EMERGENCY RESCUE

In life, we often come to face risks.

When we come to those urgent moments when our life flashes before us,

we think to ourselves,

"What could have caused this to happen?"

Is it because of him?

Or her?

If not,

could it be my fault?

This could be one of the things we ask ourselves.

Could this have happened

because of the competition between me and Prosecutor Cha?

It's our job to move on from cases that can't be won.

We can't be sure he will lose. It's up to the prosecutor.

It's up to the prosecutor to decide if the case is a lost cause.

Not admitting--

What is this?

How could you raise your voices with others around?

-What if the defendant… -After we bickered loudly

a few days ago,

Prosecutor Cha and I were in a ceasefire of sorts.

-What? -What was that?

PROSECUTOR LEE'S WAR AND PEACE

Then should I take him to my office now?

-What? -But it was Prosecutor Cha

who broke the ceasefire with a sneak attack.

I'd like Prosecutor Kim Jeong-u to work in my office.

-All of a sudden? -He'd have a new guiding prosecutor,

and I would have a competent junior who could aid me.

It's a win-win situation, isn't it?

I don't know. He was just learning the ropes.

Wouldn't he be confused if he went to a new office right now, Mr. Cho?

I'll make sure he doesn't get confused.

Fine.

Let her teach him then.

She has a lot of cases and must need help.

-Mr. Cho! -Thank you, sir.

Happy?

-Hey, Seon-ung. -What?

Come with me.

-What's wrong with you? -Come on.

Can't you be nicer to Cha Myeong-ju?

Is this my fault?

You saw what she did. You talk to her then.

I know, but she's always been like that.

She's been always conceited and that's what got her here.

I don't know about anyone else,

but you could just let her have her way.

And she's your junior from school.

Says who? She thinks she's the senior.

Then help her out since she's your senior.

What's gotten into you all of a sudden?

My gosh.

It's just that it bothers me

when I see you two fighting like cats and dogs.

I've been so much on edge that I'm taking my bowel medicine again.

You're taking them again?

Whatever. It's not like I can do anything about it.

I'm off.

My gosh.

Hey, Seon-ung!

You should talk to Prosecutor Lee before you pack your things.

I'm sure he already knows.

What are you doing? I thought it was next week.

Well, Prosecutor Cha

asked me to come today if I didn't have anything else to do.

And Mr. Cho said it was okay too.

What do you mean? We've got so much to do here.

Darn it.

Just go.

Get lost.

What are you looking at? Get out of here. It's not like you cared.

I'll manage, so just go.

Thank you.

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy!

-Take a seat over here. -Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy!

It seems your truck had too much freight on a service road.

Why didn't your husband come?

It's because he couldn't take time off work.

Come on, stop crying.

My gosh, I'm sorry.

I couldn't find anyone to look after her.

Prosecutor Kim. Why aren't you coming?

I was just about to go.

You were in charge of this case, Prosecutor Kim.

Yes.

Don't cry.

You should've been more careful.

Come on. Don't cry.

You fined him two million won.

Yes.

It wasn't his first offense.

-Mommy! -Mr. Prosecutor,

couldn't you lower the fine a little?

That fine of two million won is my husband's monthly salary.

If we pay that fine, we won't have any money to spend for the month.

-Sir, please. -There, there.

Have mercy on our family.

My goodness.

Please stop crying, baby.

Hold on.

My gosh.

Come, now. Hush.

Good girl.

Stop crying.

Good girl.

She seems to be crying a lot.

Yes. It's because she didn't get any sleep.

She doesn't look anything like you.

I'm sorry?

What's her name?

-How old is she? -Prosecutor Cha.

Can we talk for a moment?

Just a moment, ma'am.

Okay.

That child probably isn't hers.

-What do you mean? -You know,

people borrow other family's kids to win sympathy points.

What proof do you have?

Didn't you see that child crying?

What kind of a mother calls their child "baby"?

They'd just call them by name.

Let's say that you're right.

But she must've done it out of desperation.

We could just let her off this once.

It seems she's in a difficult predicament.

And how are you so sure of that? All you have is her word.

I know I'm crossing the line here,

but I couldn't just ignore the situation.

Mommy!

Mommy!

Come now. Don't cry.

Mommy!

-Goodbye. -Thank you.

-My gosh. -She seems to have calmed down.

-Get home safely. -Okay.

Hello.

-Thank you. -Goodbye.

-Goodbye. -Bye.

Thank you.

Hello.

Thank you so much.

I got through it smoothly thanks to you.

And this…

It's not much, but please take this.

I can't take this but thank you.

No, please accept it.

-It's just a few apples. -My gosh.

If we accept something like this we'll get into trouble.

Why don't we just share it now?

Sure.

Take the computer and the office phone out of the room, please.

Okay.

-They'll go to office 309. -Okay.

-Hurry it up, please. -Okay.

He wanted them since he had to start work today.

Hello, sir.

PROSECUTOR LEE SEON-UNG

Meeting with Branch Chief at 4 p.m.

Prepare unsolved cases. Everyone is to attend.

Criminal Division 2 seems to have

fewer unsolved cases than last month.

Yes, with Prosecutor Cha's arrival,

things got a lot better.

Prosecutor Cha, are you sure you're not working too hard?

No, sir. I'm enjoying myself.

And wasn't there an issue with Jinyeong public officials

with stock manipulation or tax evasion?

Yes, there was.

Do you have any data on that?

-I'll get them ready soon and-- -I have them here.

You prepared them already.

If it's war she wants, I have no intention of avoiding it.

But it was me once again who asked for a ceasefire.

How about we go to Hansangcharim for dinner?

It will be on me.

That traditional restaurant?

Sure, we should all go.

Why don't you come too, Prosecutor Cha?

Hey, Prosecutor Kim. You should come too.

Prosecutor Lee is buying dinner.

Come.

-It'll be delicious. -I hope it's not full.

Something came up.

You go ahead and eat.

Prosecutor Kim?

-Would you like to come with me? -What?

Let's just go.

"Something came up."

"You go ahead and eat."

Seriously?

It's not like we're free.

I have a lot to do because of the meeting too.

Come on. Don't be like that too, Prosecutor Oh.

What about me? I've always been like this.

You know,

in my entire life,

this is the second time I was declined after asking someone out for a meal.

I said no. Why would you buy me a meal?

Something came up.

You go ahead and eat.

Prosecutor Lee.

It's become clear.

This is war.

My gosh. What's happened?

-What is it? -What happened?

-What happened? -What's going on?

-What happened? -What is it?

-What is it? -What happened?

-What? -Is that the old lady from before?

What happened to her?

-What? -What's wrong with her?

What's wrong?

Just what happened?

Prosecutor Hong!

The reason this happened to Prosecutor Hong in this chaos…

There's a tear-jerking story behind what happened to him.

What's wrong with him?

My gosh, Prosecutor Hong!

THE STORY BEHIND PROSECUTOR HONG

You wanted to see me, sir?

THE MORNING OF THE INCIDENT

-Take a seat. -Yes, sir.

Who's the most senior prosecutor here?

-It's me. -Who?

I'm the most senior here.

You say that so proudly.

As the most senior prosecutor,

how could you sit back and watch your juniors squabble like that?

They raise their voices at each other in the middle of the day.

Seniority aside,

don't you think they need to be more respectful?

As the most senior prosecutor,

you should take better care of your juniors

and let me know if you sense there might be a problem.

If not, people will say

that your experience in the prosecution was in vain.

Do you think I have to be the one to clean up after their mess?

No, sir.

I'm not saying this just to make my job easier.

You know how much I care about you.

Look at the house

That stands on the cliff in Bugaksan

-Look at the light we keep lit -Look at the light we keep lit

-On the hills of Anam -On the hills of Anam

-It is the pride of the people -It is the pride of the people

-And a tower we built together -And a tower we built together

-There lies the forum -There lies the forum

Of freedom, justice, and truth

STOMACH CRAMPS LEVEL 1

Prosecutor Kim took on a case himself today.

He really works like a prosecutor now.

He wasn't afraid of anything since he was new.

He wrapped things up so nicely alone.

I guess you've finally gotten around.

It looks like Prosecutor Lee did a wonderful job teaching him.

Come on, I didn't do anything.

You should be thanking him at a time like this.

Show him some gratitude.

How about I teach you some social cues?

Then should I take him to my office now?

What?

I'd like Prosecutor Kim Jeong-u to work in my office.

-All of a sudden? -He'd have a new guiding prosecutor,

and I would have a competent junior who could aid me.

It's a win-win situation, isn't it?

I don't know. He was just learning the ropes.

Wouldn't he be confused if he went to a new office right now, Mr. Cho?

I'll make sure he doesn't get confused.

STOMACH CRAMPS LEVEL 2

My kid is still wearing a cast and can't even hold a pencil.

What if his grades fall behind?

What are you even saying?

How is that my child's fault?

The two of them were just hanging out, and your child fell on their own.

A kid like that should be sent to prison, not a juvenile detention center.

Please gravely punish them so they are taught a lesson.

What did you say? Is that how you want it?

Stop!

Please stop fighting.

Kids can fight while they grow up.

Did you hear him?

But you should still not inconvenience others.

My point exactly!

I don't care about your stupid fight.

But why do you have to harm people around you?

What am I supposed to do?

-I'm sorry? -I'm sorry?

STOMACH CRAMPS LEVEL 3

Come to the lobby.

Sir, are you going out?

Yes, to the main office.

Branch Chief will hold a meeting with all the prosecutors at 4 p.m.,

so get all the unsolved cases ready and notify everyone about the meeting.

-Okay? -Yes, sir.

-Jong-hak. -Yes?

Did you see them fight over Kim Jeong-u earlier?

Yes.

How could you let them do that in front of me?

Do better, okay?

Yes, sir.

If something happens while I'm gone, who'll be held responsible?

Me, sir?

Of course, it's my fault since I'm the most senior.

STOMACH CRAMP LEVEL 4

Meeting with Branch Chief at 4 p.m.

Prepare unsolved cases. Everyone is to attend.

-Okay. -Okay.

Cha Myeong-ju, Lee Seon-ung.

Are you not even going to answer me?

They must think I'm their friend or something.

Do they think I'm a pushover?

Do they seriously think I'm a pushover?

Really? Do I look that easy?

Hey, Seon-ung!

You punk!

Cha Myeong-ju and you're making things uncomfortable

in Criminal Division 2.

If I were a few years younger, I would have given you two an earful.

You know that?

What are you doing? Weren't you scolding someone?

No, I wasn't.

I came to go to the meeting with you.

-Right. -Let's go.

Right, let's go.

You prepared them already.

How about we go to Hansangcharim for dinner?

It will be on me.

Why don't you come too, Prosecutor Cha?

-I hope it's not full. -I'm sure it's not.

Something came up.

You go ahead and eat.

Prosecutor Kim?

-Would you like to come with me? -What?

Let's just go.

-What? -Let's go.

Seon-ung…

It's become clear.

This is war.

STOMACH CRAMPS LEVEL 5

-What's happened? -What is it?

What happened?

-What happened? -What's going on?

-What is it? -What are we going to do?

If something happens while I'm gone, who'll be held responsible?

What happened?

Damn it.

What happened over there?

STOMACH CRAMPS

My gosh. What happened?

This is the story of Prosecutor Hong.

But it was Prosecutor Kim who went through

the wildest emotional ride of their life.

PROSECUTOR KIM'S ONE LUCKY DAY

Then I'll see you at seven later tonight.

There are days when you feel confident that everything will go your way.

Today was such a day for Prosecutor Kim.

THE MORNING OF THE INCIDENT

Who is it?

I'll be seeing her at seven. She's a flight attendant.

Isn't this photo all edited?

Apparently, that's how she really looks.

-Prosecutor Kim. -Yes?

Don't you have a questioning soon?

Are you all set?

Yes, sir.

My gosh.

What is it? What's so funny over there? Let me see.

Gosh.

Let's take a look.

PROSECUTOR LEE SEON-UNG

What?

ASSISTANT SUNG MI-RAN

With you?

-She's pretty, right? -But why?

She's pretty, right?

See?

I told you to wait.

You keep saying that, but how long?

Why you…

Please calm down.

So Ms. Kim Ju-yeon is in real estate

and Ms. Jang Eun-ju is a tenant.

Ms. Kim asked Ms. Jang to move out

and that you'd give her back her deposit once she does.

The police already acquitted me,

so what does the prosecution want from me?

I had to miss my meeting with a client to be here today.

Even if the police acquitted you,

we still have to see to double-check.

So Ms. Jang moved her stuff out trusting what Ms. Kim said, right?

Yes.

She said she'd wire me the money as soon as I moved my stuff out.

I mean, it's not like we're strangers.

I trusted her.

Then Ms. Kim held out without paying her deposit until now.

What do you mean I "held out"? I don't like what you're saying.

Let me correct that.

You are refusing to pay her.

I tried to pay her,

but my kid got into a fight at school, so I had to pay settlement money.

It's not like I didn't pay her on purpose.

PROSECUTOR KIM JEONG-U

So you had no intention of not paying her

but you needed to spend that money urgently somewhere else.

That's right.

Since I had no intention of conning her you can't charge me for fraud.

Eun-ju. Are you going to be satisfied when you see me in jail?

I need to work to give you your money, right?

Who's going to pay you if I'm in jail?

Sell your house.

My family's been living in an inn for 15 days now because of you.

Ms. Kim.

You should give Ms. Jang her money and settle.

I don't have it.

It's not like I don't want to pay her.

I'm asking her to give me some time, so why are you picking on me?

I can't pay her because I don't have it.

-Is it a sin to be poor? -Ms. Kim Ju-yeon!

Of course, it's a sin.

You knew as a real estate agent that Ms. Jang would have no choice

the moment she moved out of the house as a tenant.

You exploited your acquaintance with her and defrauded her of her money.

If you don't settle soon, I'm going to indict this case.

I'm not afraid of anything because I'm new.

-Do you get it? -Thank you.

#I'VE ACED THE QUESTIONING #SERIOUS PROSECUTOR

STERN, SOLEMN, SERIOUS

I'd like Prosecutor Kim Jeong-u to work in my office.

-All of a sudden? -He'd have a new guiding prosecutor

and I would have a competent junior who could aid me.

A competent junior…

"A competent junior"?

Prosecutor Kim. Why aren't you coming?

SEPTEMBER MONTHLY EVENT SCHEDULE

5 P.M. WITNESS KIM

What are you looking at? Do you have any questions?

You even have a witness summon in the evening.

Of course. Why do you ask?

It's just that

it's different from Prosecutor Lee.

Of course, it is.

I see.

SEPTEMBER MONTHLY EVENT SCHEDULE

MEETING WITH BRANCH CHIEF AT 4 P.M.

PREPARE UNSOLVED CASES EVERYONE IS TO ATTEND

Prosecutor Kim. Did you see the text from Prosecutor Hong?

I did.

Mr. Lee, please have the unsolved cases organized.

There will be a meeting with Branch Chief at 4 p.m.

Yes, ma'am.

But what do you think the meeting is about?

A chief prosecutor at the central office was caught

taking part in stock manipulation.

I think it will be a meeting to discipline the entire office.

Get all stock manipulation and tax evasion cases

involving Jinyeong's public officials. We may need them.

Yes, ma'am.

The meeting might take a while.

How about you skip the meeting and question the witness at five?

Me?

I haven't even read the records yet.

You're smart, so I'm sure you'll read through them in no time.

-You're smart… -I'm smart?

-Please. -Yes, ma'am.

Prosecutor Kim is thinking.

His date is at seven.

The time it takes for him

to get to his date from work is about 45 minutes.

ESTIMATED TRAVEL TIME 45 MINUTES

Come in.

-Hello. -Welcome.

Yes, thank you.

Could you get it for me?

If you have the data, could you send it to me?

-Bye. -Goodbye.

5 P.M. WITNESS KIM

RESERVED

If only he could leave work on time after finishing

the witness questioning in under an hour…

he'd be able to meet her.

No one would have been able to stop him

only if Branch Chief's meeting kept going.

Yes?

Goodness. I'm sorry, sir.

I got here earlier than expected.

It's fine. Take a seat.

-Okay. -Thank you.

I think that would be all I need.

Thank you.

-Yes, goodbye. -Thank you.

Goodbye.

-You don't have to see me out. -It's fine.

-I'll call you if I need something. -Call me anytime.

-Thank you. -Goodbye.

5 P.M. WITNESS KIM

Dearly respected Prosecutor Cha.

I'm sorry to leave you such a note on my first day with you,

but I have an important appointment

so I need to get going first.

I've finished the witness questioning you asked me to do.

Ms. Sung. What do you think of my tie?

It looks okay, right?

I'll get going then.

I'll see you again tomorrow with a bright smile.

Prosecutor, sir.

Prosecutor, please…

So, this is what happened.

For this old lady, who was widowed long ago,

her son was the only thing she lived for.

But because of his temper,

her son had been a troublemaker all his life

and made her life difficult.

But he met a good woman, came to his senses,

and got himself a job at a factory

to make a living for himself and his wife.

And eventually, her son even sent the old lady on a trip overseas

to make up for all the trouble he caused.

The old lady shed tears of joy since she got to travel abroad

for the first time in her life thanks to her son.

It's a beautiful story up to here.

You see, I'm a naive person.

There was a friend of mine

who wanted to take out a loan to start a business.

Because I felt bad for them, I let them take out a loan under my name.

That became a problem,

so I came to see a prosecutor a few times too.

But I became a wanted person before I knew it.

My goodness.

Here.

I need to get on the plane soon. What am I to do?

They say you can't even go abroad when you're wanted.

If I can't go abroad this time,

what would my son

and my daughter-in-law think of me?

What should I do?

My goodness.

Prosecutor Kim thinks again.

It is really necessary for him to arrest

-this pitiful old lady? -Prosecutor, please…

My gosh.

If she misses out on her first trip abroad because of him,

could he be able to live with the guilt for the rest of his life?

-What will you do? -And what if

her short-tempered son came looking for revenge?

Wouldn't that be scary?

She wouldn't dare run away since she came to see him on her own.

And at the very end of his thoughts

was his date that night.

Listen, ma'am.

I'm sure there's been a misunderstanding.

We'll take you off the wanted list

so go on that trip of yours.

But we'll have you scheduled to visit us the moment you get back,

so make sure to come to see us then.

Thank you so much.

My gosh. Thank you.

Don't mention it.

It's fine.

Don't worry.

I think I might be ten minutes late. I'm sorry.

Goodbye.

It's fine. I'll wait.

JI-HYE

Hey, Prosecutor Kim. You should come too.

Prosecutor Lee is buying dinner.

Come.

Who is she?

She's wanted…

She's traveling abroad.

-I'm sure it's not? -Something came up.

You go ahead and eat.

Prosecutor Kim?

Would you like to come with me?

What?

-Excuse us. -Let's just go.

I have to go overseas tomorrow morning.

-You see, my son-- -We'll talk in my office.

Right.

I think I should start telling you her story about now.

JUNG BOK-RYE'S TRANSFORMATION

Are you familiar with cone shells?

They can't look any more average,

but cone shells carry a dangerous poison

that is much stronger than

that of any scorpion or snake called conotoxin.

Just like this old lady.

-Welcome, ma'am. -Welcome, ma'am.

What happened to that thing in Cheongju?

We're almost done.

It will all be wrapped up once you add the finishing touches.

-Charge it for me. -Yes, ma'am.

-Would you like one? -No.

Yours is too strong.

All right.

Listen.

Do it right unless you want to go back to the way you were.

-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.

She was actually a con artist who specialized in promissory notes

and frequently dealt with cons amounting to tens of billions.

If she put her mind to it,

she could probably take out

any small to medium-sized corporations like it was nothing.

Her main target was small distributors

that dealt with promissory notes over a long period of time diligently,

despite on a small scale.

Thank you. This way.

She'd hire someone to purchase that company

and continue running the company through promissory notes

to build trust with the clients.

Just as everyone begins to fully trust the company

is when she reveals her fangs.

That's when they make a large order.

It's usually aluminum bars or laptops that can be sold off easily.

They tell their partners of a large order that came in from a big firm

and provide their partners with a fake business card

that can be easily made anywhere.

If their partners seem to be suspecting them,

they ask them to deliver the goods to the warehouse

belonging to that company.

And this is

where everyone falls for their lies.

Come on in.

And these goods totaling tens of billions

disappear along with Ms. Jung Bok-rye.

Let's go.

The date of expiration.

The partners who provided them with the goods

only then realize that they have been conned.

But it's too late by then.

There is no way for them to find this old lady

who cons on a national scale.

There's nothing that prosecutors can do

except suspend the prosecution

and make her a wanted person.

Cases where the prosecution has been suspended because of a missing defendant

all end up in the warehouse.

DEFENDANT: JUNG BOK-RYE

And when she needs her identity confirmed for another con

or needs to travel abroad…

Next week,

I'm supposed to meet Zengui in Hanoi.

So get ready.

Yes, ma'am.

But what about your wanted status?

I have a way.

2 HOURS BEFORE THE INCIDENT

It was Friday evening,

the time when prosecutors long to get off work on time.

I'll get going then.

And in the prosecutor's office was

the newly appointed prosecutor who has a date later that evening.

We'll take you off the wanted list.

Thank you so much.

And just like that, her plan seemed to succeed.

Hey, Prosecutor Kim. You should come too.

She just had to bump into Prosecutor Cha

and head back to the office.

I have to go overseas tomorrow morning.

-You see, my son-- -We'll talk in my office.

Right.

PROSECUTOR CHA'S BLESSING IN DISGUISE

DEARLY RESPECTED PROSECUTOR CHA…

Take a seat.

This is going to take some time.

Mr. Lee. Order some food for the old lady.

Order some for us as well.

Okay. What would you like, ma'am?

I'm fine.

I don't feel like eating.

My goodness.

It's going to take years to read through everything.

My plane's going to leave me behind.

How old are you?

I'm 36.

Really?

I lost my husband and became a widow

when I was just 36 years old.

Are you married?

Ms. Jung Bok-rye.

I'm going to need to concentrate.

Gosh.

Sure thing.

PROSECUTION CASE DATABASE

NAME: JUNG BOK-RYE

Mr. Lee.

-Yes? -A minute, please.

SEOUL NORTHERN DISTRICT PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE

DAEGU DISTRICT PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE, BUSAN DISTRICT PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE…

Reach out to them and get everything we need.

Yes, ma'am.

Hello, I'm calling from Jinyeong Branch Office.

Yes, I'd like to urgently request a copy of a case file.

Prosecutor Cha tried her best to hide her smile.

The suspension of prosecution given by offices across the country

could only mean that this helpless old lady

was a nationally wanted con artist.

Prosecutor Cha felt her heart race.

This was it.

This was her breakthrough case in the middle of nowhere

they call Jinyeong.

This was it.

The case that was hidden between the piles of unsolved cases!

I'm Prosecutor Cha Myeong-ju of Jinyeong's Criminal Division 2

who was in charge of

-Promissory Note Fraud Case. -A case of this magnitude

would allow the prosecutor in charge to make the briefing themself.

She could even be made prosecutor of the year because of this.

And if she were lucky…

You didn't forget anything, did you?

-Bye. -Ms. Cha!

-Prosecutor Cha. -Goodbye.

-Call me. -Ms. Cha!

She's so cool.

PROSECUTION SERVICE

Please listen to me.

I feel sick, and I'm breaking out in a sweat.

-Could I go to the hospital-- -Sit down, Ms. Jung Bok-rye.

Gosh.

I have a heart condition.

I was late to the emergency room last time

and was almost paralyzed.

It's a doctor's diagnosis.

DIAGNOSIS NAME: JUNG BOK-RYE

It's from two years ago.

I've been sick for some time now.

You must carry it with you in case of emergencies.

It's quite worn out.

Could I get a glass of water?

Go get it yourself.

Goodness.

My gosh.

Please.

Call an ambulance.

Ms. Jung Bok-rye.

Your act won't work on me.

Take a seat over here.

Ms. Jung Bok-rye.

Get her up.

My gosh.

Ma'am. You can't do this here.

Come on.

Ma'am.

What?

Ma'am?

What's wrong, ma'am?

Ma'am.

Prosecutor Cha!

Ma'am.

Call an ambulance.

It's 911, right?

This is the Jinyeong Branch Office.

-Ma'am? -We have a patient.

-We need an ambulance. -Ma'am?

What should I do? Ma'am?

-Get out of the way! -Please move!

EMERGENCY RESCUE

But this is the way to the office.

What?

Ma'am.

-Are you all right? -Be careful.

What's going on?

-Hurry. -Be careful.

-What is it? -What?

Is that the old lady from before?

-What do we do? -What is it?

-Step back. -What's wrong?

-What do we do? -What happened?

-What's wrong? -What is it?

-What happened? -What's wrong with her?

-What is it? -Please be careful.

What's wrong with you? Jong-hak.

-Is he all right? -Damn it.

Hold on. What's going on?

EMERGENCY RESCUE

Prosecutor Cha knows very well.

Ms. Jung Bok-rye passed away at 11:14 p.m.,

September 27th, 2019.

May her soul rest in peace.

INVESTIGATION CAUSES DEFENDANT'S DEATH

She knows what would happen to her, despite having imagined

her return to Seoul with this breakthrough case of hers.

-Please give us a comment. -Answer us, please.

Just a word.

Now it's

all over.

EMERGENCY RESCUE

-Stop! -Let me go off on a tangent here.

Just as everyone has a differently shaped nose,

people have different affinities for different smells.

Everyone likes the smell of flowers,

but some people also like the smell of ammonia.

As for me,

I just love the smell of detergent.

This is nice.

This is an emergency. Please get off.

Ma'am.

I know it must be hard. Why don't you get up?

You can't do this. Get off…

Ma'am.

When do you want me to add the fabric softener?

It's not good for you if you keep swallowing it.

Don't you have any water? She needs to cleanse her mouth.

Sure.

Ma'am.

Get up, please.

Gosh.

Damn it.

I almost made it.

Who the hell are you?

I'm Prosecutor Lee Seon-ung of the Jinyeong Branch Office.

This is a must-have item for wanted persons

that Ms. Jung Bok-rye invented herself.

A pill made of concentrated detergent

that creates foam when coming in contact with water.

It's kind of like eyedrops but on another level.

-Watch out. -My gosh.

Look at that.

Gosh.

Let go. I can walk fine on my own.

My goodness.

-Let go. -So, the national con artist

Jung Bok-rye ended up in a penitentiary.

Let's give a round of applause for Prosecutor Cha who worked hard.

And Prosecutor Cha had her name on the first page of Jinyeong Times.

-I'm in a hurry. Could you speed up? -Okay.

Take care.

JI-HYE

We should not forget

that a few prosecutors sacrificed a lot

in the process.

NATIONAL CON ARTIST ARRESTED IN JINYEONG

ARRESTED BY PROSECUTOR CHA OF JINYEONG'S CRIMINAL DIVISION 2

I knew I could count on you, Prosecutor Cha.

You're the best!

You did well too, Prosecutor Lee.

You say that if you hold two aces,

you never lose in a game of poker.

But it should have been your photo in the papers.

I'm sorry.

Then what am I?

A spade?

Prosecutor Oh?

You're a queen. The queen of hearts.

Then what about me?

A joker.

You're a joker.

My gosh.

-I'll see you later. -Sure.

-Goodbye. -Right.

-What are you doing? -What?

It's nothing. I'll see you later.

You must be working late today too.

Yes.

Isn't it hard?

You have three times the amount of work.

I'm still holding up.

Why don't we split it up?

We're in the same division.

I feel sorry that I'm here drinking beer while you're still working.

Take your time with the beer. I'm still working, you see.

Wait, Prosecutor Cha.

What I said to you last time was a little harsh.

I didn't mean it.

Please don't take it to heart.

I'm sure you're not surrendering.

This isn't fun.

I thought you wanted a war?

Did I say that?

Not exactly, but you sure acted that way.

What's this?

This? It's nothing.

You wanted to send me a message of sorts that day with that brass ruler.

As if you were saying "I have something you don't."

"You know what this is, right?"

I'm sorry?

Don't tell me you took it out just to use it as a bottle opener.

Don't be like that.

Right.

-Well, that-- -It was a little childish,

but it made me curious.

Does Prosecutor Lee Seon-ung deserve to have that?

And is he someone who has the right to use it just as a bottle opener?

I guess I'll find out soon.

That's right.

The detergent.

Thank you.

Wasn't this why you stopped to talk to me?

Sorry?

AWARD OF EXCELLENCE

NATIONAL CON ARTIST ARRESTED IN JINYEONG

Hello, sir.

-You're here. Sit down. -Hello, sir.

-Have you been well? -Of course.

-You look great too. -Thank you.

-Long time no see. -Sure.

-I came empty-handed. -It's fine. Sit.

Bring me some tea.

Is that…

Sir, isn't that a brass ruler?

DEPUTY CHIEF PROSECUTOR PARK JEONG-GON

-So you know what it is. -A brass ruler?

You must not know since you went to a different school.

Didn't you study using Professor Park Dae-cheon's textbook?

"Park Dae-cheon"?

Yes, I did.

Professor Park Dae-cheon gives that brass ruler

only to his valued students.

It's rare for even a single student to receive one per year, right?

That's right.

After the Prosecutor General received one,

no students received one for years.

I see.

I hope you will soon be Prosecutor General too.

Gosh, you.

There was a prosecutor who had that in my division.

Who?

-Cha Myeong-ju? -No.

-What's this? -This? It's nothing.

How did Lee Seon-ung get the brass ruler?

BRASS RULER

BRASS RULER

-Kim, a male in his fifties -Damn it!

was arrested by the police last night

after assaulting Jeongsu Industry's CEO Park Jae-sik.

Only had you done things right…

Do you think I did a sloppy job?

You two came in this early to get the case?

Get out. I said get out!

Only one prosecutor will have to be put in charge.

It will be Prosecutor Cho Min-ho.

You two do the fieldwork.

Then Prosecutor Cha and I will be on equal grounds, right?

-We'll each do our own investigation. -Is anyone in there?

-Then what about the questioning? -We'll each take the video room

-and the observation room. -Let's do that.

We can always press the red button when going off the track.

These are Mr. Kim Yeong-chun's call records.

The last call he made on the day…

PROSECUTOR CHA MYEONG-JU

-What? -You're in charge of my case?

Get me another prosecutor.

Whose fault do you think it is?

-Get me another prosecutor. -What?

EPILOGUE

Hello.

-Here's your double-shot espresso. -Thank you.

Would you like a membership card?

It's fine.

I won't be here long.

Goodbye.

You've filled out the stamps.

What would you like?

What's the most expensive beverage here?

Expensive?

It's green tea mint chocolate chip ice blended.

I'll have that.

-Yes, sure. -But you know what?

That woman who just left and I work at the same job.

I see.

Would it be okay if I had her stamps instead?

I'm going to be here for a long time.

Well, that's…

Please?

-My goodness. -Come on.
