THIS DRAMA IS A WORK OF FICTION. ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES,

ORGANIZATIONS, RELIGIONS, AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

SEOUL POLICE AGENCY

Lieutenant Jo Tae-sik.

Why did you dig into a case from the past

without even receiving any approval from your superiors?

I thought the case was relevant to the case we're currently investigating.

How is it relevant?

How does the disappearance of JQ Group’s heir

have anything to do

with the suicide of a reporter?

I’d really like to know what made you carry out

such a reckless investigation.

Who made that judgment?

It's not like one person made that judgment on his or her own.

We all investigated the case together. It wasn't just one person.

Fine, let's just say I did it.

As I was investigating the case on Jeong Sang-hun,

I found out that his eye went to the newspaper agency.

And you're telling me that among all those employees,

you just happened to investigate Choe Su-hyeon?

Do you think that makes sense?

Why doesn't it make sense?

As we were going through Jeong Sang-hun's case,

we figured it had something to do with Choe Su-hyeon's case.

- That's why Tae-sik... - That means he gave you

the orders.

- What? - You secretly

carried out an autopsy by forging the captain's approval

because Lieutenant Jo asked you to. Am I correct?

Why do you keep concluding it like that?

You're really making me feel flustered.

You know what? I get that you're trying to protect him.

But you need to tell me the truth.

Why can't you give me an answer?

Let me ask you one more time.

Do you admit that you illegally logged in with Detective Yu's user ID

and forged an official document?

Do you admit it or not?

Yes, I admit it.

You don't seem like you mean that.

I have to say, you must feel really upset about all this.

I heard you got transferred to this team against your will.

Look at what you're going through because of your superior.

He completely ruined your career.

But,

there is a way out of this.

You're pretty close

with Lieutenant Jo, right?

You worked together for quite a while.

Yes.

My gosh, it says here that you worked with him for ten years.

Is that a problem?

I'm not sure.

That depends on

what you decide to tell me.

Captain Yu.

You were totally unaware of what your teammates were doing

behind your back, right?

Yes, that's correct. Captain Yu knew nothing about this.

Jin-gyeong and Ho-gyu were also just following my orders.

They had no say or control over what they were doing.

Well,

that's what we already thought.

Lieutenant Jo, you know this is a serious issue, right?

Forging an official document is a criminal case.

The disciplinary committee will take this very seriously.

BOTTOMLESS PIT

INTERROGATION ROOM

KIM SEO-HUI

She called me so many times.

Why aren't you answering your phone?

I'll be on my way. See you at the police station.

I have something to tell you.

I guess she would've come and left.

KIM SEO-HUI

Hey, where are you?

What?

What happened?

- It's not a big deal. - What are you talking about?

I heard your car got destroyed.

Did you see the vehicle or the driver?

No.

What's wrong?

Are you looking for something?

Where did it go?

I'm sure I put it here.

What is it?

Seo-hui.

The flash drive.

What?

Didn't I tell you

not to hurt Seo-hui?

I went to the library and found the book that Choe Su-hyeon had hidden.

I took it home and opened it

and found a flash drive inside.

It seemed like she hid it there so no one could find it.

List?

So I opened the file.

"Gu Jin-ju..."

- But my laptop suddenly froze. - What? What's going on?

I got really scared and wanted to see you.

So I took the flash drive and came out of my house.

And on my way to see you, I got into an accident.

I don't think the accident happened by coincidence.

The laptop suddenly froze, and I suddenly got into an accident.

None of that feels like a coincidence.

I think the culprit wanted to take the flash drive

after having found out that I had it.

What was in the flash drive?

I barely got to see the first page.

GO YEON-U, GU JIN-JU, GI HAN-YEONG, KIM YUN-JU

It looked like a list for something.

"A list"?

Choe Su-hyeon had left a copy of the file inside this flash drive.

Do you still think I shouldn't have done anything?

How are you going to deal with this?

I know you're very competent.

But we shouldn't let our guard down.

It seems like you're going easy on her because she's your friend.

But that might get you in trouble.

You should've just finished her.

Why did you spare her life?

It's because you know that we still need Seo-hui.

Isn't that why you didn't hurt her enough

to kill her?

IN DONG-GU

Mr. In.

From now on,

don't you dare

make a move without my consent.

You don't want to cause trouble before the bill gets passed.

I'm not as patient as the chairman.

It looked like a list of names.

There were people's names and addresses.

The file was named "List," but it didn't say what kind of list.

"Go..."

Okay, that's enough.

You should get some rest. You might remember it out of the blue.

Oh, I almost forgot.

I'll have someone investigate the hit-and-run case.

Who?

Why aren't you going to investigate it?

I should look into it as well.

Get some rest.

I, Lieutenant Jo Tae-sik, am here

to receive my penalty from the disciplinary committee.

We will now begin the meeting regarding Lieutenant Jo Tae-sik

who is suspected of having forged an official document.

Lieutenant Jo Tae-sik.

Do you admit that you've forcefully proceeded with investigating a case

without having reported it to your superiors?

Yes, I do.

You've neglected the hierarchical system of the police force

and forged an official document.

That is a violation of Article 227 of the Criminal Law

which could put you in jail for a maximum of seven years.

Therefore, the disciplinary committee has decided to demote you

and give you a suspension of six months.

Director In stepped up and did what he had to do.

He did the right thing by getting rid of Jo Tae-sik.

But he still shouldn't

have hurt Seo-hui.

Sir. I'm worried how Director In keeps crossing the line.

It will end up backfiring on us for sure.

He does tend to cross the line at times.

That also worries me.

But,

it's not like Seo-hui died.

I care about her

like my own child.

And we also need her

for next year's general election.

Dae-yong.

You fool.

I'm sorry.

You know what I mean, right?

Here's our next news.

Today, the police announced that they'll be

replacing the team that was in charge of investigating the disappearance

of JQ’s CEO, Jeong Sang-hun, with a whole new team.

According to an insider, they say it was an inevitable choice

due to the reckless investigation method carried out by the person

- They're replacing the team? - who was initially in charge

and that it won’t cause any troubles regarding the investigation.

JEONG SANG-HUN'S DISAPPEARANCE

JEONG SANG-HUN'S DISAPPEARANCE

How am I going to find you now?

PLEASE TURN OFF THE LIGHTS

I guess this is really the end.

I kind of liked this place.

I guess this is our last meal in Songju.

I was really annoyed when I first got dispatched to Songju.

I had no idea how I was going to live in the countryside.

What? You loved it here. It was as if this was your hometown.

Now that I got used to this place, I'm being sent back.

They really do everything as they please.

To be really honest,

I'm a little disappointed in Captain Yu.

They totally got rid of our team,

but he just stood there and watched.

He has no power to stop this.

I shouldn't have overreacted.

I was too reckless and blinded by passion.

Where are you guys going?

I got demoted and got dispatched

to a precinct station.

But he got dispatched to the Information Division.

The Information Division?

WRITTEN STATEMENT

If you sign this

written statement,

I'll report to the superiors that you had nothing to do

with this case.

WRITTEN STATEMENT

You don't want to end your career as a corporal, do you?

IN MAY 3, 2019, I RECEIVED ORDERS FROM LIEUTENANT JO TAE-SIK...

JEON HO-GYU

JEON HO-GYU

That's great. You always wanted to go there.

They're probably taking him because they know he's smart.

I know, right? He's such a bright kid.

Anyway, thanks for working so hard.

Cheers.

Once you get dispatched, don't do anything that requires too much work.

Keep a low profile,

and slack around from time to time just like all the others.

You're the one who shouldn't try so hard.

Stop taking care of everyone else.

What's with you?

Why do you have to be so pessimistic?

Hey, this isn't the end for us.

We'll get to investigate the case again, and drink together just like this.

Right? We need to get back together and investigate the case again.

We can't let everything go to waste.

You told me you're suspicious of Assemblywoman Kim's accident.

If we just give up like this,

it'll make us feel really uncomfortable.

Anyway,

we'll forever be a team.

So call us whenever if you need any help.

PATIENT: KIM SEO-HUI

Come in.

They let you leave already?

No, I told them that I want to leave.

It seems like everyone's packing today.

- Seo-hui... - I'm sorry.

About what?

I saw the news and heard that you got suspended.

Oh, you heard about that?

My gosh, that wasn't even a newsworthy topic.

Gosh, it's okay.

That kind of stuff happens often when you investigate a case.

Plus, I was always at the police station, so I never really had enough time.

Now, I'll be able to focus on the investigation.

You're going to keep investigating?

Why wouldn't I?

Well, I mean...

Do you think I'm useless now that I don't have my police badge?

Like I said, I want to do it properly

this time.

Is this all?

It's okay. I'll carry it.

Get some rest while you can. That will help you recover.

- Did you eat breakfast? - I'm okay.

I heard there's a problem

with the Judiciary Committee.

They couldn't reach an agreement.

The opposition party is trying to draw things out.

I think they're trying to pass it onto the subcommittee

and stop the bill from being discussed

at the general meeting.

Mr. Hong is going to meet the delegate of the opposition party today.

I'll let you know about the results.

SONGJU

One thing I know is that all the addresses were in Songju.

SONGJU, GANGWON PROVINCE

"Gongwon-ri."

GONGWON-RI

GO HYEONG-U

GO HYEONG-U, GO YEON-U

"Go Hyeong..."

GU JIN-JU

"Gu..."

"Gu Jin-ju"?

- You jerk! - Stop it.

- Who do you think you are? - Will you please stop?

- How dare you? - Who do you think you are?

Get out of my face!

My gosh.

This is Seo-hui's laptop.

Find out if this can be restored.

I don't expect much from you, but I might be wrong.

Of all the things, why did it have to be the one thing I'm really bad at?

Damn it.

Who do you think you are?

JEON HO-GYU

Let's not bother him.

Corporal Kang!

Yes, sir?

- Calm down. - Did you ask for me?

- Isn't that why you're here? - Yes, sir!

If you're done with your break,

I want you to control the traffic in the other neighborhood

because they're currently having their roads repaired.

- Right now, sir? - Yes, right now!

- Yes, sir! - My gosh, you're so slow.

I wonder what goes on in your mind.

I'll be off now, sir!

JEONG SANG-HUN

THE INVESTIGATION TEAM HAS BEEN CHANGED

I wonder how things are going.

These files are from Information Division 2 and 3.

I want you to organize them by today. This won't take long, right?

- I have to organize all this? - Why do you look so surprised?

This is easier than doing fieldwork.

You'll soon get the hang of it.

But...

Who?

Kim Seo-hui's accident?

Why are you calling us to ask about a security camera defect?

You should be calling the Digital Analysis Division.

Shouldn't you know that by now?

SONGJU POLICE STATION

"The security camera footage in the vicinity has been checked,

but nothing was recorded due to the mechanical defect."

NOTHING WAS RECORDED DUE TO THE MECHANICAL DEFECT

INVESTIGATION PROGRESS

What are we having for lunch?

Tae-sik...

Let's just go to the cafeteria.

No. You go ahead and eat.

Okay. Let's go.

- Make sure to have lunch. - Okay.

Darn it. Those jerks won't leave.

Who is he?

I guess he's a gasman.

I'm here to check the gas appliances.

Hey.

Who is this?

- I'm here to check the gas appliances. - Okay.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Excuse me. - Please come in.

Do you have any problems using it?

No.

Where's the boiler room?

This way.

It's important to ventilate

- the boiler room. - I see.

It's quite dusty outside.

Would you like something to drink?

Yes, please.

Wait a moment.

Are we working all night again?

Who is he? Isn't he the gasman?

Hey, that's not what he was wearing.

Darn it!

Jo Tae-sik. Jo Tae-sik!

Gosh.

What was that? Where did he go?

What is going on?

Who is it?

Please open. I'm a cop.

What is going on?

Please excuse me.

I guess he jumped off here. Go that way.

Okay. Shoot.

What's up with your clothes?

They put a tail on me, so I had to ditch them.

A tail?

I mean, they're from Internal Affairs. Why are they working so hard?

Gosh, there you go again.

Stop wearing that expression.

Here. This is the accident report you asked for.

I had to ask around to get it.

But it had nothing special.

There's no witness or security camera footage.

Is that so?

Did you recall anything in the meantime?

Yes. But...

This is the list I found in the flash drive.

Go Hyeong-u, Gu Jin-ju...

It had names, dates of birth,

addresses and stuff like that.

But I recalled only two names.

And I'm not sure if it's correct.

It says Gongwon-ri, Yeongil-myeon, Songju for both.

So they're both from the same village?

I guess so.

Why do you think Choe Su-hyeon had this list?

We should go and meet them anyway.

Detective Kang.

Detective Kang.

- Ho-gyu. - Come closer.

What are you doing here?

I just had lunch over there.

Jin-gyeong...

I mean, did you eat lunch?

Jin-gyeong? Are we friends now?

No, it's just a mistake.

Hey, you look so much better.

I bet you feel comfortable now.

Not really.

Now that we both stay in Seoul, we run into each other. This is nice.

I know.

What about Detective Jo?

He's still working on it stealthily, but it's not going well.

He doesn't have his badge, and he's got a tail.

That's it. You don't have to worry.

Why not? We were a team.

We were a team, but not anymore.

Why do you even care when you're in a different team?

- Still, I... - Just go. The light changed.

- But... - Go. Keep walking. Hurry.

Just go.

Detective Kang.

If there's anything I can do, tell me.

I'll wait.

Be careful.

Excuse me.

May I ask something?

Do you know a person named

Go Hyeong-u or Gu Jin-ju in the neighborhood?

I don't know.

- You don't? - No.

- Okay. Thank you. - Sure.

Hello. May I ask you something?

Hello, ma'am. May I ask you something?

Have you heard of the name

- Go Hyeong-u and Gu Jin-ju? - I know the name.

He lives next door.

- Hey. - Yes?

Where do you live?

Over there.

Can you take us to your place?

Over there.

- Is this it? - Yes.

Okay. Thank you. Go and play now.

Bye.

- Excuse me. - No one's in the house now.

I see. Do you know where they are?

Jin-ju's family is in the village hall now.

I see. Where is the village hall?

It's over there.

- Okay. Thank you. - You're welcome.

[Netflix Ver] OCN E10 'The Lies Within' Bottomless Pit" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

What's the biggest problem?

The articles about the taxation and national land.

We can discuss it as much as we please,

but the problem is that we don't have time.

If the Judiciary Committee doesn't pass the bill this week,

there's no way we can bring it up at the general meeting next month.

Then we'll fail in the general and presidential elections...

Concede it.

- Pardon? - Go ahead and concede it.

- Yes, sir. - Concede the articles

about tax support and program management support.

Then JQ will suffer a loss of about 40 billion won.

All we need

is the article about the purchase of national land.

Yes, sir. I'll make sure to defend it.

The land

must be ours.

Yes, sir.

All right.

I didn't want to be there anyway.

I wanted to work in the Information Division.

That filthy and damp motel room, gosh.

There's no place like home. It's clean.

TEXT MESSAGE

CHAUFFEUR SERVICE

Darn.

I can't believe this.

Now that we're not a team, they don't even call me.

They are so heartless.

Gosh.

Who would it be at this hour?

Who is it?

The door is open.

What are you doing? How... I mean, why are you here?

Hey, why are you pretending not to know?

Earlier today, you said, "Jin-gyeong."

If there's anything I can do, tell me.

"If you need my help, make sure to call me."

I'll wait.

"I'll wait."

- You said that, didn't you? - I didn't sound so frivolous.

So is this your place?

Gosh, it looks pretty good.

Your shoes... Take off your socks. Your socks.

- Gosh, look at the sofa. - Darn it.

Gosh.

- Cool. - You're so uncultured.

- Take off your socks. - Take them off?

- Okay. Happy now? - Wait.

- Don't put them... - Here. I took them off.

Get down before I call the police.

You said you'd wait.

I didn't mean tonight.

You should try spending a whole day directing traffic.

I'm so tired.

This is comfortable.

Where did you get this sofa?

- It's so nice. - Just get down here.

It's done.

Thank you so much.

- Well done. - Your kid.

It must've been hard.

Hello, ma'am. Is this girl Gu Jin-ju by any chance?

She's my granddaughter.

- Who are you? - May I ask you something?

Do you know this woman?

- Why do you ask? - Do you know her?

She was here asking questions the other day.

So I kicked her out. Let's go, Jin-ju.

- Wait. - Ma'am, but...

It's her.

You're Assemblyman Kim's daughter.

- That's right. - Hello.

What are you doing here?

I was just wondering if everything was okay.

You look just like your father.

May I ask you something?

Have you seen this woman in this neighborhood before?

She does seem familiar.

- Oh, right. - Did you see her?

She's the one who kept visiting

Mr. Go's house a few months ago.

Oh, that's right. I remember. It's her.

Mr. Go?

Are you talking about Go Hyeong-u?

- Go Hyeong-u? - Well...

It's not Go Hyeong-u.

His son's name is Go Yeon-u.

- Right. It's Yeon-u. - He's Yeon-u.

I see. Where is his house?

It's right over there.

What do you think is in the flash drive?

It must be something important.

That's why the whole thing happened.

Why are you being quiet?

Well...

I'm not sure what's in it.

About the accident.

The hit-and-run accident of Assemblywoman Kim.

The security cameras in the vicinity were off at the moment of the accident.

Right at the moment of the accident.

Isn't it strange?

- It's very strange. - I know.

What if someone deliberately deleted the footage?

Someone inside the police.

Are you sure?

Who inside the police?

It's just a guess. I'm just saying it.

What we need now is something we can be sure.

Concrete evidence.

Gosh, is that why you're drinking some alcohol here?

You're not doing things right.

What did you just say?

- Come over here, you punk. - Gosh.

How dare you say such a thing to your senior?

- I'll just... - It hurts.

Darn it.

Hey. I forgot something.

Here.

- What is this? - Assemblywoman Kim's laptop.

I guess it got hacked or something.

I turned it off and on, but it doesn't work.

The hacker should have some sense of honor.

If it gets back on so easily, we can't even call him a hacker.

And you Smarty-pants should have some sense of honor.

A cop from the Information Division.

- Do you want to try? - I knew you'd say that.

Tae-sik told me not to put pressure on you.

But if we find out something,

it will help him get reinstated.

So? You said you wanted to see me.

But this is actually about Tae-sik.

No, it's not like that.

Are you emotionally deprived or what?

I'm not emotionally deprived.

Ho-gyu, I love you a lot.

You rascal.

- Hey. - I knew it.

- Hello. - Who are you?

Are you Go Yeon-u's father?

Yes. Why?

We're here to ask you something.

Do you know this woman?

She's a social worker.

It's been a few months since my son is gone.

But I haven't got rid of his stuff yet.

I just couldn't do it.

What was ailing him?

He had lung cancer.

When he was first diagnosed with it,

I just couldn't believe it.

I don't even smoke.

And he was only nine. How...

Why did Choe Su-hyeon come to see you?

She said she worked at the city hall.

She asked some questions saying she'd help us.

What did she ask?

She asked how long we'd been living here

and when my son had become ill.

This is Sang-hun.

Why is Sang-hun in that photo?

- Sir. - What?

Have you ever tried to recover

a hacked laptop?

Why would you ask such an obvious question? Of course I have.

Well, the laptop was hacked pretty badly.

I can't even turn on the laptop. It's totally fried.

What happened to it?

Bring it.

I can't do that.

It's because of the files on the laptop.

Jeez. I didn't peg you to gather such files.

- Pardon? - First, disassemble

- the laptop. - Hold on.

I'm ready.

First, disassemble the laptop.

Connect the hard drive to a functioning laptop.

Run an anti-virus program.

Run it in each sector.

It's highly likely that it might've been infected through an Internet server.

Make sure to redirect the VPN route first.

When you monitor all the traffic that passes through other servers,

you'll figure out the source.

How do you know my husband?

The social worker visited us alone for the first few times.

And she came with him afterward, saying he's her husband.

Look.

- Do you want to kiss it, Yeon-u? - No.

Actually, I adopted Yeon-u.

So after hearing that,

he tried to help us the best he could.

He switched us to a nice room at the hospital.

And when I was busy,

he looked after my son for me.

I think that was why Yeon-u was fond of him.

And he also

got this puppy for us.

It would have been nicer

if Yeon-u had more time to play with it.

I pronounce Patient Go Yeon-u

dead on February 5, 2019, at 6:30 p.m.

Yeon-u.

SONGJU HOSPITAL

Yeon-u.

Sir,

would it be all right if I kept this photo?

How could he smile so broadly like this?

I thought he hated kids

because he said he didn't want to have kids.

I'll do everything. Hear me out.

I'll feed,

wash, sleep,

and love the baby.

I'll do everything for the baby.

You don't have to lift a finger.

What are you talking about?

Can't we have just one child? Just one, please?

- I mean... - Please.

We can be a family of three, not two.

The baby will have your hair

and your nose. Fine, your eyebrows, too.

Eyes...

Yes, the baby should have the color of my eyes.

The baby can have your nose and chin.

Seo-hui.

I'm just...

I'm not just confident to be a dad yet.

I'll take care of everything.

All you have to do is just stay next to us.

I'm sorry, Seo-hui.

Back then,

I couldn't understand why he didn't want a child.

That was why we drifted apart.

It's so upsetting to see him smile like this in the photo.

I think I can understand him.

This is probably what he felt.

No matter how much Chairman Jeong cherished him,

Chairman Jeong loved him

because Mr. Jeong resembled his late son.

He couldn't even tell his own wife what his real name was

and where he had come from.

It was probably not easy

living someone else's life.

He had no idea where he should put down his roots.

Given his circumstance,

he was probably uncertain about whether

he could become a good dad.

Perhaps, he might have seen himself

in that boy, Yeon-u.

This feels like crap.

Only after losing him,

I can understand how he must have felt. That feels like crap.

You haven't lost him yet.

We must find Mr. Jeong.

When you see him again, tell him

to make up for everything

he put you through for the rest of your life together.

Make sure to tell him that.

After that...

CONNECT THE HARD DRIVE

"Connect the hard drive.

Redirect the VPN route and monitor the traffic in the other servers."

Will this actually work?

What? It worked.

KIM SEO-HUI

Let's see.

The virus code is

"Kebechet".

"Kebechet"?

VIRUS ON CHOE SU-HYEON'S FILE KEBECHET

It's the same virus.

KEBECHET KODE 666

I see. It was done by the same hacker.

Okay, then.

HOW TO REVERSE HACK

"How to reverse hack.

Redirect the VPN route.

Monitor all the traffic

that passes through other servers."

Let's see.

It's me. Someone just hacked into my computer.

I think the hacker is looking for the list Kim Seo-hui saw.

Once I locate the hacker, I'll call you again.

Okay.

I'll stop the car over there.

- Here? - Yes.

People are watching my house.

I'll go home on my own from here.

I'll look into the family we visited today first.

And I'll call you, then.

Okay.

Detective Jo.

Thank you for today.

Drive safely.

List..

GO YEON-U, GU JIN-JU

So he took this list from her?

Let me save it in my backup drive first.

Then I'll print it.

PRINT

Wait, I need paper.

I'm out of paper.

What's going on?

Look at this jerk.

He's hacking me again because I saw this list?

Okay.

So this list is that important?

Why did Choe Su-hyeon go to that village?

She asked how long we'd been living here

and when my son had become ill.

A shamanic ritual?

What were you trying to do, Sang-hun?

I wish someone could just tell me.

JQ SONGJU HOSPITAL

JQ Hospital?

JQ?

GO YEON-U

Hello?

Yes.

That's right.

I just had a question.

Did Yeon-u get treated

at JQ Hospital?

Yes. Yeon-u stayed at that hospital until his last day.

I see. Thank you.

Hey, little one. Hold on.

Hold on.

Assemblywoman Kim.

How's your preparation for the Judiciary Committee coming along?

- Yes. - By the way,

it looks like you're in dire need of passing the bill.

- Pardon? - It's about the bill for the new business.

You're giving up quite a lot for the bill.

But it's a business, after all. It looks like you'll be only losing money.

I don't follow you.

See? I find this intriguing.

Judging from your decisions,

it looks like you're desperately trying to pass the bill.

But seeing how you're not interested in the content,

it makes me wonder if that's what you want.

Your goal is to pass the bill, isn't it?

What are you talking about?

Are you aware that

Mr. Hong met with the representative of my party

yesterday afternoon?

Then, I doubt that you know what they discussed.

He must have thought

that the representative of my party wouldn't pass the bill that easily.

Mr. Hong personally made the trip to negotiate.

I'll tell you what he said.

He said if my party wanted,

he would include anything we wanted whether it was a clause

on taxation or on inspection of the budget. On top of that,

he said that he would concede all the bills proposed by my party

that your party was opposing.

Why?

Why would he do that?

I came to you because I wanted to ask you that.

Here's my guess.

I think it's because of the land.

The land?

Are you talking about the land for the new business?

There's no way

he would make such a demand unless that's what he was going after.

What kind of demand did he make?

He said that he would comply with all of our demands

under one condition.

Clause 15.

He asked to protect the clause on the purchase of national land.

What's so special about the land?

Did you guys bury gold in the land or something?

If not,

why would he practically beg my party's representative to leave that land alone?

RENEWABLE ENERGY COMPLEX

CLAUSE 15: PURCHASE OF LAND

"Clause 15. When proceeding with the new business,

the national land in Songju

will be purchased by the assigned company that specializes in energy resources."

JQ will purchase the national land for the new business.

That's what this clause means.

Why is Mr. Hong trying so hard to protect this land?

Hey, Ho-gyu. What's up?

Where are you, Detective Jo?

What? What is this about?

I found something.

I'll tell you what I found in person.

It's urgent.

- What is it about? - Can I go to your house now?

You can't come to my house now.

Internal Affairs is surveilling the area.

Come to my neighborhood. I'll call when I get there.

Okay. You're on your way now, right?

Yes. I'm on my way now.

I'M AT A NEARBY CONSTRUCTION SITE

Where are you?

I'm at a nearby construction site to avoid Internal Affairs.

Sir, please make a left turn at the intersection up ahead.

Okay.

Why are you here?

It wasn't you, right?

I'm getting the wrong idea, right?

Then were you behind...

Were you behind the hit-and-run accident?

Were you the one who deleted the security footage?

Why did you do it?

DETECTIVE JO TAE-SIK

Ho-gyu!

Hey.

Hey.

Why...

Why are you...

Who is it?

Who did this to you?

Who is it? Who?

Hey. Hey!

Hey! Ho-gyu!

Hey, Ho-gyu. Ho-gyu.

Ho-gyu.

Damn it.

Damn it.

Hey.

Ho-gyu. Hey.

Hey!

Hey.

Hey, Ho-gyu.

Open your eyes.

Come on!

Get yourself together!

What am I going to do?

I'm really scared.

THE LIES WITHIN

For now, the most likely suspect

is Lieutenant Jo Tae-Sik.

Was that your doing?

Tell him to come out and clear his name.

Ms. Kim, let me ask you for a favor.

Are you saying that he deliberately put your gun on the scene?

Ho-gyu called me that day.

He had found something

- and had to see me urgently. - What did he find?

Everyone on the list...

They all might be ill.

I'll take this to the end.

Now, this has become my business.
