Original subtitles

The world we live in is like a jungle.

Just as vulnerable baby animals are preyed on in the jungle,

the moment you take your first step into society…

I came here for the audition.

…anyone can become the target of fraud.

Come this way.

Even if you know you should be wary of flashy bait…

REAL ESTATE AUCTIONS

…the moment you fail to fight off its temptations

you fall victim to a con.

AUCTION HEAVEN REAL ESTATE

Welcome.

-Hi. -Have a seat.

I'm looking for somewhere I can build a place of worship for God.

I heard you could buy it for cheap through an auction.

There's another thing that frauds are after.

It's the desperation of people who have been cornered in life.

Those who are looking for anything that could help them turn their life around.

Ma'am. Give me more eels and not these side dishes.

That way, you'll live long and prosper

so that our business relationship can last a long time.

You're right.

I hear that you'll buy that new building in front of the market after the bidding.

I hear it costs around 7.5 billion won.

Come on, 7.5 billion isn't that much.

What?

My goodness.

Thank you for the meal, ma'am.

-Thank you. -No worries.

Here.

Goodness.

-That will be 69,000 won. -Right.

-Please sign here. -All right.

Here.

-Here you go. -Thank you.

Did you enjoy your meal?

I did.

Goodbye then.

Wait.

This is for us intruding so late at night.

-There you are. -I was wondering where you went.

That's right.

They lied to us that

we'd make four million a month when we can barely cover our expenses.

How much revenue do you need to have in order to make four million a month?

We'd at least have to make 1.2 million every day.

Ms. Seo Hye-suk? Did you really make that much while you owned the store?

I did.

The shop was doing fine. It was he who ran it to the ground.

Now he's accusing me of conning him.

How much do you make a day?

Barely 700,000 won.

A bakery that used to make 1.2 million per day

is now making 700,000 won in just three months? Isn't that strange?

What do you mean?

Didn't you see big companies going bankrupt overnight?

Ma'am, I'm sure she cooked the books.

I looked around the bakeries in the vicinity

and none of them make 1.2 million.

She must've fabricated her sales

so she can get more money from me.

Please, look into this for me.

-What are you saying? -What?

Am I wrong?

How can you accuse me like that?

You must know the truth about this.

-Then are you calling me a fraud? -Of course.

Pastor.

Do you still not get it?

Then tell me which part you don't understand.

I'll explain it to you again.

When I first met Professor An and Director Yoon,

Director Yu proved that he was with the National Intelligence Service.

With what?

Something like that.

Why would an NIS agent wander around with this on,

telling everyone he's with the NIS?

How are they an intelligence service then?

They conned you over 400 million won for seven years,

but you still don't get it?

You're lucky we stumbled on this case

while we were investigating some other case.

What would you have done if this hadn't happened?

What do you mean?

Everything was going as planned, but you ruined it.

They would never con me.

I know these people better than you do.

My gosh.

Goodness.

They said I'd be able to model for them

if I got a nose job.

And the loan?

They said some models ran away after receiving surgery,

so they made me get a loan and give it to them as collateral.

Weren't you worried?

They told me that's just how it was done.

PROSECUTOR OH YUN-JIN

Putting aside your loan of six million two years ago,

you also took out four million last year.

I had to pay overdue interest.

And what kind of jobs did you have?

At first, it was just photoshoots.

And then,

since it didn't make much money…

They made her prostitute herself for over two years.

Later, they sent her abroad for international prostitution.

My gosh, those rotten bastards.

She's only 23.

Isn't it a bit too severe

to call it a life lesson?

You think being older would make you impervious to cons?

Have you heard about the secret presidential fund?

Back in the '60s and the '70s.

The total amount is said to be in the hundreds of billions.

-But what about it? -I've been talking to a pastor

who wanted to borrow that money to build himself a church

and was conned 400 million won by the Blue House and the NIS.

-What? -Really?

The Blue House and the NIS?

-And he believed that? -I mean,

how do you end up falling for such ridiculous stories?

Don't you dare laugh.

It's the frauds who are in the wrong.

He's just been a pastor all his life, so he's not at fault here.

That's not true at all.

He wanted to cut corners to build a church as cheaply as possible.

Isn't that right?

I tried to talk to him for an hour

but he still doesn't get why he's been conned.

I have a public hearing so I need to go.

For which case?

Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it.

What's wrong with him?

COUNSEL

Are you okay?

-Ms. Jung Bok-rye. -Ma'am.

When do you want me to add the fabric softener?

Who the hell are you?

The defendant has submitted a diagnosis

regarding Ms. Jung Bok-rye's health.

Yes.

The symptoms of the defendant's angina have worsened

and she requires surgery.

And as she is in her seventies,

she won't be able to defend herself adequately

while in detention.

Therefore, we request bail.

-Bail? -Seriously?

I want the prosecution to take note of the defendant's condition

and decide if the defendant can be allowed to be released by the next hearing.

-Yes, Your Honor. -That will be it for today.

Please stand.

-What's going to happen? -I can't believe this.

-Is she acting? -Is she really sick?

There's no way that's true.

How brazen of her.

-I can't believe her. -My gosh.

There's no way I believe her.

Fine, so stop already.

Is that where you send troublemakers?

How could you make Lee Seon-ung attend public hearings?

-Are we a joke to you? -I'm sorry.

I'll buy you a round of drinks.

-When's good for you? -Never mind.

Lee Seon-ung is under Chief Cho Min-ho, right?

Is he still there after going against you?

I know, right? He seems just fine.

My gosh. Is he stupid or just slow-witted?

We should meet for some drinks soon.

I'm sorry and thanks.

Sure. Bye.

Bye.

BRANCH CHIEF CHOI JONG-HOON

It's a request for an arrest warrant on a suspect wanted

for robbery and special battery.

Thank you.

BRANCH CHIEF'S OFFICE

My Lord.

Don't call me that anymore.

Then…

Mi-ran.

I want to serve you online only.

I'll fulfill my duties as a servant.

But I sent them over. Didn't you get them?

I'm sorry. I'll check and get back to you.

Sure.

Ms. Sung.

You know that date they wanted to be checked at the public hearing office?

Didn't you hand that into the court yet?

Well, I…

How could you forget?

That's due tomorrow.

I'm so sorry. I'll hand it in right away.

Being sorry won't cut it, you…

What's wrong with Ms. Sung?

Hasn't she been strange today?

The phone.

Investigator Lee Jeong-hwan speaking.

Help…

Please, help me.

JI-AN'S UNCLE DONGGU HAMMER

Hey, are you all right?

Help me.

Who did this to you?

Camulus…

His eyes…

He was like a demon.

JI-AN'S UNCLE

-You're dead if you come across Camulus. -I'm keeping a low profile.

What's wrong with him? I'm so afraid.

I bet 300 gold that he was either dumped or fired from his job.

-Hello. -Hello.

Hello.

DIVISION CHIEF CHO MIN-HO

Yes?

Chin up.

I haven't seen you smile since the new branch chief arrived.

Why are you here?

Are you here to rub it in my face?

Is that something to say to your friend?

Take a seat over there. I've got great news for you.

What is it?

You know who the father-in-law of the branch chief is, right?

It's District Chief Kang Seong-ho.

Listen.

He resigned years ago.

Who cares about someone like that?

I'd say my father-in-law has more power than him.

You mean your ex-father-in-law.

That's why you're always far behind everything.

The current Prosecutor General and former District Chief Kang

were in university and legal training together.

They even used to be roommates in the dorms.

Really?

Mr. Kang's mother practically nurtured the Prosecutor General

while they were studying for the bar exam.

He still visits her to this day during holidays to thank her.

And that's why people who were close acquaintances of Mr. Kang

are still high up in the prosecution.

Hey.

Then why did he send his son-in-law to a place like this?

Jung In-ho.

They say that District Chief Jung In-ho will move up to the High Prosecution.

Mr. Kang wants his son-in-law to follow suit.

So he's not someone you can go up against.

Just bow your head

and grovel before him and lick his boots.

If you keep taking the side of your subordinates,

you won't be able to stay here.

What?

"Grovel before him and lick his boots?"

Why? You can't do that?

That's the best you can do for your subordinates.

Hey, Brownnoser Nam.

You go grovel before him and lick his boots.

I'm not some dog.

-You damn prick. -Hey.

Get lost if you're going to say that.

-Get out, you prick. -What?

-Damn it. -Fine.

-I'm only trying to help. -Gosh.

Think about it, you punk.

What's there to think about?

Mind your own business, you bastard.

There's just no talking to you.

You can't even look after yourself.

Whose idea was the secret presidential fund?

It was Director Yoon's idea.

-Who? -The NIS deputy director.

He doesn't actually work for the NIS. He's only pretending.

Anyhow.

Why were you at the real estate office that day?

The office wasn't even under your name.

A friend I know runs it.

He wanted me to man the office for a little while.

Then you went to fill in for him

and conned Pastor Kim when he came in?

That real estate office is actually yours, isn't it?

It's under a borrowed name, right?

Sir.

Why would I run an office under someone else's name?

I've also been conned many times in my life.

Nobody seemed to care then,

but now you accuse me of conning someone?

If I have sinned,

I am guilty of believing in someone like Director Yoon and doing as he said.

Mr. Seol In-su, you know Ms. Bae Su-min, right?

Oh, Cindy?

What?

Bae Su-min. Her name is Cindy.

C-I-N-D-Y.

Let's just call her Bae Su-min.

Sure, you do that.

March 2017.

Did you have her sign a contract with a nose job as bait?

Hold on, ma'am.

A bait? That's not right.

She came from a poor family, dreaming of becoming a star.

Her parents couldn't help, and she lacks the looks.

What she wanted was a little too distant from her reality.

Well, she probably wanted

a way to turn her life around easily.

There are many people like her.

I only offered her an alternative that was a little more realistic.

You can't call that bait.

What kind of consulting do you provide franchises with?

About promotion or their menu.

And how to cook the books?

No. Who does that these days?

How much did Ms. Seo's bakery make per day?

Around 900,000 won?

She told us it was 1.2 million.

Right, 1.2 million.

That's right. It was 1.2 million.

Get your story straight.

You'll be charged with false testimony.

You consulted Mr. Park when Ms. Seo sold her bakery, didn't you?

Yes.

So you taught Ms. Seo how to cook her books

and told Mr. Park that the bakery does well so he should buy it?

That's not what happened.

The bakery was even in a lousy location.

There were too many bakeries nearby

and the floating population was low.

Didn't Mr. Park question you about that?

You tend to miss things like that.

There are times

when you start to believe you can do what others have failed.

And that's what they call a dream.

And we call it a delusion, which we tell them.

Professionals like us can tell right away.

Then why did you have her get surgery and make her take out a loan?

I didn't make her do anything.

She agreed that she'd get surgery

and I needed a failsafe.

That's why I went as far as to

suggest that she take out a loan and she jumped at the chance to do so.

You didn't talk her into it, but she volunteered to do it?

Yes. All I did was help. She was the one who made all those decisions.

Look at the paperwork. My name isn't anywhere to be found.

People only want to look at the good things.

Things can definitely go wrong, they turn a blind eye to it.

And you've used that fact to your benefit.

I told him what could go wrong. They refused to listen.

And if they did bad,

you got them to cook the books and sell the shop?

Wasn't that your game?

That's not it.

Ms. Seo Hye-suk already told us

that you taught her how to cook the books.

Gosh.

Yeong-hui.

I'll head in now,

so clean the grills and go home.

Yes, ma'am. Goodbye.

Bye.

Are you closed?

Yes, we're closed today.

My gosh.

Ma'am.

I'm sorry, but could I get a meal?

I still haven't eaten.

Sure, I'll prepare a meal for you.

-Ma'am. -Right.

Try some of this too.

My gosh, thank you.

But how come you're alone today?

Oh, that.

It just happened that way.

Wait.

Why don't you join me for a drink today?

Me?

Would that be okay?

Of course.

Take it.

Thank you.

What's your name?

My name?

It's Kang Yeong-hui.

Where is your family from?

-From Jinju. -My goodness.

-I'm also from Jinju. -Really?

I'm Kang Hyeon-suk.

Is that right?

Since we're from the same family, can I address you casually?

Of course.

You remind me of my mother,

so you go ahead and do that.

Let me pour you a drink.

It's tough, isn't it?

Not at all.

The worst moments in life are

when you seem to be giving it your all but you still can't find a way out of it.

CHO MIN-HO

There are quite a few franchise fraud cases.

It's harder to manipulate cash registers, so the numbers went down,

but they still cook the books slowly over a long period of time.

Well, Prosecutor Cha.

Yes?

Since this is a simple case,

how about you report this to the Branch Chief yourself?

I'll do that.

BRANCH CHIEF CHOI JONG-HUN

Isn't Chief Cho going to come to report now?

No, sir.

It was a simple case so I just came myself.

Really?

The higher-ups care a lot about small businesses too.

You can't brush it off as simple.

Is it just this bakery that we have?

Why don't we look into some other shops as well?

Division 2 has fewer self-investigated cases.

Another case came in yesterday regarding a coffee franchise.

I'll look into it quickly.

Sure.

I wish everyone was as capable as you are.

Here.

Prosecutor Kim Jeong-u is in your office, right?

How is he?

Working hard.

He doesn't seem to know right from wrong.

Teach him well.

Yes, sir.

You should have done something.

-Didn't I-- -I'm sorry!

What is it now?

-What is it? -I don't know.

I didn't even say anything.

What do we do with her? She's driving me nuts.

My gosh.

Here's the doctor's referral.

Thank you.

PROSECUTOR LEE SEON-UNG

-Did you talk to the doctor? -Yes.

It's the same.

"It's difficult to say that she can't be

detained in her current condition."

"However, she does suffer from angina,

so we can't be certain she doesn't require bail.

I read it out to you, but I have no idea what it means.

We have the preliminary arrest warrant

for Mr. Han, the bakery franchise broker.

Notify both him and the victim about it.

Okay. We received a call from Mr. Park just now.

He must have been very curious.

So, I told him that the defendant will be arrested,

and he asked me to thank you,

saying that you did a great job.

I still don't get it.

If they file a criminal lawsuit for fraud,

the best-case scenario making the fraud serve jail time

and the money the victim lost will have to be retrieved with a civil lawsuit.

But that's not easy.

How can they be so happy then?

Wouldn't they want their money back?

The criminal lawsuit affects the result of the civil lawsuits.

They'll have to reach a settlement if they want to avoid jail.

Maybe it's because Koreans love people getting their comeuppance.

Don't you think?

They may be happy,

but isn't getting their money back really the ultimate solution?

Prosecutor Kim.

Did you look at the file regarding the coffee franchise?

Yes.

You take care of that case.

Me?

Schedule an interrogation and help out Prosecutor Kim.

Sure.

Okay.

So they said they'd give you a building worth 100 billion won

if you brought them a statement with ten billion won saved?

Yes.

And they'd use that building as collateral to get a loan from the bank

and replace the money used in the presidential fund.

Then what about the principal and the interest on the loan?

I'll receive rent money for the building and pay it back.

So you tried to get your hands on a 100-billion-won building

with just 400 million won?

Why did you do that, Pastor?

Am I not allowed to do that because I'm a pastor?

What would God say?

You shouldn't have been so greedy.

It wasn't greed. It was a rightful investment.

They paid me all the interest at first

saying that things are being delayed.

They started missing payments later due to financial difficulties.

That's their M.O.!

They make it look like it's working

and give you your returns until you start to believe them.

The transaction has been completed.

Thank you for using Namhae Bank.

REQUESTED AMOUNT: 6,000,000 WON

Yeong-hui.

I'm now too old and have made enough money.

There's this business I'm running now.

-Would you like to join me? -What?

You know Hanseo Department Store, right?

Yes, I do.

The chairman of Hanseo is my sponsor.

And behind him are people

who are even higher up that I can't even mention the names of.

You know Hanseo Department Store's gift vouchers?

What we do is we take them

and sell them in the black market for cash.

We take five percent of the earnings.

Only five percent?

You may think it's small,

but we get a total of around 20 billion won

every time we sell them.

Really?

If it's 5% of that, it's 1 billion won.

And you're going to let me be a part of that business?

Of course.

But there's an entrance fee.

You'll have to make a little investment too.

How much?

It's a minimum of ten million won.

I need ten million won?

Hey, Yeong-hui.

We're over here.

Welcome. Take a seat.

Ma'am. Why do you keep bringing on more people?

Mr. Park.

Didn't I help you out when you were in trouble?

I'll make sure nothing goes wrong, so don't worry about it.

That's right. You should just sit still.

She'll make sure nothing goes wrong.

Yeong-hui, was it?

-Nice to meet you. -Hello.

Yeong-hui.

-You're ready, right? -Yes.

I didn't have enough money. I'm sorry.

I only have six million won.

It's fine.

I can come up with the rest.

I know how hard you worked to make this.

Things will go just fine.

-I'll call you. -Okay.

I should get going. The bidding's about to start.

-My gosh. -Good luck, ma'am.

-Call us. -Yes, I'll do that.

-Goodbye. -Goodbye.

Goodbye.

MANGO-FLAVORED DOVE: CAMULUS HAS APPEARED AT CHRISTINE'S PUB!

DARKZEN, DRAGON SNOT

CAMULUS

WHAT IF SAMDOL

My Lord, please watch out!

WANGBAMNIM, MANGO-FLAVORED DOVE

I'm sorry, My Lord. I did not recognize you.

Please, spare us.

Do you want

-this Armor of Misos? -What?

No, sir.

Please don't. I'm sorry.

You can have it.

Is it true that Camulus is going to quit the game soon?

What?

The Ring of the Supreme Ruler is on sale.

What? Is the player dying or something?

What's this?

Let's see…

Ms. Sung. We ran out of letter-sized paper.

You should have gotten some earlier.

And we're out of coffee too.

Order some coffee when you buy the papers.

And the snacks and paper cups too.

Aren't you being too harsh?

-What? -Couldn't any one of us

make that order with just a phone call?

What?

I'm sorry.

How often are you eating those snacks?

How did we run out that fast?

Am I not allowed to?

We had so much coffee too. Ms. Cha didn't drink any.

-So you drank them all. -Why are you doing this to me?

What's going on?

-What's up with everyone? -How could you?

What's wrong?

Do you have no appetite?

No, it's not that.

You should go meet him again. It's not like you have anything to lose.

I hear the new branch chief

loves single-malt whiskey.

I know it's hard for you,

but we're also on thin ice every time we visit him for approval.

You two need to get along for us to relax too.

It's like when we can't relax from our parents fighting.

Parents, my foot

Since you're the bigger man,

why don't you offer him a conciliatory gesture?

Just eat.

Sure.

BRANCH CHIEF CHOI JONG-HUN

Yes, District Chief.

Yes, I know.

No.

I can be there right away.

Yes.

Yes, okay.

Goodbye, sir.

I knew it.

He's trying to make up with me since it's been bugging him.

What is it? What did he say?

-He's at a raw fish restaurant. -My gosh.

He wants to have a drink.

-That's great. -That's good news.

Gosh, I was going to get some work done after my meal here.

Go ahead, sir. We'll clean up your plate.

-Will you? -Sure.

Gosh, what a bother.

-Goodbye. -See you.

Goodness, but I need to work.

You can do it, sir!

Let's finish up,

I feel like I can finally breathe.

Gosh, finally.

-Welcome. -Hello.

Funny, right?

They'd always go to that lousy place, Wet Fog.

-My gosh. -That's just how he is.

-Sir. -Yes, come in.

I must've arrived late.

No, you got here early.

I told you to come by eight.

What's gotten into you?

You're always late by six or seven minutes.

Since you're here today, sir, he came five minutes early.

-Have a drink. -Yes, sir.

-Sit down. -Sit.

Yes, sir.

Let me pour you one, sir.

Could we have another glass, please?

-Are you going to be drinking? -Pardon?

If you drink too, who's going to drive us?

Hey, Chief Nam's glass is empty.

-What are you waiting for? -I'm sorry?

His glass is empty.

Sir…

Good.

Gosh, you spilled it all.

Thanks, buddy.

-Have a drink. -Yes, sir.

-Cheers. -Cheers!

The air is so fresh.

Here you go, sir.

-Listen. -Yes, sir.

Let's have blowfish soup to fight this hangover.

I love blowfish, sir. I'll make the reservation.

Sure.

You didn't drink, so you don't need to eat, right?

That's right.

Good.

Did you see that?

Should we go to Wet Fog?

-Seon-ung. -Yes, sir.

Please don't tell anyone.

Those bastards.

If I had been any less of a man

I would have already punched the teeth out of their mouths.

You did well holding yourself back.

I wouldn't have held back.

I would have fought them.

-You think so? -Of course.

Shouldn't they know better?

How can they be so nasty and immature?

And one of them is supposed to be my friend.

You know what they say.

It's your close friends that you should be wary of.

That excludes us, of course.

I need to get my revenge on them soon.

You must know this.

When things don't seem to be going your way…

And it was because someone had planned to interfere with you.

CAMULUS

My Lord.

But I'm nothing!

How can something I've said

shake up the legendary Great Lord to this extent?

I retrieved it for you.

My Lord.

You are the most beautiful when you're in this armor.

I need some courage.

After all, I'm a stableman,

and you are my lord.

CAMULUS

What?

What's this?

I think there's a wall here, My Lord.

My Lord.

My Lord!

Why isn't it working?

My Lord--

What's this?

Why isn't it working?

My gosh.

Why is the game designed like that?

Darn it.

Come in.

What is it?

This is for you, sir.

It seems you had a lot to drink last night.

I don't need it. Give it to Chief Nam instead.

Anything else?

Yes, well…

Sir.

I'd like to apologize--

Yes?

Yes.

We'll do that then.

I got it.

Yes, thank you.

Mr. Yoon Seong-jo played the deputy director of the NIS,

and Mr. Kim Yeong-ho?

I'm sorry?

I was the Senior Secretary to the president in the Blue House.

And Mr. An Jeong-su?

I only helped connect them.

They called you Professor An. Are you really a professor?

Since I was the only university graduate,

they called me "professor."

And just like that,

you impersonated to be staff in the NIS and the Blue House.

Don't you know how serious your crimes are?

What are your real jobs?

-I'm a stage actor. -Actor, my foot.

You were an assistant to a street peddler.

How did you all meet?

Well, when did we meet?

Anyway, I got a call a long time ago.

He said I only needed to say a few things.

I did and was paid a paltry sum for helping out.

Who called you?

Who was it?

Hey.

Was it you?

No way.

It was Professor An who called us.

What do you mean? It was all your idea, Director Yoon.

It was you, who had a degree, that came up with the idea.

A degree has nothing to do with this. You have the street smarts.

Hold on.

Tell us what happened one by one.

Starting with Mr. Yoon Seong-jo.

I was just playing Minhwatu at home

when I got a call from Mr. Kim

asking if he could use my acting skills for a good cause.

So I helped him out thinking I could earn some chump change.

And how much was that chump change?

What?

Sir.

It was really chump change.

So?

Where did the pastor's 400 million won go?

How dare you try to pin it all on me?

I'm an eastern philosophy major.

I don't and I can't do things like this.

So you don't know where the 400 million went?

That's right.

Then where has the money gone? It's not like it can run away.

I have no idea. They must've split it between the two of them.

-What? -Damn it!

You bastards!

-Are you accusing me? -What?

You all deserve to burn in hell!

Do you know what I went through for that money?

Do you know how precious that money is?

Stop spewing nonsense!

Mr. Seol In-su was arrested last night.

And most of his accomplices have been found guilty

and will be arrested soon.

Okay.

But may I ask you something?

Yes?

If I settle with them, would they be able to avoid jail time?

Settle with what?

Don't worry about it and tell me.

There are videos of me online,

and they told me to settle with them for having the videos deleted.

Who told you that?

Did their lawyer say that?

Yes.

Don't ever do it.

They'll be arrested even if you settle.

Those bastards.

I'll have those videos deleted and charge them with the production

and illegal distribution of pornography, so don't worry.

Where are you staying right now?

At a friend's place.

Brace yourself for what will come.

You'll have to keep paying back the money you borrowed under your name

except for the ones that are illegal.

Okay.

Don't cry. This is only the beginning.

You can go now.

-Ma'am. -Yes?

This will all be forgotten soon and things will get better, right?

Whether it's in-game

or outside the game,

my feelings are the same.

As long as you're okay with it, Mi-ran.

-Hello. -Morning.

Good morning.

The defendant Jung Bok-rye

is yet to admit the charges against her

and has prior convictions with similar cases.

There is a chance she may try to destroy evidence with her accomplices

if she is released on bail.

Also, based on the doctor's referral,

it's been decided the severity of her illness

will in no way prevent her from being held in detention.

Hence, we suggest that her bail be denied.

Does the defendant have a comment regarding this?

COUNSEL

We'll stick with the request form we handed in earlier.

I plead with you to allow her

to be released on bail because of the condition she's suffering from.

-We'll stick with the request. -Okay.

Having looked at the suggestions you both handed in

and the testimonies made during the trial,

the court has decided on the grounds

of Ms. Jung Bok-rye's doctor's referral and her age,

that she may be released on bail of 200 million won.

That will be it for today's hearing.

We'll continue this in the next hearing.

Please stand.

Your Honor! This can't be!

-She can just pay her way out? -This is wrong!

-Please be quiet. -Then what do we become?

Prosecutor Lee. What's happened?

Why can't you be more assertive?

Being bailed doesn't mean the trial is over.

Are you sure you did your job? What is this?

-Hey, Jung Bok-rye! You're not sick! -You fraud!

We're suffering much more than you do!

Hey, you better watch your back!

You're dead if I ever see you!

Mr. Park. What brings you by?

Yes, hello.

You must be here to say hi to Prosecutor Cha.

Mr. Park Yeong-su?

Yes.

You're the defendant in the Coffee Franchise Fraud Case

Mr. Park Yeong-su, right?

Yes.

To the investigation room.

Wait.

Wait, is this…

Park Yeong-su is a victim who also committed fraud?

You ran a coffee shop from spring 2016 to January this year,

then started running your bakery.

Yes.

Ms. Ha Yun-jin, who bought the coffee shop from you,

has sued you for fraud.

She says you cooked the books

to get as much money from her as possible.

Do you admit this?

Yes.

Mr. Park Yeong-su.

You even had the broker arrested

for conning you when buying your bakery.

You committed fraud before them.

The shop wasn't doing well.

And I kept losing money every month.

I did that to make up for all the money I lost.

How can you do that to other people just so you could make back what you lost?

Prosecutor Kim. Congratulations on finally taking a case on your own.

Let's have a drink.

-Great. -Let's do that.

-Congratulations. -Congratulations.

Thank you.

I guess drinks are on Prosecutor Kim tonight.

-Right. -What?

You can't do that.

Of course, we can.

I took all my seniors to a buffet at a hotel

when I took a case on my own for the first time.

Come on.

-She did. -That's right.

So, how does it feel?

Well…

When I was little,

I thought all frauds would look like villains.

But seeing how the defendant in my first case

was the victim in Prosecutor Cha's earlier case.

I feel that even ordinary people

can resort to such things when they suffer a loss.

I'm worried that I could end up the same.

Anyway…

let's stay away from fraud and try our best not to become one.

Prosecutor Lee. How's the public hearing going?

Well, I used to do it all the time.

I heard they let Jung Bok-rye be released on bail.

I always monitor the defendant in the cases I am in charge of.

And?

You got penalized and became the trial prosecutor,

but the suspect is released on bail.

What is it you want to say?

Make sure to have her detained in her first trial.

Of course.

How's your son doing in school?

Sure. He's just a kid. He's gotten used to it quickly.

Tell him to come over on the weekend. I can play games with him.

-Really? -My gosh.

He'll be so happy to hear that.

Just last year, there were

a total of 270,029 fraud cases.

Someone became a victim of fraud every two minutes in the past year.

How many of the victims do you think have gotten back the money they lost?

-It's 8%! -No, 20%!

-Maybe 34%? -It's 20%!

-Is it 8%? -Is it 48%?

-It's 35. -Is it 45%?

It's 11%.

So that means nine out of ten people

don't get a single dime back when they become conned.

Do you get it?

-Yes. -Yes.

How about some questions?

Yes, you in the front.

If what you say is true,

we'll be targeted by frauds in society soon.

What should we do to avoid getting conned?

Well, maybe

if a con artist were to target one of you,

it may be difficult to avoid them.

Remember,

frauds look just like you and me.

So always be suspicious, careful,

and seek the help of specialists around you.

-Do you understand? -Yes.

Next.

You in the middle.

Then should we suspect you too?

Of course.

If I asked you to buy a particular item instead of paying for my speech…

Or if I asked you to buy some health supplements,

then you'd have to suspect me.

A victim every two minutes.

Even instant noodles take three minutes to cook.

A con happens to someone every two minutes.

Always remember that.

Yeong-hui, the bidding was successful.

Check your bank account.

NAMHAE BANK

DEPOSITOR: KANG *-SUK ACCOUNT BALANCE: 9,252,170

Yeong-hui, get some dishes to table five.

Yes, on my way.

The Blue House and the NIS?

And he believed that?

I mean, how do you end up falling for such ridiculous stories?

Don't you dare laugh.

It's the frauds who are in the wrong.

He's just been a pastor all his life, so he's not at fault here.

That's not true at all.

-Could we get a refill? -He wanted to cut corners…

I'm on my way.

Isn't that right?

CHA MYEONG-JU

It's so relaxing once we leave town.

I don't like public displays of affection.

Can't we just date out in the open?

Is the 2K Motors Case in the final trial?

Is that why you gave him such heavy sentencing?

Because he's your father's enemy?

I'll personally sign off everything you do in Division 2.

You're taking away the division chief's power to sign off?

How can I trust you when you can't keep your juniors in line?

He's going to make him a puppet.

Is everything I say a joke to you now?

I'm a powerless division chief now, so you think I'm not your boss?

I can't be a prosecutor who stands in the way of his juniors.

If I'm going to regret it either way, I'd rather quit.
