All language subtitles for Diary of a Prosecutor E01

"I have fished for hours
at a mossy riverside

but all I managed to catch was a minnow."

"I feel upset, but I'll laugh it off."

"Lest we forget that big fish
are hard to catch."

"Let's watch the moon
with the rod cast in the water."

"It's already nighttime,
and I can hear the cuckoo singing."

"I forgot where I was headed
because I was overexcited."

EOBUSASISA BY YOON SEON-DO

This is too good of a day
to be just watching our fishing rods.

We should watch the pebbles,
the water, and also the moon.

Sure.

They say eating is
the most important thing.

It's not much…

but why don't you have one?

What a great idea.

You can't fish here. Get back up here.

-This is a no-fishing zone.
-Get back up here. It's dangerous.

-Hurry back up. It's slippery here.
-Hurry.

-You can't fish here.
-Come on up.

-You two, over there.
-This way.

-Don't try to hide. Just come back up.
-Why don't you just come up?

Please, just come back up.
This is a no-fishing zone.

-Wait…
-You can't do that here.

Climb back up here.

-You, standing over there.
-There isn't a way back there.

Hurry back up.

This way. It's dangerous.

The Great General Yi Sun-sin
has a famous quote.

"Saengjeukpilsa, Sajeukpilsaeng."

"Those who are willing to live will die

while those
who are willing to die will live."

What if you get hurt?

-Hurry back up.
-Come up this way.

Stop hiding and just get back up here.

Come on.

You can't do that here.

It seems my will to die wasn't enough.

-This one is so lively.
-Have you seen one this big?

-This is huge.
-It's unbelievable.

-What rod were you using?
-Look how big it is.

It must be at least 50cm.

What is this smell?

Put that away.
What do you think you're doing?

-This isn't some marketplace.
-I'm sorry.

You guys must have
some nerve to fish there.

Why would you sneak into
a military facility to fish?

You've violated The Military Base Act.

-You must know that.
-Sure.

Right. Hand over your identification

and answer all the questions we ask you.

-Come sit over here. This way.
-This way, everyone.

Hurry up. We're busy.

Over here. Take a seat.

I think it's dead, isn't it?

-I don't know.
-It looks like it.

Look how big it is. My goodness.

It's alive.

I wonder if he managed to get away.

-What do you do?
-I run a hardware store.

Lucky him.

-Your occupation?
-I'm unemployed.

-I'm so jealous.
-What do you do?

I teach my son the piano.

And you call yourself a teacher?

Why did I have to do that?

Next.

WANTED FOR PHISHING SCAMS
JINYEONG POLICE STATION

Give us your identification.

-Sir.
-Yes.

Your identification.

What do you do?

-I'm an office worker.
-Right. An office worker.

What do you do?

I'm in sales.

What do you do?

I run a butcher's.

Sir.

Sir?

-What are you doing? Take it.
-Right.

Next.

Thank you.

The people who've already talked to us
can return home.

We'll summon you again,
so make sure to come back then.

-Sure.
-Thank you.

We'll do that.

Hello.

-Welcome, Inspector.
-You got here so fast.

Hello, sir.

Wait.

Aren't you…

I'm right, aren't I?

-Gosh, we got unlucky.
-I can't believe we got caught.

JINYEONG POLICE STATION

This way.

I've been here for about a month now.

Over here!

This way.

-Get in, sir. Come on.
-No, I shouldn't.

-We'll drop you off. Come on.
-I can't.

This way.

Get in, sir.

-You should watch your head.
-Right.

Treat him with respect.

You can just drop me off here.

I can't do that.

The inspector said
I was to drive you there safely.

MAIN AUDITORIUM

As for further questioning,

-you can come to do it anytime.
-What's all this?

-Sure.
-Take care, then.

Gosh, let's just go.

-This is unbelievable.
-Darn it.

-You might wonder what's going on.
-Leave that inside.

You might wonder what the big deal is,

but you don't even know half of it.

Next, we'll have a word
from the branch chief.

As for who we are,

we get into as much trouble

as the criminals themselves
when we get arrested.

Hello, people of
Jinyeong Prosecutors' Office.

It's a fine morning.

We are the prosecutors of
the Jinyeong Branch Prosecutors' Office.

This is Jinyeong,
the city of fishery and culture.

Have you visited Jinyeong before?

It's a harbor city off the southern coast

that is about 200 square kilometers
bigger than Seoul.

But there are fewer people living here

than there are people living
in Seoul's Dobong-gu.

DOBONG-GU 330,000
JINYEONG, 320,000

The money that was stolen in the case

was mostly from
the locals' retirement funds…

It's a small office
where there are only 12 prosecutors

including the branch chief.

But we have two unique pieces of history
that the other offices don't have.

We, as Jinyeong's prosecutors…

First, Jinyeong branch is
the only district branch office

that the Prosecutor General
always forgets to visit

during his regular visits
to the various district offices.

JINYEONG BRANCH OFFICE
WELCOMES THE 39TH PROSECUTOR GENERAL

JINYEONG BRANCH OFFICE
WELCOMES THE 40TH PROSECUTOR GENERAL

It happened three times in a row now.

And the second unique piece of history
of the Jinyeong Branch Office…

PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

I'll tell you what that is a little later.

Over my 18-year career as a prosecutor,

I've never been this humiliated.

Not only did a prosecutor
take part in illegal activity,

but he was also arrested
by the district's police in the act.

Wait. Let me introduce him to you.

He's Chief of Criminal Division 1,
Prosecutor Nam Byeong-jun.

He's dragged the prosecution service's
name through the mud.

How will we continue to uphold
law and order in Jinyeong city?

As conflicts arise
between the police and the prosecution,

this must not go unpunished.

Sir.

We cannot let this one slide.

We should call the disciplinary committee

and punish him gravely
to set an example for others.

I know that
what he's done is immature and shameful,

but he is sincerely regretting it.

Please find it in your heart to spare him.

It's too late for that now.

He should have behaved better
in the first place.

I'm sorry, sir.

I'm sorry, everyone.

Because of my shortcomings,

not only have I brought disgrace
to the chiefs, but to the entire office.

I am ashamed of myself
and terribly sorry for what I've done.

I have no excuse for what I've done.

However…

as a proud prosecutor of this country,

I would like to tell you one thing
that has been weighing on my conscience.

At yesterday's scene of the crime,

there was another--

-Prosecutor Lee.
-Yes?

At times,

one may steer off the righteous path

when one is blinded by greed.

I'll let you off the hook

since this is your first offense.

-Wait.
-No way.

But sir…

Sit back down.

-Thank you.
-Wait…

Thank you, sir.

-But, sir, this is--
-We'll speak no further on the matter.

Let's not bring it up ever again.

And that's the Branch Chief.

Because of his sheer will to avoid
being embarrassed by the police,

he swam valiantly across the sea
over a 2.8km distance against the wind.

I was certain he'd run out of steam
somewhere in the middle.

How could he have managed to swim 2.8km?

Could it have been possible
on willpower alone?

JINYEONG BRANCH CHIEF
HAEDAL KIM IN-JU

You're his senior.
Do you really have to be so tough on him?

Just keep your men in check.

I can't tell
if he's a prosecutor or a fisherman.

And as for the other one…

Never mind.

Let's go.

Hey.

Finish the sentence.

What about the other one?

Did I do anything to upset him?

Come on. Say it.

What is it?

Hey, come on.

This is Mr. Cho Min-ho,
Chief of Criminal Division 2.

He tries his best
to hang onto his youth inside and out.

And he makes us suffer
second-hand embarrassment.

Hello.

-Ms. Oh.
-Hello.

-Are you going to a trial?
-Yes.

-Gosh, sir.
-What is it?

Never mind. I'll see you later.

CRIMINAL DIVISION 2
DIVISION CHIEF CHO MIN-HO

REMARK: RECENTLY DIVORCED

Darn it!

This is Prosecutor Oh Yun-jin.

She's from the criminal division
that used to deal with gangsters,

but they say raising a child
is scarier than fighting gangsters.

-Hello, ma'am.
-Hello, ma'am.

PROSECUTOR

And she's also in charge of
all the public hearings.

What she needs right now…

We'll take a thirty-minute break.

CRIMINAL DIVISION 2,
PROSECUTOR OH YUN-JIN

REMARK: HOT-BLOODED WORKING MOM
BEYOND A CRIMINAL DIVISION PROSECUTOR

CUSTOMER SERVICE, REPAIRS

"Three, seven…"

Three times seven is twenty-one.

This is Prosecutor Hong Jong-hak.

He's a lucky man whose lottery ticket
he bought five years ago

came in second place,
winning him 20 million won.

Honey!

Number twenty-seven, number eighteen…

My gosh.

Since then, he became hooked

and spent around 30 million
on the lottery,

dreaming of winning it big.

"Seven, four, twenty…"

"Four…"

He still firmly believes
that he'd win first place one day.

CRIMINAL DIVISION 2
PROSECUTOR HONG JONG-HAK

REMARK: IN CHARGE OF
ACTS OF SPECULATION

This is Prosecutor Kim Jeong-u.

He only just became a prosecutor
and is currently under my tutelage.

PROSECUTOR KIM JEONG-U

What are you doing?

Sir.

Seriously?

To say a word as his predecessor
based on what I've seen so far…

#REFUELING CAFFEINE
#BEEN WORKING FOR 13 HOURS

…he still has a long way to go
to become a proper prosecutor.

CRIMINAL DIVISION 2
PROSECUTOR KIM JEONG-U

Yes, sir.

There are not only prosecutors
in the Prosecutors' Office.

The people who work very closely with us
are investigators and assistants.

The investigator we have at our office
is a veteran of 30 years.

Her name is Jang Man-ok.

PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
PROSECUTOR LEE SEON-UNG

Where is my husband?

I went to the police
because I couldn't reach him all night

and they sent me to the embassy.

And then the embassy told me
that he'd be here,

so I came all the way
to Jinyeong from Busan.

Doesn't anyone understand me here?

Who are you?

I see, you're Mingching's wife.

Yes!

We're done talking to your husband.

-Can you understand me?
-Yes!

Let's go.

I'll take you to him.

CRIMINAL DIVISION 2
INVESTIGATOR JANG MAN-OK

REMARK: VETERAN INVESTIGATOR

Did you bring food for your husband?

Yes.

When did she learn Chinese?

I wonder what it is that she can't do.

Then why don't we play
to pay for the meal?

You lose if you don't play.
Rock, papers, scissors!

That was a great meal.

-Bye.
-Thank you, sir.

How could you--

Hey.

Lastly, there's me.

-Sir!
-Why, hello!

What brings you by?

I've been a prosecutor for ten years now.

And I've been at Jinyeong now
for a year and a half.

I'm having the best time of my life here
since I became a prosecutor.

It's because Jinyeong is my hometown.

I've been with the criminal division
through and out

and have never been near
the national security or special divisions

where the elites go.

Frankly speaking, nine out of ten
prosecutors in the Prosecution

are all in the criminal division.

And what they do mostly is this.

Hello, is this Park Jeong-nam?

Yes, hello.

I'm Prosecutor Lee Seon-ung
who is in charge of your case.

Yes.

Come on, there's no need to be so formal.

Just call me Seon-ung.

Yes.

But the thing is,

we need to speak to you
here at the office.

I know it can be a nuisance,

but can't you just
visit the office even once?

Please, I beg you.

Yes, please. I really hope you could.

Yes.

-Do we really have to go that far?
-Yes, ma'am.

Half of what we do are summons.

All she has to do is show up.

Of course.

Gosh, thank you very much.

Thank you so much.

Yes, of course.

Yes.

Goodbye, then.

Sure. Thank you.

Yes.

CRIMINAL DIVISION 2
PROSECUTOR LEE SEON-UNG

REMARK: PROTAGONIST,
MASTER OF BEGGING

She adamantly refused when I called her.

I guess she's no match for your specialty.

Of course. There isn't anyone
who's a match for my begging.

But she's the victim,

why doesn't she want to visit us?

We'll know why once we meet the defendant.

We summoned the defendant today, right?

-Yes, at two o'clock.
-At two? All right.

Mr. Lee Sun-cheol.

You received two million won in cash
to hold a rite for Ms. Park Jeong-nam

on February 18th, right?

Yes, that's right.

I see.

But her son sued you

saying that you didn't hold the rite
after you took the money.

That is utter nonsense.

There seems to be a misunderstanding.

I swear I held the rite on the 21st.

Then was the victim Park Jeong-nam
or her son present at the rite?

No, they weren't.

I was alone.

But there's no way for the victim to know
whether you did the rite or not.

Why didn't you call over the victim?

My gosh…

Sir.

You see, Ms. Park Jeong-nam is
a regular customer of mine.

I was always the one to hold rites for her

whenever something bad happened to her.

And at times,
I held the rite without her present.

That's the kind of trust
the two of us had,

and now what?

I'm a conman?

How could she?

How could she call me that?

Please calm down.

Then is there anyone who could prove to us

that you actually held the rite?

Right.

Uncle Gi-bok must have seen me.

Right, Uncle Gi-bok.

What's his last name?

It's Jang. Jang Gi-bok.

"Jang Gi-bok."

What's his phone number?

I don't think there is one.

I'm sorry?

He died three years ago.

I see.

So, you see dead people.

Of course. I see them, hear them…

I can do all of that.

It's all thanks to the power
of the spirit I worship.

The spirit?

I see.

Then can you see my uncle who passed away?

He used to dote on me when he was alive.

Your uncle?

That's right.

How dare you lie
in the presence of the great spirit?

How dare you?

How dare you ask about your uncle
when you didn't even have one!

VIDEO INVESTIGATION ROOM

This way.

You can go home now.
We'll get back to you.

Goodbye.

Bye.

What's with him?

-Hey…
-Are you all right?

Why? What is it?

What's wrong?

My feet hurt.

-What?
-My gosh!

What's wrong with him?

I have to go see Mom,

but my feet hurt so I can't go!

Mommy!

-What's wrong?
-What should we do?

You can't do this here. Let me help you.

-This way.
-Mommy!

Another unique history
about Jinyeong Branch Prosecutors' Office

is office 309,
located in Criminal Division 2.

In the past 5 years, office 309 has seen
11 prosecutors come and go.

But the scary thing is

that office 309 was
the last office they occupied

before leaving the life of a prosecutor
behind them for good.

It was as if they were being chased away.

Ms. Jang was told off
while she was questioning him.

That shaman is the real deal.

It was as if he was
suddenly possessed earlier, right?

I hear our office building
was built over a burial ground.

-That's right.
-Really?

Didn't you know?

For areas with bad energy like a burial,
buildings with stronger energy

must be built over it,
like the Prosecutors' Office.

Then is our building haunted?

-Well…
-I'd say that's a possibility.

Are you saying it is or it isn't?

It sure is haunted.

There's the ghost girl in high heels.

What?

What do you mean?

Haven't you heard about this?

I think it was five years ago.

There was this case
where a girl went missing

while she was playing
wearing her mom's high heels.

They found the heels at the docks
on the fourth day she went missing,

-but they never ended up finding the girl.
-Oh, my.

The only evidence was the heels,

so they couldn't even find a suspect.

The case remains unsolved to this day.

But the thing is,

the prosecutor who was in charge
of that case was in office 309.

He apparently heard something every time
he stayed until late to work.

It started at the far end of the corridor

and slowly approached the office.

It was the clacking of a woman's heels.

My gosh, what's wrong with you?

What is it?

That shaman earlier…

He said, "My feet hurt."

That must be the girl in high heels.

-Exactly!
-Right.

-My gosh.
-Does that mean that she's dead?

That's probably why she came to
the prosecution as a ghost.

She must hold a deep grudge.

I guess office 309 is haunted.

It's scary, upsetting,
and sad at the same time.

Right.

Hey.

Do you know what's truly scary,
upsetting, and sad at the same time?

Office 309…

has been vacant for months now,

but none of you…

Go on.

…are worried
and are here telling ghost stories.

This is too salty.

SHAMANIC POSSESSION

IMAGES

Gosh, that's scary.

What are you doing?

You're home.

Gosh, we're running out of beer.

Why don't you get some then?

You always come here empty-handed
and drink them all.

People who have lost their families…

My goodness.

Hello, there.

Hello.

I'm Investigator Lee Jeong-hwan.

I'm Investigator Lee Jeong-hwan.
Nice to meet you.

Hello, I'm Investigator Lee Jeong-hwan.
Glad to meet you.

Hello, I'm Investigator Lee Jeong-hwan.

Nice to meet you.

This is Investigator Lee Jeong-hwan.

He's the investigator
who is assigned to office 309

whenever a new prosecutor comes there.

-Welcome.
-Yes, sir.

I came to hang out, hearing you come in.

Great job.

Why don't you wear some pants?

-What if someone sees?
-What?

We're the only people on the second floor.

I know, right?

Since we're here, let's say cheers.

-Cheers!
-Cheers.

To battle air pollution, the president

has ordered the Ministry of Environment
to come up with a plan to reduce…

SIN AND PUNISHMENT

With this, he'll never become
a government minister.

I'll put my trust in you, Prosecutor Kim.

Yes, sir.

Another drama about prosecutors?

When you hear the word "prosecutor,"
two types of them will come to your mind.

One is a prosecutor who has succumbed
to the temptations of power.

According to the prosecution,

the prosecutor who was
in charge of the case…

-Looks like it will begin soon.
-And the other is

the hero of justice
who battles great evil.

I'm Prosecutor Cha Myeong-ju
of Special Division 1.

I'm in charge of
the Chukbok Nanum Foundation Case.

I'm here on behalf of
Deputy Chief Woo Min-jae.

She's briefing the case instead?

-The Chukbok Nanum Foundation…
-What about the deputy and the chief?

-How should I know?
-It is a case of insurance fraud

with estimated damages
amounting to 200 billion won.

They have exaggerated
the costs of treatment

-and issued a fraudulent receipt…
-Total of 200 billion?

How much damage was involved
in that case with the shaman?

It's two…

-What?
-million won.

Victims were coerced to do physiotherapy…

But most prosecutors are like us.

Welcome back.

-Welcome, sir.
-Hey.

Hello.

Why don't you come to join us?

Please allow me to rest at home.

Gosh, that prick…

You haven't figured out his passcode yet?

I'm in the process.

Why don't we watch something funny
and laugh it off?

Let's make Prosecutor Kim
curious enough to join us.

Okay, Men On A Mission.

Dajeonghoi!

When should we laugh?

Hello?

Professor Jeong told me to call you.
This is Kim Jeong-u.

Nice to meet you.

Ye-rim, you have a wonderful voice.

You're free this weekend, right?

Yes, Saturday.

There's not much to being a prosecutor.

My gosh, that hurts!

Hold on.

A little lower!

We spend most of our days
in our 10-pyeong office

and talk to numerous witnesses,
defendants, and victims.

But that's what you told the police!

Why are you retracting your statement?
Is this a joke?

We battle against countless documents

that would pile over my height
if left unchecked.

Of course, there are others
who wish to take their battles elsewhere.

As you already know,

it seems that Criminal Division 2
has had a lot more unsolved cases

than Criminal Division 1
in the previous month.

It just keeps getting worse.

Why hold onto those cases
that are over three months old?

Did the case grow on you during that time?

You don't want to let go?

That's not all.

We also fall behind in cases

where we do our own investigations
and autopsies.

And also,

we even have fewer people than they do!

Are we always in second place
because we're Criminal Division 2?

Let me be the chief of the division
where we come first for once.

Come on.

Answer me.

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

Well, enough about that for now.

Let's get to the crux of the meeting.

Yes?

I…

would like to recommend pasta.

That Italian place at the crossroads?

Italian pasta!

-Next?
-Auntie's Korean Meals.

"Auntie's Korean Meals."

My vote goes to Auntie's.

We're going to vote on them later.

Don't be such an amateur.

PASTA

Anything else?

-Yes?
-Granny's Eel Soup.

Eel soup?

Right.

We should have made a reservation.

My gosh.

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry?

Of course.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

-What is it?
-We're getting a new prosecutor.

Really?

At last. I'm so glad to hear that.
Congratulations, sir.

They'll probably leave
within a week again.

-Congratulations.
-Congratulations.

Right. Thanks.

-Dig in.
-Sure.

My feet hurt.

He apparently heard something every time
he stayed until late to work.

It started at the far end of the corridor

and slowly approached the office.

It was the clacking of a woman's heels.

Could that be why they kept quitting?

What? What about this?

THE HEYDAYS OF THE PROSECUTORS

Right, I forgot about her.

That's Assistant Sung Mi-ran.

Prosecutor Lee is in this photo?

Really?

Isn't that you, sir?

My gosh, how did you even recognize him?

I am clueless as to
what she's thinking most of the time.

CRIMINAL DIVISION 2 ASSISTANT SUNG MI-RAN
REMARK: SAYS TWO WORDS A DAY

Criminal Division 2,
Jinyeong Branch Office.

I'm sorry?

My goodness.

She wasn't seriously injured, was she?

What is it? What's going on?

-What were you doing?
-Is Ms. Park Jeong-nam here?

Hello, ma'am. I'm Prosecutor Lee Seon-ung.

Gosh.

I told you I didn't want to go.

I was on my way to see you

because you kept begging me
to come visit you.

Look where that got me.

-See what happened?
-My goodness. I'm sorry.

How did this happen?

She tripped trying to avoid a car
that suddenly came out of nowhere.

My gosh, you must have been startled.

What did I tell you?

I told you that things would start
going wrong for us

if we ended up
upsetting Sun-cheol, didn't I?

That's utter nonsense.

What about me then?
I talk crap about shamans every day.

My goodness.
You don't know what you're doing.

I'm right, you know.

You trust that shaman way too much.

Never mind. You be quiet now.

You should go, Prosecutor Lee.

-I'm sorry?
-You see,

I have no intention
of suing him or anything like that,

so don't ever come to see me
or call me ever again.

But ma'am, you know what?

Even if you were to drop the charges,

this case will go on regardless
of your intention.

We still have to investigate to see
if a crime has been committed or not.

What is he saying?

So what I'm saying is

that we cannot make all of this go away.

PARK JEONG-NAM
FEMALE, AGE 65

Look what happened. What are we to do now?

You sort this out yourself.

I'm not going anywhere
near the prosecution.

Apparently, the shaman told her

that a nasty spirit
is haunting your office

and not to visit you
since she might fall in danger.

-I see.
-Please go away now.

-I need some rest.
-Yes, ma'am.

I wish you a speedy recovery.
I'll be in touch.

What? Don't do that!

I'm not going anywhere near

-the Prosecutors' Office.
-Of course, ma'am.

I'm sorry. I'll still be in touch.

-My gosh. Why won't you listen?
-Bye.

Come on.

-Sir.
-Yes, hello.

But why does your mother
trust Mr. Lee Sun-cheol so much?

It's because his predictions came true
a couple of times.

I see.

I think it was three years ago.

A thief came to rob our house,
and he predicted that.

There was a fire at our farm last year,

and he also managed to predict that too.

I see. That's quite amazing.

He's not that great.

It's just that my mother goes to
get her fortune told so many times

that he gets a few of them right.

I see.

But did you catch the thief?

No. A thief did come to our house.

But he didn't steal anything,
so we didn't even report it.

I see.

How did that fire start?

Well, I guess someone threw
a cigarette butt out there.

And you said your mother fell
while getting out of the way of a car?

That's right.

I see.

Hey, you're back early.

I am.

Was she seriously injured?

She's saying she won't come
anywhere near the prosecutors' office.

She's scared and says that it happened
because of spirits.

Well, Prosecutor Lee…

Do you believe in spirits?

You would know already,

but you hear all sorts of things
when you work as a prosecutor.

Stories about begrudged spirits
appearing in a prosecutor's dream

and telling them
where their body is buried.

There are so many ghost stories
that are told in all the offices

that I'm starting to believe in spirits.

But the funny thing is…

that certain spirits can be caught.

Could you collect the CCTV footage

from the day Ms. Park Jeong-nam
had her accident?

Sure.

Let's do some spirit hunting.

That's not true.

You keep telling me that.
You keep saying I talk back.

The woman kept asking me
to do something for her,

but I kept refusing.
Still, she kept begging me.

That's why I had no choice.

I…

There's a scary woman at your workplace.

She's wearing pointed heels,

and she likes being alone.

That's why she keeps chasing away

anyone who comes to her room
by making them suffer.

Then what should I do?

Take this talisman and secretly place it
somewhere in the room.

All I have to do is
place it somewhere in secret?

-The talisman…
-But…

after you place the talisman,

you must not look back

no matter what you may hear.

You must not

look back.

You must not look back.

You must not

look back!

-Mom!
-You must not

look back!

Hurry up.

We should go greet our new prosecutor.

Prosecutor Lee! Prosecutor Kim!

Where did they all go
on this important day?

I just got here. Where are you?

Yes, platform number 11.

The Cheonil Express Bus? That's right.

Hello, there. Nice meeting you.

Please, this way.

Hello.

-It took a while to come here, right?
-Thank you for coming.

-This way.
-Yes.

-I am a bit tired.
-Was the traffic bad?

It was okay.

Yes, hello?

I'm here, sir.

Platform number 11.

-Hello, sir.
-Welcome.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-I'm Prosecutor Park Ji-un.
-I'm Cho Min-ho,

and this is Investigator Lee Jeong-hwan.

-Welcome, sir.
-Nice to meet you.

-Let's get going.
-Yes, sir.

The weather today sure is great.

-Are you married?
-Yes, sir.

-You have children?
-Yes.

-I thought you were still single.
-No, sir.

-Where does your family live?
-In Seoul.

In Seoul?

That must be where the dockyard is.

-Yes, that's the dockyard.
-Is it?

It's really famous.
It always feels new to me.

How about a photo?

-Here we go.
-Let's go.

Yes, of course.

Ready? One, two, three!

-Gosh, I'm having so much fun.
-Same here.

The view here is great.

-We'll visit again.
-Yes, sir.

You see that?

This is amazing!

Look at these fish.

What's this one?

Come see this.

-It's a red sea bream!
-You're right.

How much is this?

I really wanted to visit this place.
Thank you for bringing me here.

It's nothing.

-Isn't this painting so nice?
-It is.

This is the most popular
fusion restaurant in Jinyeong.

-Isn't the view nice?
-Yes, the view here is stunning.

-Take a seat.
-Right.

You must be busy.
Thank you for coming so far.

It's nothing. I thought of it as
taking a little trip.

-Come in.
-Yes.

This is the most popular
raw fish place in Jinyeong.

It's where people come to these days.
Take your jacket off.

Of course.

-You like raw fish?
-I do.

-The fish here melt in your mouth.
-They're amazing.

They are indeed.

Can you take our orders please?

-Bring it in.
-Yes, sir.

Thank you for coming.

-Thank you.
-Cheers.

-Try some lobster.
-Right, I should.

Sir, may I use the restroom?

-Right. Go ahead.
-I'll be right back.

My stomach…

-He must have an irritable stomach.
-Over here.

And place this talisman
in the clothes of the new employee.

It's a talisman that will make them
stay in Jinyeong and not run away.

Wait. What are you doing right now?

I was just checking to see
what brand this jacket was.

My gosh, this is a nice jacket.

It feels so smooth.

-You're so stylish.
-Thank you.

-You look great.
-Thank you.

Stop it.

The professor…

I mean, your uncle really liked me
since I was in law school.

I see.

Did he tell you about me?

I don't quite remember.

Well, you see…

I was a promising student back then.

All the professors kept telling me

that it's people like me
who should become prosecutors.

Right.

That reminds me.
My uncle told me this funny story.

What is it?

My uncle said that he never was assigned

anywhere south of Daejeon
when he was a prosecutor.

He said that the district
a prosecutor is assigned to

is a reflection of their skills.

Where you're assigned to
when you're new is based on your grades

and those in the top five are
assigned to the central office in Seoul.

And the ones below that are assigned
to the rest of Seoul.

And the rest…

He said that people
who are farthest from Seoul

probably had the lowest grades.

Gosh, only if I hadn't made mistakes
on the answer sheet.

-Jeong-u.
-Yes?

You're cute, you know that?

-I guess you weren't just a bookworm.
-Right.

-Cheers.
-Right. Cheers.

I had a great meal, sir.

I'm glad you liked the food here.

You'll have meals every day
at places like this.

Am I wrong?

You're right, sir.

How about I show you around the office

-and go for another round of drinks?
-Well, no.

I'll join you later
after I take a look around the place.

Why don't you join us
instead of hanging out by yourself?

Sir, I think you're pushing it.

Really? Well, suit yourself.

You go take a look around.

-Yes.
-We'll be at the office.

-You go ahead, then.
-Yes, sir.

Bye.

Wait!

My gosh, sir.

Welcome to Jinyeong.

-I'll see you later then.
-Okay.

-I'll get going then.
-Sure.

-Take care.
-Yes, sir.

The hand is faster than the eye.

Right.

What do you think?
Don't you have a great feeling about him?

Well, yes.

I think office 309
has finally found its owner.

I think I did great back there.

-You were so quick.
-I was amazing.

Darn it.

-Excuse me. I need to sit down.
-Sure.

Thank you.

Hello.

First of all,
it was nice meeting you today.

You even treated me to a nice meal
for having traveled so far.

I had fun.

-This is great.
-It was great to see the ocean

and to get some fresh air.

But I am sorry to have to be
sending you this text.

I've thought about it a lot,

but I don't think
this is the place for me.

I'm sure you'll meet
someone better than me.

Thank you for giving me great memories.

Take care.

Gosh, that prick…

I took him sightseeing
and fed him good food.

This just won't do.

-What's wrong with him?
-I know, right?

Welcome back.

My gosh, look at you.

You're going to burn
a hole through your phone.

What is it?

I'M SURE YOU'LL MEET
SOMEONE BETTER THAN ME

TAKE CARE

How could she tell you to take care?
She hardly knows you.

If she's that worried about you,

she should come and look after you.

I know, right?

And look at this.

Why did she even send you this emoticon?

It's as if she's making fun of you.

You think so too?

It finally feels like we're clicking, Bro.

What did you just say?

"Bro"?

Say that again.

How dare you, you prick…

It hurts. I tap out.

-It's not over yet.
-It hurts.

-I feel like I'm going to throw up.
-Where are your manners?

-I'm going to throw up!
-Get a grip.

What? He quit already?

He's only been
in Jinyeong for a few hours.

You've set yourself a new record.

Are you sure you didn't
do anything to upset him?

I didn't.

I guess we weren't meant to be.

Then will this make him
the twelfth prosecutor who left?

Don't be too upset.

Let's look at things in the long run.

Yes.

I'm sure office 309
will find an owner soon.

Or…

we could end up being
the new occupants of office 309.

I've had this idea for some time now.

How about we just demolish that space…

and build a meditation room?

I'm sorry?

We'll place some yoga mats on one side

and make some space where we can hold
tea ceremonies on the other side.

We'll put on some relaxing music as well.

We'll turn it into a place
where the staff of the Jinyeong Branch

can visit anytime to relax.

Office 309, you mean?

Do you really mean it?

Wouldn't that be better
than keeping it empty?

I couldn't agree with you more.

It is a waste to leave that office vacant.

But we might have
a new prosecutor who might…

-Mr. Cho.
-Yes, sir.

I'll even get you a cycling machine

on one side of the meditation room.

Think of it as my gift to you
and enjoy it.

Well, aren't you lucky?

I'm so jealous.

Thank you for coming on such short notice.

It's fine.

I was told by the spirit that
the prosecution would want to see me soon.

So I was ready for you to call me.

I see.

Then did the spirit also tell you
why it is that we called you?

Of course.

I have an idea why.

The victim wanted to drop the charges.

It was just as the spirit foretold.

Would you like some coffee?

Yes, please.

Ms. Park Jeong-nam was injured.

Did you go see her?

Of course.

I even set a date to hold a rite for her
so that she'd get better soon.

I guess it's partly because of that spirit
that she got injured.

You should take greater care of her.

Yes, you're right.

But that spirit of yours…

I guess it knows how to drive.

Ms. Park Jeong-nam was injured
while trying to avoid oncoming traffic,

so I looked at the dashcam footage
from the cars that were parked nearby.

My goodness.

Do you know who owned the car
that almost ran her over?

It was Mr. Lee Min-cheol, your cousin.

And who do you think

Mr. Lee Min-cheol called
right after the incident?

Sun-cheol. It's done.

Right. You did well. Thanks.

It was…

you, Mr. Lee Sun-cheol.

Yes, thank you.

I'm sure they still had valuables
in the house.

-They did.
-Yes?

But they didn't steal anything.

So we're looking at this case

with the possibility
that you could have been behind

all the mysterious cases
that occurred in the neighborhood.

It will take some time
to go over all the minor cases,

but above all else,

you've put someone's life at risk
with reckless driving.

I believe this can even be considered
attempted manslaughter.

They say people are
even scarier than spirits.

And it seems to be the case with you.

You're calling the spirit's wrath
upon yourself!

How about you stop that
and call a lawyer instead?

Drink your coffee.

The investigation will take a long time.

Yes.

-Let's go to the investigation room.
-Sure.

Bring your coffee.

-Wait.
-Come with us.

-There must be a misunderstanding.
-This way.

I don't know if you've noticed,

but actually, the Jinyeong Branch isn't

a place where all prosecutors
dream of coming to.

The fact that the Prosecutor General
forgot to visit us three times in a row,

and how twelve prosecutors
have already run away from us.

None of that is really surprising.

But still, we show up to work every day

and get on with our jobs day after day.

Because this is where we work
and even Jinyeong needs prosecutors.

I'm so tired.

What's that?

But you know what?

What could she be doing here

when she has nothing to do with Jinyeong?

PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE

Cha Myeong-ju?

Why would a hotshot like her
come to a place like this?

This is Prosecutor Cha Myeong-ju
who will start working here today.

-Nice to meet you.
-I'm Lee Seon-ung.

Nice to meet you.

You and Prosecutor Cha are alumni, right?

Were you close
to Prosecutor Cha in law school?

You went to the same school,
so make sure you take care of her.

-How can I help you?
-I wish I didn't remember her.

I will take on half the cases
that are assigned to Criminal Division 2

and the cases that have remained unsolved
for over two months.

They got started already.

I can't tell if she's brave
or if she's just rude.

I'm here regarding
the unpaid wages at Jeongsu Industry.

Don't worry too much, Prosecutor Lee.
The case is mine now.

You can't just get them
to settle in that case.

I don't think
you're in a place to advise me.

But I entered law school before you.

That doesn't matter in the prosecution.

It matters to me!

Not to me, though.

Did something bad happen to her?

Do you want to know why
Prosecutor Cha came to Jinyeong

instead of resigning?

Do you know why?

Hello?

SUMMONS

FIVE YEARS AGO

I keep hearing footsteps
from down the corridor at night.

It's the sound of a woman's heels.

When I look outside, no one's there.

I think it's all
because of this case I'm working on now.

What's the case about?

A child who was playing
in high heels went missing.

I think she may be visiting
my office as a spirit.

What number is your office?

Office 309.

You must not

look back.

You must not look back.

You must not look back!
