(Undercover)

(All places, characters, companies.)

(and incidents in this drama are fictitious.)

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.

- Be quiet! - You know nothing!

Be quiet, everyone!

I can't explain it now.

(Daehan Jeil Daily)

(Choi Yeon-soo)

They're dying to put her on the spot.

Excuse me!

You can't explain it? Or you just don't want to?

Are you going to play dumb or what?

Nominee Choi.

You can't avoid answering this question.

You were fooled by a spy.

Someone like you can't be the director of CIO.

It's your responsibility.

I'll take responsibility.

Nominee Choi.

You just said you'd take responsibility.

(Executive Director Im Hyung-rak)

How are you going to do that?

That means

the fact that Kim A-soon is a spy

and...

Ask Ms. Choi and check up on it.

Yes, sir.

(Episode 6)

- One more bottle of soju, please. - Okay.

Did you find it?

Jeez.

How can you drink at a time like this?

You have no idea what you've done.

Hey.

Let's suppose Choi Yeon-soo becomes Director of CIO.

From the moment she starts digging into things,

she'll become a prey.

You know that?

Widow's Cruse Project.

Is it because of that?

What?

Widow's Cruse Project.

What did you just say?

You son of a gun. Do you have a death wish?

Like Cha Min-ho?

Are you serious, you jerk?

I warned you not to ask or try to know anything.

Did you guys kill Cha Min-ho?

Or did you kill him yourself,

Agent Do Young-geol?

You crazy jerk.

Guys. Calm down.

I don't want you to get into a fight. Stop it.

Why can't you answer?

You traitor. You must have a death wish.

For goodness' sake. Hey.

What do you think you're doing?

Let go of him.

Don't do this, for goodness' sake.

Let go of each other.

You let go of him first.

Let go! Why are you doing this?

- Die! - No!

Die!

Let go! Why did you kill Min-ho?

I'll kill you! Let go!

- Yoon-joo. - Die.

Die!

Calm down.

Yoon-joo.

Suk-gyu.

- Darn it. - Mr. Do.

Are you okay, Young-geol?

This is his plan, right?

For goodness' sake.

If it weren't for him, you would've been seriously hurt.

Did you call me over for this?

Huh?

Jeez.

Darn it.

Yoon-joo!

- Yoon-joo. - Let go of me.

You'd better be careful too

if you don't want to get killed.

Don't make that face as if you know nothing!

I'll kill all the jerks who made me like this.

You.

You're one of them.

Wait.

Don't do this.

You hypocrite.

Just a minute, Ms. Choi!

- Ms. Choi! - Ms. Choi!

Please let her through

Move out of the way!

Mr. Bae. Please go to the airport.

For what?

A-soon and her mother will arrive at the airport in an hour.

Her mother too?

Yes. Her mother is in critical condition. She had to go get her.

Why didn't you say that at the hearing?

It could've settled the matter.

- Please hurry, Mr, Bae. - Yes, ma'am.

(International Arrivals, Qingdao)

Attention, please.

Passengers arriving on Flight 224 from Boston

can claim their baggage...

It seems that all the passengers are out.

Are you sure she got on that flight?

That's the flight number she told me.

(International Arrivals)

I checked the passenger list.

There was no passenger named Kim A-soon on that flight.

What?

What should we do, Ms. Choi?

At the hearing, you said you'd take responsibility.

If she doesn't show up...

(Kang Choong-mo)

Hello?

Yeon-soo. Can I see you?

(Taxi)

My husband, Han Jung-hyun,

successfully raised our son and daughter.

(Choi Yeon-soo)

I'm only grateful

that I married someone like him.

You were fooled by a spy.

Someone like you can't be the director of CIO.

It's your responsibility.

I'll take responsibility.

That commie is causing a stir

throughout the country. Don't you agree?

Are you okay?

Don't try too hard. Just come home.

What's going on?

What do you mean, you'll take responsibility?

A-soon was planning to fly in tonight.

I was going to explain it all after that.

Where's Ms. Kim A-soon now?

It seems that she couldn't get on the plane.

Why did you say you'd take responsibility

when there was such a risk?

I know I placed a burden on the administration.

But I thought answering that question

could put her life in danger.

Choi Yeon-soo.

Our hard effort to establish the CIO

is about to go to nothing even before its start.

A burden?

Are you naive or just irresponsible? You think this is a joke?

I'm sorry.

- Yeon-soo. - Give me some time.

Director Choi. You went through a lot today.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow, Mr. Bae.

Good work.

Bye.

Seriously, I almost fainted.

Good work.

How are the kids?

They're fine.

Did you eat?

No. I have no appetite.

I'll make you spicy noodles.

Let's go in.

It's spicy.

Take your time.

Did you watch the hearing?

Yes. You did a good job.

You said you're grateful to your husband. Who wrote that for you?

Did you like that part best?

That was the highlight.

Everything, including the highlight, was good

except the ending.

Don't worry about A-soon for now. Eat your meal.

Only then can you continue to fight.

Everyone's worked really hard to come this far,

but I've disappointed the CIO.

Both A-soon and the CIO may get in trouble because of me.

Finish it.

I'm sorry. I can't eat anymore.

Hi, Reverend. How's A-soon?

Ms. Choi. Something serious happened.

What?

What happened?

What happened to A-soon?

A-soon and her mother went to the airport.

But some NIS agents and the Chinese police were there to get them,

so they ran away.

What?

Where did they go?

I've lost contact with them.

They've disappeared.

Are you sure they're from the NIS?

Yes. I've seen them before.

Do you think

they were caught by them?

I don't know.

I'm trying to find that out.

Okay. Can you please keep searching for them?

Yes, I'll do that.

Oh, no.

What do I do?

The NIS? What are you talking about?

I also don't know what's going on.

Jung-hyun.

Is this all because of me?

A-soon couldn't come back to Korea because of me.

If she gets caught this time...

Yeon-soo.

So many people worked hard to establish the CIO.

What should I do, Jung-hyun?

No, Yeon-soo.

It's not your fault.

It's not.

Jung-hyun.

Is this all because of me?

A-soon couldn't come back to Korea because of me.

If she gets caught this time...

(14D 5834)

What did they say?

The opposition party refused to adopt Ms. Choi's report.

Of course they wouldn't.

There are over a thousand negative articles about her.

Ms. Choi remained silent about Kim A-soon,

so there are a lot of speculations about that.

What did Ms. Choi say?

Please don't tell anyone about this

for A-soon's safety.

Nothing.

Why don't we call off her nomination, and go for someone else?

I think we should. We'd still be concerned

even if she became Director of CIO.

What do you think?

I suggest that we wait one more day.

What are you saying?

We can't wait another day.

(Choi violated the National Security Law)

Some people say Ms. Choi should be imprisoned

for violating the National Security Law.

(She defended a spy)

Some say we should cancel the plan to found CIO.

They're so cruel.

Well...

I'm causing a nuisance to everyone.

That's not what I mean.

You're doing all this not to put A-soon in danger.

Those people can't do what you're doing now,

but they just say such things.

(Eighty-five percent oppose Choi's nomination)

(Reverend Ha)

- Hi, Reverend Ha. - Ms. Choi.

I'm going to Korea today. I found A-soon.

What? Where is she?

It's about A-soon.

There are more people who oppose Choi's nomination.

It's expected that it won't be easy for the administration

to push ahead with the plan to appoint her as Director of CIO.

Breaking news.

The Blue House has announced that they'll select

a new director nominee of CIO.

It was decided

after Choi's confirmation hearing.

CIO will soon be officially launched...

Yeon-soo.

Jung-hyun.

Are you okay?

I watched the news.

Yes, I'm fine.

I'm on my way to Taean to meet A-soon.

Taean?

Is she not flying in?

No. I'll talk to you later. Bye.

Mr. Bae. Can you please go faster?

You'll be the head of a big organization.

You shouldn't tell me to commit an illegality.

I'm driving within the legal limit.

Take a nap.

I want to go faster.

(Min Sang-a)

Sang-a.

I have news.

Who's the prettiest person in the world?

Han Seung-mi.

You surely are an honest man.

Seung-goo.

- What about me? - You're very nice, Yoo-bin.

Seung-goo. I'm going to Eunhye Hardware.

Are these what I need to buy?

When will you be back?

I'll be back soon.

I like to go to Eunhye Hardware.

But there's no one to keep an eye on the shop.

That's right.

Boss,

please keep an eye on the shop.

- Okay. - See you.

I have to go and keep an eye on the shop.

Wait, Seung-goo.

Sit down for a minute.

I'm not just nice.

Am I not pretty as well

You?

Yes, you are.

Really?

My gosh.

Are you okay?

What? Was that a lie?

Telling a lie hurts me.

Oh, right.

We need a hex wrench set too.

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

You have to turn right to go to Eunhye Hardware.

Don't turn left.

Dad! Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

You have to turn right to go to Eunhye Hardware.

There's a boat coming into the harbor now.

Could it be that one?

I don't know.

By the way, where's Reverend Ha?

He said he'd see A-soon get on the boat

and then get on a flight.

(Taxi)

Oh, there he is.

Reverend Ha.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Ma'am.

Are you A-soon's mother?

Nice to meet you.

- Where is A-soon? - Please...

Please find my daughter.

- What? - Where's A-soon?

Did she not get on the boat?

A-soon.

Please find A-soon, my daughter.

Ma'am.

That's it, right?

Is this the police?

I need to report someone who has been abducted.

Her name is Kim A-soon.

Some people came out of nowhere,

and abducted her out in the open sea.

This way.

Hold her.

Take it off.

What the heck is she saying?

Where is my mother?

What happened to her?

I need to take her to a hospital.

My mother--

- Take her. - Please forgive me.

Let's go.

Please let me go.

- Thank you for your work. - Thank you.

Shut her up. Do it quickly.

Please be quiet, Ms. Kim A-soon.

Be quiet.

Who's that punk?

- Who is that? - Hey!

Stop!

You jerk!

Who the heck are you?

Stop there!

What's going on?

Get up and follow him!

Yes, sir.

She got abducted out in the open sea.

That means they knew she was coming.

Ms. Choi. What should we do?

My. Isn't that A-soon?

A-soon.

- Mother! - A-soon!

Mother.

- Goodness. - Mother.

Mother.

Are you okay?

Are you okay, A-soon?

Ms. Choi.

Go and get Kim A-soon by all means.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

- Got it? - Yes, sir.

Choi Yeon-soo.

Excuse me.

What do you need?

- Take Kim A-soon. - No. Wait.

Where are you guys from?

She's under arrest on suspicion of espionage.

- What? - Ms. Choi.

What? You can't do that.

Stand behind me, A-soon.

Get out of the way.

I said, get out of the way!

Are you asking for trouble?

Excuse me.

I'm Ms. Kim A-soon's attorney.

Accompany her. Where are you going to take her?

Get out of the way!

What do you think you're doing?

Hey! Why are you doing this?

Where do you belong?

The prosecution? Or NIS?

Do you know what you're doing now is illegal?

We have enough evidence and witnesses here.

What's going on?

You really want trouble, don't you?

There they are!

Ms. Kim A-soon.

- Let's go and interview her! - Hurry!

Abort.

- This way! Hurry! - How reckless you are!

- Ms. Kim A-soon! - How dare you raise your voices?

Film them.

- This way. - Wait!

What's going on?

What?

Darn it.

Choi Yeon-soo.

Mr. Bae. Please take her mother to a hospital.

Yes, ma'am.

Let's go.

Ms. Kim. Why did you criticize South Korea

on a North Korean TV show?

What?

Well...

I'll answer that question on her behalf.

I'm her attorney.

Her mother is suffering from serious kidney failure.

She planned to bring her mother here,

so she can receive a kidney transplant.

But she got caught in North Korea.

Is it true that she criticized South Korea?

Can you take responsibility for what you just said?

Ms. Kim A-soon will take responsibility

for what she did in North Korea.

But that's going to happen

after her mother gets treatment,

and has a transplant operation.

I beg the Korean judiciary for clemency.

Thank you.

- Is that lady her mother? - Ms. Kim.

Please say something, Ms. Kim.

Please let them through.

- Ms. Kim! - Please move out of the way!

Please say something!

Please say something!

Where are you going?

Taean? Is she not flying in?

No. I'll talk to you later. Bye.

(Current location, Pyeongtaek Harbor)

Where are you going? Ma'am!

- Please say something! - Ms. Kim!

Where are you going? Please answer!

Ms. Kim! Where are you going?

(Do Young-geol)

Ms. Kim A-soon will take responsibility

for what she did in North Korea.

But that's going to happen

after her mother gets treatment,

and has a transplant operation.

I beg the Korean judiciary for clemency.

As Attorney Choi Yeon-soo, the director nominee of CIO, claimed

Ms. Kim A-soon criticized South Korea

on a North Korean TV show to save her mother.

Now the appointment process is expected to gain momentum...

(Incoming call)

- Hello? - This is Sewon Patrol Division

- of Uijeongbu Police Station. - Where?

- A police station? - Yes.

Is this Mr. Han Seung-goo's father?

(Police)

Seung-goo.

Are you okay, Seung-goo?

Excuse me.

How can I help you?

I'm Han Seung-goo's father.

Oh, I see.

He was reported for standing in the middle of a road

and blocking traffic.

But we couldn't communicate with him.

Give us a minute, please.

Sure.

Look at me, Seung-goo.

Why did you do that?

You have to ride a bike--

Turn right to go to Eunhye Hardware!

Turn right to go to Eunhye Hardware.

You were going to Eunhye Hardware, but you turned left.

- Seung-goo. - Han Seung-goo.

My dad's name is Han Jung-hyun.

My phone number is 01004638151.

Father Han Jung-hyu can't live without Seung-goo.

That's right, Seung-goo.

I can't live without you.

Well...

Seung-goo.

I'm sorry.

I don't want to be the boss.

You be the boss.

Why not?

You're a good boss now.

You used to stay with me all the time.

But now that I'm the boss, you keep disappearing.

You're right.

I'm the one to blame.

Yes, you're bad.

Then I'll be...

the boss.

You're the boss.

I'm home.

Congratulations, Mom.

You're home, Director Choi.

Yes.

Here you go. Congratulations.

Thank you.

Sure.

How's A-soon's mother?

She'll be fine once she gets a transplant.

I'm relieved to hear that.

By the way, something unbelievable happened.

- Huh? - What?

Some people knew that A-soon was coming, and tried to abduct her.

- Who? - I don't know.

Someone came and rescued her.

But he disappeared too.

Dad disappeared and appeared again.

Did you catch the bad guys?

No, they all ran away.

Could've been really bad.

Everyone is saying you're cool online.

Huh?

That you're an extremely upright person who remained silent at the hearing

in order to protect A-soon despite the fierce criticism.

But you make me nervous and anxious every time.

All right. I'll always be careful, my daughter.

Be careful.

How's Seung-goo?

He's asleep.

- Come. - I cooked the last pack of ramyeon.

I added some squid too.

Did we have squid? Wow!

Here. Let me fill your glass, Mr. Han.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

Jeez, I should've caught the guys who ran away.

By the way, the motorcycle rider who rescued A-soon.

I wonder who he is.

Please fill up the glass.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's a beautiful sound.

Don't you feel refreshed?

All right.

- Bottoms up. - Bottoms up.

Oh, it's nice.

Here.

Wait.

Why don't we go up to the rooftop?

Let's get some fresh air and see the stars.

- That's a good idea. - All right.

Oh, my.

Seung-goo. How long have you been standing here?

The smell of squid ramyeon filled this house.

Your faces will get puffy if you eat ramyeon at night.

It's delicious, isn't it?

You traitors. You're so busted.

Squid?

Are you guys really our parents?

Let's go to the dining table.

Here, let me.

Thanks.

The Blue House will appoint Choi Yeon-soo

as Director of CIO next week at the earliest.

Once she gets inaugurated,

she will begin her work right away.

After hiring key employees of the CIO within a month.

She will get the work started in earnest.

The CIO is to eradicate power abuse, bribery,

false documentation, illegal political funds,

and other specific crimes

committed by high officials, and their family members.

It is also to eradicate corruption, and special favor in public offices.

It'll thus increase the country's transparency,

and the trust in public offices.

With the purpose of creating a fair and just country

that guarantees equal opportunity to everyone,

it's given a historical mission

- to reform... - Yes.

The major governmental institutions,

such as the judiciary, the prosecution, the Police' and the NIS.

Especially, the current administration is enthusiastically pushing ahead...

I wasn't capable enough.

I should've stopped it. I apologze.

Have you eaten?

Pardon? Not yet.

Have some.

No, I couldn't dare eat with you.

Eat.

Yes, sir.

Thank you for the food.

Mr. Do.

Yes.

If Kim Tae-yeol hadn't died,

what would this country be like?

Kim Tae-yeol...

What would it be like if he had been alive,

and continued to instigate the people?

This country...

would be a mess--

I mean, it would've collapsed.

- You think? - Yes.

That's what I think.

Then,

you saved this country.

- Pardon? - Kim Tae-yeol.

You arrested him.

You're flattering me, sir.

What about Choi Yeon-soo?

She still follows Kim Tae-yeol.

What will she do to this country?

The same.

She might

bring this country down.

Then what should we do about that woman?

Somehow...

Your resignation has been accepted.

Sir.

Keep eating.

(Do Young-geol)

Gosh.

Are you okay?

Don't call me sir. I'm no longer with the NIS.

What?

Because you couldn't stop Choi Yeon-soo?

Gosh, this is ridiculous.

Why those little...

What are you going to do?

Kwang-chul.

Yes?

Why don't we

save this country together?

Sorry?

Don't be so surprised.

We can save this country.

Drive.

Okay.

It's not 1923...

Oh.

Anyone inside?

Detective Jung, welcome.

Who may you be?

Oh, say hello to each other.

This is Bae Goo-taek, the manager of my office.

Nice to meet you. I'm Jung Chul-hoon.

I see. It's nice to meet you.

I'm Bae Goo-taek.

- Right. - He was with

the Investigation Unit and the cyber police.

He's very capable.

And... Mi-sun.

Yes?

Say hello.

Mi-sun and Detective Jung Chul-hoon.

It's nice to meet you. My name is--

Right.

Oh, this.

You shouldn't put this here.

I looked for it everywhere.

Jung Chul-hoon.

What brings you here? Have a seat.

Well... Oh.

I went to the rent-a-car company.

The one that Cha Min-ho rented a car from?

Apparently, it closed down.

It closed down already?

(Sunshine Rent-a-car)

Oh, and...

I found this there.

(Notice of Violation Penalty)

(23H 3781)

Wait, it's not Cha Min-ho,

Gosh, it's two people.

And the date and time...

This is the original.

(23H 3781)

It was taken 45 minutes before he died.

My gosh.

Did this guy kill him?

I must say it's become highly likely that he didn't commit suicide.

I'm starting to hate you already.

- Pardon? - You should've brought this

to the police, not our director.

Well...

I simply followed her order not to hold my curiosity.

Who could they be?

Jung-hee might know. Let's try calling her.

- Okay. - You're not an attorney anymore.

No matter how strange this case is,

you are to be inaugurated soon.

Don't do this.

I should be doing my best

until I finally get inaugurated.

Goodness gracious.

(23H 3781)

Oh, I see.

Yes, that could be the case.

Then I'll visit you at your place, Jung-hee.

Bye.

She's never seen them before.

She says we can go through his albums at her place if we want.

Oh.

Not in here.

Hello, Ms. Choi.

Hi, Jung-hee.

Could I look through the desk in the study?

Sure.

Jung-hee.

There's a locked drawer here.

Where is the key?

On the bookshelf behind you.

There's a yellow box.

It should be inside that box.

I see.

Oh, okay.

Hold on.

Yes, it's in here. Thank you, Jung-hee,

(Random Internet Cafe)

It's a member card of an internet cafe.

He kept this card

in the locked drawer.

Isn't it strange?

I'll try asking.

(Call)

Hello, is this Random Internet Cafe?

(Random Internet Cafe)

- Hello. - Oh, hello.

This card belongs to you, right?

Oh, you're the one who called earlier.

Right.

Yes.

It went missing two months ago?

Right, it went missing then.

So we had to make a new one.

Which computer was used with this card?

Well... Please hold.

Number 24 under the pillar over there.

Could we take a look?

Sure.

Thank you.

(Choi Yeon-soo to be Inaugurated)

(as Director of CIO in Three Days)

(New Go-stop)

Did you reset this computer?

Yes, we do it every day.

Really? Can we check it here then?

Well...

It might be a bit easier we take the hard drive.

Could we borrow this computer?

What? Of course not.

Here you go.

Thank you.

- Here. - Gosh.

Thank you.

- Excuse me. - Coming.

What a thief.

Should I arrest him or something?

If we can't find what Cha Min-ho did with this,

give me 200,000 won then.

I'll run a thorough check.

Let's go.

- Goodbye. - Thank you.

Goodbye.

(Choi Yeon-soo to be Inaugurated)

(as Director of CIO in Three Days)

Hey. About the woman

who made a scene with a knife that day,

isn't she Go Yoon-joo?

Right.

Right? I knew it.

So you didn't

lure her there on purpose, did you?

I was even more surprised.

Is Do Young-geol okay?

Well, he's okay.

It grazed him a little.

Did you want to see me for this?

Well...

Suk-gyu.

Do Young-geol got fired.

What do you mean?

You know what I mean.

Your wife became Director.

He probably got fired to take responsibility.

I'm worried.

He must be full of spite.

Given his temper, he might do anything

to get his place back.

Be careful.

Both you and your wife.

(Spearhead of Democracy, Kim Tae-yeol)

(Protest to Commemorate)

I only wanted to treat you to a meal.

I didn't know you'd want us to come here first.

It's good to stop by for a moment.

Good work, Jung-hyun.

You too.

Once she gets inaugurated,

you will go through a worse time.

I am

prepared.

Why are you so determined?

It's not like I'm out at war.

If he was alive.

He'd be living just like you.

What do you mean?

Kim Tae-yeol was strong to the strong,

and weak to the weak.

Sounds like someone you know, right?

At that time.

Why were they dying to get him?

In my opinion,

they were afraid

that Kim Tae-yeol

would become someone like you now.

Oh, come on. You're making me feel pressured.

You see.

I don't think I can lead such a life.

Choong-mo became old

only to be talkative.

He didn't have to say that.

I don't think he just said it.

Since a long time ago,

quite a lot of people tried to harm you.

Gosh.

I'm getting anxious.

Okay.

I'll be careful.

He must be full of spite.

Given his temper, he might do anything

to get his place back.

Let's say

she ends up taking the position.

She'd stir things up here and there.

From that moment, your wife would become a prey.

You know that?

Dad.

What are you doing? Mom's off to work for the first time.

I see, okay.

Hello.

Hello.

- I'll be going. - Wait.

Let's take a photo to cherish this moment.

Come on, that's embarrassing.

Why not?

Seung-goo, stand next to her. I'll take it.

Okay.

I'll take it for you.

Right, you should come too.

Thank you.

Everyone, smile.

What's wrong with you guys?

Smile already.

Well, I was smiling.

You too, Mom. Seung-goo.

It's not funny at all.

Let me link arms with you, son.

You can take it now.

Kimchi.

(Kim Myung-jae)

Mr. Im.

Why was the issue about Kim A-soon omitted in the report?

during the vetting process, for Choi Yeon-soo?

You're the greatest expert in terms of info.

It's strange you missed that out.

I apologize.

I didn't think her issue would be a problem at all.

You knew?

Was aware that she went back to North Korea

due to her mother's illness.

And by the time I reported to you,

she had escaped from North Korea again.

So I didn't think it was worth reporting.

Well...

I see.

Congratulations

on her inauguration.

Thank you.

It's thanks to you.

Mr. Kim.

I'm listening.

I heard the Budget Transparency Act

to be proposed to the Assembly next week.

Why don't you reconsider...

As I mentioned,

implementing budget transparency is

one of the key reformation subjects of this administration.

The VIP and the secretarial staff

decided on the submission unanimously.

If the water is too clean, fish can't survive in it.

I thought...

I explained enough during our last meeting.

I've seen too many cases

where they tried to fix small flaws,

and ended up causing a huge damage.

The decision has been made.

Please accept it, Mr. Im.

(Kim Myung-jae)

(Government of South Korea)

Mr. Kim.

Director Choi Yeon-soo is here.

Oh.

Welcome, Director Choi.

Weren't you nervous to be appointed?

Just now when I greeted the President,

he instructed me to even investigate

the living authorities if needed.

Gosh, we should be the nervous ones then.

Thank you for trusting me.

Don't say that.

Thank you for enduring.

Oh.

Say hello. This is Im Hyung-rak,

the executive director of the NIS.

Hello.

I'm Im Hyung-rak.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Choi Yeon-soo.

He complimented you in many ways.

I'm grateful.

Coming here,

I'm meeting so many high-ranking officials.

You will be seeing more once you start working.

I wish I won't.

It would only mean that our country is healthy.

As expected.

Everyone should be on their toes

as the rumor says.

You should head to the inauguration ceremony.

Okay.

Shall we go, Director Choi?

See you again.

See me again?

That crazy...

(Corruption Investigation Office)

(for High-Ranking Officials)

Let's go inside, Director.

Okay.

What do you plan to do, Do Young-geol?

(Director's Office)

Hello.

(Director's Office)

(Director Choi Yeon-soo)

(Director Choi Yeon-soo)

We're all ready.

I'm ready too.

Oh, hello.

(Inauguration Ceremony of Choi Yeon-soo,)

(the First Director of CIO)

She's here.

(Inauguration Ceremony of Choi Yeon-soo,)

(the First Director of CIO)

All right.

We will now begin the inauguration ceremony

of Choi Yeon-soo,

the first director of the CIO.

Let's hear a word from her first.

Director Choi.

I don't need it. Thank you though.

Okay.

I'll be speaking without a mic,

so please come a bit closer to the front.

- What? - She wants us to come closer?

- What... - Is it okay?

Don't be shy. It's just that I want to

my colleagues from up close.

Please come a bit closer.

Come on.

- Let's go. - Well...

Thank you.

Wow.

This day has come.

to see you

gathered all together like this.

I'm getting emotional.

It's good to see you.

Chief Kim Dong-young of Department One.

Thank you so much for joining us

right after your special investigation.

I hope we get along.

Me too.

Prosecutor Choi Ji-young, good to see you.

I enjoyed reading your column

about returning the US base in Busan.

Thank you.

Good to see you. Investigator Ko Yu-ri.

Where are you, Prosecutor Choi Sang-yup?

Yes?

It's good to see you.

As you two showed great teamwork.

I'd like you to achieve good results here too.

We will work hard.

It's good to see you, Prosecutor Han Sang-jin.

You went through so much at the Special Investigation Unit.

But you might go through even worse here.

I hope we get along.

Me too.

Chief Hwang Hyun-ju. It's good to see you.

You had such outstanding results in Daegu

that it was really hard to get you here.

Thank you so much for joining us.

The pleasure is mine.

Thank you, Attorney Im Dong-soo.

(Dongbu Expressway, Gangnam)

Lastly, Prosecutor Choo Dong-woo

from the Yeongwol branch of Chuncheon District Court.

He's my chief secretary.

It's good to see you.

I hope we get along.

(Inauguration Ceremony of Choi Yeon-soo,)

(the First Director of CIO)

And I am

Director Choi Yeon-soo of the CIO.

(CIO)

From now on, every staff of the CIO

including me

must follow the purpose of its establishment.

As you already know,

the CIO is an independent organization

which can investigate and indict

criminal acts committed by

civil servants grade three and above,

and the President's close relatives.

I hope it never happens,

but if I have to investigate the President,

I will do so.

Gosh.

(Inauguration Ceremony of Choi Yeon-soo)

My gosh.

And if...

I have to be investigated,

I want you to do it then.

- Wow. - How cool.

Goodness.

That's the organization

we will become.

As long as it's objective and legal,

we won't show mercy to anyone at any time.

We'll be such an investigative organization.

I see you're bored already.

Let me make it short. Lastly,

I don't want those

loyal to a figure.

I don't need those

loyal to an organization.

I want you

to be loyal

to the country,

and to the people.

That's all.

- Wow. - Goodness.

- Let's do well. - We can do it.

How cool.

- Let's go. - Let's do it.

Thank you.

No way.

(CIO)

Why on earth did that punk come here?

(CIO)

(CIO)

No.

(Seoul Small and Medium Business Administration)

(CIO)

Gosh.

(CIO)

Director Choi.

Hello.

It's nice to meet you.

I'm in charge of the CIO's Security Team.

My name is Do Young-geol.

I see. Mr. Do Young-geol.

Subtitles by K-Plus Asia

It's begun.

From the first day, really?

We should investigate the Blue House.

If Choi Yeon-soo fights the Blue House, and wins on our behalf,

it will be the best case for us.

The CIO took our jurisdiction away from us.

We've got to get it back.

How much was it?

Do Young-geol, this rat.

If Lee Suk-gyu is trying to pull something,

report it to me right away.

If they pick a fight, I will fight back.

I'm good at fighting.

Hey, Choi Yeon-soo!

How did it go?

It seems he took the bait.
