look at this. Look!

Where is YANG?

These investors of Daehan, you know them all, right?

Look!!

Bulldozer~

Bulldozer!

You've got nerves,

to snatch the reference of the SPO.

Hey, CHOI...

- Come out, please! - What are you doing! Let go!

Let go of me, fucker! Let go!

I almost got killed bringing him in.

He's my reference too, bastard!

You've brought him in illegally!

Boss told me,

to bring you too!

Screw you.

What?! Why are you taking him?

- We're investigating...! - What, out of the way!

Let them go.

Move out!

CHOI Tae-seok, the ex-owner of the villa...

He left Korea today.

CHOI!

Ban him from departing the country first!

That's so basic, idiot.

Mr. Yang, this CHOI Tae-seok...

He used to be a sergeant but got 3 violent crime records,

and has no proper job.

Then it means actual investors are out there,

while CHOI is only a borrowed name.

Well then... Let's see.

The rest of the list, SHIN, LEE and KANG.

Check their identities and figure out their whereabouts!

Okay, I will.

No Caller ID

DO-75 until deliberation.

- So I heard you can drink. - Yes, kind of.

Only two bottles of this got imported this time.

It's worth 300 thousand dollars, tastes pretty good.

Never knew I'd drink this second bottle with you.

Do you know the story of summer bug?

Pardon?

How would an ephemeral summer bug know winter?

I don't want to know.

That was enough, and now come out to a bigger world.

Let's start from 2 million dollars.

Excuse me?

I mean your salary.

Here you go, drink it up and

take a load off your mind.

Joining us means you can restart with a clean slate.

You know,

we've got the power to clear your name.

I...

Sir.

It's a call from VIP.

Tell him I'll call later.

He said it's urgent.

Well, excuse me.

Oh, your choice may prevent your senior lawyer,

SEO Kwon-young, from getting arrested.

Arrested?

You didn't know? See it yourself.

And take that bottle with you and enjoy.

Yes, this is KANG.

That's a fine liquor, told you we should order something.

You really have to drink with this!

So what're they saying?

I borrowed that money, so didn't file a tax return.

Totally accused of tax evasion.

So... they're calling the money that

he simply lent you incentive?

Assholes...

Tax invasion by a labor rights lawyer!

Damn... Fucking embarrassed.

Yeah, that's how I got fucked too!

You know what KANG told me?

To quit my job and work for him.

Then he'll get me cleared of sexual assault allegation,

and stop you from getting arrested...

And give me 2 million, fuck.

- Son of a bitch! - Fuck...

Dammit...

Argh, what's this...

Damn... I came here...

Bro, did I make any mistake last night?

Well... trying to make a patient drink?

Gosh... My head...

You were just totally wasted and happy,

nagging at the nurse to fetch you a paper

and wrote this.

What' s this...

Letter of Resignation

I thought you were also giving it up,

but I was wrong.

You said, you'll prove your innocence...

and that of Mr. Seo as well...

And what was that...?

Take care of me for the rest of my life?

It's your choice to join CK Law Firm,

but don't take care of my life.

That's what Korean prosecutors always do.

Who wouldn't?

SEO Kwon-young: Do as you wish, CK or whatever. On my way to prosecutors because I’m innocent.

By the way,

no one matches the list.

What's unusual about this paper is that

there's nobody else but him.

Really?

CHOI Man-sik, father of Tae-seok.

CHOI Mi-ja

Hello, is this the house of PARK Woo-chul?

Intellectually disabled

Well...

You'll never figure it out, only with the names on the list.

CHOI Mi-ja

Ma'am, you ve never heard about it?

KIM Hak-seon: Nursing home

- You're KIM In-cheol? - Yes.

Please have a seal.

In jail

Borrowed name for JEON Sang-woo

Is that so?

CHOI Mi-ja, Spouse LEE Kwang-joo

Resident Registration No.

D-3 until deliberation.

Is that really true?

There's even more!

CHOI Tae-seok, the ex-owner of YIM's villa,

his aunt is CHOI Mi-ja.

She is the wife of the former Prime Minister, LEE Kwang-joo.

That means, LEE is the actual owner of that villa.

Sir, this is jackpot.

He borrowed the name of CHOI,

to directly invest in Daehan Bank.

Manipulation of BIS

must be a work of LEE as well.

What?

Prosecutor General CHOI, who had strongly denied bribery allegation,

suddenly announced his resignation.

Prosecution Service, criticized for not finding out the truth...

about Ewah Savings Bank, which is involved in a 7-billion dollar worth irregularity...

It's over...

It's not over yet!

We've got all the evidence here!

Prosecutor General's Room.

Sir, don't give them time to destroy evidence.

We can't reach him now.

Where is LEE now?

At his home, having a luncheon meeting.

Get him!

Arrest him first, it's ex-post facto!

Yes, sir!

Acquiring a control premium with certainty,

that's far more important than anything else.

Sure.

For the premium, we estimate the total amount to be at...

4.6 trillion won including 2.5 trillion.

We just need to wait

for the ruling from the Financial Services Commission.

Since the Korean government is undecided about the sale,

we're now preparing to file an ISD against your government.

Should we get into a legal dispute,

the Korean government will have to compensate us

for our losses as a result of your delay!

Don't you know...

how much resistance we're getting from the National Assembly,

Judiciary, the media and civic groups?

If we force it, it could backfire.

Let us take care of it in our way,

so just wait.

We'll trust you and wait.

This ISD matter is not our priority now,

so we can discuss that later.

Speak soon.

American guys speak tender words,

but have their clubs hidden behind.

They always do.

Well, let's move.

Yes, I just got here.

You know CHOI Tae-seok,

from the investors list that I sent you?

That was a borrowed name.

The actual pocket was

Former Prime Minister LEE!

So,

JEON, KIM and so on from LEE's league,

they're the actual investors.

I'm concerned that I'd be on a hearing!

Media stimulates the National Assembly, too.

Don't be scared, economy has no sides.

We've been leading the economy, and will continue to do so.

No matter which party takes over, Korean economy is led by us.

Sit.

Let's approve the sale in the Commission.

- Doctor LEE. - Na-ri, you made it on time.

Have a seat.

Your money is included in the bank's takeover payment.

Was that the reason for trying to sell it quickly?

Well... Na-ri...

I stopped the drain of national wealth.

We can't let Americans get all the money.

Why didn't you tell me from the first place?

You think you would have let me if I did? Yeah?

Let us eat and talk.

I will quit.

You're jumping off from a moving train?

I'm attorney at law, not at crime.

What I mean is... one of the commissioners has resigned.

You can replace that position,

as a qualified expert of international trade law.

Ms. Kim is now selected as financial commissioner.

We should do the right thing, shouldn't we?

Congratulations.

You'll have to get a lawyer from now on.

What's going on?

I'm Prosecutor CHOI, from SPO.

Mr. Lee.

We're taking you,

on charges of falsifying public documents,

violation of Foreign Exchange Transaction Act,

and commercial bribery under Act on Specific Economic Crimes.

Let me see the warrant first!

We are arresting him without a warrant, as they are feared to flee or destroy evidence.

You savages!

Arresting on the same charges, take them all!

Wait, wait...

Na-ri, I trust you.

You go talk to your father.

Hurry up.

What did he say?

He told me to join the Financial Services Commission.

Financial...

That's good! You go there,

and make a ruling of punitive sale order!

Who are you calling?

Senior Secretary of Civil Affairs.

What are you doing?

Taking it away for impeding investigation.

- That's why you're slandered. - Right.

Long time no see, Mr. Kim.

I'll interrogate him myself.

Take the cuffs off.

Give me back my cell phone.

Don't try solicitation.

I should question him! Hey!

You looked down on us prosecutors,

even making our chief prosecutor resign.

Mr. Kim.

Well, we can't handle this.

How come it could have come this far,

while the government has changed three times.

I was wondering about it, too.

Why did Bush senior and junior took turns to visit Korea that often?

President Bush even made the sale issue

as an agenda of ROK-US Summit in 2008.

Then Secretary of State from Bush Administration

is now president of the law firm that legally advises Star Fund.

You know very well.

Can you really...

handle it yourself?

I don't think I can handle it.

So... I have something to suggest.

Make me the next Prosecutor General.

I'll be a good one.

Finalize the Star Fund case as Steve Jung's tax evasion,

and cancel the rest.

Yes.

Including the departure prohibition order.

- I will. - Okay.

D-1 until deliberation.

Good to sit with you like this after a long time.

As a young girl, I liked to see you and mom

sitting here together, talking to each other.

Feels like only yesterday.

Dad, what does it really mean, what Doctor LEE told me?

It'll be good for you to be a commissioner.

It would've been dealt with already,

if those commissioners had strong convictions.

No, he told me as if there was a specific reason.

You've seen it ever since you were young.

He's like a family to you and me.

That's how we live in this financial capitalism era.

Just accept it.

It's not something you can change on your own.

Yes, I'll finish what I've been doing,

as I think it should be.

Sweety...

Anyway, I've copied all of them!

All the documents are there.

Paper companies, shareholders and borrowed names,

BIS ratio manipulation,

connections between regulators, all of them!

Such useful information.

This can silence all the commissioners.

Punitive order would be possible, for sure.

Can you do it well?

What?

Gosh... what a disobedient daughter.

Let's make a toast.

Anyway, Daehan's union and joint committee.

All of them will be there!

We are going to support you in front of the building!

July 28, 2011, D-day of deliberation.

Order a punitive sale!

The public is keenly interested whether

Financial Services Commission is ruling a punitive sale

on Star Fund's stock of Daehan Bank.

If a punitive sale is ordered, Star Fund should

give up 2.5 billion dollar worth of premium.

Let go of me!

You're closing the case?

Why!

We can't do that.

It's none of your concern anymore.

And you are on stand-by from now on.

- What? - Illegal wiretaps, insubordination...

A criminal penalty this time, not a punishment.

Sir, this is... Sir?

Sir!

I'll have a press conference.

What?

I should go now... Hey!

Let's go.

Resist a non-punitive sale!

Resist! Resist!

Save our taxes!

Save! Save!

Order a punitive sale!

Order! Order!

Now we're going to search this room!

Everyone, up and get out!

Why the hell should we get out!

Talk polite!

Can't you see? Get out!

'Bag.'

Look closely.

Where is it?

'Bag.'

- 'Bag! - 'Oh bag.'

Hey! Not there!

CHOI, let go of me...

Let go, bastard!

Star Fund has only

invested 160 million in Daehan Bank!

Now, they've made billions of profit

and are trying to run away with non-punitive sale!

We should stop them at any costs!

Breaking news from abroad.

Occupy the Wall Street!

Now the whole world are gathered in New York,

to fight against barbaric financial capitalism!

Right before the meeting of Commission,

a thousand unions insisting punitive sale,

and multiple riot police squads as a precaution...

are facing each other.

Resist a non-punitive sale!

Resist! Resist!

Save our taxes! Order a punitive sale!

Father

Let's start the meeting.

On July 28, 2011, we start a deliberation on

the sale of Star Fund's stocks of Daehan Bank.

If we order a punitive sale due to the pressure

from those protestors,

there will be a serious problem with national credit.

What would happen to our economy then?

Na-ri...

Actually half of Doctor LEE's money was ours.

We'll get 200 million more with a non-punitive sale.

With that, you can make your own law firm, larger than CK.

I hope you'll make a good decision.

We've found the evidence of illegal wiretap on YIM.

Now we'll start a discussion on the sale...

There must be a document on the bank takeover, too.

- Find that one! - Yes, sir.

Commissioners are entering the meeting venue.

- Professor KIM? - Yes.

The civic group's claim for punitive sale...

- Where did you hide it? - Silence!

Where is it!

The fact that they illegally bought the bank...

Suppose we've decided a punitive order.

What would happen?

We'll lose all foreign investors, and domestic stock market will crash.

Our economy will weaken,

IMF crisis can occur again.

As you all regard non-punitive sale as appropriate,

we'll hear the opinion of Commissioner KIM,

who has reviewed it, at the international trade law level.

Commissioner KIM?

Commissioner KIM?

I wonder if our government could handle it.

- I can't find that one. - A breaking news came in.

- The Commission just made an... - It's nowhere.

unanimous decision on Star Fund's stock,

Commission's unanimous decision as non-punitive sale as a non-punitive sale order.

Official announcement and press conference will follow.

I'll repeat the breaking news again.

- Dammit! - Why?

Commission's unanimous decision as non-punitive sale as a non-punitive sale order.

Hey! Get him!

I'm coming now!

B... b... bag!

Move out!

Based on her legal review, Commissioner KIM

will announce our decision.

- Sit down! - People in front sit down.

I'm departing now, sir. Please take care.

Cheers!

Hi, Mr. Palmer. What did I say?

It's all gonna be okay.

Okay!

KIM Na-ri

Close the window.

Why isn't she answering?

The power is off...

What! Why! Take it!

The alleged problem on takeover process

could not be confirmed, and no illegal acts

by Star Fund have been found in its sale of the bank.

Star Fund tries to request a 5-billion dollar compensation

to Korean government for the delay in sale.

This decision has been made to stop drain of national wealth,

by minimizing the risk of potential lawsuit.

Right after the announcement, the protest is getting serious

in front of the Commission building.

As decided to take complete control past the cordon,

the police ordered additional riot units to be deployed.

A moment, this way please.

Hey! You! KIM Na-ri!

Hey!

My fellow unions! Our fight hasn't

finished yet!

We can still win!

Hey! You!

Hey!!

The purchase and resale has been done in collusion...

and illegally!

They have

caused massive losses to us with illegal acts.

You've got evidence for

illegal acts?

As the prosecution closed the case,

unfortunately...

I've got the evidence!

I've got the evidence here!

- Excuse me. - Excuse me, sorry.

Prosecutor YANG from Seoul Central Office.

Please make way.

If you don't, I'll regard it as obstruction of justice.

Let him pass!

Microphone, please.

Prosecutor YANG Min-hyuk from Seoul Central Office.

All the evidence are here.

All of the evidence, here!

I've been reported as a sexual assaulter a while ago.

You remember?

So, I couldn't give up on this investigation,

at least in order to clear my name and

find out the truth about death of PARK Soo-kyung.

While tracking, I've come to encounter a huge crime,

that ex and current officials conspired with Star Fund,

and set paper companies at the tax haven,

to invest over millions of dollars to Daehan,

with assumed names.

I got forced to stop the investigation

even with the solid evidence to prove that.

Prosecutors neglected their duty and assisted the crime.

That is, they threw aside their basic obligations

as public officials, which is stated in

the Criminal Procedure Act!

Who ordered to close the case?

An executive of the Supreme Office himself.

Investigative authorities, who are supposed to

reveal the crime, are covering it up, instead.

Who's the executive?

Senior Prosecutor KIM, head of Central Investigation Headquarter.

He directly ordered to stop the investigation.

You're being a whistleblower, Mr. Prosecutor?

Who's Prosecutor?

He's not Prosecutor any longer,

but an offender.

On charges of illegal wiretap and haul,

theft of documents, violence, and publication of suspected crime,

and so on!

I am arresting you without warrant, bastard!

Arrest!

Come down here!

Dad...

Section 1, Article 234 of The Criminal Procedure Act!

Any person who believes that an offense has been committed

may lodge an accusation!

I, as a citizen of Republic of Korea,

accuse that political prosecutor of trying to cover the case!

And those financial elites officials in Korea,

who cheaply sold Daehan for their profit,

such as ex-Prime Minister LEE, Senior Secretary LIM of Civil Affairs,

ex-Governor KIM of Financial Supervisory...

I accuse those MOFIAs before the people!

I accuse them!

I accuse them!

In 2012, Star Fund sold Daehan Bank and left Korea.

They filed a 5 billion dollar worth of 'Investor-State Dispute (ISD)' against the Korean government, for delay in the sale.

Currently waiting for a final ruling, and if our government loses,

compensation must be paid in national taxes.

No one has ever been arrested until now in regard to this case.
