ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, LOCATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

-Oh, really? -Go to Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial

-Hey! -Police Agency immediately.

They will give you a file.

And don't open it.

She asked why you chose this place as your next stop.

It's under seven percent. Must we be whipped around like this?

Mr. Lee has notified us of a bylaw amendment.

I think you should meet the CEO of Sungmoon Daily.

How dare he sue me?

It'll only take a minute.

I'm certain she's not here on her own.

Whether it's for the director or for Choi Bit, she brought something.

Find out what it is.

You were directly involved in covering up Assemblyman Nam's corruption.

That's why you had to run here yourself,

while the director who was sued didn't.

Chief Choi Bit sent me.

HAN YEO-JIN, INTELLIGENCE BUREAU INVESTIGATIVE STRUCTURE REFORMATION UNIT

And don't open it.

Just bring it, all right?

-You looked inside the envelope, right? -No.

But why aren't you asking any questions?

I'll tell you later.

That envelope she was holding. Find out what it is.

There are 3,400 intelligence police officers in this small country.

And intel they gather every day

all goes to Choi Bit.

Even the intel regarding surveillance and national security.

INVESTIGATION DIVISION

I'm sorry.

May I help you?

Sir, where do you need to go?

I, too, would like to know the answer.

Pardon me?

PROSECUTOR SEO DONG-JAE

Hello.

So she wasn't running away.

-Pardon? -Han Yeo-jin asked me earlier today

why I thought I should visit Anyang Correctional Institution next.

What do you think she meant?

You mean Officer Kim Su-hang?

Hello?

Hey, how did you know?

If we shouldn't have visited Anyang after seeing Captain Baek,

it would mean there was someone else who holds the key to the case.

And that was after we met with Captain Baek,

so the only person who can be that crucial in the case

is Officer Kim, the guy who first found Sergeant Song dead.

No, that's not what I'm talking about.

Officer Kim's uncle is the former chief of Dongducheon Police Station.

We must get him first. But there's no address, which is even more suspicious.

Wouldn't the police be able to track him down faster?

Han Yeo-jin can't beat us to it again.

Just wait and see who finds him first, okay?

PROSECUTOR SEO DONG-JAE

ASSISTANT CHIEF SIM UI-SEOP

Yes, sir.

Mr. Seo, can you meet me now?

Of course! Where are you, sir?

I'm at a karaoke lounge now.

I need you to come. You didn't drink, right?

Even if I did, I'd be more than happy to drink more with you, sir.

I'm not calling you for a drink.

I'm at the reunion. They want to go for another round of drinks.

Most of the guys from the office are here,

and none of them is sober enough to drive.

So you need me to drive?

Sure. No problem, sir. I'll be there right away.

Damn it.

This place is usually busy.

I had them empty the place.

How have you been?

You know how I've been doing.

Or shall I say, "I'm sure you've heard everything"?

Why did you ask to meet me when you clearly know who my source is?

I was curious when it was that you completely lost your business ethics.

You're not supposed to buy out your competitor's shares.

-What's your ulterior motive? -There's no ulterior motive.

It's just an investment.

As you know, Hanjo's stock prices hit rock bottom a while back.

But I knew it'd never go belly up as it was still a leading company.

And I was right. The stock prices keep going up,

and it's not like I'm in urgent need of cash.

That's why I haven't sold them.

Do you think I didn't buy Sungmoon's stock because I have no money?

That's what I've been hearing.

Of course, I'm sure your funds haven't actually dried up.

You're suing the government saying that you can't afford to pay the fines.

So if you spend a fortune just to protect your management rights,

the government will want to audit you again.

I'm sure it's tough to act like you're financially struggling.

Let's just drink. It's been a while.

Okay, let's drink first.

What do you want me to do?

What do you mean?

How much longer are you going to side with Sung-jae?

Sung-jae and I were always close.

And even if we weren't, I'd try to befriend him

because he'll soon become the chairman of Hanjo.

-What about me? -What about you?

How about you tell me what you want me to do?

I want you to treat me as an entrepreneur.

Like you said, the company had hit rock bottom.

I'm not just talking about Hanjo's stock prices or public image.

The actual numbers plunged after my father was arrested.

Our profits dropped to a third of what they used to be,

and it was hard to secure liquidity, but I revived the company.

-And look where it is now. -I know.

The first quarter's total operating profit was 4,32 trillion won.

It's the highest since Q2 of 2015,

including the years when my father was at the company.

Chairwoman Lee.

"That bitch needs a lesson

so that she won't hurt the dignity of other chairwomen."

"She got the position out of pity because her husband died

and her father is in prison, so she'd better know her place."

"She must love to watch dramas, so she thinks running a company is easy.

What's next? Dating an executive director who's younger than her?"

-Enough. -"I don't get it.

Must we side with her just because she's a woman?"

"Resign before the foreign investors laugh at you

and you ruin the country's reputation."

I said, enough. Why read those useless comments?

They were posted under your articles!

Under the article about how I colluded with my husband

to oust my father and take over the company.

It's just nonsense spewed by clueless idiots. Why let it get to you?

You said it's an investment.

Then it has to be profitable.

Treat me as an entrepreneur and evaluate my ability as one

to decide whether Sungmoon Daily should join hands with me

or continue to side with Sung-jae.

Make a wise decision as the CEO of a company.

As an entrepreneur, I'd say your lips are too red.

Tell me about my father's condition.

Tell me about his condition.

Just leave the car there. I'll drive Ms. Lee home.

Do you want to go back?

To the time

when all you had to do was be there for your husband.

There's a moment

I want to go back to.

When is it?

I've heard that my father

has anger issues.

Caused by a mix of depression and misanthropic tendencies,

he can't control his anger.

He used to be good at keeping his composure.

I guess he felt that his arrest was extremely unfair.

What can we do to make people see that?

If we want to reveal to others that he's not well…

Should we provoke him?

I feel bad.

Take pictures of how my father is doing.

Him throwing and breaking things or swearing at people.

It'd be best to capture a moment

when he's furious while Sung-jae is present.

I'm sure he goes out once in a while.

I want to know which doctor is visiting him

and what prescriptions he's receiving. Find out everything.

Yes, ma'am.

An investigation that was conducted fairly is being used as a political tool

just because of the current conflict over investigative authority.

The acquittal means that the prosecution agrees with Assembly Nam Jae-ik's claim

that the police had conducted a biased investigation.

Is the prosecution really capable of making a reasoned judgment?

Due to these allegations,

-Assemblyman Nam Jae-ik… -What's with him? Why is he going bonkers?

It's all for show.

I guess Chief Choi gave Nam Jae-ik a good beating.

With what, though?

What intel could someone like Prosecutor Hwang get from the police?

He won't even be able to say a thing.

Give me a break.

Hey, he gave me an earful at the National Assembly earlier.

You should've seen it.

He practically scolded me.

Right, I know he's good at lecturing people.

Han Yeo-jin would be betraying her boss and leaking police intel if she helped,

so he'll have to beg her.

Even to a friend…

No. It's not something you'd tell anyone, even your spouse.

What's taking him so long?

SUWON DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

PROSECUTOR HWANG SI-MOK

I was told that someone from the Supreme Prosecutors' Office showed up

despite not receiving any notices electronically.

That's why I asked to see you.

Yes. Since I didn't need any copies of the documents,

I thought it'd be okay to skip that.

I just need to check a few things in there.

You wouldn't be here at this hour if it were actually that simple.

Should I call the prosecutor in charge?

No, it's okay. I just need to check a few records.

We need to inform him that the Supreme Prosecutors' Office viewed his reports.

Let me put you through to him. What's it about?

Well, there are 19 cases in total.

You said "a few things."

Right. It's 12 cases by Criminal Division One,

and three cases by Division Two and Three, including real estate and arson cases.

And four cases handled by the divisions

in charge of major financial crimes and industrial crimes.

That's the list I got from looking up the court's decisions.

I may have to view some of the reports that predate these.

What is it that you're looking for?

I'll tell you when I find it, sir.

Go to the fourth floor of the other building.

The room where they store the trial records.

No, it's likely that the cases didn't go to trial.

Who's your chief again?

It's Chief Woo Tae-ha, sir.

ASSISTANT CHIEF PROSECUTOR KIM WON-TAE

Hello? I'm calling from the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office.

Is Chief Woo Tae-ha in the office at the moment?

Yes, please.

Hello. I'm Kim Won-tae from Criminal Division One

at Suwon Prosecutors' Office.

Prosecutor Hwang Si-mok is here now.

He wants to view our case reports.

Please let him know that it's for what he mentioned earlier today.

Apparently, it's for something you mentioned earlier today.

But he won't even tell me what it's about.

Okay.

Got it.

Go to the archive storage.

I'll let the staff know.

Thank you, sir.

Could you find these ones here? I'll look for the rest.

2018, CASE NUMBER 938

PROSECUTOR HWANG SI-MOK

Hello, Mr. Hwang.

Hello, Ms. Han. Can we meet now?

Where are you?

You said you now live near Namsan,

so I'm headed there now.

Are you busy tomorrow morning?

If you can't meet me now,

we can just talk over the phone.

I'll text you my address.

COPYING FILES

Last summer, five men in their 20s were charged

with illegally filming people in a changing room at a vacation spot.

Just after this past New Year's Day,

they conducted a crackdown on DUI's in accident-prone areas

and arrested 37 people in total.

Is it one of them?

Which precinct?

Gyeonggi Nambu Police Agency.

Or is it this?

This February, Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police Agency

apprehended a drug dealer.

Thanks to his tips, a number of people

including office workers and instructors were arrested for using illicit drugs.

If Nambu Police Agency had handled a case

that was big enough to pressure someone who's currently serving as an assemblyman,

it would've been all over the news, right?

It's a case that hardly made any news.

A case that never went to trial and was quickly forgotten about.

As for the five men who partook in illegal filming,

Nambu Provincial Police Agency only wanted to indict two of them

despite clear evidence and sent the rest of them

to Suwon District Prosecutors' Office, exempting them from indictment.

Could Assemblyman Nam's son have been one of them?

But if you think about it,

even if Assemblyman Nam's son was exempted from indictment,

his name had to be included in the police report,

so it'd be impossible for the prosecution to not know about it.

Perhaps Assemblyman Nam was caught during the DUI crackdown.

In that case, the police could've removed his name from their report.

But would an assemblyman who is also the chairman

of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee feel threatened by a DUI charge?

When an assemblyman is threatening to sue

the Police Intelligence Bureau's director of all people.

Do you think a DUI charge is big enough?

What if his son was involved?

His illegal employment had already stirred up controversy,

but what if he also did drugs?

The dealer who was arrested

had multiple drug smuggling charges prior to his arrest.

But the people who were arrested following his confession have all been

"insurance," shall I say?

They were all small fish who could easily be sold off to the detectives.

No VIPs.

I didn't know about those cases.

So it's not one of those cases?

I guess I should do another search.

I've only made it to last year's reports.

I'll do another search.

How far back are you planning to search?

I don't know.

Why did you come to me?

You should've gone to see your boss.

Nam Jae-ik clearly committed the crime of bribery to get his son the job.

And the police didn't cover it up for him.

So why was he acquitted?

You should've met with your boss and asked him about it first.

I did ask him about it.

I didn't.

I didn't ask her about today,

and I won't ask her tomorrow.

You don't draw these days?

When I saw that the restriction line was gone,

I thought an accident might happen.

But I just drove by that spot,

without doing anything about it.

Why?

It was very foggy and dark.

I thought, "Only those who want to die would go into the water on a day like this

and even the restriction line wouldn't stop them."

I remember thinking that for a moment.

Didn't that thought make you think you should do something about it?

I can't prevent every suicide.

But it turned out it wasn't suicide.

Right.

I knew that something had gone wrong.

I could see something was wrong,

but I did nothing.

Are you trying to say

that it is our duty to keep an eye on those restriction lines?

I guess you could say that.

No matter how hard you look, you can't stop a fog.

And no matter how many criminals you catch, they never disappear.

If I catch one here,

two others pop up in a different place.

Is that why you left the Violent Crimes Division?

I didn't leave. My desk is still there.

Right.

Mr. Hwang.

You already have the answer.

I should go to bed.

Staying up won't change anything.

KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY

DIRECTOR KIM MYEONG-HAN

Was a new director appointed?

Do you need to talk to the new Director?

You weren't here yet

a year and a half ago, right?

Why are you asking about a year and a half ago?

Assemblyman Nam's son failed the screening test,

but he was hired at a bank when the competition rate was 193 to 1.

That's before you became a Chief of the Intelligence Bureau.

Yes, I was at Namyangju Police Station.

Yes. So you probably weren't aware of how the Police HQ

would deal with an assemblyman

suspected of bribery for illegal hiring.

But you were here on February 7th this year.

This is where all the intel from police investigations end up.

February 7th.

Are you asking if I knew about the drug dealer?

Yes.

You said you didn't look.

You said you didn't look inside.

I hadn't when you asked me yesterday.

I believed I had to get it to you quickly,

so I didn't stall.

You made a copy.

So you saw it after we left?

You wanted me to see it.

That's not how I remember it.

It was just a USB flash drive.

If there was some sort of a document,

your words would've made sense.

Because I could have read some kind of confidential info.

But it was a flash drive.

I could have just brought in my hand.

-And don't open it. -"Don't open it."

-Just bring it, alright? -"Just bring it."

You said those words on purpose.

You told me not to do something when you didn't need to

because you knew I'd look.

Then why did you do as I intended?

Why did you drag me into this?

You were closest to the Gyeonggi Nambu station.

You were in Anyang.

The reformation unit is just a temporary team.

It will disband as soon as we gain independent investigative rights.

Ms. Han. Have you thought about what would happen after that?

Even after the reformation unit disbands,

I'll still be here.

Where would you be?

At a crime scene.

Ms. Han.

In my time, we didn't have many opportunities.

But what I find more unfortunate is

how capable people lack ambitions.

You know too many people are in line for promotions.

And is this your way of solving those problems?

By giving me a preferential treatment?

Is committing crimes considered being ambitious?

What was I supposed to do?

The prosecution's bossed us around for 70 years.

We were about to be freed,

but then a former prosecutor became the committee chairman.

No bill can be forwarded without the consent of the committee chairman.

There's no point in fighting for us

if they can just refuse to consent on forwarding the bill.

Our higher-ups tried so hard to place someone on our side there.

Wouldn't they have done the same?

Do you think they put someone under investigation for bribes on that seat

because they were stupid?

The Supreme Prosecutors' Office was sending a message

to both Nam Jae-ik and the police.

To Nam Jae-ik,

"We'll protect you, so do as we say."

And to us, "There's no point investigating him.

We're not charging him." That's what they told us.

But if we didn't charge him,

we would have been the ones to receive criticism because the investigation began

because of a public outrage.

Then we got a call from the Gyeonggi Nambu station.

That a drug dealer who was arrested

mentioned Nam Jae-ik's son.

What would you have done if you were in my place?

I would've had him arrested.

That won't remove him from the position.

We'd only become his sworn enemies

and we'd never be able to gain independent investigative rights.

I was working at Yongsan Police Station.

Itaewon is in our jurisdiction, so we deal with the most drug crimes in the nation.

The drug dealers never reveal the name's of their VIP's.

It's an unspoken rule.

The drug dealers give away the small fries,

and the police get performance records,

and the VIP's pay the dealers for their time served and their lawyers.

An assemblyman's son would be a VIP.

Are you sure the dealer gave his name voluntarily?

Do you think we've lied to falsely accuse the assemblyman's son?

Nam Jae-ik's son had already been doing drugs,

and the Intelligence Bureau knew that.

Right after Nam Jae-ik was chosen as the chairman,

Nambu Station arrested the dealer.

And you're saying the police kept quiet about it?

That's right. So what?

Are you going to blow the whistle? What then?

Are you going to let him go?

So this job-stealing meth addict is going to remain untouchable?

Who said I'm just letting him go?

You know that no one stops doing drugs after the first time.

The chair changes in six months.

You can catch him once Nam Jae-ik steps down.

Will you ruin something we've waited 70 years for

because you can't wait a few months?

If your conscience is really bothering you,

and if you feel that distressed,

go ahead and blow the whistle.

I can't stop you from doing what you think is right.

Go for it.

Intelligence police reports are confidential.

Whoever the new Director is, I have to act as one until they come.

In several years,

you could be the one sitting here.

I thought I had finally found the right person…

I wasn't dragging you into this.

I was trying to guide you.

Set your own goals.

Why do you have to read the reports in this room?

You can read them at your desk since you know the password.

You don't know what it's really like to be dragged into things.

What you've experienced is nothing at all.

His lousy son just had to do drugs.

He's on the police's side now.

What else did Ms. Han say?

She didn't give me any info.

Not officially, of course. I won't tell Chief Choi. Don't worry.

No, I started the research at the Nambu station.

She didn't tell me about it.

How did you know that?

It said Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police Agency on the envelope.

Oh, right. What about Seo Dong-jae?

He's looking for a former officer from Segok Police Station.

He believes he could be the prime suspect, and not the Captain.

The second council meeting's set for next Thursday.

The location and members are the same. Be prepared.

-What? -Nothing, sir.

I'll get ready for the meeting.

I never thought you'd actually put in a word for me.

Thanks.

Prosecutor Hwang.

Do you have hidden connections?

Pardon?

Tell me if you do. I should make sure I don't step on something I shouldn't.

I don't.

Whose car was that, then?

What car?

I didn't tell Chief Woo,

but I saw you.

Saw what?

You, getting into a luxury sedan in front of our office. Who was it?

There was even an attendant.

Well, that was someone I don't need to tell you about.

You shouldn't act like that already.

What are you talking about?

You really don't know?

Don't you know why we picked you?

We picked you for your image.

You just said "we."

What do you mean?

I mean, you were picked after I came to the Criminal Legislation Division.

And you were chosen among several candidates.

But you just said "we," so…

I guess you were already decided as a member beforehand

since you two were in the same class.

So what? What if I was?

Anyway, you can report it to Chief Woo.

Why are you staring at me like that?

Do you have a problem?

Well… Aren't you going to go inside?

What's wrong with him?

Who? Did someone tell you off at lunch?

Who would even do that?

We were there to help each other out.

I heard Son Gi-hyeok didn't come.

He sent me a text saying he couldn't make it.

It doesn't matter.

It's not like he'd go against us during the monthly meeting.

Oh, and the eastern office agreed to keep pace with us

regarding the investigation on Hanjo.

Did Kang Won-chul agree?

I said that it's nice to have performance records

for investigating the wealthy, but we need to let people see us

taking care of political issues. I suggested taking our time on the case,

so they'll realize the prosecution

should keep investigative rights. I think they got the idea.

-Why are you upset, then? -Because of Kang Won-chul.

I could see why you aren't that fond of him.

He's a bit stiff, isn't he?

Well, yes…

Are they all like that?

What do you mean, "they"?

The people from the western office.

How's Prosecutor Hwang doing?

Pardon?

Oh, yes.

He's not just there for your team's image, right?

Using him like that could cause trouble.

I'll make sure he won't get in any trouble.

I mean it'll cause trouble for the ones using him for his image.

You have to use him wisely.

Why would we be troubled because of a mere prosecutor?

If that's what you think, then…

I don't know why, but he's kind of annoying.

But I thought about what he said,

and it could be that Prosecutor Hwang has some hidden connections.

That's ridiculous.

Well, he does whatever he wants without thinking about the higher-ups.

He might have really special connections. So I asked him if he did, and…

You asked that to his face? So what did he say?

He could just say no if he doesn't have any.

In my day, we had to be on our hands and knees whenever a Chief was around.

He talked back to me from beginning to end.

I know young prosecutors these days are different from us,

but he's especially strange.

You didn't know?

I noticed that when he went on TV before.

-Why did you bring him then? -I thought he enjoyed getting attention.

I thought, "Maybe he wants to be a politician later.

Okay, I'll let you have the press. Give us your image in return."

I wanted to use him like that.

It's not that easy to become an assemblyman.

In the old days, if a senior brought a junior to work at the Supreme Office,

they'd be thanking their senior non-stop.

Do you like having your juniors suck up to you?

Well, not really.

But you know what's funny?

If one junior is standing stiff

while all the others are bowing,

I admit that it gets on my nerves.

I'm sure he doesn't have any great connections though.

I guess not then.

I feel like I'm serving two bosses.

It's me, Assemblyman Nam.

Did things settle down a bit?

Should I come and see you now?

I found the doctor,

but he refused to cooperate.

I hacked into the hospital records

and found that the former chairman has intermittent explosive disorder.

"Intermittent"?

How intermittent would it be?

We'd have to make him explode to find out.

Maken an announcement

that I will attend the shareholders' meeting

if Sung-jae and my father attend the meeting in person as well.

That I will welcome them myself.

And…

What else…

I need protesters.

Before the shareholders' meeting? Where should I place them?

There. In front of this building.

I don't care if they shout or fight.

Let's welcome my father with them.

I'll place the protesters.

"It has been revealed that the former chairman of Hanjo Group, Lee Yun-beom,

currently has anger management issues,

having difficulty in controlling his emotions."

What condition is my father in?

Did you call me to ask that?

Is his depression that severe?

Did Sung-jae tell you that he has depression?

He won't tell me anything.

I can't visit him, but I have ears, you know.

I thought maybe you would've visited him after he was released.

Anger issues.

He has trouble controlling his anger.

"Anger issues"?

He sometimes bursts out in anger

and throws things.

I heard he can't control his emotions.

And he has mood swings too.

"According to a source close to him,

he displays violent behaviors

by throwing things or bursting out in anger."

"A source close to him"?

"Between the siblings, Lee Sung-jae seems to have the upper hand

with the former chairman on his back,

but since there are suspicions that Lee Yun-beom lacks the mental capacity,

it is unclear as to who will become the chairperson

-of Hanjo Group." -A criminal becoming the chairman?

-A criminal should not -A criminal should not

-return to the company! -return to the company!

We demand that Hanjo does what's right!

-We demand that Hanjo -We demand that Hanjo

-does what's right! -does what's right!

A criminal should not return to the company!

A criminal should not

-return to the company! -What is all this?

-We demand that Hanjo does what's right! -Someone is here!

-Is it not him? -I don't think it's him.

-Let's gather and continue! -Jeez.

-Hello. -I'm attending the meeting.

I'm sorry, sir. But you have to get out of your car for safety reasons.

What do you mean?

The protesters tried to sneak into the parking lot

so we had to close it off.

If you give us your key, we'll park it for you.

-Here. -Thank you.

He evaded taxes, embezzled money,

-and went to prison for it! -"Safety reasons"?

She's just trying to humiliate her father in public.

It's typical of someone who's wealthy.

A criminal should not return to the company!

-A criminal should not… -A criminal should not…

Someone's here!

It must be him!

Is it him?

Is it Lee Yun-beom?

A criminal shouldn't run the company!

A criminal shouldn't return to the company!

Stay out of Hanjo Group!

The former chairman and Mr. Lee Sung-jae

both announced they'll send their representatives.

Mr. Lee's candidate turned out to be

the former chairman Lee Yun-beom as expected.

Tell the protesters to be quiet.

Hanjo Engineering's vice-president, Park Yong-bok.

HANJO GROUP GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING

The meeting just started.

Hanjo Group Planning and Coordination Office,

executive director Jang In-tae.

HANJO MOTORS REPRESENTATIVE

Next is Sungmoon Daily's representative,

-lawyer Jeon Ji-won. -Kim Byung-hyun of Sungmoon

also sent a representative.

For the first agenda, we will present

Hanjo Motors shareholder Lee Sung-jae's bylaw amendment.

I have something to say about the agenda.

HANJO MOTORS SHAREHOLDER LEE SUNG-JAE'S BYLAW AMENDMENT

The amendment won't help us or the group. He just notified us without even asking--

Hey! What are you talking about?

I'm talking right now. I have the right to speak!

Please be quiet. We'll let you all speak in turn.

So please wait for your turn.

I was just given the right to speak.

This is exactly what the chairman wanted!

-How the hell would you know? -What did you just say?

-Hey! Stop that! -Shut up!

We'll take a 10-minute break.

This is unbelievable!

There will be a vote on whether to elect a new chairperson,

and if it's approved,

the new chairperson will be elected right away.

Okay.

If the former chairman is going to attend,

-Yes. -he'll come after it's approved.

-If the amendment is rejected, -Okay.

it could be humiliating for him.

You have to decide now, sir.

The key will be where Sungmoon Daily's seven percent,

his 12,11 million shares, will go.

What do you want me to do?

SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING FIRST AGENDA

SHAREHOLDER: KIM BYUNG-HYUN

SERIAL NUMBER

Ms. Lee, I'm sure there will be good news. I'm rooting for you!

Call me anytime when things have calmed down.

There was one more.

ASSEMBLYMAN NAM JAE-IK

Chief Choi Bit must've sat here.

And Ms. Han here.

And the file they got from Nambu Station

would've been here.

I believe it happened in early February.

Chief Choi's brought in something fresh.

Do you really think the police let the children from rich families go

because they can't investigate properly?

We've kept an eye on your son for a long time,

so we have plenty of evidence.

But I didn't think I'd be seeing you this soon.

I was planning on visiting you around the time the committee is held.

Are you talking about my son? That's nonsense.

She's outside. Ask her to come in.

Since you're our senior, and I know you're an unwavering person,

so I'm sure the committee won't fall into the police's hands because of it.

But I've become so worrisome as I aged.

Chief Woo.

Yes, sir.

It was the same for you. It was your wife, wasn't it?

You have nothing to do with it, right?

What do you mean, sir?

You mentioned early February, so I just remembered something.

Rumors spread about cryptocurrency exchanges being closed

back then.

No, wait.

People in our field knew about it beforehand.

All the insiders knew a long time before it was on the news.

We knew the Ministry of Justice was planning

on closing them, and that cryptocurrency values would plummet.

So you withdrew beforehand.

Did you sell everything?

Of course, I'm sure you've covered up all the traces.

A prosecutor can't be caught for cryptocurrency speculation.

But the thing is,

regular folks who lost all their money because they didn't know about it,

if they find out that a chief at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office

used his wife to pull out because of an inside intel,

will they forgive you?

What will happen if people who lost everything find out?

They will stone you.

You shouldn't think that all us assemblymen do is waste taxes.

Isn't it only fair that I let the police know

what we've talked about in here since you've found out

what they were here for?

I should tell them about the cryptocurrency exchange

for it to be fair for both sides.

A prosecutor involved in speculation?

Nothing like that's ever happened, sir.

That's right.

Sir, Prosecutor Ryu got a call

about Assemblyman Nam.

From where? The police?

The Supreme Prosecutors' Office. Prosecutor Hwang.

Why is that name popping up again?

He asked if Prosecutor Ryu was the one

in charge of Assemblyman Nam's hiring bribe case

at the Seongnam Branch Office,

then said he'd come in person.

Hey, no. Tell him not to come.

You told him not to, right?

Well, I did,

but Prosecutor Ryu said it didn't seem like he'd listen.

Jeez.

Alright. I'll take care of it.

Yes, sir.

When will he ever change?

Yes, Chief Prosecutor.

Are you at work or at home?

I'm at the dormitory.

The dorm? Why would you…

Anyway, I need to see you for a moment.

-Right now? -We're not going to drink, so just come.

I'll send you the address.

Yes, sir.

It seems pretty recent.

There's nothing else. This is all we could find.

-Run the plate number. -Yes, sir.

My goodness.

Can you run a plate number for me?

It's 43 J 5827.

What's this?

What?

-Hey, isn't this… -Yes, sir?

-Is the owner… -Captain.

I think this is his car.

-Is it really his? -Yes.

What is it? Whose is it?

You know, Prosecutor Seo Dong-jae.

SEO DONG-JAE SUPREME PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

STRANGER 2

What do you mean? Are you sure he's missing?

-A kidnapping? -It seems like it.

If they chose that place intentionally,

they must know the neighborhood.

Maybe she's hardened because she's a prosecutor's wife.

Why were you trying to meet Prosecutor Seo?

-Did he not answer? Or was his phone off? -Are you interrogating me?

One of the numbers

on his call history seemed to be yours.

It doesn't matter if he's a prosecutor.

Are you in contact with Hanjo Group by any chance?

Where were you last night?

The Uijeongbu Office could be the beginning.
