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

EPISODE 13

-Let's take a selfie together.
-Selfie? My gosh.

-A group photo.
-Yes.

-Mr. Kim?
-Yes.

-Si-mok.
-Mr. Hwang, let's take it together.

-It's all right. Count me out.
-Come on. Don't be so difficult.

Come, get in.

-Come on. We should have everyone in it.
-I can't see.

One, two, three!

One more time. One, two, three.

-One more time.
-Once more. One, two!

-One, two.
-I'm trying to look cute.

Let me see. Show me again.

My head looks huge.

-This is a great photo.
-My gosh, we have booze left.

My grandfather taught me
to never leave any drinks unfinished.

Here.

I'm a lightweight.

How can you be a lightweight
when you served in the Marine Corps?

Didn't you say you served
in the Special Forces?

-No, I didn't.
-Forget about it, then.

We should drink together since we both
served in the Civil Defense Corps.

I served as a public service worker.

Exactly.

There's a huge difference between the two.

Well, I actually watched the footage.

The one from the hotel's security camera

where Chief and Ga-young are captured.

I made a copy of it and gave it to Chief.

What did you just say?

How did you get the file?

I got it from your laptop. I'm sorry.

Are you saying that you went through
my laptop? Is that it?

Do you actually think
an apology is enough...

Goodness!

It's not like he asked me
to delete the original file.

He said no one would be affected by it.

To be honest, this is what I thought.

It's not like he killed someone.

I thought it was too cruel that he lost
everything due to an affair he had.

An affair?

Is that what you thought too?
"Men can make a mistake like that."

I'm sure he didn't think like that.

Detective Jang is tender-hearted.

That's probably why he did it.

Did he use it?

What?

Even if the two of you decide to take
disciplinary action against me,

I have nothing to say.

There's something I must know though.

Could Chief be the culprit?

Did I help a murderer?

He must be the one
whom Ga-young threatened

using the affair they had.

When he was dragging me
thinking that I was her,

he said something like,
"I'll give you all the money you want."

But judging from the way he talked,
he didn't seem capable of killing someone.

You said he was shaking

and that he begged you for help.

That must mean he's not the killer.

Chief has nothing to do
with zero and seven, right?

Zero and seven?

What is that?

Ga-young said those words.

It might be what she saw
during the abduction

or something related to the culprit.

She saw those two numbers? Zero and seven?

I wonder what they mean.

She'll probably be able to tell us
if we wait a little longer.

She remembered that, so I'm sure
she'll remember the culprit soon too.

It's a matter of time.

It is a matter of time indeed.

That was such a good meal.

I'm so full.

Get home safely.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

-Thank you.
-Thank you for the food.

-Jung-bon, you can take a taxi with me.
-Yes.

What about you, Ms. Young?

Mr. Hwang, you should drive her home
since you didn't drink at all.

Sure, I will.

Thank you.

All right, then. We should get going.

-Bye.
-Bye.

-Good night.
-Drive safely.

-Bye.
-Get home safely.

-I'll get going too.
-Yes, bye.

-Good night.
-See you all tomorrow.

How about a second round?

Let's go. I'll buy you a drink.

By the way,

did you go straight to her place
from the central district office?

Yes.

Did I mishear it?

There were a lot of reports
and documents piled up on your desk,

so I stopped by your place
to drop them off for you.

But I thought I heard someone
opening the door.

Are you saying someone was at my place?

I can't say it for certain.

I'm not sure because I heard it
when I was inside the elevator.

But when I got out of the building,
I saw a man

holding an umbrella
even though it wasn't raining.

I thought that was strange too.

What did that man do?

He didn't really do anything.

He just walked away.

Did I mishear it?

You can take the subway, right?

From here?

Then please drop me off over there.

Bye.

My gosh.

-Are you all right?
-Yes.

Is it this way?

It's a lot worse than how you
described it over the phone.

It's so creepy.

Whoever did it put in a lot of work.

What about the other rooms?

I didn't find anything else.

We should do a thorough check though.
There are so many perverts these days.

-I'll see if there are any bugs.
-All right.

-Hello?
-I got the security camera footage.

I'll be right there.

-Detective Jang.
-Yes.

He covered his face, but other than that,
he walked around freely.

Gosh, what a psycho.

I saw a man holding an umbrella
even though it wasn't raining.

He didn't actually harm you.

What is this about? Is it like a warning?

It reminds me of something I saw
in a movie a long time ago.

What movie?

Was it a general?

There was a king who wanted him dead.
When the king was asleep,

he sneaked in
and cut off a lock of his hair.

That made the king
become afraid of the general.

The answer must be one of these two.

Someone who was convicted and locked up
because of Mr. Hwang in the past

or someone who's against us.

An ex-convict wouldn't be
this bold though.

If it's about our team,

other people might be in danger too.

Excuse me.

We'll have to make copies of the footage
from all security cameras here.

Sure, that's not a problem at all.

We were laughing and chatting away
until a little while ago.

I guess you never know
what life will throw at you.

Unless he vanished into thin air,

he must've been caught on one
of the cameras. I'll track him down.

Yes, please find him.

Thank you both for all of your help today.

Wait, are you going to be okay
by yourself?

He won't come back.

-Bye.
-Have a good night.

I'd be too creeped out to sleep there.

Gosh. Lieutenant, get in.
I'll give you a ride.

I won't stab you in the back
like that ever again.

Seriously. Come on!

Why did you only cut off my hair?

You should've slit my throat.

Is that not your modus operandi?

I heard chamomile can help you
relax and sleep better.

Try not to think about anything
and get a good sleep.

Come in for a few minutes.

Thank you for inviting me in.

To think that it was the killer's doing...

The method is too different, right?

If it wasn't the killer,

there's only one plausible suspect,
Hanjo Group.

I guess there's The Bahn Group too.

Whoever it was,
I think he wanted to scare me.

Be honest with me.
You knew this would happen, didn't you?

Had I known about it, I would've skipped
the dinner and stayed home.

I'm not talking about that.

Our team getting disbanded.

Chang-jun Lee must've used
all possible means

and found out that you were the one
who tipped Sungmoon off.

You and I both know
who would get in trouble for that.

I couldn't turn a blind eye to it though.

Ten trillion won of tax money
went into it, so I had to stop their scam.

Also, if I was doing it,

I wanted us to get something
out of it too.

So what did you get in return
from Sungmoon?

I swapped it with intel on the informant.

Did you find out who it is?
Who's the informant?

A high school girl

sent in the information
because a man asked her to do it.

I just sent you her information.

Then,

I'll meet this girl

and get that man's composite sketch made.

You'll have
the composite sketch software, right?

-I can draw it like the software does.
-What?

Goodness.

Please make sure
you take the software with you.

Well, is there anything else?

The informant must be someone
who knows about all of these three things.

The relationship between
Chang-jun Lee and Moo-sung Park.

The fact that there could've been
a marriage between Sungmoon and Hanjo.

Lastly, the person must also know
that the CEO of Sungmoon is

still holding grudges due to the marriage
talks falling through over a decade ago.

How petty.

He's still resentful about something
that happened over ten years ago?

I don't think he let people see it
because of his pride.

But somebody caught onto it.

So far, I've identified three people
who meet

all of the three requirements.

Three requirements

and three people?

Who are those three people?

Yun-beom Lee,

Chang-jun Lee

and Yeon-jae Lee.

Come again?

Why would they send in such information?

It's like digging their own graves.

You said that the informant
must be the culprit.

All three of them do have a motive.

For Yun-beom Lee, it's about his daughter
and her husband, you know.

But they wouldn't do all of the work
just to make sure Ga-young could live.

My gosh, it's getting late.

Call me if you have a nightmare.

I rarely have dreams.

That sure comes in handy
at times like this.

I'll be off.

-Get home safely.
-Will do. Have a good night.

He's still resentful about something
that happened over ten years ago?

Someone close to Chang-jun Lee who was
directly involved in the marriage talks.

So far, there are only three on the list.

Why would they send in such information?

It's like digging their own graves.

Zero and seven?

Ga-young said those words.

It might be what she saw
during the abduction

or something related to the culprit.

That doesn't make any sense though.

Moving on to the next news,

the government released
an official statement

on the weapon import scandal
between Hanjo Group and Matsuyama,

which caused a big stir last night.

The government has decided
to withdraw its decision to import

the radar defense system from L Defense.

What are you doing?
Did someone die or what?

Go have some breakfast.

What will you do now?

I'll just have to bow once.
It's not even a big deal.

Yes, Mr. Public Prosecutor General.
It's me.

How many times do I have to call you?

Because of an assistant chief?
Is that even an excuse?

If blocking the stream doesn't work,
you'll need to widen the path.

Extricate it.

Let it flow.

Summon and tell him right away.

There's a limit to my patience.

Father, let's eat.

Let's go. You need to feel energized
to start the day.

The Army Headquarters and Central Seoul
Prosecutors' Office promised

that they will work together
to bring the truth to light.

Great. That's the way it should be done.

My gosh, that's surprising.

I guess it is possible to stop
such schemes.

-Breaking news.
-Isn't that about us?

The special investigation team,
which arrested Police Chief Kim,

-for violating the Youth Protection Act,
-Ended successfully?

additionally charged
Prosecutor Joon-sik Gong with bribery

and ended
their investigation successfully.

PUBLIC PROSECUTOR GENERAL'S OFFICE

For effective investigation, Chief Kim
will be moved to the inspection office.

Prosecutor Gong will be sent
to the central investigation department

where he will continue to be investigated.

The special investigation team, which
judged the police and the prosecution,

will always be remembered
for the fair, transparent way

they carried out their investigation.

Well, how can they end
our investigation like this?

Those jerks.

That was a big slap in the face.

Right, Si-mok will come back.

Will they close the case like this
or deal with everything that has been...

Yes, I'm asking you to find out!

What if they want to arrest me as well?

HANJO GROUP

First of all,

I deeply regret

having to stand before all of you

because of such a dishonorable scandal.

Before I am a businessman,

I am a citizen of Korea.
I can assure all of you

that I was not aware of the fact

that the Ukraine company, L Defense,
is owned by Matsuyama Group.

My company, Hanjo Group,

was asked by the Ministry of National
Defense to act as L Defense's broker.

We wanted to make sure

that the deal goes through
for the sake of national defense,

but as soon as we found out that they're
affiliated with a Japanese company,

we started working
on annulling the contract.

Nonetheless,

our lack of thorough research
ended up greatly concerning you all.

It is

all my fault.

On behalf of Hanjo Group,

I would like to

apologize to all citizens of Korea.

I sincerely apologize.

SPECIAL PROSECUTOR
SI-MOK HWANG

BRIBERY CASE INVOLVING PROSECUTORS,
SPECIAL PROSECUTOR SI-MOK HWANG

Yes?

Who was that?

They told me to hurry up
so that they can tidy up.

How heartless.
Were they waiting for the announcement?

-Did they know about it?
-Now, we really have to part ways.

My gosh.

What's that?

HANJO GROUP

INVOLVED IN IL-JAE YOUNG'S CASE?

TAE-GYUN KIM DELIVERED
THE CASH TO IL-JAE YOUNG.

WHO WOULD'VE BEEN AFRAID
OF GA-YOUNG'S TESTIMONY?

It was for a short period of time,
but I know all of you did your best.

I sincerely appreciate it.

We were able to come this far
thanks to your hard work.

Good work, everyone.

Great work.

Thank you for everything.

Thank you for your hard work.

YONGSAN POLICE STATION

You all did a great job.

Thank you, Sun-chang.
You seem to be doing great.

What happened? Is he gone?

SERGEANT SU-CHAN KIM IS TERMINATED
DUE TO HARSHLY TREATING A SUSPECT.

How did this happen?

This hasn't been concluded yet.

Captain posted an apology on our intranet,

saying he should have stopped
Sergeant Kim but couldn't do so.

He also said he apologized to the victim
but felt that he made it worse.

He came clean about everything.

I don't know whether he did it to clear
his conscience or to pass the bomb along.

How can they dismiss him right away?
It's not like we're being inspected.

Our situation is bad now, you know.

I bet the high-ups
wanted him gone quickly.

Well, Kyung-wan.

Dong-jae Seo and Sergeant Kim are the ones
who are making you look like a liar.

I should've stopped Sergeant Kim that day.

This is probably why he did that.

His family will have to come back
to Korea now.

Goodness. That's what I'm worried about.

I think he had to send
his son abroad for a reason.

Was it ADHD?

Anyway, it sounded like
his son has some sort of problem.

What happened to Captain?

He's getting a pay cut for three months.

Did you receive everything?

I'll leave right now.

Where are you going?

Is it ready?

Go to 9:38 p.m. on April 25.

-Show me the footage from the complex.
-Sure.

That's it.

TRAFFIC DIVISION

The parking lot.

The playground.

The main entrance.

-Is it connected to the control system?
-Yes, ma'am.

Where did he go?

Ms. Young.

A penny for your thoughts?

You're back.

What's the matter with her?

-I have to meet with Mr. Kang briefly.
-Okay.

-I'm going that way.
-See you.

Have a good day.

You're back.

I'm sorry.

I failed to push through it
even with your support.

You don't owe me an apology,
and I don't really deserve one either.

Chief Woo-gyun Kim will be re-investigated

at the inspection office.
You know that, right?

Yes. What do you think will happen?

I'm not sure.

They're like a family, you know.

The fact that he received sexual favors
can't be refuted. The point is

if he hired someone to stab the girl

and killed Moo-sung Park the same way.
That's what needs to be investigated.

Will those at the inspection office
push things that far?

But I must say, even your
assisting officer's statement alone shows

that he wouldn't have the guts
to kill anyone.

He may not be a murderer, but he could be
guilty of attempted murder.

What does that mean?

-There's witness.
-Who?

Yeon-jae Lee, Chief Secretary Lee's wife.

What?

Hey, let's not go that far.

Did Chief Kim mention he saw
Ms. Yeon-jae Lee in the footage at all?

Not at all.

It's probably because he has to make it
look like nothing happened that day.

I'll submit a revised report soon.

Hey, we already have enough.
We can lock him up.

No, I'll send you a revised one.

Gosh, seriously.

DEPARTMENT CHIEF, DIVISION THREE
PROSECUTOR WON-CHUL KANG

The third one.

MAPO-DAERO 16-GIL

Let's check the one from that main road.

It's too far. Is there any camera
closer to where he is?

Try zooming in on the one we saw earlier.

Just print the original image for me.

No problem.

Shall I not bother?

Goodness!

No. The special investigation is over.
This will only make him feel uneasy.

What is that?

What should I do with this?

It's a list of companies for which
Moo-sung Park acted as a broker.

Are there that many companies?

Don't even get me started.

One bus company

was saved by him even though
the owner should've been cuffed.

They bumped up the number of buses
and changed their routes illegally.

The owner also got
his family members on the board

and split hundreds of millions of won
of subsidy among themselves.

How did Moo-sung Park save the company?

He got money from the owner of the company

and connected him with a public official
so that the company could operate.

He basically made money
through all possible means.

But you know what?

Even though we only dug up dirt
on Moo-sung Park,

we're realizing how corrupt everyone is
as we dig deeper.

I don't think Moo-sung Park is to blame.

I wonder if this shows where
the entire system of this country is at.

-You're back.
-Hello.

Yes.

-He wasn't in his office?
-No.

Oh, well.

He did tell me to check each case.

-Are you heading out?
-Yes.

See you later.

Well...

What should I do?

Gosh, seriously.

Why do you think the special investigation
was closed?

Nothing good will come out
of digging deeper

for both Mr. Hwang and us all.

Yes, you're right.

Please go through this. Here.

Gosh, I'm so hungry.

Why are you standing like that?
Come in and have a seat.

My wife isn't home at the moment.

I'll see if I can get you
something to drink.

Please don't worry. It's okay, sir.

It won't take long. Please have a seat.

Chang-jun must be

pretty upset at the moment.

The one he had his eye on
stabbed him in the back.

What does that mean, sir?

In the past, Chang-jun told me

that he discovered someone
who seems promising

but that he'd need to see whether
that person would be demoralized or not.

I believe it was
the ruling party's list of members.

It leaked in Suwon
and became a big problem.

The high-ups wanted to bury it,
but a complete newbie rebelled,

saying that they clearly
violated the election laws.

It totally stressed out your chief,
of course.

Yes, I'm talking about you.

It was immediately after you completed
your probationary period, right?

Yes, it was at Suwon Prosecutors' Office
where I was first stationed.

When Chang-jun heard about the argument
you had with the chief of your division

immediately after completing
your probationary period under him,

he said this.

"If Si-mok doesn't change over the course
of his career, we should be able

to look forward to his achievements."

But you bogged him down.

You're the one who stopped
the weapon import, right?

You knew about it?

I guess the CEO of Sungmoon Daily
hasn't changed at all.

He bit the bait right away.

It sounds like you already knew
about what happened

between Sungmoon and Hanjo in the past.

That jerk used to bother
Chang-jun so much.

Well, why did you come to see me?

Did you come all the way here
expecting me to thank you?

Please tell me

what you know.

Yun-beom Lee struck against you
because he was afraid.

What was he afraid of?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I'll do it. Please give it to me now.

Because of my job
which I thought was my calling,

my family had to suffer.

I've done nothing for my family.

Even to this day when I no longer
have to worry about my job or calling.

"To judicial officers,

justice will always be a one-sided love.

It's an ultimate ideal."

Sir, it's...

It's what you told us in our first class
at the training institute, Professor.

Please help me so that
I can follow your teaching.

What do you think justice is?

To me, justice is

the safety of my family and myself.

I've lived long enough

to realize that nothing
should come before that.

I have a doctor's appointment.

Well, I'll be back.

You should leave.

I will be back, sir.

To what do I owe the pleasure
of your call, Mr. Chief Secretary?

Are you all right, Father?

In business, you have to deal
with bigger losses at times.

When you do business, you need
to be able to transcend embarrassment.

Those in politics are unpredictable
and fickle-minded.

I'm used to dealing with them.

I'm fine, so don't worry about me
and just focus on state affairs.

Yes.

Okay.

Let Mr. Song of W Savings Bank know
that I'd like to meet with him.

Hansung Daily too.

-I understand, sir.
-Also, find someone we need for the plan.

Not someone like Moo-sung Park though.

Understood, sir. By the way...

What is it?

I think Prosecutor Si-mok Hwang
met with Il-jae Young.

I'm surprised the warning
you gave him didn't work.

I apologize, sir.

-I can give him another...
-No, don't.

Even if Il-jae made a pledge
that he'd never say or do anything,

if someone like Si-mok
keeps egging him on,

he'd end up making a reckless decision.

We shouldn't put it off any longer.

It must be somewhere in his house.

Go bring it.

Yes, sir.

Letting the stream flow obviously
didn't teach that prick any lesson.

Hello.

Hello, may I take a look
at your security camera footage?

HIRING TAXI DRIVERS

Oh, yes. I remember him.

He was holding an umbrella when it wasn't
even raining, so I thought he was crazy.

I think I dropped him off at the alley
right after Sinchang Station.

PRE-CONSTRUCTION PREMIUM APARTMENTS
AVAILABLE FOR SALE, FIFTH FLOOR

-I'll be back in a bit.
-See you later.

-Come in.
-Hello.

-Lieutenant Han!
-My gosh!

People will think you haven't seen me
in years. You saw me this morning.

I know, right?

Seeing you here makes me feel
as if I haven't seen you in ages.

We used to see each other every day.

-I'm sad I no longer get to see you often.
-Totally. Me too.

On my way here, I almost went
to the central district office.

-You're here.
-Yes, hi.

You should go in.

I have to head out.

Hey, Eun-soo.
Can you come to my office now?

I don't think I know this man.

Then, what about this man?

Did you meet the high school girl?

The only thing she remembers
is that his face was covered.

Showing her photos of Yun-beom Lee
or Chang-jun Lee wouldn't do much.

Yeon-jae Lee is a woman, so the girl
would've known if it was her.

We should add another person
to the list of potential informants.

Who is it?

Mr. Il-jae Young.

From the relationship
between Sungmoon and Hanjo

to how insecure the CEO of Sungmoon is,

he knows everything.

Considering everything,

he does fit the bill the most.

It goes with our hypothesis that
the culprit made sure Ga-young could live.

Mr. Young doesn't hold
any grudge against her, you know.

The method was perfect too.

Directly attacking Yun-beom Lee might make
what happened three years ago a repeat.

So he must've killed Moo-sung Park first
to attract public attention.

If he tips the media off after that...

He's also the one who benefited the most
from the special investigation.

A doer

who's determined.

I beg your pardon?

He fits the bill in terms
of everything else,

but he's far off in that regard.

In order to kill someone,
you must be very determined.

He's more of a theorist, not a doer.

I know that he has something
that can greatly threaten Yun-beom Lee.

But he's just been sitting on it
for three years.

What does Mr. Young have?

-Hello.
-Hello.

Have a seat.

The man you saw at my place yesterday.

Do you remember?

His clothes look similar.
I couldn't see his face,

but I think it was this umbrella.

Yes, it was this umbrella.

Why do you ask?

Did he really come out of your place?

Did something happen?

No, nothing happened.

Can you send me soft copies
of these photos?

That's all. Thank you for your help.

You must've found these images
because something happened.

Aren't they from a security camera?

It's really nothing.

We just looked into it
because he looked suspicious.

You should get back to work.

Why aren't you telling me anything?

Because I have nothing to tell you.

Go on.

-See you around.
-Yes, see you.

You should be nicer to Ms. Young.

I was nice to her.

I know that he has something
that can greatly threaten Yun-beom Lee.

But he's just been sitting on it
for three years.

What does Mr. Young have?

Hello? This is
Prosecutor Si-mok Hwang's office.

Pardon?

Oh, sure.

If he's someone from Hanjo,
Dong-jae must've seen him.

I've sent him these photos,
so I'll hear from him soon.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

You'll need to go upstairs now, Mr. Hwang.

Why? Where, exactly?

They've just announced the appointment
of our new chief prosecutor.

You should go. Here, I'll take that.

There's been a lot of changeovers.

Right, Jung-bon told me about
what happened to your captain.

Yes.

I'm going.

Yes, did you get the photos?

Hey, how can you send me
things like these?

Have you forgotten where I work now?

Do you know him?

No, I don't.
There's something more important.

-I think Mr. Lee has figured it out.
-Figured out what?

The fact that you and I
have been talking secretly.

I think he tested me.

Looks like he told me
and Ms. Yang different things

in order to see
which information leaks out.

You were too obvious
about tipping them off on Matsuyama...

It was your doing, wasn't it?

By the way, what are these photos about?
Who's this man?

He sneaked into my place.

When you were home? Did you see him?

No, I wasn't home at the time.
Eun-soo saw him.

-She saw him from behind...
-All right. Talk to you later.

-Headed to the Chief Prosecutor's office?
-Yes.

Who is this man?

You must be so excited.

Please help me out too.

Congratulations, Mr. Kang.

Thank you.

-Congratulations.
-Thank you.

CHIEF PROSECUTOR
WON-CHUL KANG

Isn't it really cool?

There's been a series of surprising news
since this morning.

It doesn't mean they're hasty decisions.

Your name plaque is on its way too.

Mine?

You, division chiefs,
should meet each other.

This is the new chief
of Criminal Division Three,

Si-mok Hwang.

Congratulations, Mr. Hwang.

Congratulations, Mr. Hwang.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

All right. I think that's enough.

Let's get back to work.

-You two, stay.
-Yes, sir.

CHIEF PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE

One skipped a level
and became a chief prosecutor.

The same thing with the other one.
He's now a division chief.

Is everyone getting promoted like that?

You should've brought it up earlier.
The hierarchy is becoming messed up.

Why should hierarchy matter anyway?

We should just focus on our own work.

This means that one of us three will be
promoted to deputy chief prosecutor.

One of us three?

We have years on you.

Thank you two for the hard work.

Just think of it as you finally coming
back to your home.

I will, sir.

Were you surprised to see
someone else at your desk?

Yes, a little.

You'll move to the investigation division.

That way, you'll work more directly
with me than in Case Management.

-Sure.
-You're happy with that, right?

Are we good now?

Excuse me, sir.

Yes, Lieutenant.

What? What happened at the hospital?

A reporter sneaked into the ward.

Ga-young's mom asked me
what she should do,

but I have to go to the inspection office
now because of Chief Kim.

So does Detective Jang.

Are you busy now?

-I'm tied up now too.
-What's the matter?

With reporters, even one finding
can lead to everything being disclosed.

-All right. I'll figure something out.
-Is it about Ga-young?

-Want me to go there?
-Hold on.

Mr. Yoon says he can go.

All right. I'll call you later.

A reporter sneaked into the ward
Ga-young is in.

I'll go see if we should move her.
I'll call you.

I'm surprised that
it didn't happen sooner.

We're living in a world where we can know
what complete strangers ate all day.

Come sit with me.

Ten months.

Starting with the Travis County
District Attorney's Office in Texas,

you'll visit one state per month
for ten months.

You'll visit the US attorney's offices,
the FBI

and the Drug Enforcement Administration.

You can send me monthly reports via email.

Isn't it amazing?

Why do I have to think that it's amazing?

Let everything go.

Just leave for now
and become more qualified.

More qualified for what?

You have to question everything,
don't you?

When the Public Prosecutor General
offered me this position,

what do you think I thought?

"He must be scared shitless."

I butted heads with him last night,
and you ended up getting disbanded.

Then he summoned me,

so I thought he'd fire me for sure.

But he offered me this.

You've accepted a chalice with poison.

I refuse to drink from that chalice.

What do you mean? Are you saying
you won't accept the promotion?

It makes no sense in this situation.

I'm sorry.

Saying no to the promotion doesn't mean
you can keep your current position.

You'll have to leave no matter what.

Please give me some time.

I need ten days.

Why ten days?

Because I made a promise.

What promise?

I promised that I'd catch
the culprit in two months

and there are only ten days left now.

You're still hung up on that?

-Only you remember it.
-Because I remember it,

the culprit must remember it too.

Will you be able to keep the promise?

I have to.

I'll leave after ten days.

Go and keep your promise.

CHIEF PROSECUTOR
WON-CHUL KANG

Thank you.

Ms. Choi, the ward Ga-young is in...

My gosh, Mr. Division Chief is here.

Congratulations, Mr. Hwang.

-We won't move to a different office.
-What?

You have to move to your new office.

I'm not getting promoted.
Unpack everything.

Well, it's been posted on our intranet.

Yes, Mr. Yoon.

I'm on my way there now
and I just called the hospital.

They said Ga-young isn't there.

What? She's not there?

Did she get discharged?

No. Her mom didn't pick up, so I asked
the hospital staff to check for me.

The nurse said she saw Ga-young's mom
leaving with a man.

-Who's the man?
-She doesn't know.

What should I do?

Do you happen to know Ga-young's
mom's address? Shall I go there?

No, don't.

Go to the hospital first.

Where's Ga-young's file?

Oh, it's...

-Where did it go?
-It should be somewhere here.

PROSECUTOR YOUNG

-What's up?
-Mr. Hwang, do you have some time now?

Is it urgent?

I want to talk to you briefly.

PERSONAL DETAILS REPORT

Well, I'll call you back in a bit.

-I have to go.
-Okay.

What's happening?

She's not around the hospital.
I'll find out where she could be.

Ga-young.

Is Ga-young's mother there?

Ga-young.

Lieutenant, I heard that
a man took Ga-young...

Mr. Hwang, I'm headed to Garwol-dong now.

Garwol-dong?

We got a call about a dead body.

It's Daejun Villa,
the place where Ga-young used to live.

A young woman's body was found there.

NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE

ALL EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.

STRANGER

You have to track down where Ga-young is.

How can he be like that?

Even I feel sick to my stomach.

You said she was your colleague.
Will you be all right?

Please begin.

Even catching the killer won't erase
their wound from this, will it?

How's your head by the way?

Not now.

No...

Please...
