EPISODE 14

So you ordered Jo Sung-dae to kill Park Gun-ho, right?

It's time you admit it now.

Stop pretending like you don't know.

We got proof that you killed Yoon Ji-sun.

You told Park Gun-ho to kill Lee Dae-chul in prison,

but Park Gun-ho didn't listen

and he was instead claiming that Lee Dae-chul was innocent

so you got nervous and got Jo Sung-dae to kill him.

Am I wrong?

Why are you looking for evidence now?

You should've looked for it back then.

You and Nam Gook-hyun worked together to set it up.

Set it up?

Set it up...

If that were true...

then you should've discovered that back then too.

And Park Gun-ho?

You guys are the ones who announced that he committed suicide.

Why are you bringing that back up when you've already made the announcement?

Nam Gook-hyun was the one—

Right, Nam Gook-hyun.

Isn't he part of the police?

In the end, it means the police were incompetent and corrupt..

And you guys are admitting that right now.

Am I wrong?

You should admit that you conspired with Nam Gook-hyun to set the case up.

Then we'll admit that the police were incompetent and corrupt.

There's a way to make the police look stupid again.

Want to know what that is?

Confess that you killed Yoon Ji-sun.

The retrials are already over.

So we can't lock you up with it.

You'll get to humiliate the police again.

That doesn't sound bad.

I'll think about it.

Your arrest warrant wasn't issued for the murder of Yoon Ji-sun.

It's for conspiring to kill Park Gun-ho.

It pisses me off but you'll only get punished for that charge.

But that's the reality.

If you realize that you've done wrong and admit to your crime,

we'll stop it at here too.

So you'll stop here if you get to reveal that Lee Dae-chul was wrongfully executed?

That's what you want, right?

You killed Yoon Ji-sun.

And Lee Dae-chul was executed in your place.

Do you not have the slightest bit of conscience?

You don't believe that I killed Detective Jang too, right?

You believe that someone else killed him, right?

Then you can't blame everything on the guy who killed Yoon Ji-sun.

The guy who killed the detective also sent Lee Dae-chul to his execution chair.

Catch that guy and let me meet with him.

Then I'll discuss things with him and think about what I should do.

Damn it!

My lawyer is going to get mad at me for saying too much.

Let's stop here.

Wow...

He's not even going to serve that many years even if we lock him up.

And that bastard is never going to feel bad for what he did.

He looks confident on the outside, but he's very nervous and scared on the inside.

We need to know that.

He realized for the first time in his life that he might go to prison.

That's what he's scared of.

And that's why he met with Yoo Jung-ryul.

To escape the fear.

Yoo Jung-ryul...

What if we end up having to release him again?

The lab sent the DNA results from the skeletal remains.

- What does it say? - It is Jo Sung-gi.

He was a former cop, and they had his DNA so it was easy to confirm it.

You know who Jo Sung-gi is, right?

Yes.

Do you remember meeting him 5 years ago?

It's been about 5 years.

The skeletal remains were confirmed to be Jo Sung-gi.

He is estimated to have been killed 5 years ago.

And the time he was reported missing matches the time when you met with him.

So you think I'm a suspect.

We have no other choice.

We believe that you're the last person to see him alive.

You know about our past, right?

And you must know that I was looking for him.

Under these circumstances, I must be the prime suspect.

But it won't be easy.

It will be heard to interrogate me as a suspect with only circumstantial evidence.

You're right.

You're the editor of Junghan Daily.

And your brother is the Minister of Justice, so the investigation won't be easy.

I understand that the circumstances make it seem like

I could've killed Jo Sung-gi for personal vengeance.

But it's been 5 years, and all we have are skeletal remains.

So it will be very difficult to find direct proof that I killed him.

It means it will be hard to solve the case without the killer's confession.

Detective Jang was also murdered around the same time and same place.

You know that, right?

You're considering that I could've also killed Detective Jang.

We haven't excluded the fact that it could be a coincidence.

According to Ms. Jin's article,

the skeletal remains were found pretty far from

where Detective Jang's body was found.

If the killer had killed both of them, why would he bury the bodies so far apart?

Wouldn't it be logical to bury them together?

It would be logical to bury them together.

But if the killer was someone who had seen many murder scenes like we have,

then he may have wanted to go against that logic.

The killer burned the car that had evidence in it,

and buried the body underneath the car.

We can conclude that he used the logic of police's scene preservation.

That's a plausible speculation.

But it's not a confirmed fact.

It seems like you'll have to put in a lot of work to turn that speculation into a fact.

We'll stop it here since we're only interviewing you as a witness today.

Thank you for your cooperation.

You can call me anytime if my testimony can help with the investigation.

But please avoid publishing deadline times.

An editor needs to look through a lot of articles.

I need to get going for a meeting.

We need more manpower for this case.

Yes, chief.

We'll be right there.

Maybe I'll talk to the chief about it.

You think he can help?

It's better than working alone.

Come in!

Welcome.

You haven't eaten yet, right?

Let's eat together.

Have a seat.

Enjoy!

Thanks.

By the way,

tell the chef to use some good meat for the fried pork.

- It tastes different than before. - Okay!

You don't have to leave the office today, right?

It doesn't matter if you do.

We need to drink to do our line of work.

We can't do it sober.

Why are we drinking in your office?

Is something up?

Just take the plastic wraps off. Do I have to do that too?

I got this as bribery.

It's good.

It's strong enough to knock you out with one shot, but you come back quickly.

Why did you accept that?

This is the only thing I was able to save after you took everything!

I should've taken out the alcohol before returning everything.

It would've been fun to open one at a time while I rest at home.

Why would you be resting at home?

Because I want to.

You guys give me such a hard time.

Did the headquarter say something to you?

What do they have on you this time?

I realized crimes can't stay totally buried.

They get revealed one by one as if the rain is sweeping the dirt away.

That's why they say you cannot live with a guilty conscience.

Drink up.

What the hell happened?

You're killing me here.

I've been released from my duties.

- I'm waiting for a new assignment. - What?

Is it because of what we've Ben investigating?

It's so not fair.

I wanted to fire all of you guys before leaving my post as a chief.

But they didn't even give me the chance.

This is not right! We need to submit an appeal!

How can they just fire someone because we conducted an investigation?

Don't you think it's more illogical for you guys to conduct an

investigation that your superiors ordered you not to touch?

Chief...

That's why I said we should hand it over to the headquarters!

What you guys are doing doesn't make sense,

but I like it.

Don't stop just because I got fired.

I won't be able to sleep at night if you don't do your work because I got fired.

Destroy every single person who is involved with this case.

- Who are you? - What are you doing?

What do you want?

Get up.

Yes, I saw the video.

But what does this have to with Minister Yoo?

Okay.

I think it will take about 30 minutes.

I'll see you there.

You should ask me directly if you have any questions.

Don't try to get the answers through the police.

I'll talk to you with my article.

You can talk to me then if you have any comments.

Would you like me to call you a cab?

I'm fine.

I just want to walk.

You guys can go back inside.

Go back inside.

Stop following me!

I will be back!

He worked here for more than 20 years.

We got him kicked out of his own house.

I don't know what the right thing to do is anymore...

That video is from...

Ms. Kim uploaded the video on our community forum page.

It was deleted right away.

It's more important to find out why someone

deleted the video rather than who uploaded it.

You think this has something to do with Minister Yoo, right?

Incheon Real Estate Trust belongs to Oh Jong-tae.

And Oh Jong-tae attended a hearing to testify about Yoo Jung-ryul's corruption.

The landfill is in Minister Yoo's district.

Do you get the gist of it now?

How do you want me to proceed with this?

The police are going to do the investigation.

But if it doesn't gain the public's attention,

the investigation will come to a halt according to the logic of force.

I want you to prevent that.

As you know, Minister Yoo's brother is the editor of our paper.

You're a journalist.

Don't you want this story?

The police are involved in this too.

It might lead to you to betraying them.

I know that.

Then why are you doing this?

Is this a personal revenge for the police organization that abandoned you?

That would be foolish.

What I want is power.

Power to break down the wall that is in my way.

All right, let's do it.

Oh my! Hey!

You're not even feeling well!

You just take care of yourself!

Don't faint again and get us get called to the hospital.

I told you that I would do the cleaning.

I was talking about your room.

No, no. I'll do that too.

You can just—

No.

You quit your job, right?

Yes.

I told my manager that I'm going to take some time off.

- What about your eye? - It's not bloodshot anymore.

Go to your room and get some rest.

Don't do something I didn't ask you to do.

Hey.

Long time no talk. What's up?

Oh my! Really?

Jae-Hong came to you himself?

To take judo lessons?

Oh my gosh!

Why did he want to learn judo all of a sudden?

Did you ask him?

What?

Really?

I see.

He knows that his mom did judo?

He said he wants to be like his mom?

Yeah. Hey...

Please take good care of him.

Tell me if he's late on paying for his lessons.

I'll go work at a restaurant if I have to so that I can pay for it.

Okay. Thank you!

Bye.

Jae-Hong, my baby...

Hello.

Where's the chief?

You didn't know he got dismissed from his duties?

Oh, was that starting today?

I forgot to check that.

That's too bad.

I wanted to say my last goodbye.

Yoon Sang-mi.

I'm glad you're here.

I was going to come see you after.

Be honest.

You did this, right?

Yes, it was my job.

You should fire me instead.

Why would you kick an innocent man out?

Then that would mess with our plan.

I told you to just keep pushing forward.

Ms. Jin told me everything yesterday.

I heard Editor Yoo is your target right now.

Yoo Jung-ryul won't let you touch his brother.

You would have to deal with some severe consequences.

I let Chief Moon take a temporary refuge.

What?

We don't have much time.

The superiors are going to pick one of their own to replace the chief.

We need to expose this before they do that.

I told you that power comes from information.

And you need power to take down another power.

I also told you...

To put it in simpler terms.

Pause the video.

That's the guy.

Do-Chang, we have so much to do already.

Why do we need to go arrest a gang banger?

It's a little complicated, but to put it in simpler terms...

When Minister Yoo was the Congressman for his district...

What is that called again...

Just do as I say.

Yes, sir.

I don't even know how to explain it...

I'm Kwon Jae-Hong from Incheon's west police division.

You're under arrest for assault.

Excuse me.

Let me finish my set.

I have a routine.

Wait...

I lost my count. Damn...

I'll just start again from five.

You little...

- Five. - Come here.

- I'll give you a personal training. - Six.

- Seven. - Stop it.

Eight.

Okay.

Who is it?

Get the guy's number and address.

I'm going to make sure he can't function in the society anymore.

What?

The uncle is the head of a patrol station?

I can't believe this.

Does he think he's got some kind of advantage because of that?

Tell him to cut the nonsense.

Okay?

- Yeah. - We need to take care of this.

Okay.

Can you give this to my son? Tell him it's a gift from his mom.

You should take it to him yourself.

I think he would like that more.

I can't.

His dad filed a restraining order against me.

You can see him in secret.

I'll bring him out.

No.

I don't want to tell my son to lie and say that he didn't see me.

And Jae-Hong has never lied in his life.

He's such a nice kid.

Is it good?

Are you happy you got your mom's gold medal?

Your mom misses you a lot.

Don't you miss her too?

I miss her.

But I can't see her.

My dad said she would get arrested if I go see her.

Hey! Your uncle is a cop!

I think they'll let it slide.

No.

I'm going to just be patient.

It will be okay.

I would go see her everyday and play with her if I were you.

What's wrong with you?

I said I'm going to be patient.

I just need to be patient.

I don't want my mom to get arrested.

You're such a good kid.

Who told you to do it?

You got paid to hit him, right?

No one told me to do it.

That man glared at me first.

Let's not do this little dance.

Only a piece of trash would hit someone just because they glare at them.

But you're someone who has lived a systematic life of a gangster.

What do you take me for?

Are you saying that I'm part of a gang then?

A cop shouldn't frame someone like this.

I just got mad and hit him.

For no reason.

Just lock me up for assault if you can.

Stop it!

Damn it!

That bastard!

Hey, just let it go.

I'm just going to kill him and go to prison!

That's enough!

You need to lose that temper of yours!

You bastard!

If I ever see you again, I will make sure you don't see the sky ever again!

What's wrong with you?

You'll get in trouble again!

What?

Did he just laugh?

Let's not do this little dance.

You should just try to scare me directly.

Or you should just hit me on the forehead with something like this and make me bleed.

Do it.

Are you scared you might get in trouble?

You'll only get couple months of suspension.

Do it.

Don't be scared. Just do it.

Yes, he's asleep right now.

Hurry.

The director talked to his dad.

He said he'd be here in 2 hours and asked us to watch him until then.

You just need to come before then.

I think he's going to take a long nap because he's tired from his lesson.

My baby...

You need to get out of there right now. His dad is here.

Hello?

I'll stop by the market with him and be right there. Okay, bye.

Min-sik!

I'm sorry!

I thought you were my friend, Min-sik.

I'm really sorry.

You look so young from the back.

I mistook you for my friend.

I apologize.

Are you crazy?

Excuse me! Are you Min-sik's dad?

No!

Oh...

You look like him too.

- You're his dad, right? - No.

I said I'm not.

I was just wondering.

Min-sik borrowed money from me and never called me back.

It's not me.

I'm sorry about that.

What in the world...

Are you going to keep answering like that?

This won't make me give up on you.

How many times do I have to tell you?

I never took any money.

Fine.

Let's see who wins in the end.

Detective.

I know you're a busy man.

Stop wasting your time on this.

Let me give you a piece of advice.

What? Advice?

I may look like this, but I have a very powerful man watching my back.

You'll regret doing this once you find out who is watching my back.

So instead of resenting me later on, you should just end it here.

I'm saying this for your sake.

Let's take a break.

I'm not as hot tempered as I used to be...

- Hey. - Do-Chang!

What are you doing?

We met near your station because you said you were busy!

Hey, I'm a little busy right now.

Why is it so hard to see your face?

Our meeting is almost over.

Are you going to come or not?

Then can you guys come here instead?

Hello sir.

- You're serving Do-Chang well, right? - Of course.

Long time no see!

- Is everyone here? - Yes.

- Everyone, come here! - Hello!

Hey, it will be helpful for you to know who they are.

Say hello to these men.

This is Captain Kim Soo-Hong from violent crimes at the south division.

This is Jang Min-gyu who works at the same station.

I hope to see you often.

- Go Min-Hong from Yeonsu division. - Nice to meet you.

Do-Chang from the center division.

He didn't get scared.

Baek Gyung-won from cyber security.

Kim Ki-dong from petty crimes.

Lee Taek-Jin from white collar crimes.

What's your name?

Kim Sang-gyun sir.

Kim Sang-gyun. They're from regional investigation unit.

Hong Min-gi, Lee Soo-hyun, and Hong Nan-hee.

Do you know what they all have in common?

They go after one guy until the end.

You'll have to see them day in and day out unless you leave Incheon.

What about us?

Right, my team. Come here.

Team 1 is here too.

That's right.

You were still here?

All right...

I may not have much, but I have these guys watching my back.

I told you who's watching my back. Now tell me who's watching yours.

Let's see who is better.

Let's battle it out.

Shall we all go out for dinner since we're all here together?

That sounds great!

- You can come along too. - How do you feel about pork belly?

I hope we get along big guy.

Yes?

I don't want to drink by myself.

Want to join me?

Wow!

You're really good!

You're definitely good enough to get into art school.

I still have a long way to go.

Did you see my son do judo?

Yes, a little bit.

He's good, right?

I'm sure he's really good just like his mom.

He has similar bone structure as me.

Who did you get your art talent from?

My dad.

Was your dad a good artist?

I don't know.

I just have a feeling that he would've been good.

You miss him, huh?

I just need to be patient.

Even Jae-Hong can be patient.

Thank you.

Eun-hye.

I didn't do anything.

You're a good artist just like your dad,

and you'll be an amazing painter.

Isn't my son so good looking?

Girls will be lining up for him, right?

Yes, he won me over too.

Right?

I knew it.

This is a call history between Secretary Nam and the assailant at the time.

And transaction history of Secretary Nam paying him.

Are you allowed to give this to me without a warrant?

Our department obtained this a long time ago.

We got it after getting a warrant at the time, so it shouldn't be an issue.

Then how come—

I told you.

There is a right timing to use the information.

Are you saying if someone messes with you guys, they can get destroyed any time?

I'd like to apologize for being mean to you in the past.

I won't mess with you anymore.

You're finally getting it.

Violent crimes team 2 idiots from Incheon's west division...

Let's go catch the whale!

How has it been in that seat?

Is it good?

It's better now that I've gotten adjusted to it.

Jung-suk told you, right?

I wriggled a little to try to beat you.

But it didn't work.

I don't have enough power.

Why did you want to see me?

I'd like to go back to being friends with you.

That won't change things between us.

You're right.

At our age, we only become friends with people whom we can exchange things with.

I would go for drinks, but I'm too busy today.

Let's set up a date for another time.

I'm sorry, but we'll have to end the reunion here for today.

You must be having a hard time because of Jung-suk.

I know Jung-suk is in a bit of trouble,

but it all started at Incheon.

Don't you need someone to help him out?

Continue.

Incheon's district attorney needs to be one of your men,

in order for things to get resolved.

Right.

I'll look for someone.

I'll join your side for a bit.

You?

You think you can be one of my men?

That all depends on you.

If you help me out first,

I'll help Jung-suk.

I'll join your side until then.

Not a second longer after that.

That will be too humiliating for me.

You're under arrest for accepting bribery and solicitation of aggravated assault.

You have a right to a lawyer.

And the right to remain silent.

All right.

You told the press already?

Of course we didn't. They found out about it on their own.

Do you accept the charges?

Is Minister Yoo involved in this case?

Let's go.

Sir!

Sir!

You all saw the report Ms. Jin submitted, right?

Yes.

She can't do this alone.

Round up some people to help her with the investigation.

This is a big story.

The city and even high police officials and Minister might be involved.

Do the investigation, but cooperate with the Ministry of Justice.

Destroying them isn't everything.

Boss.

I get where you're coming from,

but won't that mean we'll miss a big piece of the story?

The order came from the director.

Then I'll discuss it with Mr. Baek and adjust the censoring.

Okay.

I've clearly relayed to you about where the company stands with this.

If things go wrong again, you'll have to personally take responsibility for it.

I'll keep that in mind.

This is too bad. I know how hard you two have worked on this.

It was all for nothing again.

This must be discouraging.

This was all expected part of the process.

Part of the process?

So you haven't given up on me yet?

Getting released doesn't mean you're innocent.

Haven't you heard of investigation without arrest?

We've got to go to trial to get the final verdict.

We can't know how this will end yet.

You usually don't get involved if you know you're going to lose.

You've made the wrong judgment this time.

How was it being in lock up?

I experienced something new thanks to you.

You should get used to it.

You'll be in there for a long time from now on.

Ji-hyuk has enough to live on even if he quits his job.

But not you, Detective Kang.

You don't have to worry about that Mr. Oh.

I have a family member who has a lot.

I'm going to stick close to him and mooch off of him for the rest of my life.

So you don't need to worry.

You can raise hell as much as you'd like.

Let's go.

Raise hell?

Raise hell...

Mr. Park, it must've been nice for you the past couple of days.

But that's too bad.

A hell raiser is back.

No, sir.

You should look forward to it.

I'll go back to being the old Oh Jong-tae.

I've been staying too quiet.

So...

So they're looking down on me.

Let's go.

You said you don't have any rich family.

Didn't you say they all try to ask you for money?

No there's one.

He's younger than me, but if things don't go well with this,

I'm going to serve him like he's my older brother.

Age is just a number. The richer one should be the one who gets served.

Right, older brother?

I said I'd donate to Eun-hye, not you.

I know. I'm just joking.

I'll just have to brace myself for it.

I can be a little poorer.

If I lose my job, then I'll just rest up.

Let's go, older brother.

This sprang from the assault case of the leader

of Incheon's environmental movement, Kim Jin-seh.

I've confirmed that the police had already obtained the video of the assault.

But why didn't they do anything about it?

There's no way.

I think you got the wrong facts.

The victim's family field a report.

And submitted a petition on the police's website,

which, of course, got deleted right away.

Maybe it's evidence that the police tried to bury the case.

Ms. Jin, then why would we have arrested the congressman's secretary?

We're doing our job.

Are you trying to make this seem bigger than it is by involving us in it?

I got a tip from within the organization.

Who?

I can't tell you that.

Anyway, this is a huge case.

The police will have to issue a statement about it.

The current Minister of Justice is involved in this case, right?

Did Editor Yoo tell you to do this?

To put the focus on the police to divert people's attention.

Isn't that it?

Are you saying Junghan Daily is biased?

This case can create a lot of misunderstandings.

I'm not saying I'm going to avoid all of them.

But you need to give us a chance to minimize the damage.

That way, we won't have any misunderstandings about Junghan Daily either.

The insider tip came from the auditing office.

I've given you a chance to save yourself from this.

You told him it came from the auditing office, right?

Yes.

It feels like I'm paying them back for what they did to you.

Am I wrong?

You're right.

You said it wasn't for a personal revenge.

Whatever it is, it still helps Detective Kang.

Are you sure that's your real goal?

It's not my real goal.

Rooting out the rotten people at the police.

That's my real goal.

I see.

Why did you get involved in this dangerous task?

Out of a sense of duty as a journalist.

To root out the evil in the society.

I'll see you later then.

I'll walk you to your car.

You don't have to do that.

It's boring to walk alone.

I have nothing else to do either.

All right then.

Don't you think we're kind of alike?

Yes.

I felt that too.

Should we just lose the honorifics then?

I'll do that if you promise to keep supplying me with information.

We're so alike.

Okay, got it.

I can just call you by your name from now on, right?

Yep.

Suh-kyung, why would you involve yourself in this?

I'm super stubborn.

If someone tells me not to do something, I'll do it even more.

I see.

What about you?

Me?

I just want to climb the ladder to the top.

I'm going to get rid of everyone standing in my way and get to the top.

I knew it.

Rooting out the rotten people in the police was all a lie, right?

Of course!

Firing a few people won't change the organization.

But I think this case will feel at least a little rewarding as an officer.

I don't know...

I don't know if it will feel rewarding as a journalist.

Like you said, this won't change people or the society.

I bought a luxury hand bag recently.

But it just sits at home.

I do that too.

I don't know why I bought it. I don't even carry it around.

But doesn't looking at it make you happy?

Yeah.

It's useless and I don't know why I even bought it,

but you know...

There's a luxury item that you want to treasure.

Maybe this case will become that luxury item for us.

It will make us happy every time we think about it.

Let's go.

What's going on? You're not drinking.

I'm guessing we're out of drinks?

I'm going to quit drinking.

You quit drinking?

It'd be easier for you to quit popping.

Why would you say that?

She made a big decision. You should be praising her for it.

That's how he normally talks.

Just let it go.

You're so mean.

Now I get why she has a hard time quitting drinking.

I would be drinking a lot too if I had to live with someone like that.

What's wrong with you?

What did I do?

Why are you so mean to your one and only sister?

I didn't really do anything—

I think he has a inferiority complex when it comes to me.

You're right.

You won a several gold medals.

And he only got one bronze medal, right?

That must be why.

What? That's not true.

Eun-hye, you're right.

I did win gold medals.

And you only won one bronze medal.

Is it a crime to be a good athlete?

Why are you guys ganging up against me?

Kang Eun-hee, what did you do to her?

I didn't do anything to her.

She gave me confidence.

I'm going to bring Jae-Hong back.

I really can't live without him.

If you don't want to see me kill myself, you should help too.

Got it?

We can't bring him here just because we want to...

There's a trial and—

What's the point of having trials?

It works in favor of people with power.

You still don't get that after what happened to my dad?

I need to talk to you.

Why are you getting her involved in our family's business?

Just talk to me here!

Eun-hye is part of the family now.

There's no need to hide anything.

What?

Family?

You said you'd keep Eun-hye by your side until you die.

So she's family now.

That's right. She's family.

That's what family means.

Living under one roof means we're family.

Let's eat.

- Eun-hee. - What?

Eun-hye.

Yes?

Let's live happily ever after.

Gross!

Thank you both so much.

I'm the one who should be thankful.

Thank you Eun-hye.

You too Eun-hee.

You better brace yourself.

There are two women in this house and only one man.

It doesn't matter.

My male hormones are decreasing.

We might end up with only women in this house.

You must be so proud of yourself.

MINISTER YOO JUNG-RYUL'S FORMER SECRETARY UNDER ARREST FOR SOLICITATION OF ASSAULT

Hey.

We could've just shared one issue.

Why did you guys each buy one?

It's to commemorate it!

We won't be able to work on such a big case again.

I'm going to pass this issue down to my future generations.

This is how amazing your ancestor was.

He locked up the Minister of Justice!

Aren't you guys worried?

I'm so nervous!

Do-Chang.

Is this really okay?

What do you mean?

All we did was arrest a criminal and make him confess to his crime.

That's right. We just did our job as policemen.

That's right. No need to overthink it.

We just did our job.

But it just so happens that the case is bigger than we expected.

We didn't do anything that's not under our jurisdiction.

I know, but...

You're scared it will bite us in the butt?

A Minister of Justice won't pay attention to people like us!

It will only humiliate them further if they try to mess with us!

The high officials will take care of it quickly on their own.

You guys need to calm down too.

This is nothing to boast about.

If you want to boast about something, let's go catch the killer.

Let's put the killer in prison and boast all we want.

- Okay? - Yes, sir!

If we try to hide it, they'll think that you set the whole thing up.

That's why we put your name on it.

I thought it'd be better to face it straight on.

Tell me the truth.

Did you know that Secretary Nam received money from Oh Jong-tae?

I was only told that Oh Jong-tae had donated money.

Then we can say that it was Secretary Nam's personal bribery.

Say that you'll only take political responsibility for it, not legal responsibility.

But you see...

Why did the police expose this now?

Incheon's west division arrested Secretary Nam.

They're the same ones who arrest Oh Jong-tae in front of me.

And they're the ones who found Jo Sung-gi's remains.

Why?

Why is it always them?

We're the only ones drawing the connection between those cases.

Everyone else will see them as separate cases.

Won't the truth come out someday?

We can worry about that later.

Let's take care of the urgent matter first.

Yes?

Okay, let them in.

A TV station is coming.

Let's talk more after my interview.

What's wrong with you?

What do you want?

Who are you?

The former secretary of Yoo Jung-ryul, the Minister of Justice,

was arrested for soliciting the assault that you just saw.

He's also charged with accepting bribery from a real estate

trust company that tried to disrupt the one man protest.

We will conduct an exclusive interview with Minister Yoo regarding this issue.

Hello Minister.

Hello.

I'm sure you've heard about the details of the case from the press.

How do you feel about the suspicion that you're involved in this case?

To be honest, I'm flustered.

But I promise to take responsibility for what I must be responsible for.

It sounds like you didn't know what your secretary was doing.

I'm sure the truth will come out through an investigation.

Some say that this has a hidden political motive with the elections coming up.

How do you feel about that?

This case has no political motive behind it whatsoever.

It was due to my incompetence.

I would like to apologize to the public.

It seems like this will put a lot of pressure on the police.

People are questioning whether the police will be

able to properly investigate a Minister of Justice.

I will not exert any influence as a Minister of Justice on the police investigation.

And I will not get involved in any way.

I will not take reports about the investigation either.

And I believe in the fairness of the police.

I will be looking forward to a proper investigation that follows every protocol.

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule.

There are speculations about the police burying the case.

The speculations are that the police purposefully ignored it when the victim,

Kim Jin-seh, the leader of Incheon's environmental movement, filed a report.

Some are speculating that a high police official was involved regarding this issue.

You saw the news, right?

Yes, I just watched it, sir.

The west division opened this case, right?

Yes.

Don't do anything about it.

Let them do what they need to do.

Make sure there are no talks about outside pressure.

Yes, sir.

The press will try to drag us for this.

I want your department to take care of that.

Excuse me, sir?

This has nothing to do with our department.

We need to have a high official take

responsibility for it to get things to quiet down.

The chief in charge of the case can take responsibility for it.

That would be Chief Moon Sang-bum!

The one you dismissed from his duties.

You think people will accept if you try to destroy someone you've already abandoned?

But why me?

This case was started by a whistle-blower.

And it came from the auditing office that manages the information about the police.

What?

Who would...

Why are you doing this to me?

- What do you mean? - The whistle-blower!

It was you, right?

Why are you dragging me in again?

You planned this with the west division to have me take the fall for this!

You planned all of it!

What's the point of asking about that now?

Just accept what your superiors tell you to do.

If you fight it, the path to the top will only get narrower for you.

What?

If I had met with Jo Sung-gi...

I would've done something to him too.

Don't make rash judgments.

There's no proof that I killed Jo Sung-gi.

What should we do?

You choose.

What?

Tell the truth about what happened and receive the punishment.

If you're not going to do that, then keep telling them that you didn't do it.

I'll do whatever it takes to bury it.

You've aged.

Jung-suk.

I'll accept whatever choice you make.

Everything started because of me.

Why did you get so weak?

How are you going to be in politics if you're going to overreact over this?

I'm not afraid to give up everything.

Stop with the nonsense and go get some rest.

Your sense of judgment isn't as sharp as it used to be.

Jung-suk!

You need to make a choice before it's too late.

That will save the both of us.

Just go on your own separate path.

That's what I need.

I'm not afraid to give up everything.

Stop with the nonsense and go get some rest.

Your sense of judgment isn't as sharp as it used to be.

Jung-suk!

You need to make a choice before it's too late.

That will save the both of us.

Just go on your own separate path.

That's what I need.

I got a call from Lieutenant Yoon earlier.

Director Ko is going to step down from his position from the auditing office.

There's no one in the police who can stop you or Detective Kang now.

Yeah.

Things are going so smoothly.

Minister Yoo has also promised to not get involved.

So we won't have any outside pressure.

That will naturally get rid of Oh Jong-tae's shield.

All we have left is my boss, right?

But that will be even more difficult.

It will be really hard to find proof of Jo Sung-gi's murder.

We can only hope for Mr. Yoo's confession...

He won't do it, right?

Do you still think that he also killed Detective Jang?

Yoo Jung-suk and Nam Gook-hyun. It will be one of those two.

They both have clear motives.

My boss killing Jo Sung-gi...

Yeah, I get that.

He drove his one and only sister to her death.

But I don't know about Detective Jang.

I don't think he would do that.

He used the audio recording to drive an innocent man to his execution.

In order to bury the murder he committed.

He offered a hand to Oh Jong-tae even though he

knew he was the real killer for the same reason.

Wouldn't it be more despicable if the did all those things when he didn't kill anyone?

It's going to get even harder to trust people from now on.

OH JONG-TAE

Hello Minister.

Hello.

Is now a good time to talk?

Please go ahead.

What you said on the news today bothered me.

I understand the position you're in,

but you remember the promise you made me, right?

You had that in mind during your interview, right?

I never promised you anything.

Minister.

As you saw on the news,

I won't get involved with the police's investigation on you.

Let me give you a last piece of advice.

You will end up paying for whatever you did.

And the longer you try to hang on to me, the more your sentence will increase.

Minister.

This will harm your brother greatly.

Are you okay with that?

I'm hanging up.

I won't be speaking to you again.

He wants us to go down together?

No, not me.

I don't have to go down with you guys.

Nothing is stopping us now.

As you said, all I have to do is keep pushing forward.

I told you.

You need to solve it before the new chief comes in.

The new chief will try to stop you guys.

You need to hurry up and close the case before he does.

Okay.

Thanks.

Yeah.

They wouldn't let us go this easily.

Prosecutor.

It's only been two days since we arrested Secretary Nam!

We haven't even finished writing up our report!

Can you hold off on taking him?

Those bastards...

We did all the work, but they're trying to take credit for it.

He can hear you!

Even the Minister of Justice said that he trusts our investigation!

Let me talk to him.

Why?

I have to tell him something.

Whatever. Here.

This is Kang Do-Chang from violent crimes.

We'll hand over Mr. Nam to you.

Yes.

In exchange, get us an arrest warrant.

If you get us that, we'll leave you guys to do whatever you want to do with Mr. Nam.

Who are you guys?

Hey!

Get out of here!

Get out!

Get out!

I said you need to leave!

We have a search and seizure warrant.

This is Junghan Daily!

Are you guys out of your mind? You think you can handle the consequences?

If you keep getting in our way, we'll arrest you for obstruction of justice.

You really want to do this?

You guys are way out of line!

This isn't right. Please go back to your station.

The warrant isn't for Junghan Daily.

It's a personal search and seizure warrant for Editor Yoo Jung-suk.

He's being charged with murder.

- What? - Murder?

Let them pass!

I will only permit to the seizure of things that are related to the case.

I'm warning you.

You should be careful with this.

What should we do?

Should we confront them?

It's a personal matter. Just let it pass.

Boss.

Shouldn't you explain yourself to us?

Why does Junghan Daily need to get humiliated like this?

What do I need to explain?

The truth.

The truth?

I...

only killed someone who deserves to die.

THE GOOD DETECTIVE

Just go in for conspiring to commit murder. That's your best option.

I don't get it. Why do people like you do this to me?

I have evidence that proves Yoo Jung-suk killed both Jang Jin-su and Jo Sung-gi.

You murderer...

If you spot him before I get there, read him his charge and arrest him.

Let me just go quietly today.

Nam Gook-hyun might be right.

We can only depend on Yoo Jung-suk's conscience.

What's the real truth?

Junghan Daily will only publish the facts.

I believe I still have some work to finish.

I'm going to give you a big gift.

Where can I get the gift?

I'm your gift.

I'm the gift for you.
