(and incidents in this drama are fictitious.)

Thanks to you, I recovered completely.

Thank you, Suk-gyu.

Congratulations.

- Let's have a toast. - Cheers.

Cheers.

I heard in the hospital that you two

already hung out without me.

We just ran into each other

and had a meal and a drink.

Sure. It was a coincidence.

You two are acting strange.

What are you saying?

Bottoms up.

Hey. Let me see your arm.

What happened to it?

Let me see.

You had bruises the other day too. They're bigger this time.

What happened?

She became a junkie while she was trying to catch junkies.

- Min-ho. - What are you saying?

Then you should tell the Company and go into rehab.

Do you think the Company will help her?

They'll fire her.

That's ridiculous.

It happened while working for the government. They can't do that.

Why are you so naive?

Why should I care?

I need to take a leak.

What are you doing? Drink it.

What? Are you worried about me?

Suk-gyu. Are you okay?

I'm sometimes confused about who I am.

Go Yoon-joo?

Kim Do-hee?

I'm Go Yoon-joo, right?

Not Kim Do-hee, but Go Yoon-joo.

You drank too much.

Let's go.

Stop drinking.

Wait. What's wrong?

Wait.

I'm sorry.

You're drunk, aren't you?

Can you please hug me once?

Oh, no. Yoon-joo.

Yoon-joo.

Yoon-joo.

Be careful.

Be careful, Yoon-joo.

Hold on.

Shall we date?

Go to sleep.

Don't go.

I'm sorry.

Why are you following me, you pervert?

If you like me, say so.

Instead of sneaking a peek.

Wait. Wait a minute.

Wait and listen.

Go Yoon-joo.

It's you, right?

Lee Suk-gyu?

It's been a long time.

(Random)

Why are you here?

Did you keep in touch with Min-ho?

Why are you asking me that?

Why did you go to the place where he died?

Min-ho didn't kill himself, right?

Are you

still with those jerks?

You guys killed him, didn't you?

"You guys"?

Who are you talking about?

Are you pretending not to know anything?

No. I really don't know anything.

(Random)

Darn it.

What?

Darn it. I'll pay it.

Why would I not pay a small sum of money

that I spent at an internet cafe?

If you call me again,

I'll smash your head with that phone!

Get lost

or I'll smash your head too.

Yoon-joo. Who on earth are they?

Is that your lackey?

(Episode 5)

Mr. Do. These are pictures I just took.

This crazy jerk.

He's still clearly out of his mind.

Jeez.

What is this?

Go Yoon-joo.

Cha Min-ho.

Go Yoon-joo. Cha Min-ho.

Random Internet Cafe.

(Random Internet Cafe)

(Random Internet Cafe. Yeongdeungpo Branch)

(Random Internet Cafe, Yeongdeungpo Branch)

Hello? Is this Random Internet Cafe?

I'm looking for someone.

Her name is Go Yoon-joo.

(Sindaebang Branch)

Hello? Is this Random Internet Cafe?

I'm looking for someone.

It's a woman named Go Yoon-joo.

(Attorney Choi Yeon-soo's Office)

(Detective Jung Chul-hoon, Investigation Unit)

(Attorney Choi Yeon-soo)

Hello? This is Jung Chul-hoon.

Hello, Detective Jung.

It's me. Attorney Choi Yeon-soo.

- The person you've dialed... - Jeez.

(Jung Chul-hoon)

Hey. Why won't Jung Chul-hoon answer his phone?

Should I switch with him?

No. Go watch him.

If he does something strange,

- report to me right away. - Yes, sir.

Gosh, that annoying jerk.

(Cha Min-ho)

(Cha Min-ho)

(A-3, Chungmuro Station, Password 0913)

Oh!

I went to this place a few days ago.

- What? - I almost caught the man

who took an envelope out of this locker.

When?

I heard it was empty. Are you sure?

Yes, I'm dead sure. I was...

What about his face?

Did you see it?

The train has just left.

The train has just left.

No, I didn't see it clearly.

I missed him by a second.

Then,

it's highly likely that he's the culprit.

He's certainly the culprit.

Yes, he's the one.

We need to check all the CCTV footage to catch him.

Do you want to come with me?

It's this room, sir.

What's going on?

Is he not here yet?

Boy.

You're already here, Mr. Park.

You could've just called me.

It wasn't something I could say over the phone.

Let's go in.

What is the important matter?

You're busy, aren't you?

You're well aware of it.

Let's get down to business. Cha Min-ho.

He left something before he died.

What is it?

Come on. We're not just business partners.

I'd like to buy you a meal,

and get some advice too.

You're an investment specialist.

Own some land in my hometown

And that's the amount of money I'll get as severance pay.

If you help me increase my fortune,

can go to the Philippines to let my children study English

and play golf

So tell me.

What did he leave?

- A document envelope. - What document envelope?

A yellow document envelope.

- Did you see it? - I don't know anything about it.

I heard someone took it.

Excuse me.

Hey.

Really?

I see. All right.

What would you do without me, sir?

What do you mean?

The timing is great.

One of my men and Attorney Choi Yeon-soo

went to Chungmuro Station to find the document envelope.

(Yeon-soo)

- Yeon-soo. - Hi, Jung-hyun.

Are you coming home by dinner time?

I'm not sure. I'm on my way to Chungmuro Station.

Chungmuro Station?

Do you remember the locker?

It seems that someone opened it before you did.

Really?

Yes, so I'm going to Chungmuro Station

to check the CCTV footage.

Now?

Okay.

Good luck.

Han Jung-hyun.

Get your head on straight.

Get your head on straight, Han Jung-hyun.

(Chungmuro)

No.

Please show us the CCTV footage.

Again? You already checked it the other day.

The CCTV filming the locker numbered three.

Please do us a favor.

(Chungmuro Station Control Room)

(Fire hydrant)

What's going on?

The fire alarm went off.

Can we continue to watch it?

Are you serious? The fire alarm went off.

- Stay outside. - We're almost done.

- I need to go check that. - Please

No, I need to go.

Stay outside.

Leave this room.

Have you checked it?

I told you to check the security office first.

For goodness' sake.

You need to check the security office first.

Go there now!

This is...

(Locker)

(Unknown number)

Lee Suk-gyu. What are you doing?

Do Young-geol?

What is this?

The shackles you put on yourself.

Gosh, this is crazy.

Unbelievable.

What do you want?

I can't believe there are still people

who play such a prank.

Just a second.

Huh? What happened?

Where did the file go?

What's wrong?

Well...

All the footage of that week has been deleted.

- What? - What?

- Well... - What?

But just now...

It's gone.

Where did it go? There's no video.

You have the documents, right?

Why do you need them?

Stop acting up,

and follow me when I pull on your leash.

(Yeon-soo)

Pick up the phone.

Don't provoke suspicion.

Why do you think Choi Yeon-soo is calling you?

(Yeon-soo)

- Hello? - Jung-hyun.

It's all gone.

- What? - Someone deleted the CCTV footage.

Are you outside?

Yes. I'm at the store to buy bean sprouts.

I see. I'll be home late.

Have dinner without me.

- Bye. - Bye.

Bean sprouts?

Jeez.

Follow us.

Invisible hands

keep beating us to it.

Do you know anyone from the NIS, Ms. Choi?

Cha belonged to the NIS. They must've investigated it and have records.

(Mr. Bae)

Bae Goo-taek, speaking.

It's me, Mr. Bae.

So?

Do we know anyone from the NIS?

Excuse me.

Yes, Mr. Bae?

Have you forgotten that I quit as of today?

- Oh. - I'm hanging up.

Just let me know

He's so cold.

You know why I hit you,

right?

This is what happens when you run wild without knowing your place.

(Widow's Cruse Project)

You didn't do anything stupid

like copying or filming it, did you?

What is that?

Don't ask or try to know anything.

I'm saying this for your own good.

Why is my name on the list?

What about Kim Do-hee and Jo Dong-pal?

Did you guys kill Cha Min-ho?

Shut your mouth, Lee Suk-gyu.

The surveillance footage that captured you intercepting this

without telling your wife is in my hands.

You could've been in trouble.

You're thankful, aren't you?

You're not? You should be.

Stop it.

What?

Stop what?

You said you wouldn't stop your wife from becoming the CIO director.

You told me to stop her if I could.

It's all your fault.

It's too late to regret it.

What are you doing?

Buy your bean sprouts and go home.

What the heck are you guys up to?

(Lee Suk-gyu)

(Lee Suk-gyu, Sinil Bank)

Was Cha Min-ho killed because of this?

Mr. Im.

Give me that.

Cha Min-ho tried to hand this over to Choi Yeon-soo,

but Lee Suk-gyu intercepted it.

What about Choi Yeon-soo?

She doesn't know what's in the envelope.

Did you see what's in this?

Wouldn't dare to do that.

Have you checked if he made copies?

The surveillance footage that captured him taking that

is in our hands.

He wouldn't dare to do something

that could ruin his family.

- Mr. Do. - Yes?

Your children are studying abroad, right?

I can hardly afford it, but yes.

Here you go.

(Red ginseng)

- You may go. - Thank you.

Mr. Im.

What?

Why don't you release the footage that captured Lee Suk-gyu?

If Choi Yeon-soo finds out

that her husband is actually Lee Suk-gyu,

it'll rupture their relationship.

Then the position of CIO Director could...

- Mr. Do. - Yes?

I'm the one to decide whether to reveal

Han Jung-hyun's real identity.

- I mean... - Shush.

Got it?

Yes, sir.

Don't try to use your brain.

Just do what you're told to do.

I'll continue to watch Lee Suk-gyu.

And?

Oh.

If the Budget Transparency Act passes into law.

We can't run the Widow's Cruse Project anymore.

I'll take care of it.

What about the list?

It won't be easy to get

borrowed-name bank accounts like them again.

For now.

We'll delete all the transactions

on the accounts and monitor them.

I'll make sure to keep it under control.

What's so important about it?

(Lee Suk-gyu)

Where have you been at this hour?

One of my customers got stuck at Jungnang Stream

because the gears got damaged.

He must've been really frustrated.

Are you okay?

It's a suspicious death,

but the evidence and witnesses constantly disappear.

Do you think

Mr. Cha Min-ho didn't commit suicide?

I'll be able to answer that question

once I find and ask the guy who secretly took

the envelope out of the locker, and deleted all the CCTV footage.

I don't know what it is.

But it seems that he tried to hand it over to me

at the risk of his life.

If I had been faster, I would've gotten it.

Why are you blaming yourself?

I always miss things by a second because I'm busy with the CIO job.

Oh.

Excuse me.

Hi, Reverend.

Where's A-soon?

She's right next to me.

A-soon. What happened?

Ms. Choi.

I'm doing fine.

I lost contact with you for over three months.

So I was really worried.

Nothing happened.

I'm relieved.

You're with the reverend now, so everything will be fine.

Yes.

Always be careful though.

Okay.

Thank you.

How have you been?

Are you healthy?

Yes, I'm fine.

Do you eat well?

My goodness.

Why are there so many leaflets here?

Goodness.

For goodness' sake.

What is all this?

(Attorney Choi Yeon-soo's Office)

Jeez.

Mr. Bae. Why are you not coming in?

She's doing well, right?

She's busy as always.

Is she still investigating Cha Min-ho's case?

You know her. She won't give up.

For goodness' sake.

She just doesn't listen to me.

There's a reason why I tried to stop her.

Jeez.

Are you really not going to come back?

I can't do all the work by myself.

Why should I care?

Oh, right.

Give this to her.

(Investigation report)

(Car rental agreement)

What?

This is from Mr. Bae.

Mr. Bae?

Prosecutor Choo Dong-woo was dispatched

to the Inspection Unit of NIS a year ago.

Choo Dong-woo, speaking.

Prosecutor Choo.

This is Choi Yeon-soo.

Hello, Ms. Choi.

How have you been?

Is this regarding your son?

No, it's not.

I heard you're working for the NIS now.

Mr. Choo.

I'm waiting to be assigned now.

Mr. Choo, have you heard of Cha Min-ho?

Mr. Choo,

have you heard of--

I have nothing to say. I have to go.

Mr. Choo. Hello?

"I have nothing to say"?

He didn't say he's never heard of him.

That means he knows something.

Gosh, I'm so frustrated.

This is the worst of all.

What's your thought on Nominee Choi Yeon-soo?

I'd like to say

you've found the right person for the job.

Really?

Ms. Choi is a woman.

It's not easy for a female attorney

to achieve such results.

She's very smart and competitive.

I went through all the cases

she was in charge of.

I didn't find anything problematic.

No wonder. If there were any problems,

someone would've already brought it up.

Exactly.

Besides, none of her family members

have any issues.

Good.

You weren't given much time.

Thank you for your work.

Mr. Kim.

Yes?

Are you going to push ahead with the plan

to publicize our special operations expenses?

Last year, we attained a 24-trillion deal

to build nuclear power plants

in Arbekia in the Middle East.

We could beat the UK, our rival,

and win the contract

because we won the information war

by finding out about their conditions.

We used the special operations budget

to dispatch our secret agents.

And we also used the budget to investigate,

and get information about Ms. Choi Yeon-soo.

If we had required receipts,

the informants wouldn't have cooperated with us.

The Blue House

has no intention to restrict

the activities of the NIS.

We just want to be

transparent about

where the taxpayers' precious money goes.

If the Budget Transparency Act passes into law,

all the state institutions including the NIS

would eventually abandon

Korea's national interests for transparent accounting.

The Budget Transparency Act

is the key reform project of this administration.

But

I'll keep the practical problems in mind.

Thank you.

I'll expect you

to make a wise decision.

(National Intelligence Service)

We've deleted all the transactions on the accounts

except those you put a hold on.

When should we...

Mr. Park.

Yes?

What did you say?

The accounts you put a hold on.

For goodness' sake.

Hey.

I told you I'd take care of them!

How is it going,

Mr. Park?

What the...

Wow.

Is this

the heart of the finance team

that prevents financial attacks

from our adversaries like hackers, and takes charge of

the financial security of Korea

by collecting information

about financial institutions in and out of Korea?

Well.

Kind of.

Then what does this office do?

Not the offices out there.

But this one.

Gosh, Mr. Do.

What's your pay grade again?

Well...

Except for hands-on workers, it can be opened

only to those above grade three with permission.

I happen to keep covering up for your messes.

I need to know what the mess is

so I can be less irritated.

What is this place for?

Exactly.

Come when you become grade three.

Keep your subordinates under better control

or is it you that causes problems?

You say you support your family abroad

But you don't play things safe.

You could get in trouble.

How dare you say that to someone

who's struggling to handle your mess?

Even if you struggle so hard,

I doubt you'll be grade three before you retire.

Darn.

- Hello? - Hello, didn't you look for a lady

with overdue bills?

I couldn't tell you back then because my boss was around.

But there's this lady who didn't pay up.

Where is your store?

Once she comes, she stays for a whole week.

Gosh.

She has dark circles down to here.

Even the guy

who came once a month stopped coming.

- The guy? - Yes.

He used to come every month

to pay off her bill.

How much is it?

Including jjajangmyeon she ordered last time,

it's 188,300 won in total.

Her number.

Gosh, we shouldn't leak our customers' information

as we please.

I wouldn't pay up someone else's wife's bills

without even checking.

But

you seem like her family.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Wow. It's a lot of work to hire people.

You'll accompany me, right?

Me? Gosh.

Am I being hired as a CSS?

CSS?

Civil servant somehow.

Right, somehow.

You and I have such a strange connection, right?

Ms. Choi.

When others suspected me and criticized me,

for embezzling the company money,

and causing it to go bankrupt,

you trusted and helped me.

You were the only one.

- Did I? - If it weren't for you, I really--

So let's work really hard.

First, the hearing.

Oh, the hearing.

Ms. Choi.

- Yes? - What about Mr. Bae?

I'm going to go pay him later today.

I see.

Gosh, what?

I'm here to pay you my monthly rent.

You could wire the money to my bank account.

Why bother bringing it here?

Still,

I rented an office in your building for 20 years.

Since it's the last time

I wanted to give it to you in person.

Check the amount.

I bet it's right.

What?

(Warrant of Appointment)

(The person above is appointed as the head)

(of the Investigation Team in the CIO)

My gosh.

Come with me.

You know I can't do anything without you.

Gosh, how silly of me.

Gosh, I didn't know I would become

a civil servant in my later years.

Gosh, I must be insane. What's wrong with me?

Come downstairs already. We have work to do.

You're swaying my heart

just as you please.

What? You don't like it,

team leader?

What, team leader?

Let me get changed and go straight down.

(Department 2, Hwang Hyun-ju)

(Chun Se-eun, secretary general in Suwon)

Here, I got these documents.

Oh, okay.

Check if there are any problems here.

- Mr. Bae. - Yes?

These have been reviewed.

Okay.

All right.

These have been reviewed.

Keep them separately.

I'm afraid I can't.

Well, sir.

I'll help you put an end

to what you couldn't during your last special investigation.

Are you saying my work was insufficient?

Well,

that's not what I mean.

I said I wanted to try working at the CIO

not under you, Ms. Choi,

fon't you get it?

My gosh.

Why come all the way here to meet that person?

- Gosh. - Why? You don't like him?

He was in charge of Lee Min-yool's case.

The guy who indicted Seung-goo.

Of course, I hate him.

But he's the best prosecutor I've ever come by.

Skills don't matter to a jerk.

If he joins us,

he will be of great help.

(Choo Dong-woo)

Are you saying

that you want to recruit me to the CIO?

Right.

Ms. Choi, are you trying to sock it to me?

You haven't changed.

I'm the guy who put your son behind bars.

Now,

you want me to work under you?

Right, at that time,

I hated you and badmouthed you so much.

But considering the circumstantial evidence now,

I would have judged the case

the same way if I were you.

It isn't because of your ability that you've been sent here.

What do you know?

It wasn't just Seung-goo's case.

You indicted Chief Prosecutor Seo's son,

for his hit-and-run under the influence.

It was the same for the drug case

of the majority floor leader's son-in-law.

This time as well,

you've been sent here for doing your work.

Enough.

The prosecution is like home to you.

I know it's not easy to leave.

But I promise,

I'll help you live out your convictions.

A prosecutor joining the CIO

means they're out of their mind.

That's what I think.

(Jung Chul-hoon)

(Will you block the current website?)

These people are widespread like weeds.

I didn't think you'd be here.

Oh, Ms. Choi.

I mean,

Director Choi.

- Thank you. - No problem.

Did you get demoted here?

Not really. I got reinstated.

People here restore digital evidence,

and hand it over to special investigative teams,

for them to catch culprits.

I was so envious of that.

It was so hard to join the Investigation Unit.

Maybe I caused trouble to too many people.

I can't hold my curiosity, you see.

There's a job suitable for you.

Thank you. I'll devote my life.

No, don't risk your life.

Just don't hold your curiosity.

Now and forever.

Don't worry about that.

(Han's Bike Lab)

(010 0497 1145)

Are you still with those jerks?

Who are "you guys"?

Do Young-geol.

Are you one of "you guys"?

What on earth did you do to it?

(Mr. Oh)

(Lee Suk-gyu)

Hi, Suk-gyu.

Hi. Mr. Oh.

Yes, hi.

It seems your wife is most likely

to be Director of the CIO.

Congrats.

Why don't we have a glass of soju?

Hey, why a glass?

It has to be at least three glasses.

When should we meet up?

By the way...

What? Say it.

Could we meet up with Do Young-geol too?

Do Young-geol?

Hey, why aren't you asleep?

It's just...

What?

It's very hard to get those I want on board.

Who are they?

It's not just one or two.

- So name just one. - Why?

I'll grab them by the collar and drag them here.

Why don't we

go watch the sunrise at dawn?

Again? You must be insane.

The hearing is right around the corner.

So what?

All the assemblymen

will shiver in fear at the hearing.

It seems you're the only one on my side.

(Reverend Ha)

Hello Reverend, how did it go?

I see, the day after tomorrow.

That's good to hear.

Yes, do you need my help with anything?

Gosh, thank you.

How is it working out being the chief prosecutor in Seoul?

Gosh. I miss those times

when I was after thugs and frauds.

Receiving and reviewing reports on my desk

is killing me.

Look at you.

You might fall sick if I make you

Prosecutor General.

My gosh. Don't get me full of empty hope.

I might die of it.

And you never say no.

I'm just following your lead.

I hear you've been rivals

with Yeon-soo since your trainee days.

Oh, please. She's an ingenuous human rights lawyer.

She can't be my rival.

She was the top student.

And you were a rank behind her.

At that time. I took one more class.

Introduction to Drinking, Dancing, and Singing.

You know, right?

That's right.

Why isn't he coming?

He must be running over here by now.

Oh.

I'm sorry I'm late.

You're here, Mr. Choo.

This is Assemblyman Yoo Sang-dong.

Say hello.

Nice to meet you, sir. I'm Choo Dong-woo.

Come sit down here.

Yes.

We went to the same college.

Just treat me casually.

Yes, sir.

Let me pour you a drink.

Mr. Choo.

I hear you're the eldest of nine siblings.

Yes.

How blessed.

Is that why?

You have a high sense of responsibility.

You're flattering me.

How is the air in Gangwon-do?

I have a lot of time to think.

Seeing you rot there

breaks my heart.

Sir, I'd like to have him

board my bandwagon.

What do you think?

Mr. Choo.

Yes, sir.

Choi Yeon-soo recently visited you, didn't she?

(Security Team)

(Secretariat)

(Hwang Hyun-ju, confirmed)

Goodness, I'd really like

help even from someone random.

Shouldn't we tell the Blue House

and fix this situation somehow?

You may be upright

without anything shady to be revealed,

but we could pass out,

preparing for the hearing and all like this.

Gosh.

Come in.

Gosh.

Mr. Choo?

Who is it?

What an unpleasant visit.

What brings you here?

Your offer back in Gangwon.

Is it still valid?

Of course.

But you refused the offer.

I've changed my mind.

Are you joining us then?

Resigned.

Thank you.

Director nominee Choi Yeon-soo's hearing is to be held this morning

at the Legislation and Judiciary Committee.

The opposing parties are expected to have

a fierce discussion at the hearing

regarding her qualifications

to be in charge of the anti-corruption organization.

Long time no see.

I had to prepare for the hearing until late last night.

Sorry I made you wait.

I ordered in advance, so you can finish and hurry off.

I'm busy, so that's good.

Show the Assembly's presence to the people.

Our presence isn't the issue.

It's to save the country.

She will be ragged after the hearing.

Don't be bothered too much.

Prevention is better than a cure.

The country

may go off the track sometimes.

But thanks to patriots like you,

it gets back on track.

Oh, you're here.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Mom, good luck with the hearing.

Good luck, Mom.

See you guys.

Yeon-soo, don't be intimidated.

Go on inside.

(Mr. Oh)

Hi. Mr. Oh.

Yes, hey.

Do you have time today?

- Today? - Yes, Young-geol says

he can't make it if not today.

What will you do?

It can't be helped.

(Director Nominee of the CIO)

I'm Lee Kang-ho,

the chairman of this personnel hearing,

for the first director nominee of the CIO.

(Director Nominee Choi Yeon-soo's Hearing)

(Director Nominee of the CIO)

Before we begin the hearing,

I'd like to say a word as the chairman.

First off, it's very meaningful

to hold this hearing

about our director nominee of the CIO

with many other assembly people.

It's Mom.

The Corruption Investigation Office,

- for High-ranking Officials... - Seung-goo.

I'm stepping outside.

Come back quickly so we can watch her together.

Okay. I'll be back soon.

Okay.

It investigates and indicts

crimes and corruption of high officials

of grade three and above,

and their close relatives.

The director of the CIO is given

a national mission

to political and prosecutory reform

by performing such duties.

Ms. Choi.

Yes.

Yes.

Are you conservative or liberal?

I'm with the law and justice.

Stop playing with words,

and answer properly.

Are you conservative or liberal? Choose either one.

If you ask,

I've tried to be

with the alienated weak until now.

But once I get appointed,

I'll side with the people who respect the law and justice.

Next is Assemblyman Park Young-soo.

I'm Assemblyman Park Young-soo.

Your son, Han Seung-goo,

was exempt from military service, right?

Yes, for a fair reason.

Is the fair reason,

autism?

(Diagnosed with autism, level-3 disability)

That's right.

All right.

He didn't even serve the military due to autism.

But look.

He openly runs a business.

Maybe you lied about his illness

to get him exempted.

Do you hear yourself?

Can't an autism patient run a business?

He's only asking a question.

That guy is too mean.

This is time to ask and answer.

So answer me, Ms. Choi.

My son

has become an adult.

But he still has difficulties

carrying out a social life with people.

Disabled people must have income

in order to become independent.

That's why he opened a business.

It was only possible

with my husband's help from the start.

He's improved enough

to run it by himself now.

And I am proud of my son.

(Personnel hearing)

Gosh, it needs to be boiled a little more.

What are you doing? We're drinking in the afternoon for a change.

Here, drink up.

Why?

Are you worried Young-geol might not show up?

Don't worry.

He always acts like he's busy.

How's your work hanging?

I closed it.

Why?

I don't know. The Company told me to.

Because of what Yeon-soo visited you for?

I was going to close it anyway.

I retired years ago, and they keep making me

cover up for their messes.

What messes?

Don't look at me like that.

I don't know anything.

Gosh, I have to survive

on my tiny pension now.

I need to marry my child off too.

Hold on.

(Do Young-geol)

Hello? Where are you?

Where are you?

Hey, here. Right here.

What is this punk doing here?

What are you waiting for? Sit down.

I asked him to let me see you.

Why?

Have a seat first.

I'm not at your beck and call.

Goodness, look at the way you talk.

We just want to talk about the old days.

What are you doing?

You called him out, so pour him a drink.

Let me.

Don't try to pull a trick.

I have your leash

in my hand.

I know.

Right, let's not be too inflexible.

Let's clink...

Your husband's name is Han Jung-hyun, right?

That's right, it's Han Jung-hyun.

All right.

Your husband has never paid any income tax until now.

Nor does he have any assets. Is he jobless?

- Sir. - Say it.

He is jobless, isn't he?

Why would he...

With all due respect,

please watch what you say.

Jobless, really?

Don't be so rude.

This is my time to ask questions.

I called him jobless because that's what he is.

Quiet down.

Ms. Choi, please answer.

Okay.

Sir.

More than 15 million housewives sacrifice themselves

for the social activities of their family members.

I believe you wouldn't consider them jobless.

(Certificate of Income)

My husband, Han Jung-hyun,

successfully raised our son and daughter.

I'm only grateful

that I married someone like him.

So you wanted to see me?

Why?

Did your wife ask you to win me over?

Or,

now that she's about to be appointed,

are you afraid?

How twisted you are.

Young-geol, this is only to build friendship.

Don't put things like that.

"Young-geol"?

Goodness,

you still are a poor judge of character.

I see.

Yes, sure. Mr. Do.

Let me go to the bathroom.

Okay.

Darn it. What are you doing?

Don't make a fuss over a small thing.

It's just water. Your pants are ruined.

Shouldn't you go wash them?

Hurry on.

It will dry up soon.

Goodness.

Here.

Darn it. What are you doing?

Let go!

To whom did you hand that envelope?

(Executive Director Im Hyung-rak)

Next is Assemblyman Yoo Sang-dong's turn.

I'm Assemblyman Yoo Sang-dong.

- Nominee Choi. - Yes.

Are you sure

you won't be a slave to power?

A slave to power?

There isn't much time.

Please answer

yes or no.

I refuse to answer rude questions.

What did you say?

What's rude about this question?

It's because of the way you put things.

- The whole nation is watching. - Goodness.

Stay put!

Quiet down.

This is the hearing.

Fine, okay.

Okay.

Nominee Choi.

You know Kim Tae-yeol, right?

Chairman Kim Tae-yeol of the NCSR

led the anti-communism leftist forces.

From 1990 to 1991,

he was wanted for taking the lead

in various violent protests.

For two years,

he coquetted the public power while on the most wanted list.

You met him then, didn't you?

- Yes. - Why didn't you report him?

I only followed the duty to keep my client's information a secret.

Your client?

Are you saying you were an attorney

of Kim Tae-yeol,

that ringleader of the leftist forces?

The Constitution states that anyone in Korea

has the right to an attorney.

You keep asserting your duty to maintain secrecy,

and his right to attorney.

According to Article 112 of the Criminal Procedure Law,

an attorney may report their client

if needed for significant public interests.

Don't you know?

Are you

still proud to have given legal advice

to Kim Tae-yeol?

I am.

My.

See you have

some big faith in your client.

How impressive.

Impressive.

- Goodness. - My.

Is it the same for Kim A-soon, the North Korean defector?

- Pardon? - Put the photo up.

The former singer of Eunhasu Band in North Korea.

The spy who caused a ruckus

in the country three years ago.

You don't know her?

- What? - What is this about?

Do you still think she isn't a spy

Yes.

You're the one

who let this disguised spy

Kim A-soon, go around freely

in this country.

Well, Mr. Yoo.

She was cleared of her suspicion.

Right.

You helped her clear her name.

Right?

Yes, I defended her.

Are your wife and kids still in the Philippines?

Goodness, poor you.

It must cost a lot.

Since when did you care so much about me?

What is this punk doing

after calling me out when I'm busy?

What? Where is it?

What?

My car key.

(Unhak-ri Mountain)

Fine.

Please play this video.

(Director Nominee Choi Yeon-soo's Hearing)

(Executive Director Im Hyung-rak)

I was sexually assaulted

by an agency owner in South Korea.

But the judge put me in jail, not him.

South Korea is a paradise only to the rich.

It's like a pit of fire to the poor.

I rotted in jail for three years.

The scenes in dramas were

- nowhere to be seen. - What...

I saw the real South Korea

with gold diggers all over the streets.

"I must survive.

I must escape from this pit of fire.

I must return immediately."

That's what I thought.

South Korea was

disillusionment itself.

Stop the video.

I got this video clip

from a TV program in North Korea.

You know that woman, right?

Nominee Choi, who is that woman?

She's Kim A-soon.

Right.

She is Kim A-soon, the woman you helped prove

not guilty of being a spy.

That very woman returned to North Korea.

She's now humiliating our country like that.

How are you going to take responsibility?

Right. How will you take responsibility?

Say something.

How could you say that?

There's no direct proof about this.

That video is the proof.

She's a spy.

Subtitles by K-Plus Asia

Choi Yeon-soo, our hard effort

to establish the CIO is about to go

to nothing even before its start.

I'm sorry. Give me some time.

Did you kill Cha Min-ho?

Did you kill him yourself,

Agent Do Young-geol?

Why did you kill him? Why?

Are you A-soon's mother?

Where is A-soon?

Jung-hyun, is this all because of me?

If A-soon caught this time...

Choi Yeon-seo still follows Kim Tae-yeol.

What will she turn this country into?

What should we do about that woman?

Yes, sir.

What is Do Young-geol doing here?

Director Choi.
