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

ORGANIZATIONS, RELIGIONS, AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

Min-cheol, are you really thinking of reporting me to the prosecution?

You received bribes and let them off the hook so many times.

Oh, come on.

Do you think I took that money because I wanted to?

As you already know, I have three kids.

I only took it a few times

so I could pay my eldest kid's tuition.

That will end up becoming a habit, and you'll eventually get caught.

Haven't you seen our superiors?

And don't you think you're being an embarrassing dad?

Who do you think you are?

How about you? Are your hands clean?

How could you report your own partner?

Yes, my hands are clean.

Dae-yong, you really need to get your head straight!

An armed robbery has occurred in Yangjae-dong.

The suspect is on the run. We need backup.

Aren't you going to get to work?

We have eyes on the suspect!

He's on the first basement floor!

The suspect has a knife, and I'm being threatened!

I need backup right now!

Drop the knife, you jerk!

No!

You bastard! Drop the knife!

You bastard!

You asshole!

Dae-yong.

Dae-yong...

Dae-yong...

What?

How did you...

It took me a lot of effort to find this.

I noticed you went through a lot

to get rid of the evidence.

What would happen if I took this to the police?

The statute of limitations hasn't expired yet.

So you'll surely get charged for abetting murder.

Should I start out by sending this to Detective Park's family?

Or I could just send it to your family instead.

If your family finds out

what kind of person you really are,

they'll be very shocked.

What do you want?

I need someone

in the police force to help me.

And I think

you're perfect for the job.

I won't be asking for much.

You just need to forge a case for me.

DISCLOSURE

Why did you do it?

Ho-gyu.

Why did you kill him?

Me?

You didn't do it?

Tae-sik.

I understand that people make mistakes.

I understand that you acted in the heat of the moment.

But

you've gone too far.

Now, you can't undo this.

- Turn yourself in. - What on earth are you talking about?

- Turn yourself in. - Dae-yong.

I know you were at the scene when Ho-gyu died.

I also know that the record of my gun is gone.

Was it you

who killed Ho-gyu

and framed me for the murder?

Tae-sik, I really have

no idea what you're talking about.

Turn yourself in.

You can't be on the run forever.

Why did you do it?

Why?

How could you shoot Ho-gyu?

How could you do that?

Why...

Why did you do it?

I told you not to do it.

- What? - I told you not to do it.

I asked you to turn a blind eye to it.

I even begged you.

Why didn't you listen to me? Why?

It's all your fault, you jerk!

If you had stopped back then,

I wouldn't have come this far.

Ho-gyu wouldn't have died,

and I wouldn't be in this situation either!

What are you talking about?

Is this about Choe Su-hyeon?

Does that case have something to do with why you turned out like this?

Who was it?

You'd never do something like this on your own.

Who told you to do it?

Who's giving you orders?

Tell me.

Is it JQ Group?

Jeong Yeong-mun? In Dong-gu? Jin Yeong-min?

Which one was it? Or was it all three of them?

Tell me.

Who the hell is behind you? Why are you going this far?

Even if I told you,

what can you do?

There's nothing you can do.

You don't know

how frightening they can be.

You don't know what they're capable of doing.

Tae-sik.

Let's...

Let's drop it.

We need to stop here.

- Tae-sik. - How...

How could you do this?

Who's there?

Are you okay?

Excuse me, sir.

Are you okay?

- Yes, I'm okay. - Oh, dear.

I'm fine.

Detective Jo.

Detective Jo, are you here?

Hey, Detective Kang. It's me.

Detective Jo isn't here. Do you know...

I think the guy who killed Ho-gyu and framed Detective Jo

- was our captain. - What?

Detective Jo suddenly left as soon as he heard that.

- You haven't eaten, have you? - No.

- What did you bring? - Dumplings.

Thank you.

By the way, shouldn't you be at your new office by now?

Yes, I know.

But I need to get this done before I leave.

- Did you drink? - Yes.

With whom?

You never drink with me, so I drank by myself.

Gosh, you're such a loser. You're really pathetic.

Will you please go home?

Hey.

- Stop it. - Tae-sik.

- Hey, stop it. - Tae-sik.

It's not easy, is it?

Fate is so cruel.

It hasn't even been that long since your sister died.

And now, your mother?

Fate really is merciless.

Hey, how about I go and see your mother

and make her laugh? Don't you think that'll cheer her up?

Should I do that for her?

"Laughter is the best medicine." How is that?

What do you think?

Is it a bad idea?

Fine, let's go. My gosh, seriously.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

You know I hate you, right?

- Of course. - Really?

But I probably hate you even more.

- Really? - Yes.

I'm a bit offended.

- Let's go. - Let's have some soju.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about.

Aren't you too full though?

Don't worry. I can drink some more.

- Oh, gosh. - Why? What's wrong?

- The dumplings. - They've already turned cold.

So what? We can still eat them.

Four o'clock.

Yes, this is Dongrok Precinct Station.

Okay, I'll be right there. Bye.

Is someone drunk again?

Yes, I'll see you when I get back.

Okay, see you.

Did you bring it?

CALL LOGS YU DAE-YONG

It's the captain's call logs starting from the beginning of

Choe Su-hyeon's case until now.

Thanks.

How is that going to help you at this point?

If Dae-yong has been working for JQ all this time,

there should be some kind of a call record.

I need to find out

who's behind this and where things started to go wrong.

I want you to find out whom he was talking to on the phone

when Ho-gyu died.

You're unbelievable.

I can't believe you're still sane enough to investigate.

I honestly don't care who made him do it. The fact that our captain

killed Ho-gyu and tried to frame you for his death is more shocking to me.

I can't even sleep at night

because I get so angry thinking about that.

The person who died could've been me. It could've happened to you too.

Ho-gyu just got unlucky.

That innocent punk

had to die because he just got unlucky.

How can you be so cold-hearted?

- Jin-gyeong. - You know how I felt?

I just wanted to get a knife and kill everyone who did this

including the captain and the guys working at JQ.

Then should I just kill them all?

Should we kill them just like how they killed Ho-gyu?

I guess we'll just get caught and go to prison.

- Tae-sik. - Listen to me.

We need to find out

why Ho-gyu had to die like that.

Do you think I'm being like this because I'm okay with what happened?

Rather than beating the shit out of them,

I'd rather

take responsibility for Ho-gyu's death.

Then I'll at least be able to face him later on.

So don't

do anything rash.

Just keep an eye on Dae-yong and the guys at the Regional Investigation Unit

and keep me updated about it.

Jin-gyeong.

We're the only people

who can do this.

There's a car parked over there that can't be traced.

Be careful with it.

And you should go and see Ms. Kim.

She's been looking for you ever since last night.

I'll be off now.

WE WELCOME THE NEW RENEWABLE ENERGY BUSINESS COMPLEX

- Lower it a little bit more. - Okay.

At first,

I thought I had anemia.

But when I went to the hospital,

they told me I had terminal lung cancer.

I even went to a shaman hoping she might be able to help me.

I tried all sorts of things, but they were all useless.

And now,

I don't even have much money left.

I wouldn't even have been able to afford the medicine

if it wasn't for JQ Hospital's help.

I heard

that it's the hospital's newly implemented welfare policy.

SUPPORTED BY JQ

They offered to pay for all of my medical expenses.

I really can't thank them enough.

JQ PAID ALL THE EXPENSES

Hello, I have a question to ask.

Are these patients currently getting treated here?

Just a second.

PATIENT INFORMATION

Yes, these patients are getting treated at our hospital.

But may I ask why you're asking this?

I noticed that the hospital's paying for their medical expenses.

Can I ask why?

They're receiving financial aid based on our hospital's welfare policy.

Their illnesses and financial situations seem to vary a lot.

And I'm curious of your standards in choosing whom to aid.

I'm sorry, but it's against the hospital rules to tell you that.

Then can I at least meet the doctor who's in charge of these patients?

He's currently out of town to attend a seminar.

You should make an appointment and visit again.

Then can I look at their medical records?

We can't show that to anyone other than the patients themselves.

CALL LOGS YU DAE-YONG

An illegal cell phone.

The number is "248-7332."

I can't check whom the captain was talking to on the phone

when Ho-gyu died. The person was using an illegal cell phone.

CALL LOGS YU DAE-YONG

April 4?

That's when Choi Chi-deuk went missing.

March 19. The day Kim Pil-yeon died.

March 3. The day Kim Seung-cheol died.

And February 14. The day Choe Su-hyeon died.

CALL LOGS YU DAE-YONG

Every time something happened, he always called...

The number "7332."

This is the guy Dae-yong's spying for.

Now that we're done dealing with everything,

we just need to tear down the factory.

Once they pass the bill at the end of this month,

we'll begin tearing down the RMC factory.

It'll take about two weeks to finish.

If things go as planned,

the groundbreaking of our new business will be in the last week of next month.

You're living up to your new role.

You know how to push ahead.

How are Assemblywoman Kim and the cops?

Have you noticed anything in particular after what happened?

They're being careful these days.

The team was changed as well.

And now that she's even had an accident,

it won't be easy for Seo-hui to be reckless like she was before.

I've already agreed to let you deal with that matter,

so I trust that you'll take care of it.

Just a second.

Hello?

I think it's going to take me about an hour and a half.

Yes, I'll be there before then.

- Hello? - I heard you looked for me.

Detective Jo? Where are you?

Let's meet at the empty house.

It won't be easy to catch him.

Tae-sik is a smart guy.

I've ordered my guys to look for him,

so give us some time.

About Detective Park Min-cheol...

Your partner who died ten years ago.

I suddenly got curious about how his family is doing these days.

So I looked into it.

And they're living a difficult life.

They're even about to lose their house.

I bet it's been a while since you last visited them.

Shouldn't you be helping them out?

You're responsible

for his death.

I guess you don't like talking about this.

But I can't help but think about that every time I see you.

You left your partner to die, and you seemed pretty tormented by that.

Enough!

I'm doing everything you ask.

Jo Tae-sik.

Why did you not get rid of him?

What did you two talk about?

Once you get rid of him,

the whole thing will be over. That's what I said.

Tae-sik knows everything.

All about it.

Not just about Ho-gyu. He knows the whole thing.

I guess

he already sensed

that we're involved.

Are you sure the captain

framed you for his doing?

He didn't do it alone. There's someone behind him.

Who?

In Dong-gu.

It seems he's been in league with In Dong-gu since Choe Su-hyeon's case.

Those who've been killed

might have something to do with In Dong-gu.

But there's something strange.

What's strange?

Nothing. I heard you found something from the list.

Right.

It turns out we were right about it.

All the people on the list are seriously ill.

SUPPORTED BY JQ

"Medical expenses supported by JQ"?

Yes. The JQ Hospital in Songju

has been supporting their medical expenses.

JQ has?

And...

I marked their addresses on a map.

SONGJU

Look.

This is the land for their new building.

- So they all live in the building site. - Yes.

JQ is paying their medical expenses,

and Hong Min-guk is trying to let JQ

buy this land no matter what.

It's the land.

The secret is in this land.

The secret JQ is desperately trying to hide.

NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE

Residents in a neighborhood fell ill collectively?

Yes. I met them all one by one.

They have all kinds of cancer like blood cancer and lung cancer.

Some of them had a miscarriage.

And there are young kids who went blind or deaf.

About one fourth of the people there are seriously ill.

How is it possible?

Are you sure about that?

Yes. Have you ever seen anything like this before?

I have. It's an example from abroad though.

I can't tell the exact cause before checking their medical history,

but a collective disease case like this

usually happens due to a virus infection or pestilence.

But in the case you mentioned, the types of diseases are too various.

Then...

It means there's only one possible cause.

When natural resources

such as air, soil, or water are contaminated,

people who live in the neighborhood are exposed to the pollution.

There's a good chance that resources in the area are contaminated.

Resourced shared by everyone.

We've talked to Mr. Park about the shares.

For the funds, he started to buy stocks of JQ E&F.

All we need to do now is win Mr. Gong over to our side.

Then we will be able to secure all the stocks we need by next month.

Thank you for your hard work.

I'll meet with Mr. Gong.

Okay. I'll arrange an appointment.

And there's something you should see.

Here.

Assemblywoman Kim asked JQ Hospital

for the medical history of some patients.

Some patients?

I guess she's got the list of names.

So we've ended up like this.

What do we do?

Sir?

- Leave her be. - Pardon?

Just leave her alone. Don't do anything.

- But... - It will eventually help our plan.

Chairman Jeong and Mr. In should never know about this though.

Okay.

SUPPORTED BY JQ JQ PAID ALL THE EXPENSES

The land is contaminated? And that's why people fell ill.

Yes. We need to check their medical history

in order to find the exact cause.

But the hospital wouldn't share it with us.

I'll find a way.

You should look more deeply into the contamination.

- Okay, I will. - Be careful.

Hey.

Let's go.

Where are we going?

I took today off.

What should we do now?

What? Why are you being so enthusiastic all of a sudden?

I've thought about it.

I guess you are right.

Getting angry without doing anything

won't bring Ho-gyu back.

I just have to do something.

I need the medical records of the patients on this list.

But I can't get it in a legitimate manner.

Some of them went to smaller local hospitals before JQ Hospital.

We might be able to get the records from a small hospital like that.

I know it's only a local hospital,

but we can't ask for it without a warrant.

You just said we have to do something.

Your experience in the RIU will finally pay off.

All right then.

CALL HISTORY

IN DONG-GU

Tae-sik knows everything.

Track a phone number.

Insurance fraud?

KANG JIN-GYEONG

His name is Park Jeong-ho. and he's 56 years old.

- Do you have his medical records? - What?

Just check and see if you have them.

PARK JEONG-HO

We do have them, but...

My goodness.

We got a report from the insurance company

that the patient conspired with a hospital and collected his insurance illegally.

We are not involved.

I'm not saying it was this hospital.

We are just investigating all the hospitals he's been to.

We need your cooperation.

- Cooperation? - I need to see his medical records.

Now.

MEDICAL RECORD

Ms. No Jeong-sun?

If this hospital doesn't cooperate, it may look suspicious.

MEDICAL RECORD

They all cooperated with us.

SONGJU PEDIATRICS

FISH IN A RESERVOIR IN SONGJU DIED EN MASSE

"In 2004,

in a reservoir

in Buheung-myeon, fish died en masse."

"In 2001,

there was damage to the crops."

MASS DEATHS OF CHICKENS IN SONGJU

"In 1999, about 300 chickens suffered death en masse."

Songju RMC?

CEMENT DUST FROM SONGJU RMC

"Cement dust from Songju RMC.

Local residents protesting."

What is this?

Did Songju RMC contaminate the area?

Excuse me.

Can I take a look at the materials

about Songju RMC?

- Please wait a second. - Okay.

So there's a chance that Songju RMC might be the cause of contamination?

Yes. All the clues are pointing to that place.

Fish and chickens in the area died en masse before.

And residents suffered a lot of crop damage.

They even went on a demonstration because of the issue.

If it's about Songju RMC...

Kim Pil-yeon, Choi Chi-deuk...

They all have something to do with Sang-hun's case.

So it was all about the contamination.

And

Kim Pil-yeon

was in charge of wastewater management in the company.

It's an unidentified prepaid phone.

The call was made near your office.

DONGROK PRECINCT STATION

Hey.

You know it's not right.

You can't ask for medical records without a warrant.

How many did you get?

- Thirty-four. - Is that it?

I worked so hard to get this. I even broke the law.

If it leaks out, you and I will be doomed...

Okay. I'll just take pictures of it.

MEDICAL RECORD

You know I met Dr. Han.

Oh, right. How did it go?

There's a trace of a fight

before Ho-gyu's death.

But no other DNA was found.

This is driving me crazy.

What do we do to clear your name?

Was there anything else other than that?

Oh, right.

We found a piece of fiber under his nails.

- Fiber? - But it's so small. I can't even see it.

There's no way we can catch the criminal with it.

What was Dae-yong wearing that day?

I told you not to run.

Who are you?

Hello.

Why are you here again?

I need to ask you something about Kim Pil-yeon.

I have nothing to tell you. Get out.

- Let's go inside. - I heard Mr. Kim was

in charge of wastewater management.

Did you hear anything about it?

I don't know anything. Please leave.

This is important.

It might have something to do with your husband's death.

Please do me a favor.

He never told me about his work.

He just wanted to leave this place.

Was it Mr. Kim

who blocked the faucet?

Dad told us not to drink it. He sounded really upset.

Jo Tae-sik.

NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH

Hello.

Excuse me. May I ask you something?

I guess you use groundwater in this house.

Yes, I do.

Do people in this village use groundwater a lot?

Of course. Most of them use it.

We all installed faucets to use groundwater.

I see.

- Yes. - I went to Kim Pil-yeon's house.

He blocked the faucet in the front yard

and told his family not to use it.

Stop right there.

Hey!

NATIONAL GROUNDWATER INFORMATION CENTER

WATER QUALITY MAINTENANCE TEAM

This is the map for underground water in Songju.

Thank you.

Does the black line show underground water?

Yes. It shows the stratum of underground water local residents use.

What about the circles?

They are called tube wells.

They are like wells for underground water.

There are a lot of them only in this area.

It means people in this area use underground water a lot.

Yeongil-myeon, Buheung-myeon, Hagye-myeon...

YEONGIL-MYEON, BUHEUNG-MYEON, HAGYE-MYEON

SONGJU

People living in the building site for the new business

share the same underground water.

It's the water that's contaminated.

It's the water.

SONGJU JQ HOSPITAL SPECIAL PATIENTS

Songju JQ Hospital has been trying

to grasp the number of people with blood contamination

through free medical check-up service.

And the number

has been increasing, sir.

We even installed the water supply and sewage system,

but it didn't work.

They keep using underground water

not to pay water bills.

They go crazy for free things without thinking.

We're still in charge of the water quality investigation,

so local residents in the lot

don't know anything about its harmfulness.

We will have to kick them out of the lot

if this continues to occur.

We never know when environmental organizations

and civic groups will sense something.

We have to hurry

with the new business project

so no one can associate

the residents' diseases with the land.

Once the bill is passed tomorrow,

it won't be long before the general meeting.

Please don't worry about it.

A few weeks feel like a really long time.

I hope nothing happens in the meantime.

I will make sure of that.

Mr. Yu.

Jo Tae-sik dropped by the company yesterday.

I attached the footage in the email. Please check.

Dad told us not to drink it. He sounded really upset.

Kim Pil-yeon told his family not to drink the groundwater.

Then, was the groundwater contaminated?

What on earth got leaked into the water

that so many people became sick?

MEDICAL RECORD

I don't understand the medical jargon.

It's a piece of fiber.

It's from the victim's nails.

But this is all I could find about the suspect.

What was Dae-yong wearing that day?

I definitely ran into Captain that day.

Captain.

Ho-gyu...

What are we going to do?

Yes?

Hey, Jin-gyeong.

Hello.

- Did you come alone? - Yes.

Dae-yong sent me on an errand.

- He asked me to bring his jacket. - I see. Come on in.

He could have called me to bring the jacket.

He shouldn't have asked you.

I feel bad. You must be busy with your own work.

Oh, no. I'm not busy at all.

I just follow his orders

whether it's picking up stuff or something else.

But still.

This...

- Ma'am. - Yes?

Could I have a cup of water?

Where are my manners? I haven't even offered you a drink yet. Gosh.

This is what happens when you live with Dae-yong.

- Give me a second. - Okay.

A dark gray jacket and a black T-shirt.

A dark gray jacket...

- This is the one. - Jin-gyeong.

Have your pick. Coffee or green tea?

- Green tea, please. - Sure.

Please make it warm.

Sure.

GENE ANALYSIS LAB

Gosh, this is driving me insane.

What's taking so long?

You're still not done yet?

It'll be done soon.

Goodness.

So far, I haven't found any fiber

that matches the one we found on the victim.

Keep trying.

We got him on camera when he was exiting the tollgate in Songju.

After stopping at the JQ headquarters,

he went back to Songju.

Songju.

I'm sure he has a hideout somewhere there.

Check every single dashcam and security cameras nearby.

And get me his final destination.

Who is it?

It's too early for me to have a guest.

Wait.

Hey.

Hey, you...

Are you out of your mind? Why are you here?

I have no one to turn to. Only you can help me.

You trust me too much. I'm about to call the police.

If you do, I'll just get arrested.

- Shall I call? - No.

Jeez.

You're such a troublemaker.

Fine. What do you need me to do? Tell me.

Here.

This is it.

Please take a look.

- Is this a medical record? - Yes.

Can you check and see if there's anything unusual?

A hematologic malignancy.

A hematologic malignancy.

Uterine fibroids.

Brain tumor?

What's all this?

- What do you think? - What do I think?

I'm heartbroken.

All of these patients have serious illnesses.

What's all this?

Medical records of people who reside

in a particular region.

What kind of area? Why are there so many patients?

That's my point. Can you take a closer look?

Is there anything unusual?

There's no special reason for getting sick.

Age, name, gender, and diagnosis. Everything is different.

Perhaps, everyone got unlucky...

What?

- Hold on. - There's something, right?

Look.

NOTES: CR6, PLUS

"Cr6, plus"?

Chromium.

This means that they found chromium in all of these patients' blood.

- Chromium? - Zinc dichromate.

- What's that? - Chromium.

So what is that exactly?

Don't you know? Chromium means zinc dichromate.

Look.

It's in a group one carcinogen.

Hey, once this gets into your body,

you can't get it out.

That's how deadly it is.

You know what? Unless they were forced to swallow this,

it's hard to get such a huge amount in human bodies.

What on earth have you brought me?

SAMPLE

This explains how so many people in that area got sick.

The level of hexavalent chromium found in the water is too high.

- How high is it? - Let me think.

How should I explain this to you?

Given the amount,

you ought to move all the residents in that area.

Before that, they should get a medical checkup.

If they had been exposed for over 20 years,

- they are probably... - Pardon?

How many years?

The residents have been exposed to this for 20 years?

Yes. They have probably been exposed for 20 years, at least.

To measure the half-life of the contamination,

we usually use the level of concentration in the growth rings from the area.

I found hexavalent chromium even in the inner ring.

We must conclude that the contamination began around at least 20 years ago.

MASS DEATHS OF CHICKENS IN SONGJU

Songju RMC was built in 2004.

But the chickens died in 1999.

The contamination began even before building Songju RMC.

Then,

it means the factory wasn't the source of the contamination.

THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA

I believe everyone is present.

Since everyone is present,

we will now commence the second meeting

of the Judiciary Committee by the 356th National Assembly.

You said you were looking for factories in Songju before 1999, correct?

Yes.

The records of factories before 1999

should be around here.

Right here.

Here.

Thank you.

MINING AND MANUFACTURING

Make sure you don't miss anything from the security footages.

- Got it. - Got it.

I found him.

Where?

Rewind it.

- Where is this? - Yeongil-myeon in Songju.

Form a team and get started.

- Yes, sir. - Detective Lee, start the car.

- And request for backup. - Yes, sir.

MINING AND MANUFACTURING

"Jeonggeon Steelwork"?

This is Father's name.

JEONGGEON STEELWORK

IMAGES

Now, we plan to pass the revised draft

of the bill regarding clause 5.

Is there any objection?

- No. - No.

I hereby declare

clause 5 of the special bill

on the new renewable energy business complex in Songju has been passed.

Don't be a coward. Step on it.

Yes, sir.

So you confirmed

the water is contaminated and hexavalent chromium is the cause,

but are you saying Songju RMC

didn't contaminate the water?

No, they didn't. I checked it with the lab before coming here.

The contamination began at least 20 years ago.

In other words,

the contamination started even before they built Songju RMC.

These companies that handled hexavalent chromium 20 years ago.

There is only one company I suspect.

"Jeonggeon Steelwork."

JEONG YEONG-MUN

Jeong Yeong-mun?

Yes. JQ used to be Jeonggeon.

JQ first started as a steelwork company in Songju

where the lot for the new business is.

How far have we come?

We're almost there.

When I assumed that Songju RMC was the source of the contamination,

I thought that this all happened because of money.

Once people found out about the contamination,

the business will fall through

and all the investment they made in Songju will come to nothing.

And the price of the land they bought in Songju would plummet.

If that happened, JQ would probably end up with astronomical losses.

But what if it was the opposite?

JQ started to cover the patients' medical bills

even before the National Assembly began talking about the new business.

Even before they tried to set up the new business,

JQ was aware of the patients and their conditions?

Yes.

Then, JQ and Hong Min-gu aren't

trying to cover up the contamination for the sake of the new business.

To cover up the contamination,

they came up with the new business

because they were the ones

who contaminated the land.

Poor baby.

Then, the news article Choe Su-hyeon was trying to write...

Then, can you tell me when the illness started?

It started about ten years ago.

Right. Where do you get your drinking water?

We get the water from the yard

- if I need it quickly. - Yes, we do that.

By the way, how's your health?

When I went to the hospital, I was diagnosed with renal cancer.

Renal cancer?

- Yes. - I still don't know what caused it.

Mr. Kim Seung-cheol and Mr. Jeong Sang-hun

had no choice but to oppose the new business in Songju...

SONGJU

This is a lot bigger than I thought.

I didn't think it'd be this huge.

We must reveal this to the world.

It won't be easy.

Those people will do whatever it takes

to stop us.

Yes, they will.

It was because he found out the real agenda of the new business.

Dad and Sang-hun...

They were trying to tell the public

that JQ contaminated the land

and that people were dying because of it.

THE LIES WITHIN

I know everything.

You contaminated the land, Father.

In case people find out,

you're trying to set up the new business complex there.

Yeong-min, you said you would take care of Seo-hui.

Forgive me.

Let's cut him off.

Why are you here?

Stop it now.

Do you have the result?

Something has gone wrong.

If not, why do we keep having a problem after a problem?

Let's handle the most urgent matter.

Track his location or something!

It doesn't matter what I say.

Isn't the answer already decided?

Who are you?

Over there!

You're finally getting things done properly.

Admit it.

I will never say what you want me to say.

Sang-hun.

Sang-hun is still alive.
