(All characters, organizations,
and events in this drama are fictitious.)

(Episode 1)

The questioning was a hassle,
wasn't it?

When you yelled at the prosecutors...

to do their jobs properly,

I wet myself.

Those punks think they have power.

Even if they stand for justice,
they're mere employees of the state.

Do you know the weakness
of those employed by the state?

(Sky Hotel)

They lack this.

Get enough of this into their pockets,

and you'll reign over them.

Take what happened recently
for instance.

They sent a car
to pick me up for questioning.

Who's he?

Not so fast.

We're police on duty.

For our boss' good health.

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

CEO of Rich Fund, Kim Hyung Gyun.

(Lee Chul Ki,
National Police Agency)

We're with the police.

You are to come with us.

Take him in.

Which department are you from?

You don't even have a warrant.

What do you think you're doing?

Mr. Kim?

Mr. Kim.

Hold up.

Coppers these days have no manners.

Even mutts are allowed
to have their fun.

Who are you?

(Jin Jung, Prosecutors' Office)

You get the situation now, don't you?

Anyway, the prosecutors' office
will take custody of that man.

Come on.

It's okay, so come with me.

Any complaints should be forwarded
to the district office.

Still, you did well.

And it was a pleasure to meet you.

I just hope it's our last encounter.

- Shall we?
- Mr. Kim.

Mr. Kim!

Who on earth are you?

I apologize, sir.
But I had to play along earlier.

Allow me to formally
introduce myself.

I'm Prosecutor Jin Jung
from Criminal Division Three.

Forget the introduction.

What I need is an explanation.

We should head down.
I'll tell you on the way.

Darn it.

(Sky Hotel)

The court signed off
on your arrest warrant.

What?

The prosecution and the police
are all after you.

(Arrest Warrant Issued for
CEO Kim Hyung Gyun of Rich Fund...)

(Regarding Violation
of Capital Market Act)

No one knows I'm here though.

We must leave
before those cops figure it out.

Come on.

Darn it.

(Breaking News)

(Prosecution Dismisses
CEO Kim's Embezzlement Charge)

Jin Jung, was it?

Yes, sir.

I failed to ask earlier
due to the hectic situation.

How did you know where to find me?

To be honest,

I had been waiting.

I had been waiting
to finally be of help to you.

You know how it is as a prosecutor.

Honor is bestowed upon us
but with no money to pay rent.

Gosh, I apologize.

How silly of me to say that.

Are you asking me to be your sponsor?

Gosh, of course not.
How could I ask such a thing?

All I want...

is for you to remember my name.

That is more than enough.

Thank you, Prosecutor Jin.

I won't forget today's incident.

It was my pleasure.

Sir.

I'm afraid you must handle
the most pressing matter first.

The ledger of bribes given to
the Financial Supervisory Service...

to keep your company's
poor finances hidden.

You must hide it elsewhere...

before you get arrested by
the authorities.

If those coppers
get to it before you do,

things will take a bad turn.

I'll take care of it.

Of course.

Good night, sir.

Gosh.

Goodness.

How are you here?

Isn't it obvious?

I followed you.

You're a smart one, aren't you?

I had my guesses,
but this is where you hit it.

What on earth?

Has this been your plan all along?

Well...

If you must put it that way...

Soon, you'll be shooting laser beams
from your eyes.

The one to blame is the dupe,

not the one who dupes.

We'll talk about the rest
in the interrogation room.

Kim Hyung Gyun,
for embezzlement, bribery,

violation of the Capital Market Act,

and attempted destruction of evidence,

you are under arrest.

Seriously. You shouldn't come
to places like this alone.

You punk.

Here's a thing with you criminals.

You guys always fail
to see two steps ahead.

Listen, Mr. Kim Hyung Gyun.

I never told you I came here alone.

- What?
- I'm a prosecutor.

Do you think
I didn't see this coming?

Chul Ki, come on out.

You tough guys
should brace yourselves.

He packs a mean punch.

Wait. A timeout.

"A timeout?"

- Hey, where are you?
- I'm sorry, sir.

What are you talking about?
I told you to follow me earlier.

But the thing is...

Where are you?

Hello? Jin Jung. Where are you?

What? Well...

- But what are you doing there?
- I'm here to stop you.

What on earth are you doing?

And who are these people?

I found them at an acting school.

We work in the Criminal Division.

Why are you going after him?

The Anti-Corruption Division cut him loose
because there was no evidence.

So I wanted to find evidence.

And I found it too.

But I'm sure you know too...

that the higher-ups are in bed
with him.

It's not like
they couldn't prosecute this guy.

They chose not to.

Even so, you must follow the rules.

If you do this, we'll be turning
Anti-Corruption Division against us.

- What are you doing?
- Based on the circumstances,

- Wait.
- they might think this means war.

- She can be scary. Sorry.
- All because of what you did.

Come back to the office now.

The deputy chief doesn't want us
to get involved in this either.

No, I don't want to stop now.
I'm Jin Jung.

What else must I say?

Hey, Jin Jung. Prosecutor Jin!

Hey, you little...

Dismissed!

Let's be fair. You can't use tools.
That's cheating.

Why do you have a hammer? What?

You guys brought out the tools first.

Don't blame me later.

Gosh. What's taking so long?
We don't have all night.

Did you hide a gun in there?

A gun? I'm not even allowed
to shoot that thing.

Did I put it in the trunk?

Where is it? Darn it.

- What do you have there?
- Right here.

Head.

Gosh, that hurts.

Who wants to go first?

Come on. Don't just stand there.

Gosh.

You don't know when to quit.

Put it down, or you'll regret it.

(Bad Prosecutor)

(Seoul Central District

(Prosecutors' Office)

Jin Jung.

Who do you think you are?

A prosecutor.

A prosecutor.

How could you call yourself that
after breaking ranks,

not following orders,
and breaking the principles...

and dignity of prosecutors?

Right. I'm still a prosecutor.

Criminal Division Three
of the Central District Office.

Haven't you heard
of a rhetorical question?

What a mystery.

Seriously. This is a big mystery.

How did someone like you
become a prosecutor?

Gosh. There's no trick.

I was just talented
and fated to be one.

I decided it
when I witnessed my first injustice.

"Gosh. I should teach her a lesson."

(Thank you.)

How heavy.

What's wrong with this?

What?

Who did this?

Who did it?

- Who did this?
- Yes.

You drive me crazy.
Do you know that?

What are you going to become
when you grow up?

Goodness!

I know what I want to be
when I grow up.

Like what?

I'm going to be a swordsman!

I thought it was cool.
Being a guardian of justice.

- So that had become my dream.
- Head!

- Great! Nice.
- That was good.

(The Selection of Kendo Players
for the National Team)

Gosh.

(Judges)

Head! I did it, right?

(Korean Kendo Association)

What?

Why are you looking at each other?

Are you guys secret buddies
or something?

(Do Soo Hyun, the second son
of the Korean Kendo Association)

Come on.

Sure, I was holding a sword in a way.

But the sword I was holding
couldn't do anything meaningful.

And it was far
from bringing justice anyway.

(Ceremony Held
for 34 Newly Appointed Prosecutors)

I thought I was foolish
in chasing my dream.

So I decided to work for my mom.

But at that moment...

(Newly Appointed Prosecutors)

my fate had found me.

My true fate
of becoming a prosecutor...

who can punish all the bad guys.

(Essential Exam to Prevent Dementia)

("Black Swordsman")

(Newly Appointed Prosecutors)

Next, the prosecutors' oath
will be recited.

(Congratulations
on your commissions as prosecutors.)

Jin Jung. The representative
of newly appointed prosecutors.

Jin Jung. The representative
of newly appointed prosecutors.

Come to the podium.

Is Prosecutor Jin Jung not here?

I'm here!

I'm sorry.
I thought it was tomorrow.

I'm sorry.

All right. I'll take the photo now.

In 1, 2.

One more time.

- Right. I've heard of that story.
- In 1, 2.

A guy showed up with a kendo stick
in a tracksuit for the ceremony.

I thought
it was just a bizarre rumor.

Gosh, it's not a bizarre rumor.
It's more like a story of a hero.

I was born to be a prosecutor since birth.
Something like that.

So you should be nicer to me.

You shouldn't treat me like this.
I don't deserve this.

Come on.

I told you to leave Mr. Kim alone.
Didn't I?

You did.

Then how am I supposed
to understand your action?

Why do you keep defying my order,
meddle with a case that's not yours,

and cause trouble?

You just got off your training wheels,
and it's been only a year.

You're just a "green chick."

Chicks are yellow.

Let's not go too far, Jin Jung.

I wake up in the middle of the night
because of you.

And why...

Why would a prosecutor
carry around a wooden sword?

Because I can't carry around
a real sword.

It's dangerous.

Okay.

Get out.

Get out and write an apology.

Goodbye.

(Written Apologies)

(Written Apologies)

I bet I can just change the date.

She won't know.

(Apology, February 10, 2021)

(Apology, August 24, 2022)

(Apology, Criminal Division 3,
Prosecutor Jin Jung)

These are for you, Prosecutor Jin.

What's the point of getting them?

They must be some trivial cases.

Goodness. See?

Obstruction of business.
Drunk and disorderly.

Urination on the street.

This is why I always go out.

They've been assigning me
to these things for a year now.

(Assault and Murder Case
of Park Ye Young in Seocho-dong)

You didn't bring this by mistake,
right?

(Personal information of the suspect)

(Analysis of the murder weapon)

(He took the knife block...)

(and hit Park Ye Young's head
several times.)

(He spent a day with the body.)

(He turned himself in
at the murder scene.)

(He confessed that he did it alone.)

Hello?

We're the police.

Is anyone home?

Call for backup.

Headquarters.
I'm calling for backup.

We're at Beomi-ro, 77-gil.
I'm calling for backup.

Beomi-ro, 77-gil.
Confirming your call for backup.

(Quick Delivery)

Put your hands up.

(Quick Delivery)

Goodness.

It's nice to meet you.

Put it away before I break your wrist.

Let's begin.

Mr. Kim Hyo Jun,
you're being questioned...

as the suspect of the assault
and the murder of Ms. Park Ye Young.

Under Article 224 of the Penal Code,

you have the right to refuse
to testify if it's against you.

If you give up your right and testify,

it can be used as evidence
of your guilt.

I'll stop being polite now.

Do you get it?

Yes.

Let's hear it.

Tell me why you're sitting there.

(Quick Delivery)

Delivery.

I'll leave it here.

- My goodness, I'm sorry.
- Gosh.

Sorry.

Apologize to me again.

I told you I was sorry.

Be careful next time.

Okay.

Gosh, what a jerk.

- What did you say?
- Pardon?

What did you just say?

I didn't say anything.

Let go.

I'll call the police
if you keep doing this.

- Call the police then.
- Help! There's...

What did you say?

That's why you killed her?

Because you felt bad?

Yes.

You killed her and turned yourself in
the next day.

Why? You could've turned yourself in
on the day you killed her.

I slept because I was tired.

I didn't know,
but they don't die that easily.

So in the end,

I was exhausted.

Why did you turn yourself in?

I was going to get caught anyway.

It'll be extenuated, right?

I heard about the murder case
in Seocho-dong.

What are you doing here?

There's going to be a get-together
of the whole Criminal Division.

At 7 p.m. at Cheongshimgwan.

I see. But today, I...

You were the only one
who didn't come last year.

The deputy chief is
going to be there too,

so be there no matter what.

Well...

But I have a case...

The situation and evidence are solid.

He made a confession too.

You can prosecute him,
so what's bothering you?

(Ministry of Justice)

Nothing.

But something feels off.

Try to be objective.

Everything is in the report.

Don't trust anything
and focus on the documents.

That's what prosecutors do.

(Crime scene)

Gosh, what excuse should I make?

A Ra, I'm sorry.

I forgot...

to turn off the gas at home. Sorry.

Let's head to the team dinner.

Good evening, sir.

- Good evening, Deputy Chief.
- Good evening, Deputy Chief.

Shall we?

(Cheongshimgwan)

Are your glasses filled?

What is our division's motto?
With P, G, and E.

Perseverance.

- Guts and energy.
- Guts and energy.

Whatever.

Hold on.

We're here to unite as a team.
That being said,

shouldn't the toast mean more
when we say it together?

I apologize, sir.
I just haven't had raw fish in a while.

Mr. Kim, this was the last thing
I wished to say, but...

Then don't say it.

Sorry, sir. That was my inner voice.

I had no idea you were this energetic.

No one speaks to themselves
that loudly.

Please don't mind him, sir.

I'll be sure to teach him
some manners.

What?

Darn it.

Sorry, everyone.

Please excuse us.

No, don't bother.

It's not just his fault.

The blame falls...

on his supervisor.

No, sir. I'm the one to blame.

- I should've informed him...
- Prosecutor Shin.

I apologize, sir.
I will see to the problem.

Let us drink, then.

For the Criminal Division.

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

(You're...)

You're dead meat.

(From Shin A Ra: You're dead meat.)

Why force me here, then?

I'm baffled as is regarding my case.

I hate to disturb you,

but your watch stem
is not on the same side as mine.

Why is that?

This watch is for a lefty.

A lefty?

Jin Jung, you punk. Get over here.

Have you no manners...

Thanks, A Ra.

I owe it to you. Anyway, I'm off.

Where are you going? Stop!

Don't you take another step.

Hey!

That darn moron!

What am I going to do with you?

Darn it.

His fingerprints
were found at the scene.

There's nothing surprising...

about that...

for he was at the scene
with the body.

Fingerprints from a right hand
were found on the murder weapon.

But Kim Hyo Jun is a lefty.

However, the fingerprints
were from his right hand.

It just doesn't add up.

It's today's special, raw blowfish.

My gosh.

I'm sorry,
but I can't hold my liquor.

Just take a glass.

It's my way of thanking you.

Right. Then I'll accept the gesture.

Come on. The bottle's heavy enough.

Sure.

The glass should be held
in your right hand.

I'm sorry about that.
I'm left-handed, you see.

As if that's an excuse.

Take it in your right hand.

I'm sorry.

But all my life, my left hand
has been the dominant one.

I apologize.

You darn punk.
How dare you talk back to me.

Hey. Don't you know who I am?

I'm sorry, sir.

Not again.

I'm the deputy chief
of the Prosecutors' Office.

So who are you to talk back to me?

You think you're above me
because you can slice up a blowfish?

I apologize.

You darn punk.
How dare you put down your glass.

Sir, you seem to be drunk.
Let's call it a night.

Let go of me!

Many eyes are on you, sir.

You are up for promotion,

so the last thing you need
is a scandal.

Please watch the steps.

- Good night, sir.
- Good night, sir.

- Gosh.
- I'm so tired.

All that drinking we had to endure.

Prosecutor Shin.

Yes, sir.

This was supposed
to be a team dinner,

but they didn't get to eat.

Get them something they want.

Thank you.

I'm off. Have a good night.

Sure. Have a safe trip home.

- Mr. Kim's heading home...
- Hey.

Don't.

Why do you want to paint me
as an old-fashioned boomer?

Was it that obvious?

- I'm off, then.
- Sure.

- Don't drink too much.
- Got it.

Can we get beef?

It's on me, not the office.

- Good night, sir.
- Good night.

- Darn.
- Tell me about it.

The case report?

Yes, I'm the one who wrote it.

Is there an issue?

No, but I wanted to check
a few things.

A few things?

The suspect's fingerprints
were found on the murder weapon.

Fingerprints from his right hand.

- So?
- Isn't that odd?

From what I know,
the suspect is left-handed.

The suspect wrote
this confession himself, right?

Yes, he did. He wrote this...

I want to watch
your interrogation video.

Why do you suddenly want
to watch the video?

I doubt that he wrote that down here.

I just need to check
which hand he wrote this with.

Bring me the video.

Shouldn't you go and get the video?

Gosh. I can't take this anymore.
This is insulting.

What do you think you're doing here?

Are you implying
that I didn't do my job?

You're a prosecutor.
Stay behind your little desk.

Stop poking holes now.

What you're doing right now
is inconveniencing the police.

That's none of my business.
Just get me that video.

Where's the interrogation video?

The hard drives
are under maintenance.

I'll send it over once it's over.

Go back to your office. Okay?

Cops don't let prosecutors
walk all over them.

Go back unless
you want to end up in trouble.

You will end up in trouble,

not me.

How much money did you get?

What?

How much money did you get
for deleting the video?

(Vehicle Purchase Agreement)

About 80 million won?

With an additional 5 million won?

Unbelievable. How dare you
accuse me of something like that?

I bought them with my own money.
So what?

People who claim to have paid
out of their pocket...

are always caught lying.

Get your hands off me. No?

- No.
- No?

- No.
- You little...

- I told you to let go.
- I said no.

- Hey. Come on.
- Stop it.

- Darn it.
- Cut it out.

- You little...
- Just leave.

- I'm coming back.
- Just go.

Get your hands off me.

Do you know who I am?

How old are you?

- How old am I?
- Don't.

You'd better be ready.
I'm coming back.

- Gosh.
- Come on.

Darn it.

They didn't catch me, right?

- You little... I said to let go.
- No.

- Unbelievable.
- Stop it.

Run a forensic analysis.
Put a rush on it.

Yes, sir.

- Where have you been?
- You startled me.

What are you doing in my office?

- Only ghosts do that.
- Shut it.

What is this?

Why do you still have this case?

Something about that case
doesn't add up.

Can you give me some time
for my sake?

I won't do anything for your sake.

Prosecute him by the end of today.

Come on.

I told you something didn't add up.

Like what?

Give me some time.
I'm investigating now.

You give me no choice.

Bring all of the case files
to my desk.

A Ra.

Jung. Do what I say first.

Anyone can drag out a case
based on mere suspicion.

Do you have definitive evidence
that allows you to investigate?

It's well-past lunchtime.

(Statement of Facts)

(Kim Hyo Jun)

You want time
to investigate this case.

Yes. There are some things
I don't fully understand,

so I can't prosecute him yet.

No, sir. You can ignore
what he said.

The suspect's fingerprints
were found at the scene.

And the suspect confessed
that he killed the girl.

Yet, you still need more time.

Says Mr. Troublemaker
of Criminal Division.

Right. I believe
I need to investigate more.

What if I don't allow it?

I will still pursue it.

(Assault and Murder Case
of Park Ye Young in Seocho-dong)

Go ahead.

You should get to the bottom of it
if you aren't completely sure.

The first step of being a prosecutor
is making sure that...

you leave no stone unturned

Thank you, sir.

Give it your best shot.

Okay.

Give it your best shot.

Why is the cord pulled out?

I doubt there's any footage left.

I don't think it's working.

Come back down.

This is Lee Chul Ki speaking.

Okay.

Sir, the forensic analysis is done.

(Seocho Police Station)

He was on a call with someone
after the case got filed.

The call lasted a minute.

The number belongs
to a burner phone.

What about his bank account?

Nothing unusual popped up.

But I was able to get...

the text messages
between him and his wife.

(Analysis Report on Text Messages)

(Honey, what's the cash
in the closet?)

(It's emergency money.)

Should I start the process
to summon him?

We got this illegally.
This will backfire.

Let's face this head-on.

- Detective, get in.
- What are you doing?

We don't have much time. Hurry.

- What's going on?
- Get in already!

- Why?
- Get in now.

- What's going on?
- Close the door.

- What is it?
- Listen.

- What was that?
- How come he didn't pass out?

- Hold him. Come on, hurry.
- I got him.

- Wait. Get him. Tighten it.
- Hey!

- Don't move.
- Choke him.

- What if he really passes out?
- Sorry.

- Gosh.
- Don't move.

Gosh, we're doing this
in front of the police station.

Let's get out of here.

He really passed out.

Goodness.

(Kim Tae Ho, Prosecutors' Office)

Why did you allow more time
for the Seocho-dong murder case?

A woman in her 20s was killed.

She was assaulted and murdered.

All the threats the public despises
are in this case.

Don't you understand what I mean?

The bereaved family filed a complaint.

Before they threaten to hold
a press conference...

and this goes south,

prosecute him.

Mr. Kim, did you hear me?

I'm sorry, but I don't think
I can follow your order.

What?

As you said,
the public is enraged by this case.

That's why our approach
must be more careful.

So you will defy my order...

even when I just told you
to close the case right away?

It's a shame
if you see it as defying your order.

Hey, Kim Tae Ho!

Before you yell at me,
I would like to ask you a question.

You're telling me
to close the case quickly.

I would like to know
the real reason behind it.

Is this about your nomination
as the district head prosecutor?

If not, I will continue
with the investigation.

(Deputy Chief Prosecutor
Lee Jang Won)

Are you okay now?

You crazy jerk.

Hey, who do you think you are?

Can a prosecutor
do something like this?

Yes, I can.

Especially to jerks like you.

Do you know what I learned
while doing this job?

What is it?

To catch guys like you,

I need to be crueler
and stab them harder in the back.

You're making a big mistake.

You won't get away with this
if you get caught.

Listen. I'll just let it slide,

so untie me.

Gosh, you really don't know
what's going on here.

Detective.

If I was going to let you go,

why would I bring you here
in the first place?

Cops aren't the only ones who think
it's okay if they don't get caught.

I'm okay if I don't get caught.

Let's get to the point.
Who gave you the order?

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

This is your last chance.

The footage
of Kim Hyo Jun's interrogation.

Who told you to erase it?

Well, I...

Wait.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'll try it again.

Wait! Hold on.

I really don't know who it is.

They just told me
to erase the footage.

Kim Hyo Jun's written statement.

Was it written by his left hand
or his right hand?

Well...

I...

I'm asking you a question here!
Which hand was it?

It was his left hand.

Okay. Where's the footage?

Pardon?

I'm sure
you didn't erase it completely...

for your own sake in the future.

I burned the whole hard disk.

All right.
I'll give you a chance then.

A chance for you to do
what's right as a human being.

Okay.

What do you want me to do?

(Statement of Facts)

Write.

(Statement of Facts)

What?

This case was wrong from the start.

Kim Hyo Jun isn't the culprit.

I got it confirmed by the detective
who was in charge of this case.

We need to reinvestigate it then.
Where are you now?

I'm reinvestigating it now.

(Seoul Dongha Detention Center)

What brings you here?

I thought I would see you at court.

How is it to stay in prison?
Are you doing okay?

Are you worrying about me?

Of course not.

I don't care about murderers.

Even though they might be innocent.

You're a funny man.

Are you saying I'm not the culprit?

Why are you asking me that?
You know better than me.

Listen, Kim Hyo Jun.

A woman in her 20s
was brutally assaulted and killed.

But the suspect...

isn't showing any remorse
and laughing all the way.

I'm going to demand
the maximum sentence.

Stopping a jerk like you
from coming back to this society...

is my duty.

But...

what if you're not the culprit?

I got this from the detective
who was in charge of your case.

Read it.

(Statement of Facts)

(Kim Hyo Jun is assumed
to be left-handed.)

(But the murder weapon
used in this case...)

(only had fingerprints
from a right hand.)

Are you still going to hold out?

Who is it?

Who wants you to shut up
and stay here?

I know you didn't do it.

Who is it?

Let me tell you one thing.

I did it.

I'm the one who killed her.

Okay?

Don't come here again.

Let's go.

He's making me competitive.

The whole nation is furious
about the Seocho-dong murder case.

There's a suspicion that...

the prosecution is deliberately
not pressing charges...

when the prime suspect is arrested.

Investigative power between
the prosecution and the police...

has been restructured recently,

and now the police have the power
to terminate an investigation.

It's suspected that the prosecution
is delaying the investigation...

on purpose to show complaints
about the matter,

and it's becoming controversial.

You're Prosecutor Jin Jung...

who's in charge of
the Seocho-dong murder case, right?

Why are you not pressing charges
against the suspect?

There are allegations about you
delaying the case on purpose.

Please comment on this matter.

Newspapers and TV channels are
going crazy about this.

They're asking why
you're holding on to the case...

when the police sent it to us
after the investigation.

Prosecutor Jin is
working on this case.

Please wait a little more, sir.

(The Incompetent Prosecution
is Delaying the Case.)

This order is from the higher level.

(Suspicions About the Reconstruction
of Investigative Power Arise.)

As of this moment,
you two are off this case.

Prosecutor Jin.
Take a rest for a few days.

I'm sorry
for not having enough power.

Why are you sorry?

You're not the one who's stopping me
from investigating.

What are you going to do now?

I'll go and meet him.

The prosecutor,
who is taking over the case.

Yes?

(Statement of Facts)

Reinvestigate the case?

Yes.

This case was fabricated
from the beginning...

to make Kim Hyo Jun the culprit.

This isn't a simple murder case.

There must be someone who's
behind this that we don't know yet.

Someone who's behind this?

Someone who can pay
tens of millions of won...

to plant fingerprints on
the murder weapon and erase footage.

I'm sure it's someone with power.

There must be a connection
with the victim.

That sounds like fiction.

It's not fiction.

If you look at the statement...

Prosecutor Jin.

Let's not talk about the statement.

You know that a statement...

that was forced to be written
has no legal force.

Of course.
What you're saying could be true.

It's common for the prosecution to
press charges on the wrong people.

However,
there's nothing we can do about it.

They've given me orders
to press the charge,

and I have no choice
but to follow that order.

We're just a member
of this organization.

We have to keep our jobs.

We have to endure it
even when it's unfair, right?

Why would you endure it
when it's unfair?

When it's unfair,
you must fix it and not endure it.

If you can't reinvestigate,

please delay the trial
for a few days.

I can't let this case go like this.

I'm going to catch the real culprit
no matter what.

Please help me, Do Hwan.

Why are you so into this case?

It's not like you know the victim
or something.

Are you trying to be truthful?

Trying not to leave anyone
who's wrongfully charged...

as a prosecutor,

- which is typical.
- No.

It's nothing like that.

He's just unlucky.

I mean the real culprit.

It's unfortunate since
I was given the case.

Gosh, so the rumors are true.

What now?

A postponement of trial?

Thanks, Do Hwan. I appreciate it.

(Statement of Facts)

You are to take over
the Seocho-dong murder case.

To my knowledge,
Prosecutor Jin is handling it.

What's important...

is that this is a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity for you.

The southern district office
has an opening.

They need someone to lead
the white-collar division.

As you know, it's a key post.

What do you say?

From what I can tell,

it has your name
written all over it.

(Deputy Chief Prosecutor
Lee Jang Won)

I won't ask why you are
deeply invested in this case.

An everyday murder...

can harbor another's secret.

- What's your answer?
- Offer something bigger, sir.

Something like...

(Deputy Chief Prosecutor
Lee Jang Won)

Who knew...

that I was raising a tiger?

(Statement of Facts)

(Statement of Facts)

Case number 2022B54.

The assault and murder case
against Kim Hyo Jun...

is ruled as follows.

Deputy Chief Prosecutor
Lee Jang Won...

has been appointed as
the new district head prosecutor.

District Head Prosecutor Lee...

According to Article 260
of the Penal Code,

he is declared guilty.

According to Article 250
of the Penal Code,

he is declared guilty.

The heinous nature of the crime...

and his lack of remorse...

as well as
the bereaved family's petition...

for a heavy sentence
were considered.

We hereby sentence Kim Hyo Jun
to 20 years in prison.

There was enough to reinvestigate.

Why did you push
for an early indictment?

Because it was reasonable.

You must've been promised
something huge.

From Deputy Chief Lee, I mean.

(Prosecution Service)

(Jin Jung, Prosecutors' Office)

I'm afraid you have limited access
while on suspension.

All security guards,
report to the security office.

Got it.

This will surprise everyone.

Who knew that the ace, Prosecutor Oh,

was actually rotten on the inside?

You'd gladly
frame people for a crime...

just to climb up the social ladder.

Did you come all this way
to tell me that?

What?

You must have
free time on your hands...

to stick your nose
into others' businesses.

I'm not sticking my nose anywhere.
This is about doing what's right.

As a prosecutor of the state,

we should at least
have a clear conscience.

Why did you do it?

Answer me, you jerk.
Why did you do it?

Are you naive or just dumb?

What?

What do you think our job is
as prosecutors?

Are we to fight for justice,
the truth, and rights?

I truly hope
that's not what you believe.

I can assure you...

that no one here believes that.

This is a place
where you can cover up dirt...

and manipulate cases
just to reach the top.

Connections and backgrounds...

can keep those guilty
from being indicted.

The lesser can be sacrificed
for the greater good,

and anyone who doesn't fit in
can be ostracized.

A place where
a faulty lone wolf like you...

could never survive to save the day!

That is the place known
as the prosecutors' office.

Prosecutor Jin.

Let's get together sometime
with Deputy Chief Lee.

Think of this
as a learning experience.

Are you naive or just dumb?

What?

What do you take me for?

Don't be mistaken
for I'm aware of the truth.

I know that you see me as faulty...

and that this is as rotten
as you described.

Do you know
what the real issue is though?

You keep crossing the line
just because I choose to play dumb.

Jin Jung, don't.

In this case,
you crossed it big time.

That's why...

I'm going to take all of you down.

(Bad Prosecutor)

As of today, I was transferred
to the Civil Affairs Division.

The name is Park Jae Kyung.

You should spill,
or he will drop you for real.

Really?

He runs a hostess bar in Gangnam.

I think he's in business
with Deputy Chief Lee.

Get Prosecutor Jin for me.

I don't see bad guys as human beings.

We have a search and seizure warrant.

How dare you act like
the district head prosecutor?

Let's take down
Deputy Chief Lee together.

Here's the primary ground rule.

Everything will be done my way.

Get Yoo Jin Chul to China.

It's the 10 p.m. flight to Shanghai.
Arrest Yoo Jin Chul.

He took off. It's over.

No, there's still a way.

We'll do something crazy.
