STRANGER

ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, PLACE NAMES
AND CASES IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.

EPISODE 8

I didn't do it!

It's Mr. Lee. He killed him.

You have to trust me.

I know.

Are you saying he gave you a dead phone
and told you to throw it in the water?

"This is the real one.
Put it somewhere at the scene."

Are you saying Mr. Lee did that?

Hey.

Do you think I wanted to do this?

Think about how having to do this
must've made me feel.

I was frustrated to death.

What's the evidence that can prove
that Mr. Lee is the culprit?

Can't you tell?

Is such a thing necessary between us?

Hey, Mr. Hwang. Si-mok!

Let's be honest with each other
for once as man to man.

Until when do we have to betray our gut
feelings because of reasons and evidence?

Be honest. I know you've also pegged him
as the culprit. Aren't I right?

You're being beyond ridiculous.

What?

You're making such a claim
without any evidence. How ridiculous.

This is all your fault.

None of this would've happened had you not
mentioned Kyung-wan Park knowing the girl!

Goodness. Even my ears are ashamed
from what you just said.

Cut it out. I guess you like being manly.

-Be a real man and come with us.
-Let go.

Enough is enough.

Was Jin-seob Kang not enough for you?

What would've happened
had we not caught you here?

Kyung-wan would surely end up
going to jail.

As a psycho who killed his dad
and stabbed a girl, blinded by jealousy.

Stabbing flesh isn't
the only form of killing.

If you hadn't been caught, you would've
ended up killing Kyung-wan's future.

-Prosecutor Seo?
-Is it the room with the light on?

What the...

Well...

What's going on?

Gosh.

This can't be happening.
We might be screwed.

I'll talk to Chief first.

That girl keeps causing trouble.

Let go!

Will you be okay by yourself?

-Please take care of that.
-I'll go right away.

Please put the seat belt on.

Mr. Lee will figure out the reason

I had to do all this very quickly.

After that, he'll kill me.

Just like what he did to Mr. Park
and to that girl.

With me gone, there will be no one left
that remembers how corrupt he actually is.

He can be reborn as an honorable
prosecutor who's always been noble.

You're right.

You little...

That's why I tried to frame Kyung-wan Park
as the culprit. I wanted to end it.

Mr. Lee would end it
if the culprit has been caught.

I was just trying
to prevent additional murders.

I see.

Hey.

You know that my mother lives alone
in the countryside, right?

I've been her everything her whole life.

She won't want to go on with her life
if something happens to me.

Hey, then let's do this.

You want to catch the culprit, right?
Let's do it together. I'll help you.

After that, I'll gladly accept
any disciplinary action.

Let's please keep it from Mr. Lee, okay?

Will he harm you
if this gets reported to him?

Yes. You need to tell
that female cop about it too so that...

If you get harmed too,

we can be sure that he's the real culprit.

Please become a sacrificial victim
this time.

Sacrifice your life so that
we can catch the culprit.

Your sacrificial lamb was Kyung-wan,

and mine will be yours.

You piece of...

Hey, how dare you. You...

Damn it!

What is this bullshit right now?

APPROVAL REQUIRED

I was going to meet up with her
if I got a call from her.

I was going to report everything to you
after that.

Sir, I wouldn't have brought the phone
with me had I known she got abducted.

The incident broke out, and I thought
people would be suspicious of me.

I just missed the right moment
to tell you about it.

Yes, this is all my fault.

However, I went to that house today
to inspect the scene.

I swear, I didn't have
any ulterior motive.

Guys from Yongsan Police Station came

because Mr. Seo told them
that Kyung-wan Park...

could've hidden the victim's phone
at the scene.

However, what we witnessed was Mr. Seo

wiping his fingerprints

off the phone and placing it
underneath the bed.

I was just trying to take a photo...

What did you tell me?
You said that you were confident

and that you'd pierce through anything.

I even summoned
the two-star general for you.

You're the one who exposed
the corruption in the military,

yet you got arrested

in front of police officers while trying
to frame someone for murder?

And I have to announce it myself?

Is that it?

Am I

supposed to say that my prosecutors

fabricated evidence again as soon as
I became the chief prosecutor?

Sir.

Who knows about this?

Who else knows about this?

Do you think this is 1988 or what?

Why did you beat up that guy?

You told us to make him confess, so...

How much time do we have?

Well, we have a day
if he doesn't get arrested.

We do have to let him go
by tomorrow night.

How much more time do you need?

It'll be all gone in about two weeks.

He just got some bruises. That's all.

Why do you guys never understand
what I tell you?

Good grief.

Gosh.

He's more screwed than I am.

CHANG-JUN LEE

Hey, do my guys have to keep being
fooled because of your guys' problems?

Yes, I know. I admit it.

So let's put an end to this.

One week?

How will we justify it? Why?

Go ahead and detain him.

We'll suspend his indictment in a week.

Yes, sir!

By the way, that girl's phone
has been sent to NFS.

-You have nothing to worry about, right?
-No.

Right.

Yes.

Gosh, why is there no empty room
beside his office?

All right. You should also make sure
your guys behave themselves.

Okay.

Even if Kyung-wan just followed the order,

fabricating an alibi is subject
to indictment.

But considering the fact that the military
is a special environment,

we should suspend his indictment
in two weeks. Let Eun-soo handle it.

Kyung-wan Park has an alibi
for the day Ga-young Kim got abducted.

-With the commander's wife...
-Suspend his indictment.

Yes, sir.

Dong-jae will face a disciplinary action,
so he has to be suspended from his duties.

All cases assigned to his office
must be redistributed,

but tell him to show up
at his office on time.

Yes, sir.

Had you told me about him
keeping Ga-young Kim's phone,

this wouldn't have happened.

My apologies.

I couldn't be certain of it
with the ringtone alone.

I bet that's not true.

You just couldn't trust me.

About the victim's phone.

How did you know
that the other one was fake?

Because those who have two cell phones

could have additional phones.

We went to the golf course
at around 3 p.m.

Private Park drove as usual.
He was like our golf instructor, you know.

Si-mok.

Because he knew I was suspicious of him
and that I went through his office,

I didn't think he'd expose the phone
easily.

Then does it mean
Dong-jae is not the culprit?

He even used the victim's phone
to escape my radar.

Were you aware

of the fact that he's suspicious of you?

The ones who are suspicious of others

aren't the culprit...

No, it could be a trick.

By showing that he's suspicious of me,

he might be trying to escape
the suspicion surrounding him.

It's just like how you're confused
whether he's the culprit or not.

You're telling yourself
that you're not the culprit.

People say that a wise word
can solve all of your problems,

yet you bring more trouble on yourself
every time you speak.

I'm sorry.

Are you really sorry?
From the bottom of your heart?

Did you just say
"from the bottom of your heart"?

Yes. What about it?

Most people would opt for "sincerely."

The assault wasn't caused
by violent tendencies.

Something was wrong with his brain
when he was little.

It looks like the surgery damaged the part
responsible for perceiving human emotions.

Find out if Dong-jae actually found
the phone,

or if he stabbed her and took it from her.

Yes, sir.
And I'll also keep a watchful eye

on whether any mishap happens

to Mr. Seo or not.

Have a good evening.

How can a prosecutor
be such a bad judge of character?

I can't believe he thought
this guy stabbed two people.

You also don't think he did it, right?

-Hey.
-Yes.

You really didn't do it, right?

I didn't. I didn't do anything.

Here. Eat more, okay?

You'll be released soon.

We should just forward him to prosecution,
saying he's been cleared of suspicion.

But that prosecutor has a nasty temper.

That's right.

It would've been over in a week,

but you called an attorney
and got on that prosecutor's nerves.

He doesn't even have money.

His family had to get into debt
because of the attorney's fees,

and he got on the wrong side
of that prosecutor.

-You guys are eating.
-Yes.

What did they say?
Can they revive the phone?

All of the deleted files
will be recovered as well.

You got my text, right? We have to pretend

we didn't see what happened today.

-Yes, sir.
-By the way,

I asked you to share information
on what Prosecutor Hwang is up to.

What was that today?

When you knew about Ga-young Kim's phone,
you should've told me about it.

I would've totally reported it to you
if I had known.

I went to the scene because
he just asked me to meet him there.

You didn't know either?

They're asking us to keep it a secret.

They obviously know
that it's something to be ashamed of.

Report everything to me, no matter
how insignificant it seems. Got it?

Yes, Captain. I'll leave for the day now.

Get going.

Don't work too hard.

Eat up.

-I'll take him.
-Sure.

You said you've never even
spoken to Ga-young.

Why were her photos on your phone?
And why did you delete them?

Why did you lie?

I was afraid they might raise suspicion
during the investigation.

I took them secretly.

They're creepshots? Why did you do that?

Did you have a crush on her?

Many of my friends also took
photos of her secretly.

And I took them as I was just
passing by her.

Then you should've told us. Did you think
we wouldn't find out about it?

I'm sorry.

Just a moment.

Lieutenant Han.

-Later.
-It's urgent.

-I have to do something now.
-It's about that.

He'll be released in two weeks.

So let's not cause trouble.

Your chief asked us
to keep it to ourselves.

If you cause another trouble, you'll be
excluded from the investigation.

Then things will get complicated.

So...

Am I only allowed to rebel when it's about
things that are helpful for the case?

Do you not want to bother

trying to find another investigator
just because of a guy who's a nobody?

What I'm trying to say
is that no one can replace you.

Whether it's a bother is beside the point.

Do you know what he said?

He asked me not to tell his grandmother.

I can't

understand why he let them do this to him.

But my co-workers whom I see every day,

who are completely normal people,
did something like this,

and that's what I'm struggling with more.
I can't accept it.

Do you think they did such a thing
because they were born evil?

They've become like this

because they can get away with it.

They know people will turn a blind eye.

If one person keeps his or her
eyes wide open and speaks up,

this can change.

Whether he'll be released in two weeks
or detained for a long period of time,

the choice is yours.

What do you mean by that?

If we let him go right away
due to human rights issues,

we'd be proving that we detained him
even though he's innocent.

If you don't turn a blind eye to it
and open your mouth,

they'll keep him locked up for months.

Make your choice.

How many people do you think are told
to make a choice for reasons like this

when they're actually being
forced to be silent?

I can't compromise. I won't.

Kyung-wan isn't a crucial suspect,

but it's true that we have to vet him.

I'll investigate it until the end of it.

Then let's do this.

Let's have an expert
handle the human rights violation.

Hey, it's me. You still have some
business cards from that law firm, right?

Can you go to Southern Seoul
Detention Center tomorrow?

SOUTHERN SEOUL DETENTION CENTER

Yes, early in the morning.
As early as possible.

Here you go.

URGENT TRANSPORT

LAW-ABIDING SPIRIT

CORRECTION THAT RESPECTS HUMAN DIGNITY

Please go in.

Go on.

Get changed.

This way, please.

Straighten your back.

Come here. Squat down.

Turn around and bend down.

Pull down your underwear
and spread your legs.

Are you Mr. Kyung-wan Park?

I'm Jung-bon Kim.

How are you holding up?

Did my grandmother send you here?

Yes, sort of.

I don't need an attorney.

Please leave.

As you can see...

OFFICE MANAGER
JUNG-BON KIM

I'm not an attorney.

Oh, boy. It's quite chilly here, isn't it?

PROSECUTOR DONG-JAE SEO

Gosh, they can't be handled like that.

We're colleagues.
You guys can't do this to us.

This is just our...

Are you guys even taking...

VOICE RECORD

Did you know the victim
before the incident took place?

Did you know her or not?

Can't you ask a better question?

You should be asking if I saw anything.

What did you see?

What did the driver say when he called?

Did he say that he gave her address
to a psycho around 9 p.m.?

So?

If you left Yeoksam-dong around 9 p.m.
to go to Garwol-dong,

it must've taken over 30 minutes.

I beat you by at least 20 minutes.

Had you arrived a little sooner,
you could've witnessed the abduction.

Then how did you get her cell phone?

I told you I found it on the street.
Was I not allowed to pick it up?

I guess you pick up
everything that's fallen on the ground.

Or did you see it on the ground

and know whose phone it was right away

because you two were that close?

It looked like she had already fled,
but I thought she could come back.

I parked nearby and waited.

But...

I could tell how much of a rush
she was in when she left.

I thought, "Waiting here is probably
a waste of time."

I figured she'd look for her phone.
I was going to answer it when she called.

Why were you trying so hard to meet her?

Was it Mr. Lee's order?

I was trying to protect her.

Why do you think I didn't tell Mr. Lee
about finding her address?

Did you cause a ruckus at the bar
because you wanted to protect her?

At first, I thought it was only natural
that he wanted to track her down.

After sending a girl like her,

Mr. Park used to go, "She's actually
a minor. You guys are screwed now."

I knew that was his tactic.

Then he died. What do you think
I thought when that happened?

"Is he asking me
to find his second sacrificial victim?"

So did you decide to hand her to him?

I was trying to warn her.
I wanted to tell her that she should hide.

Was I supposed to do nothing,
fully knowing he was after her?

But she didn't call all night,

and I didn't hear anything from her
even the next day.

Youngsters can't stand a minute
without a phone.

That's when my instinct kicked in.

I thought,
"She didn't just drop her phone.

He got her."

Look at what happened.

What did the phone look like
on the ground?

What kind of question is that?

Would it have been standing up or what?

It was just fallen on the street.

All right.

Did you abduct Ga-young Kim
and inflict injuries on her?

Gosh, you're driving me nuts.

Then do you think I killed Mr. Park too?

Hey.

I'm going to tell you this just once,
so listen up.

There are people who had
some after-hours fun thanks to Mr. Park.

However, he just took care of the bills.

He didn't introduce girls to anyone.
Even not to department chiefs.

I'm sure he entertained people
at other companies too.

However...

That night,

the person to whom I reported
that I found the girl...

Mr. Lee was the only one.

But what I don't understand is

why he chose public execution
over secret burial.

You should be careful too.

Stop attacking him
unless you want to end up like that girl.

Why did you do it?

I said I didn't do it!

Why did you drag Mr. Park into the circle

and spoil your colleagues?

You think I spoiled them?

They did it to themselves.

Please cooperate.

May I please have your car key, Mr. Seo?

What's her problem now?

SEIZURE ORDER

I must collect all physical evidence
that can be damaged.

Both of you are suspects.

At 9:14 p.m., Mr. Seo arrived
at Ga-young Kim's place in Garwol-dong.

He left as soon as he confirmed
that she wasn't home.

That must be when he found the phone.

Everything matches his claim.

However,

the record shows

that he called Mr. Lee at 7:47 p.m.,
which was before the incident took place.

So?

If that's when Mr. Lee received
a report about Mr. Seo finding Ga-young,

he definitely had enough time
to mobilize his accomplice.

Why are you showing me this?

I thought you were supposed to protect
all damageable evidence from me.

Isn't that what Mr. Lee wants you to do?

Who cares about what he wants?

Eun-soo.

Can I

trust you?

I'm asking if you can be my right arm.

Of course, Mr. Hwang.

How dare you even dream
of becoming my right arm?

I'd just cut off that arm.

What... What was that about?

-How do you feel?
-What do you think?

How can you mock someone like this?

You were betrayed in just a minute,

but Dong-jae has invested ten years.

He was Mr. Lee's right arm for a decade
and did everything he was asked to do.

Did you say Mr. Lee had enough time
to mobilize his accomplice?

Do you think he had more time
than Dong-jae?

-So?
-Dong-jae is the culprit.

He instigated his accomplice.

Why are you rushing like this
all of a sudden?

I solved the puzzle that seemed unsolvable
when I thought Mr. Lee was the culprit.

The question of why he didn't
finish the girl

or bury her in the woods somewhere remote?

Dong-jae must've wanted to get back
at him. That's why he got the idea.

He must've thought he should
expose Mr. Lee's deep, dark secret

in a very shocking way.

So you think Mr. Seo is the culprit?
Is that your conclusion?

Yes.

Why? Aren't you happy
that the case is solved now?

Do you know something else?

What did you see on the day you tailed us?

-What are you talking about?
-It was captured in the security camera.

The day we went to find Ga-young.

I just followed you out because
I saw you going somewhere in a rush.

That's really all. I did not tail you.

Is that so? That's not what I saw
in the security camera footage.

You're mistaken.

That's too bad.
You should've followed me more.

Then you would've witnessed the scene.

Or you could've crossed paths
with Mr. Seo's accomplice.

Then I would've told you about it already.
Why would I keep it to myself?

-What is going on?
-I don't know.

-Officer.
-Yes.

Would there be anything that can be used
as a weapon in the evidence room?

Pardon?

A weapon?

You really can't use it.
You'll get in huge trouble if you do.

Please only use it to scare him.

PROSECUTOR YOUNG

I know that you were
trying to kill the girl.

Check the lobby security camera footage
from that day.

SECURITY OFFICE

Where are you now? Let's meet up
and talk in person, okay?

You had no idea I was tailing you, right?

But I saw it with my own two eyes.

You came straight here
and got her phone first.

Your accomplice must've told you.

Didn't you come here because of her phone?

You said you saw it lying on the street,
but I know that it's a lie.

Why do you keep spewing total nonsense?
Hey, where are you...

You came straight here
and got her phone first.

"Here"?

You're not even surprised.

Hey, Eun-soo.

I'm not sure what you saw here
that day, but...

I don't care about that.

My target is Mr. Lee.

-What?
-Dump it on him.

Why are you being like this suddenly?

It's not sudden. I've been patiently
waiting for an opportunity like this.

It's your specialty.

Framing others
and turning people into criminals.

Mr. Hwang is suspicious of you too.

If you don't do as I say,
I'll tell him that you're the culprit.

The culprit had to be Mr. Lee.
Why did you get involved...

Have you lost your mind?

Was it you?

Dump it all on Mr. Lee
and his father-in-law.

Make it happen at all costs.

Then what?

What?

No criminal gets executed in this country.

Those scums will figure out a way
to retaliate even if they're behind bars.

The rich don't get punished even when
they hit someone with a metal pipe.

Do you think they'll actually be
sent to jail?

Both you and I will get killed.

I'm not scared of death.

I am.

I have a kid,

and I mean the whole world to my mother.

I'm sure it will be better for your mother
if you just die

rather than become a serial killer.

Then I have no choice.

I'll go report that I saw you
with your accomplice.

Hey!

Let go! I said, let go!

Let go!

Let go!

Hey.

Eun-soo.

Eun-soo.

Eun-soo.

Eun-soo!

Eun-soo!

Gosh.

I thought you were dead.

Why did you have to provoke me
with such nonsense...

Are you all right?

You really didn't do it, right?

You didn't kill him?

What? I did not kill him.

All right, then.

I knew it.

Hey, are you colluding with Si-mok?

No.

Mr. Seo didn't do it.
I confirmed it myself.

He'd never kill anyone.

You'd know what I mean if you saw it.

I wouldn't be able to stand before you
like this if he was the culprit.

You were wrong this time.

I'll tell you everything tomorrow.

-What is it?
-Can you lend me some clothes?

My mom will bombard me with questions
if I show up like this.

Tell her you got punched
while interrogating a vicious criminal.

God, why is it taking so long?

Thank you.

I'm sorry, but...

I can pull off any clothes, can't I?

I'll give it back tomorrow.

He might have figured out halfway through
that it was a trap.

It's possible he stopped because of it.

No, it's not.

I lied to him and threatened him.

If he was the killer,
he wouldn't have stopped like that

whether he figured it out or not.

You know how he is.

If he was about to be caught
after brutally harming two people,

he would've lost it
and tried to shut me up at all costs.

I'm not sure.

He could be a lot more rational
and methodical than we think.

Then this wouldn't have happened.

He could've just used a stun gun
and dragged me like Ga-young.

What if he thought

I was behind you?

I wish you were behind me there.

You wouldn't be able to say that
if you actually saw it.

I'm certain that Mr. Seo isn't
the culprit.

Be honest with me.
You aren't sure about it either, right?

Your conviction
that Mr. Seo is the culprit

must be fading away because of me.

I'll take that as a yes.

See you tomorrow.

By the way, are you always like this?

You don't even listen to any music?

If he was the killer,
he wouldn't have stopped like that

whether he figured it out or not.

He could've just used a stun gun
and dragged me like Ga-young.

Eun-soo. Hey...

Eun-soo emphasized that Dong-jae
isn't the culprit,

but by doing so, she actually ended up
revealing how much she wants

Mr. Lee's family to be the culprit.

If she can throw her own life
out there as bait,

how would she feel
about someone else's life?

Between the probability
that Dong-jae isn't the culprit

and the probability
that Eun-soo is a suspect,

which is higher now?

Thank you for the sweater.

PROSECUTOR YOUNG

They managed to recover
all the data on Ga-young Kim's phone.

It has nothing but thousands
of her selfies.

There's nothing useful.

She should've taken photos
with those men instead.

They're not crazy.

Why would they do something
that might get them into trouble?

What about the call history?
Has it been retrieved too?

I'm getting another call.
I'll call you back in a bit.

Hey, Sun-chang. What's up?

Salute.

It took you quite a while to get here.
I guess you were somewhere far.

Yes. When did she get here?

A while ago.

I couldn't say no.

-I thought you should...
-I'm glad you called me.

You're doing it again!

-Seriously.
-Okay, I won't smoke.

-Gosh.
-All right, I'll quit.

Get off of me. You reek of smoke.

I'll really quit.

Goodness, you stink.

Ma'am.

Did you come here
right after you saw Kyung-wan?

We should live here when he gets released.
They'll let him go soon, right?

Yes, of course.

I was actually working on
verifying his alibi before coming here.

Please wait just a few more days.

Shall I ask the police officer outside
to stay here with you?

Well...

When Kyung-wan gets out...

Never mind.

It's nothing.

Those...

-Do these need to be taken out?
-I'll...

It's okay. If there's anything strenuous,
please ask that police officer for help.

He's my underling, so you can
use him for whatever you need.

I'll see you later at home.

Oh, boy.

Gosh, this is driving me crazy.

She'll collapse if she finds out
what happened to him.

You mean how we beat him up?

I'm sorry. I couldn't stop them.

Were you there too?

I speculated.

Do you like Astro Boy by any chance?

Astro Boy?

Oh, that cartoon? I've heard of it.

You've heard of it?

You've only heard of that cartoon legend?

Anyway, there's something his dad said.

He has a dad?

I thought he was a robot.

I'm talking about the person
who drew it, Osamu Tezuka.

Anyhow, that's not important right now.

He said, "Cartoonists can draw anything,

but there's one exception.

Things that violate basic human rights."

It's just a cartoon, you know.

We must not violate something that should
be protected even for cartoon characters.

We have a thing called pride
as members of the police.

From next time... I mean,

from now on,
I will be sure to protect our pride.

She wants to live here again. Keep up
the great work until she moves back here.

No problem.

Salute.

So, Kyung-wan Park's indictment
will be suspended.

What about Dong-jae?
Has a decision been made?

I think he was just being overly
ambitious. He had no other intentions.

You think it was done
purely out of ambition?

The division commander is the only one
who's in deep shit.

What's going on with him?

I heard the army headquarters will
investigate it, but I have no updates yet.

They must be busy
trying to make sure their words match.

I can't criticize them.

We're also keeping what Dong-jae did
to ourselves.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Please read this.

Have a great day.

-Hello.
-Hello, please read this.

Hello.

CRIME PREVENTION CAMPAIGN

We're doing a crime prevention campaign.

-Please spread words about this.
-Have a good day. Hello.

Okay. Get home safely.

Yes.

Is Dad hounding him again?

The line is busy at the moment.
You'll be connected to the voice mail.

Chairman Lee, please.

Yes, I just heard about it.

Yes. Father?

Even if Dad scolds you,
just agree with everything he says.

I'll take care of the rest.

Turn on the radio.

Breaking news.

This afternoon, Sungmoon Daily published
an exclusive story on suspicions

surrounding the prosecution accepting
bribes, quoting an anonymous informant.

According to the informant, the victim

of the Huam-dong murder
which took place in January this year

bribed prosecutors
at Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office

with money and gifts on a regular basis
before his death.

Sungmoon Daily, which reported
the suspicions of bribery,

stated that the tip was received
through a regular registered mail

and that it did not include any details
such as names of the prosecutors

who accepted bribes
or the amounts that were received.

So they ate up all the bribes
and killed him.

How can they be that corrupt?

They're in no position
to judge and prosecute us.

That's what I'm saying.

-Anything on the informant?
-Nothing yet.

The newspaper received a typed letter.

The informant used an old-fashioned method
in order to avoid IP tracking.

-From which post office was it sent?
-I sent an investigator there.

It's the former chief prosecutor.

I won't remind you
how your staff should be managed.

I know that some of you went to places
with or through the late Mr. Kim.

Ask the owners to cooperate.
Don't send your staff.

You'll have to make the requests yourself,

but don't do it via phone
as your calls can be recorded.

Make sure to let them know that they will
not only have to shut down their business,

but will also be doomed for life
if they don't watch their mouths.

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

No more team dinners as of today.

No lunch or dinner
outside the office, either.

Every bar and restaurant in the area

will be filled with reporters
disguised as customers.

If anyone provides them
with any gossip-worthy information,

I will find out who it is,
going through every division.

Cleaning staff and security guards
are not allowed in prosecutors' offices.

This will

pass quietly.

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

SUPREME PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

It's impossible.

I apologize, sir.

Every time there's a problem,
it's at the western office.

The Prosecutor General
must be sick of hearing it.

I disgraced both of you.

I sincerely apologize.

I apologize too, sir.

My son-in-law dishonored you.

Please don't be like that, Mr. Lee.

Don't go easy on him.

He can't complain even if you decide
to punish him harshly.

Is it true?

Absolutely not.

-What about the man who bribed and died?
-I've never met him.

What's your plan?

We'll take the bull by the horns.

We have nothing to hide or fear.

Yes, show us what you can do.

Public sentiment is like waves.

Getting swept away is dangerous,
but it vanishes if you ride it well.

Yes, sir.

Sir.

He'll run like a faithful dog to make sure
there's no more disgrace to prosecution.

Who's the rat that did it?

And why was it sent to Sungmoon Daily
out of all newspapers?

The content seems strange.

It didn't even say much.

That's right. There are no details.

It just talked about bribery.
The core information is missing.

But, don't you think it's strange

that it was sent to Sungmoon Daily
out of all the newspapers?

The person obviously knows the story
but doesn't want to reveal the details.

It could be someone

who wants turmoil
but wishes to protect the organization.

Who would...

It's possible the person didn't
reveal everything on purpose.

It could be a warning.

Or it could be for money too.

Are you still working on dumping
everything on Si-mok

and closing the case?

I apologize.

I even finished digging up
some intel on him, but Mr. Park's son

got involved all of a sudden.

Put it on hold.

If we say the culprit took
his own life now, people won't believe us.

But Si-mok is still suspicious of me.

It looks like you picked the one
you wanted to get rid of.

You shouldn't let resentment
hinder your work.

I must say, I can't stop thinking
that he outsmarts you.

Well, there's someone else
who's above you.

How dare she call me

and yell at me,
demanding that I should leave you alone?

I have no idea where she got
that temper from.

Don't ask her about it
or tell her that I told you.

I buttered up
the Public Prosecutor General for you

and made sure he couldn't
say anything to you,

so just go tell her all about it.

I sincerely appreciate it.

Let's please make sure
that this can pass quietly.

I'd love for us to be able
to enjoy some peaceful days.

I apologize again.

Sponsorship Scandal, Just Like
The Busan Prosecutor Sponsorship Case

Sponsorship within Prosecution,
Another Utter Embarrassment

Sponsorship Scandal, Just Like
The Busan Prosecutor Sponsorship Case

LIEUTENANT HAN

I'm surprised you had a moment to call me.

I thought everyone there would be
in deep trouble by now.

I know who the culprit is.

Who is it?

Who's the culprit?

"Tortoise, show me your head.

-Otherwise..."
-"I'll eat you up"?

What are you doing now?

The head has finally been revealed.

One bottle of soju
and a bowl of udon, please.

Get ramen.

Actually, I'll get ramen.

-We need water too.
-Sure.

Thank you.

Enjoy.

Even if we develop high blood pressure,

we should see the body
being revealed before we die.

The only head that came out today

was the informant.

The culprit must've been waiting
for this moment from the get-go.

He must've been furious because the fact
that Mr. Park was a financial sponsor

wasn't exposed right after his death.

Now, I can understand why he dealt
with Ga-young Kim like that.

Her cell phone too.

Think about it. He didn't even leave
a single strand of hair.

Dropping it there must not have been
a mistake.

If what Mr. Seo said is true...

He said it could be easily seen.

It was as if the culprit was telling us,
"This is where the abduction took place."

Here you go.

Thank you.

Do you know anyone at Sungmoon Daily?

I looked into it
but couldn't find anything.

I don't even think people there know
who the informant is.

I should go there tomorrow.

Right, tomorrow.
Kyung-wan will be released in the morning.

I haven't been able to tell Mr. Park's
mother about Kyung-wan's situation.

She'll see it in the news.

What?

By any chance,

did you tip them off?

I said the informant is the culprit.

If you are the informant,
you should tell me now.

I'm not.

Cheers.

By the way, what makes you think
that you can trust what I'm telling you?

Who says I do? I don't trust you.

You smiled.

You smiled just now. You did, right?

-Did I?
-Yes. You have a pretty smile.

Just a second.

-Hang on.
-Well...

Don't give me any gifts.

The more clues get revealed,

the more I think the culprit is someone
who suffered because of the sponsorship.

Whether it's toward the prosecution
or Moo-sung Park,

he's holding grudges.

JUNG-BON KIM

I'll get started.

You might be affected.

SOUTHERN SEOUL DETENTION CENTER

There he is.

-It's cold.
-I'm fine.

A civil righter submitted
an investigation request to prosecution,

claiming that police officers
harshly treated a suspect

during an interrogation, which has
aroused a huge controversy.

Yes, I'm at Yongsan Police Station now.

Mr. Park, who was arrested as a suspect
of a murder case,

is claiming that he was tortured
during his interrogation here.

I heard photos that prove his claim
have been disclosed as well.

That's right.

The photos disclosed
by civil righter Mr. Jung-bon Kim

clearly show traces
of the harsh treatments Mr. Park received

during his interrogation.

Mr. Park claimed that the police officers
assaulted him while coercing him

to admit the charges.

The information on the late Mr. Park
bribing prosecutors

at Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office
was received less than a day ago.

And now, a suspicion that officers
at Yongsan Police Station coerced

Mr. Park's son to admit the allegations
on committing

parricide and attempted murder
has been raised.

Which prosecutors' office was
in charge of Mr. Park's case?

It was Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office.

Tell everyone who's fourth grade or higher
to gather at the assembly hall.

As of 10 a.m. today,

our office will launch
a special investigation to thoroughly

investigate the suspicions surrounding
prosecutors and corruption.

I will assign it to a prosecutor
who will investigate everyone fairly

regardless of their positions.

In order to ensure the investigation's
independence, the prosecutor in charge

will only report the final result
to the Public Prosecutor General.

The prosecutor in charge...

The prosecutor in charge

is Si-mok Hwang of Division Three.
