STRANGER

STRANGER

As of 10 a.m. today,
our office will launch

a special investigation
to thoroughly investigate

the suspicions surrounding
prosecutors and corruption.

I will assign it to a prosecutor
who will investigate everyone fairly

regardless of their positions.

The prosecutor in charge

is Si-mok Hwang of Division Three.

Moreover,

I regret that the organization

under my leadership has been the source
of a series of mishaps and scandals.

Hence, I will take responsibility

by resigning from my position.

This organization
has been everything to me,

but I'm not indispensable here.

My departure from the organization
should not affect you.

You must carry out your tasks thoroughly
to make sure that no one questions

the results of the investigation
and the trial.

You haven't even had
your inauguration ceremony yet.

Do you take the post that lightly?

If you want to take responsibility,
do it in your position.

If you want to apologize,

do it as the Chief Prosecutor.

Is our office where people can come
and go as they wish?

Does my authority
as the prosecutor in charge

begin right away?

Officially, it begins upon receiving
a letter of appointment, but yes.

The job begins right away.

You'll have an office
at the central district office.

Get a team together first.

SENIOR ASSISTING OFFICER KIM

I need full information
on Mr. Seo's assets and properties.

I'll get a warrant issued immediately
so that he can't destroy any evidence.

Anyone else?

Anyone else you want to dig up
dirt on as if you've been waiting for it?

Not yet.

The Public Prosecutor General will decide
when you'll be appointed officially.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Hwang. He said
you're starting right away, right?

You'll be so busy.

What should I start with?

Don't do anything.

Okay.

Why are you doing this?

-Please get started.
-Yes, sir.

Mr. Seo!

Do you want to die?

How dare you try to trick me?

What are you all looking at?

I can't believe the first thing he does
is try to evade responsibility.

I saw them searching Dong-jae's office.

Already?

Does the Public Prosecutor General
know Si-mok?

How did he get assigned
to the special investigation?

There is no way he knows Si-mok.

He was probably recommended.

Mr. Lee must have given recommendations.

He wouldn't have recommended him unless
he wanted to turn this place upside down.

That's why he has washed his hands
of the whole thing.

"You all sort it out amongst yourselves.
I'm leaving." Wasn't it so?

LIST OF REQUESTED INVESTIGATORS
RECIPIENT: YONGSAN POLICE STATION

CHIEF PROSECUTOR

I regret that the organization

under my leadership has been the source
of a series of mishaps and scandals.

Hence, I will take responsibility
by resigning from my position.

Are you inside?

-Are you in there?
-Are you inside?

Do you all have that much time
on your hands?

I got that, and I packed that too.

I didn't forget anything, right?

I'm not sure what else we'll need
as it's my first special investigation.

What's going on? What's he doing?

Sir!

Mr. Hwang.

What's happening now?

Yes, this is
Prosecutor Si-mok Hwang's office.

Great, thank you.

Mr. Hwang, everything is ready
at the central district office.

-Let's go.
-Okay.

Pass me my jacket.

ASSISTANT CHIEF BYUNG-HO PARK
OF DIVISION TWO

Let's do it. Get in touch with me anytime
if there is anything you want to ask.

ONE NEW MESSAGE

CRIMINAL TRIAL DEPT. MIN-WOO CHOI
YOU RECEIVED A GIFT

You'll be pulling all-nighters
on behalf of us.

CHIEF PROSECUTOR OF WESTERN SEOUL
PROSECUTORS' OFFICE SUDDENLY RESIGNS

Goodness.

Chief, we received a request
from the prosecution.

What do they want now?

They want us to send investigators?

What?

Do they want this one too?

I know, right?

Shall I talk to her and discover
what they're trying to do?

There is no need.

Tell them we'll gladly cooperate.

Okay.

Yes, sir.

You're the first one to arrive.

-You're here.
-Yes.

It's okay.

Lieutenant, it's here.

Hello.

I'm Geon Jang from the investigation team
at Yongsan Police Station.

-Nice to meet you all.
-Let's save it for later.

Who else is coming?

Mr. Hwang.

Hello.

-Hello.
-Goodness, what a surprise.

What's the matter?

It looks like everyone is here now.
Let's introduce ourselves first.

I'm Si-mok Hwang.

This is Investigator Ho-seob Kim.

It's nice to meet you all.

I've been assisting Mr. Hwang
for two years.

Come on. I'm giving it to you
because I know how hard you work.

This is Assisting Officer Young Choi.

I'm happy to meet you all.

Mr. Se-won Yoon from Case Management
at Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office.

It's nice to meet you all.

He came to my husband's company to talk,
saying he's your colleague.

And he already knew
about the surgery you had.

Have you been talking about that
to other people?

And...

Mr. Jung-bon Kim.

Jung-bon Kim?

I worked as a legal office manager
for a long time and...

Anyway, I'm honored to be here.
I look forward to working with you all.

I think it's strange that I keep running
into him since the trial.

It can be a coincidence, but it's too odd.

Would you be able to look into it?

They say, "Keep your friends close
and your enemies closer."

Lieutenant Yeo-jin Han from Yongsan
Police Station's investigation team.

Hello, I'll do my best to ensure
a successful investigation.

Detective Geon Jang is from the same team.

Hello, everyone. I'll do my very best.

I look forward to working with you.

What's the matter?

When did "financially-sponsored
prosecutor" become a common term?

As far as I remember, it was back
when a businessman in Busan

reported about 100 prosecutors
whom he bribed to the police.

That's right. Then how is this case
different from that one?

Back then, the briber was alive.

In this case, Moo-sung Park is dead.

That's correct.

Even though the briber himself

reported about 100 prosecutors
to the police,

the case closed with only one of them
being advised to resign.

In our case, the person who holds the key,
Moo-sung Park, is dead.

If you think this special investigation
will be a waste of time,

you may leave now.

This is Dong-jae Seo, the prosecutor
who helped Moo-sung Park,

who was the CEO of Sanghwa Construction
at the time, get cleared of his charges

for a DUI hit-and-run in 2013.

He...

is the starting point.

Mr. Kim, what I'm saying is

Kyung-wan Park had them even when
we were interrogating him that afternoon.

Those bruises. Yes.

I asked the police officers about it
right away.

They said he caused a total ruckus
when he was being arrested.

That's what I'm saying.

He resisted and went crazy
because he didn't want to be cuffed.

How can he publicly announce
that he was beaten up

by the police a day
after he got those bruises himself?

-I couldn't believe it. I was speechless.
-The date.

-It's obviously a lie.
-The changed date.

Why did he lie about the date
if he really was abused?

Mr. Seo.

I just heard that your arrest warrant
has been rejected.

Yes, that's right.

Exactly.

That is a fact.

Hello?

I've been listening to
what Mr. Lee was saying.

Me? I'm Prosecutor Dong-jae Seo.

I didn't get a heads-up either.

I think Prosecutor Seo went ahead
and tipped them off.

He definitely should have
consulted with us first.

He beat us because he was scared we might
get furious and take him down with us.

He'll be doomed for good
if people discover that he had her phone.

He knew that I'd say no
even if he tries to negotiate.

Goodness, that scum.

Frankly, that's the only way out for us.

There's no reason for us to say no.
Why are you against it?

He'll be the first one to get cuffed
when the special investigation begins.

But we can't really refute his claim.

It'd be better for us
if he doesn't get caught.

Lieutenant.

It's Mapo Police Station.

They were in charge
of Moo-sung Park's hit-and-run case.

Okay.

DUI HIT-AND-RUN CASE REPORT

CASE REPORT

MOO-SUNG PARK, DUI HIT-AND-RUN

TRAFFIC DIVISION

Moo-sung Park used to frequent
this place to entertain his guests.

Thank you.

CASE REPORT
ON CHEONGDAM-DONG LOUNGE ASSAULT

His name is Tae-gyun Kim.
He used to deliver cash for Moo-sung Park.

Get him!

You prick.

What should I work on?

You can prepare our statement
for the press conference tomorrow.

That's what you want me to do?

Does that mean you want me
to be the team's spokesman?

Mr. Hwang, the arrest warrant
for Mr. Seo has been rejected.

"Since he is willing to provide
explanations

for the crimes he is charged with,

it is hard to acknowledge the necessity
to take him into custody."

Goodness, they always say that.

It's like they copy and paste it
all the time.

This has Park's bank account history
from the last four years.

Gosh. Four years.

Let's work hard.

-Okay.
-Thank you.

-I'll see you all later.
-Bye.

Mr. Lee.

I see all of you are working hard.

I'm Geon Jang from Yongsan Police Station.

It's nice to meet you.

Yes, of course.

I'm Yeo-jin Han.

I've heard a lot about you.

I see. I hope they were good things.

I'm Jung-bon Kim. It's an honor to meet
you in person, Mr. Chief Prosecutor.

Jung-bon Kim?

The civil righter who exposed Kyung-wan
Park getting abused by the police?

I wasn't expecting much,

but no one will be able to doubt
the fairness of your investigation.

What a great move.

That's why you want me
to be the team's spokesman.

I'll be the face of the team.

Let's go see Mr. Prosecutor General.

-Yes, sir.
-Roll your sleeves back down.

See you later.

I hope the meeting goes well.

Do you and Mr. Hwang
personally know each other?

Goodness, my mouth.
I shouldn't have said anything.

We should get going too.

-Okay. See you.
-See you later.

-See you.
-See you in a little.

Bye.

KYUNG-WAN PARK

Lieutenant.

You knew about that guy,
Jung-bon Kim, didn't you?

He's the one who screwed us over.

Yes, I'll leave right away, Kyung-wan.

Okay. For now, just don't say anything.

Did something happen?

That was Kyung-wan.

He's being accused
of fabricating the whole story.

Do you mean the police?

My team at Yongsan Police Station?

They're basically saying
that Kyung-wan is a liar.

I have to go there first.

I'm aware you're not pleased
about the situation. I'm sorry.

-Well, it's...
-Hey, Kyung-wan.

-I was just... What did I...
-I'm leaving now.

Do you still think they screwed us over,
or is it the other way around?

Why is she getting mad at me?
I didn't do anything.

What did I do wrong?
They started it first.

How long have you known the civil righter?

We went to middle school together.

I heard about the court dismissing
the arrest warrant for Mr. Seo.

He'll get arrested
if your team delivers results.

LETTER OF APPOINTMENT

Thank you, sir.

No, you should resent me.

I gave you a knife so that you can slay
your colleagues.

Mr. Hwang.

Do you know why you're here now?

I don't know why it has to be me,

but I do know what I have to do.

Right. I heard you're not married yet.

What do you think of him as your
future son-in-law? Isn't he so reliable?

Do you not love his job?

Most people think that the words,

"prosecutor" and "doctor,"
share the same Chinese character.

The character in "doctor" means "teacher,"

and the one in "attorney" means "scholar."

However, the one in "prosecutor"
means "work."

It made me wonder if we prosecutors
are thought to be inhumane,

but I heard that the character for "work"
embodies a person holding a flag high.

That's what we ought to strive for,
Mr. Hwang.

Someone who shows the way forward.

Someone who can lead others by example.

Show everyone that is how we actually are.

Yes, sir.

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

This won't solve anything.

I apologize, sir.

All right. Get started.

I wanted to get you set up before I leave.

I see.

Let's have dinner together.

I can't, sir. I need to get back.

No one will be there.
All of them must've left by now.

Pardon me?

It's just one meal. Relax.

Thank you.

I guess it's a small team.

Not having too many people on the team
must be better for teamwork.

Yes, it is.

I've never seen
a female homicide detective before.

How are you liking it?
Are they good to you?

There's no reason for them
to give me special treatment.

They treat me the same.

I see. Good for you.

That must be them.

-I guess the traffic wasn't bad.
-No.

I'm Si-mok Hwang.

Gosh.

You look much more handsome in person.
You look very young too. Aren't I right?

Please have a seat.

You too, honey.

I bought our flight tickets.

Let's go see Soo-jung as soon as
you finish tying up loose ends.

She won't even be happy to see us.

She's no longer our little girl.

Are you all married?

What about children?
Do all of you have children?

I have a three-year-old.

It's a boy.

That's when children are at their cutest.
Spend as much time as possible with him.

Yes. He's so adorable,

but I can't go home often.

It must be because of the investigation.

It looks like you've already
started working on it.

No, not yet.

What about you, Mr. Hwang?
Are you seeing anyone?

Pardon me?

I guess you're not.

Shall I set you up with someone?
I know many pretty ladies.

-Are you okay with that?
-Pardon?

I like pretty women too.

What do you mean by that?

They say that women are
their own worst enemies.

Women who agree with that saying
must have been

treating other women as their enemies,
don't you think?

Is it you, Dad?

You're home.

They're Chang-jun's colleagues.
We wanted to have dinner with them.

Hello.

You're more handsome in person
than on television.

All right. This looks
like The Last Supper.

-Sir, please join us...
-Hey.

Well...

We'll get going.

We're not done here.

It looks like everyone is done.

Apologies for the trouble.

If you know that,

-how can you be this rude to...
-It's okay.

Goodbye.

Chuck everything in the garbage.

He's like that. Just ignore it.

There's only a thin line between
a prosecutor and a chief prosecutor.

It wasn't a total waste of time though.

Now, I know that team is nothing special.

I did eat some food,
but I can't really say that I had dinner.

How about we go for some drinks
and something warm?

-That sounds great.
-I'll see you all tomorrow.

-Mr. Hwang.
-Have a good night.

Does he ever age or what?
He hasn't changed one bit.

Be respectful, will you?

But we are hungry.
So, let's go for some food.

-Let's go eat.
-Let's go.

Goodness, I'm craving soup.

What do you feel like eating?

Shall we go for sizzling hot soup
or something that's more like stew?

Well, what's happening with Kyung-wan?

It has turned into a big mess.

Even the human rights commission
is saying there's no way to refute it.

Is there anyone else who can prove it
by any chance?

It looks like you and Mr. Hwang
go a long way back.

Yes, time flies. We've known
each other for 20 years now.

Gosh, how did you put up
with his personality for two decades?

I can't say it's been two full decades.
There was...

JUNG-BON KIM

SI-MOK HWANG

Well, about Mr. Yoon...

Is there a problem in his family?
Are they having trouble conceiving?

Right, I was wondering the same thing
when she asked him if he has any children.

That's not it.

His kid died.

-Sorry?
-Pardon?

How did it happen?

A car accident.

On the way home from a field trip.

Goodness.

When was it?

Was it about two years ago?

He took a long leave of absence
after that.

He returned to work recently.

Gosh.

That place looks pretty good.
Let's just go there. It's the closest.

-Okay, let's do that.
-Sounds good.

-I love pollack.
-Me too.

GA-YOUNG KIM, WITNESS

WHO WOULD'VE BEEN SCARED
OF GA-YOUNG KIM GIVING STATEMENTS?

MOO-SUNG PARK, VICTIM
SPONSORED THE POLICE AND PROSECUTORS

ASSOCIATED WITH THE IL-JAE YOUNG CASE

CHANG-JUN LEE, DONG-JAE SEO

YUN-BEOM LEE, HANJO GROUP

What are you doing here?

Put that down.

Get out.

Why can't I be part
of the special investigation team?

Why do you have to be part of it?

Because I really want to work on the case.
I'll do my best.

I know that you'll work harder
than anyone else will.

I also know that you'll do your very best
to take down Mr. Lee.

I'm not trying to frame him
for something he didn't do.

You said yourself

that Moo-sung Park sent
an underage girl to Mr. Lee.

That sure counts as bribery.

Do you think we're here
to help you get your revenge?

Get out.

I knew you'd be here.

Gosh, I think I forgot something.
I should...

Ms. Young.

-Give it to me. I'll take it.
-All right.

I'll put in some rinds
as well as some fried chicken.

Nothing beats bossam
as a drink accompaniment.

Gosh.

You should take a quick break
and have some of this, Mr. Hwang.

-Goodness.
-It's bossam.

Thank you.

Your sweater fell on the floor.

It's been a long day
even though it was only our first day.

-Good work, everyone.
-Great job.

Mr. Yoon, how's your hand?

-Sorry? It's...
-You said you served in the Marine Corps.

Don't they say marines can
even beat ghosts?

Ghosts don't use cell phones.

I'll be sure to catch him next time.

About the restaurant Moo-sung Park used
to frequent to entertain his guests...

I heard they got audited out of the blue.

Collection officers came by at night

and counted the empty liquor boxes
put outside of the restaurant.

They turned the place upside down,

asking why the reported numbers
don't match that of the empty boxes.

Could it have been a coincidence?

The witness of the hit-and-run accident
changed the statement in a day

after saying Moo-sung Park was the driver.

I'm going to meet the witness tomorrow.

-By the way...
-Yes, Mr. Kim. What is it?

Mr. Lee's wife completely looks
like a beauty pageant queen.

-Goodness.
-Goodness, seriously.

I know, right? She's also
from a filthy rich family.

Yes, it means he has to see
Yun-beom Lee every day at home.

Will Mr. Lee start working for Hanjo Group
after leaving the prosecution?

It's owned by his wife's family.

He'll obviously go that route
for that reason.

He'll get a sweet position
using his connections.

I didn't think he'd do such a thing.

Well, it looks like he has some assets
under someone else's name.

It's the chief of Division One.

-What are you working on?
-Why...

-It's my task.
-Gosh.

Why are you being so shy?
Read it aloud for us as practice.

It looks short,
but it's actually very long.

"April 21, 2017.

I'll begin the first briefing
of the special investigation team

whose goal is to reveal the truth

about the bribery case
involving prosecutors.

First, we will summon Prosecutor Seo
from Western Seoul..."

No.

Don't specify anyone.

-Just say we're preparing for it.
-Okay.

Detective Jang, we have to interview
the referential witness tomorrow.

Please bring her on time.

Sure, no problem. By the way,

I don't have her address yet.

That information

will be given to you tomorrow morning.

All right.

"We're keeping all possibilities open

to uncover the constituents
of the crime as quickly as possible.

We'll let nothing get in our way to ensure
a thorough investigation of the case.

Last but not least, we would like
to express our heartfelt gratitude

for all of your support
and interest in the case."

BRIBERY CASE INVOLVING PROSECUTORS,
SPECIAL PROSECUTOR SI-MOK HWANG

-There he is.
-Take photos now.

Did you receive bribes?

How do you feel now?

When did you first meet Moo-sung Park?

Will you be taken into police custody?

-How do you feel about the investigation?
-Please say a few words.

Go get some water at least, you pricks.

We received many gifts
because it was around the holidays.

I didn't think it was anything perishable
as it looked like a box of fruits,

so I left it in our balcony,
which I shouldn't have done.

We opened it when my husband got home,
and we were...

We were so surprised
when we saw the bundles of cash.

We called the number on the business card
found on the box,

and the person came and took it.
That's really everything that happened.

In 2013, the company at which your
brother-in-law was the director

was constructing a new building.

The contract with the late Moo-sung Park
was signed at a reduced price.

That is complete nonsense.

It was immediately after the two of you
met through the hit-and-run case.

You took the difference
which was 400 million won.

You must know it's considered
bribery through an intermediary.

This is considered spreading
false information and defamation.

You must know that.

This is amazing!

Mr. Hwang made a good call
by giving him time to hide things.

It's 78 REO 9257.

It's BMW's newest model.

We found it in the underground parking lot
at Crown Hotel near Namsan.

We heard that you've never paid
for parking for seven months.

You handled the owner of the hotel chain
Young-ho Cha's assault case, didn't you?

Immediately after that,
70,000 shares of the company's stock

got listed under your nephew's name.
How old is he this year?

-Tell Si-mok to come here.
-Is he even in kindergarten now?

I said, bring Si-mok!

He's busy at the moment.

He asked me to pass this message
along to you.

"We certainly have enough evidence
to arrest you.

The investigation will go on
for a long time.

We will make sure to reveal everything."

Well. I can share what I know...

He also said that there will be
no negotiation.

Chief of Division One was bribed too.

You can go home and wait
for your arrest warrant.

Just staying home might be a good idea.

MR. YOON

He's leaving now.

All right.

You can get going now.

Thank you.

I really appreciate
everything you're doing.

You don't need to thank me.
Please get going.

This way, please.

Reporters are still in the lobby, right?

Pardon me?

Let's take the stairs.

You can at least do that for me, right?

He needs to see her.

Mom!

Hey, Eun-soo. When did you get here?

-Mom, are you okay?
-Eun-soo?

Let's go.

He asked me to pass this message
along to you.

"We certainly have enough evidence
to arrest you.

-The investigation will go..."
-For a long time.

We'll make sure to reveal everything.

Mr. Seo! Gosh...

Mr. Seo. Goodness.

Hello? Someone here
fell down a flight of stairs.

Mr. Seo.

-What happened?
-What happened to him?

-Just a moment.
-Don't push!

-What on earth happened?
-What's going on?

Come in.

Don't you dare bother my family.

I locked myself away for three years.
You must know my intentions.

I'll take it to my grave,
so all of you should also

keep your promise.

My wife

and my daughter, Eun-soo.

Leave them alone.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand
what you're saying.

Si-mok Hwang summoned my wife.

He's protesting to make me
unbury the truth.

He's saying the investigation won't be
over with just a few prosecutors caught.

He intentionally got my wife involved
to make me disclose what I know.

This is only the beginning for him.

I won't say a word, no matter
what kind of ruckus he causes.

So all of you shouldn't

do anything either.

Go tell your father-in-law
exactly what I said.

Okay, I will let him know.

You're giving up on yourself after all.

How foolish.

You don't believe in yourself.

You don't know where your talents
should be used.

They've been used enough here.

I want to use them for something else now.

WESTERN SEOUL PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
CHIEF PROSECUTOR CHANG-JUN LEE

That was at Mapo Police Station.

I think they re-investigated
Moo-sung Park's DUI hit-and-run case.

They're going the right way.

This guy is quite something.

He should've been taken aback

or at least tried to grip and yank
my hand as forcefully.

He did neither.

Goodness.

Yes, where are you? I'm here now.

Yes. I'm right outside.

Okay.

How long has it been since
the last time I worked? Dear me.

Goodness.

You can sit in the back.

Are you the one who called a taxi?

Why do you ask?

Am I not allowed to or what?

I was just...

What's this now?

-Who are you?
-Hello.

You are cops. Shit.

-Sir.
-Yes.

Where did you drop Min-ah Kwon off
besides the bar?

Is this about her again?

Please, sir. Okay, I'll tell you.

You've picked her up
from other places too, right?

Whether they're motels or hotels,
please list all the places

she used to go regularly.

Well, I actually got fired from the bar.
They found out I called the police.

Somebody must've blabbed about it.

-I see.
-Really? We're so sorry.

-What should we do?
-Was it...

I'll ask you one last time.

Was it back in the summer?

After I dropped Min-ah off,
I went inside to use the washroom.

That's when I saw her
using the phone in the lobby.

I thought the man must be someone
who's quite powerful.

Since a bunch of power brokers
got in trouble due to records

on a girl's phone in the past,

they all hate leaving traces
on phone records,

especially the more powerful ones.

-Hello.
-Hello.

We're from the police.

Please cooperate.

GUEST HISTORY

She's been here so many times.

Mr. Hwang.

Yes.

Well, they wanted some snacks.

Actually, there's something
I want to tell you.

Please go ahead.

I should have told you sooner.

I actually dug up some intel on you.

Why did you do that?

I was told to do it by high-ups.

So?

I reported everything to Mr. Lee.

How should I put this? Back then,
I didn't know he'd abandon us like this.

I apologize. You picked me for your team
without knowing any of it.

He came to my husband's company to talk,
saying he's your colleague.

If you no longer think that I qualify
to be part of the team...

It's fine.

My family already told me about it.

Your family told you?

Yes.

So you knew everything?

Yes.

My gosh, you bought so many.

We have so much bread here.

I'll make coffee for everyone too.

Wow.

-You're the best.
-I'll do it.

-Could you please stir it?
-Sure.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

Here you go. I hope all of you enjoy it.

We can't even go out for team dinners
as people might eavesdrop.

This is really good. It tastes
as if it's from a coffee shop.

Gosh. You're right.

Si-mok. I mean, Mr. Hwang.
You should have...

Where's Mr. Kim?
Is he still at the hospital?

Why Mr. Seo out of everyone?

What do you mean by that?
Are they on bad terms?

I can't really say
that they're on bad terms...

Mr. Seo recently gave him
some cash as spending money,

which put him in an awkward position.

No, he didn't spend it.

He gave it all to me so that we can use it
toward our investigation expenses.

But Mr. Seo kept criticizing him
for eating up the money

and not giving him anything in return.

Even a kid won't be that immature.

Goodness. Hearing about that one incident
tells me all I need to know about him.

Is that good?

-Not really.
-Seriously?

You're right.

Then, something else for me.

Did you discover anything yet?

Well, we discovered that Ga-young
used to book a room

at the hotel on Mondays
about two or three times a month.

-Only on Mondays?
-Yes. She used Min-ah Kwon's name for it.

But we don't know anything about the man.

He must've paid for the room
with his credit card.

Ga-young paid.

With cash.

Goodness, how sleazy.

I bet he gave her the cash and got out
through the underground parking lot.

We asked them for the security
camera footage,

but they said they've
probably discarded it

as it was too long ago.

I had a chat with my friend
who works at Sungmoon Daily.

They still don't know
who the informant is.

No way. Don't you think it's bullshit?

I don't think so

because they think it's odd too.

Everyone knows that the chairman
of Hanjo Group is Mr. Lee's father-in-law,

yet that article exposing the scandal
was approved at one go.

As you all know, Sungmoon Daily
is conservative.

It's also a big corporation,
just like Hanjo Group.

They certainly could have filtered it out.

My friend said it's unprecedented.

Is there rivalry between them?

They might be holding grudges.

Have Sungmoon and Hanjo
ever butted heads against each other?

Not that I know of.

Can we talk for a minute?

Did something happen?

Well...

About Mr. Il-jae Young's wife...

Summoning her has anything to do
with the special investigation?

Yes.

Then you should've given us a heads-up.

We're a team, yet no one knew about it.

I had to keep it confidential.

Keep it confidential? From whom?

Chang-jun Lee

and Hanjo Group.

I get why you wanted to keep it
from Mr. Lee.

But why Hanjo Group?

Moo-sung Park's total shares
in Hanjo Group

used to be worth over ten billion won.

That ten billion won is what ties Il-jae
Young, Chang-jun Lee and Yun-beom Lee

together.

Are you saying you want
to drag Yun-beom Lee into this too?

This investigation will be meaningless
if it ends at Moo-sung Park.

The problem will continue to branch out
if we fail to uproot it completely.

There will be other victims
like Moo-sung Park.

Are you really determined

to uproot the problem with your own hands?

Someone has to get

to the bottom of it someday.

Our investigation could be
the starting point.

It won't be easy though.

Right, it's not like we're easy.

You asked me to gather
some intel on Mr. Jung-bon Kim.

-I'll throw this out for you.
-Thank you.

He offers free legal advice, and he's also
actively involved in NGO work.

What about the other ones?
Do you still not fully trust them?

Mr. Kim secured the evidence
without giving it away to Dong-jae.

Mr. Yoon also approached me first

to come clean about gathering intel on me.

What about me?

Can you trust me?

Is someone digging up intel on me?

That won't happen because there's no need.

Let's discover what Hanjo Group is hiding.
They aren't that big of a deal.

Gosh. I wonder how Mr. Kim is doing.

DEPARTMENT CHIEF, DIVISION THREE
WON-CHUL KANG

Are you really going to go?

Of course. Do you think
I'm putting on a show?

Does that prick want to die or what?
How dare he summon his department chief?

What are you talking about?

He got that job to do things like this.

Do you happen to know why he summoned you?

-Mr. Seo.
-Goodness.

Did you see...

-Goodness.
-What's wrong with him?

My shoes.

Yes, Mr. Kim.

What should we do? Mr. Seo is gone.

-Mr. Hwang, the hospital just called...
-I just heard about it too.

I guess miracles do happen.

Sir, please help me.

Sir, help me, please.

Sir! Sir, please help me.

Sir, I need your help!

I'll do anything, sir.

I can do anything!

Anything you say! Sir, please.

-Hey!
-Many are willing to do anything for me.

There's something Mr. Lee hasn't told you!

Let go!

STRANGER

-Hey, when did she wake up?
-We have to move her.

You can't tell anyone about it.
You absolutely shouldn't.

How can you not know where she is?

The guy who delivered the cash to my dad.
He's running away now.

What are you looking for?
It's not your desk.

Evidence.

The police did something
they should never do.

The culprit wants things
about Moo-sung Park to be exposed.

What will you sell if I'm buying from you?

I started the special investigation
to catch all of them.

Are you saying you'll do this?

I won't stop at a tip of the iceberg
like Moo-sung Park.
