(Episode 9)

Are you...

going to get rid of me?

Are you waiting...

for me to say...

that I'll take full responsibility?

I'm giving you a chance.

A chance for you to repent your fault...

and to make it right.

That means I'll have to take responsibility for everything.

Even for letting Kim Woo Sung go.

You need to give him a veiled but definite hint that...

you also have a hidden blade you can use against him.

I did my best...

to serve you.

I did all the dirty and hard work for you.

And this is what I get in return?

I'm sorry, but I won't go down alone.

If I start talking,

it might become difficult for you to become the attorney general.

You sound upset. You should drink a cup of tea.

Too much of anything can make it overflow.

When it does,

you can't get it back.

You shouldn't make me your enemy.

You can always buy a broken cup,

but you can't do that with relationships.

I...

wasn't thinking straight.

Think carefully.

You're the one to make choices.

But whatever it is,

I'll decide how it ends.

I'll keep that in mind.

It wasn't me.

We have a recorded file.

How can you deny it?

I was threatened by that woman.

It's too detailed to be false.

I don't know.

It just slipped out.

We arrested Choi Myung Hoon and checked his testimony.

He admits to his attempts at abduction and murder.

But he won't confess who let him out a year ago.

Did you find the person who delivered the note?

I checked everything from deliveries to CCTVs but found nothing.

Nothing seems to be revealed clearly,

including how he was let go one year ago...

and how he ran away while he was being transferred.

If we can't prove how Yoon Seung Ro...

and Kim Woo Sung are connected,

all that Soo Ji has done so far goes to nothing.

Don't you have any ideas?

(A letter of resignation)

It was my idea to let Kim Woo Sung go.

I wanted to cover up my boss' past mistakes.

I'll tell the press that it was all because of...

me and my misguided loyalty to my boss.

I should have ended this a year ago.

I won't cause more trouble for you.

I know I'm a little late to say this,

but congratulations on your nomination for the attorney general.

Do you want to get rid of Prosecutor Oh...

and take his place?

I want to be of use to you.

I can take care of Kim Woo Sung.

What can you do...

other than using petty tricks?

I will arrest Jo Soo Ji.

As you might have guessed,

Soo Ji is behind this happening.

The abduction and the hostage incident prove...

she was after Kim Woo Sung.

This case must also be a continuation of her pursuit.

She...

is after you, sir.

She will be a problem for you...

whether she's caught or not.

That's why you need a man you can trust in the team.

You need someone who can take good care of the case so that...

past mistakes will be forgotten.

If I give you a chance?

If you give me a chance,

I'll make sure to arrest her.

(Yoon Si Wan)

(Samil Supermarket Case, Yu Na Case)

(Missing Housewife Case, Gong Kyung Soo)

(Miseo-dong Ian Apartment Murder Case, Seo Bo Mi)

If you give me a chance,

I'll make sure to arrest her.

There is only one chance.

Should I go back to my original plan?

Or...

should I cut across?

The culprit of the sexual assault that happened in 2002...

was arrested after 15 years.

However, there are criticisms that the arrest was rushed...

by the public sentiment online.

Prosecutor Oh, who was in charge of...

the Samil Supermarket case in 2004,

- resigned today. - Why is he the one resigning,

not Yoon Seung Ro?

He doesn't deserve to be a prosecutor either.

He should have been fired instead of resigning.

Do you have any grudges against him?

He was a bad guy too.

And he looks like a jerk.

But he denied the suspicion that...

he had used his power to release the real culprit a year ago.

(Prosecutor Oh takes full responsibility of the case.)

- Meanwhile, Yoon Seung Ro... - What?

- announced that they began... - That's all they have to say?

- a joint investigation... - Yoon Seung Ro.

Of the police and the prosecution...

- officially. - He got away again.

The police and the prosecution...

have begun a joint investigation to...

- arrest the criminal Jo Soo Ji. - Isn't he the one in Yu Na's case?

She's suspected of assault...

- and riot. - That's right.

He's working for Yoon Seung Ro now.

He's good at surviving.

But you shouldn't live like that.

The police and the prosecution...

are running the investigation based on the information we have.

We assume there are accomplices helping Jo Soo Ji...

with her criminal activities.

Isn't he talking about us?

- Helping her... - How'd he find out?

We should have kept it under wraps as our leader said.

- Now we need to lie low. - I will hold them responsible.

He said "accomplices".

Nothing pointed to me having any accomplices...

and he changed the focus.

What do you mean?

It's not rational...

unless they found evidence we don't know about.

Someone's manipulating the investigation.

Kyung Soo, are you leaving traces?

What?

I'm not. My hacking was immaculate.

- I can't believe that. - Come on.

- Do you believe me, Soo Ji? - Let's be more careful.

Do you not?

It's not that. You two might be in danger too now.

We can't be sure how much they know.

We must watch out.

(The Guardian)

Constable Lee, we searched that area already.

Constable Lee. Stop. What are you doing?

Stay still. I located the culprit.

- They traced me. - Will we get caught?

We have a new mission.

I can catch Soo Ji's accomplices in the next hour.

(30 hours ago)

(Joint Investigation HQ)

It's great to see you all again.

Horribly great.

If you'd caught Soo Ji back then, we wouldn't have to...

go through this horribly great time and...

my chief prosecutor wouldn't have had to get involved, right?

You're right. I brought this upon myself.

Let's make the most of it while we are at it.

There's much fine dust in the air. It's a perfect day to catch Soo Ji.

Did you side with the chief prosecutor?

All that kissing up to him...

Prosecutor Kim, you can't be so candid about that.

Why are you here? To congratulate me?

Do you think I have nothing better to do?

Then what's going on? You can't be here to work.

You don't work here. You work in the countryside.

That was until yesterday. I work here now.

Here? Seriously?

Did what I say make you call your dad for a favor?

That's how you do things.

I'm here to catch Detective Jo.

You want to catch her?

I can't let someone like you catch her.

Great. I can't give up on her now.

This just got interesting.

Let's play fair. I love twisted relationships.

Hey, shake my hand.

Did you all say hello?

I'm Park Joon Pyo and I'm in charge of catching Soo Ji.

- How are you? - Hello.

I hope we get along.

(Criminal Department)

What's going on?

We can't let Soo Ji stay a fugitive forever.

She'll only rack up more charges.

That'll make it harder for her to come back.

Are you really going to try to catch her?

Right. Prosecutors and detectives should catch fugitives.

Drink this and come to Seoul with me.

Why should I go with you?

Don't you want revenge for what happened last year?

I'll help you.

Let's do it together.

Who, you?

You make things up to punish juniors if your superior tells you to.

I had no choice back then. I was forced.

You and I both are powerless.

Two powerless men can work together.

But one order from above and you'll change.

Not everyone is loyal to Seung Ro.

Some are against him...

and there are others who help from the outside.

I'm in charge of the team put together to catch Soo Ji.

Call if you want in.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Soo Ji, we have a new mission.

Is this it?

No, there's one more thing.

This is the first and last warning. Do only as you are told.

This is totally aimed at you.

Did you see that? Don't do anything rash.

That's my call.

Don't get too confident because you did one thing.

Do you know the man in the photo?

- I don't. - Do you, Kyung Soo?

Do you know him?

The sexual abuser they caught after 15 years who's undergoing trial.

He was on TV a lot.

He's a defendant. Their faces aren't televised.

That's the difference between TV and the internet.

You can't stop guys like Kyung Soo from digging up their details.

Breaking the Communications Act and defamation could get you...

Everyone was talking about his statute of limitations.

I only watched how the online investigators handled things.

That means we have all we need.

Did you see the news yesterday?

- Yes. - Of course.

Isn't she crazy?

- I know. - Why go and do that?

- Why aren't they after her? - Why is she still out there?

What are the cops doing?

- What's wrong with her? - Maybe she's a psycho.

She isn't a psycho. She's a mom who lost a daughter.

- What? - What are you saying?

She's a show-off.

She talks like the detective's kid was murdered.

Hey.

What I meant was...

I know. Don't let that bother you.

- That explains a lot. - That's why she has no friends.

Don't you think Se Won's really weird?

Her mom's a cop and she defends a criminal.

- I know. - A cop?

Didn't you know?

She's famous for telling her mom whenever something happens here.

That's why no one upsets her.

Si Wan.

To his private lessons. I gave you the address earlier.

Who's he?

He will protect you from now on.

Keep an eye on him. Don't leave him alone for one second.

Yes, ma'am.

You hired someone last year.

And again now.

Because that woman is back.

I can't relax unless you have company.

Okay.

- Yu Na isn't dead. - Stop it, Detective Jo.

- Hey. - Stop it.

Let me go. Let me go.

- Detective Jo, calm down. - Let me go.

Where is Prosecutor Jang?

Who knows? I'm not sure.

- Let's get started. - Yes.

Thus far, we have been looking for Soo Ji...

by obtaining information from her acquaintances...

Next slide.

And eyewitness accounts.

A year after her disappearance, she arrested Woo Sung,

the culprit of her last case and turned him in with a confession.

And she posted his confession video online...

and it has been receiving the attention of the media.

He's not a suspect that has anything to do with her daughter.

Why did she catch him?

It looked like she wanted to use Woo Sung's confession...

in exchange of any evidence relating to Chief Prosecutor Yoon...

and former Senior Prosecutor Oh.

She is trying to prove that Chief Prosecutor Yoon...

tried to cover up his son's crime.

I think she's after the chief prosecutor.

Why was an accomplice brought up during the press interview?

I'm not sure about...

I will tell you about that.

Do you know the reason why...

the police have not been able to find Soo Ji?

- What is it? - Because you're on a wrong page.

Let's see. There are all useless.

Why did you do this?

We all thought Soo Ji's accomplice is someone she knows.

That's why we couldn't find her for over a year.

It wasn't an acquaintance.

It's a total stranger.

You look very confident.

You must have a good idea.

I can find Soo Ji's accomplice within an hour.

How will you do that?

Not me. The Cyber Crime Unit will find them.

It's about time they contacted me.

I set up a trap.

They'll fall in very soon.

(Court)

(East Building)

Didn't you say Lee Jang Soo is a sex offender?

You're right. 15 years ago.

But the statute of limitation for a sex crime is 10 years.

(Sex crime statute of limitation)

You're right.

What's his charge?

Special robbery and rape.

The prosecution must've indicted him with another charge.

I have no idea what you're saying.

He was a sex offender before and now he's a robber.

Then why did the victim die?

(Year 2002)

Hey. Wait.

Darn you. Stop right there.

Darn it.

(Korean melons and watermelons)

It's already late. Why isn't she home?

Her part-time job should be over already.

She said she'll return early because she's meeting her friends tomorrow.

She knew we were talking about her.

Why aren't you coming home?

This is the emergency room of Hangook Hospital.

(Restricted Area)

My goodness. Se In.

No, Se In. My dear Se In.

No, Se In.

Se In. No, Se In.

My Se In.

Se In, no.

Se In.

It was a car accident.

She got hit by a truck as she jaywalked at night.

(Emergency Room)

That's really weird.

Why is her underwear missing if this is a car accident?

What's weird about that?

There are many people who do not wear underwear nowadays.

Then does this mean we cannot...

let Jang Soo be responsible for the death of the victim?

- That's what the law says. - Darn it.

The accused's DNA was...

left in the victim's underwear,

so there is a high possibility of a rape.

However, the statute of limitation is already expired.

The prosecution did not make enough argument...

about his special robbery and rape.

The accused is innocent.

What happened to the trial?

Jang Soo has been freed.

What?

They let go of a culprit who was caught in 15 years?

The prosecution couldn't prove his special robbery and rape charges.

That's a useless law.

What about her dad?

I heard he caught the culprit himself...

because the police couldn't.

Lee Jang Soo.

He's now mixed in with a crowd of people.

No one would know...

what the man sitting next to them has done.

Kyung Soo, find every information you can about this case.

Let's see if there is a way to prove him guilty.

Okay.

I can do that very quickly.

(See if this case has anything to do with Yoon Seung Ro.)

Soo Ji, what are you...

(Keep it as a secret from Bo Mi.)

What is it? What does your text message say?

- What? - Look for those documents.

Yes, okay.

I was about to do what you told me to do.

(Search for a case)

They're in the trap.

Like Prosecutor Jang said,

that hacker downloaded case files from the police force's...

criminal justice system database.

How do you know it's them?

It's the same hacking method they used to hack the electric sign.

They made many zombie computers with USBs...

and broke in with many different IP addresses with some time apart...

to erase their traces.

Not bad, Prosecutor Jang.

But you made a judgment and you gave an order by yourself.

You must not care about your team or your superiors.

No way.

Think of this as a present for your first case as a senior prosecutor.

How did you know the hacker would...

infiltrate the database?

It's simple.

I thought, "Why did Soo Ji let the confession video go viral?"

She is obviously terrorizing the judicial branch.

And the more the audience, the more effective the terror.

That's why I knew she wouldn't overlook a hot case...

like Lee Jang Soo's trial.

I know you have many questions,

but I'll take them later.

We have to find the culprit first.

What's happening?

Thanks to the honeypots we planted, we are tracing back to them.

It's only a matter of time until we find their server.

Where are you going?

You left during the meeting too.

Are you reporting to someone by the minute?

You must be keeping your eyes only on me.

Are you that sad to be parted from me for a second?

You look as if something is more important than finding the hacker.

No way.

I think we should send some police force to the accused.

- To Jang Soo? - Prosecutor Kim.

You're going overboard to catch up to me.

We're looking for Soo Ji, not some petty criminal.

We have to check anyone who's related to that case...

as well as the scene of the crime. We must send the police force...

to patrol the area and for a stakeout.

The Korean police are not free enough to be used in a case...

as petty as this one.

Like Prosecutor Jang said, if this hacker and Soo Ji are in complicity,

that means Soo Ji is after Jang Soo, just like Woo Sung's case.

Prosecutor Kim has a point. Do that.

Yes, I will.

Find out where Jang Soo is...

- and call Ilsan Police Station. - Yes.

Haven't you find the hacker yet?

It'll take some more time.

If we're lucky, we'll get Soo Ji and her accomplice.

The situation changed. Do that if things don't go according to plan.

Yes, okay.

We sent a patrol over to Jang Soo's house...

- and there will be inspections. - Great job.

Darn it.

Like you said, I looked into all pertaining documents.

The police thought it was a simple accident and didn't investigate.

If the victim's dad hadn't brought missing underwear and belongings up,

it would've been covered up.

The original investigation was a mess.

What was the prosecution's ground on adding him a robbery charge?

Jang Soo sold Se In's laptop and iPod.

I've done that, but it's not like any documents are left.

I agree. That's what happened in my case too.

Then what do we do? Is there no way to get Jang Soo?

We have to prove his robbery to disregard the statute of limitation.

How can we do that now?

There are only a few days left to prove his special robbery and rape.

We'll find it starting now.

There will be evidence that he left without knowing.

Can you find out if Jang Soo drove this taxi back then?

Okay.

(Lee Jang Soo, car number 32A4514)

He did. But he's on a suspension right now.

Wait.

Take your hands off of that case right now.

Stop what you were doing. Leader sent me a text.

How do you know it's him?

The only ones who know this number are you two and him.

Why does he want us to stop now?

I found him. Munrae-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul.

Get going.

Darn it, they traced back to me.

What? What's happening to us then? Are we going to be arrested?

The police traced back to my IP address.

They'll be here soon.

Get out of there. I'll pick you up.

No, it looks like they are taking the data from my server too.

If I leave it, they will get all of our information.

Is there any way around this?

I have to delete the proxy server's data.

What are you talking about? Are you sure you know what to do?

I am very busy right now.

The police are coming. Run.

What? Already?

Not you. The police are headed to Jang Soo's house.

I think they know what we are up to.

(Episode 10 will be broadcast soon.)
