ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

I'm going to steal the Adamas.

To reveal that it was used for the murder,

the autopsy result and Adamas must be collated.

Would Haesong cooperate? No, never.

Are you out of your mind?

You need to help me.

He's insane.

It wasn't me.

I didn't recommend you.

-Mr. Choi. -Don't look too surprised.

I just wanted to talk to you in private.

Sure.

I need you to leave this house.

This is an ultimatum.

I have no plans to do that, let alone empty-handed.

Continue being cheeky, and you'll get hurt.

Much more than you think.

I'm hot-tempered, you see.

You're so predictable.

Judging by how you're threatening me, you must be in a rush.

I won't tolerate you anymore.

I could easily

get rid of you…

What's going on?

Ms. Kwon.

I can't breathe, Mr. Choi…

That…

That…

That…

Get it together! Exactly which one?

That's vitamin K, right?

Vitamin K is an antidote for rat poison.

You'd know if you've read my book.

The character's lover was fed rat-poisoned food every day.

And the character ate some too to avoid suspicion,

but also took some vitamin K, an antidote…

…in order to live.

Are you toying with me?

It was a test.

You're not the only one who can sound someone out.

You little scumbag!

Curse at me all you want,

but you still won't intimidate me.

Your decisions are what show your true nature.

Your true colors are revealed depending on what decisions you make

during certain situations.

You chose to save me which means

you can't kill me.

Cut this nonsense.

I chose not to kill you because

I didn't see the need to go that far just to kick you out of here.

I'm going to kick you out of this house effortlessly.

Will you grab me by the collar and drag me out?

No.

I won't lay a hand on you.

You're not my target.

I'm not your target?

Right. She should've arrived by now.

You must know best what your Achilles' heel is.

Kim's wife, Im, got into a car accident

and couldn't sustain her life without any help.

The police are assuming that Kim was exhausted

from nursing his wife that he ended up

murdering her and taking his own life

-by jumping from their apartment. -He killed himself?

Suhyeon.

The police find it highly probable…

It can't be.

…that these circumstances were the cause of this incident.

They're investigating the details

by interviewing the bereaved and witnesses.

Who are you?

Ms. Kim.

Why are you…

Ms. Kim.

It's all my fault.

Did something happen? What do you mean?

I am…

to blame.

I took you to their house.

What are you talking about?

My parents…

passed away.

I'm Reporter Seo Yeonjin, reporting from the crime scene.

The neighbors have testified that the couple loved each other dearly

and are heartbroken over this incident.

After the police investigated the crime scene…

Are you saying…

they were your parents?

Dad.

Mom.

Dad.

He's still safe for now. We're just tailing him.

You're watching him?

Don't be so relieved just yet.

Keep in mind that we can always

kill him or let him live.

Stay away from him this instant.

Shouldn't you have expected this much

when you blackmailed the Special Investigations Headquarters?

People around you will face harm instead of you.

Let me tell you something right now.

You're making a mistake.

You should've braced yourself

if you threw the first punch.

Don't worry, Mom. I'm eating well and doing great.

How's Dad doing?

Your dad?

How is he?

Eating well?

Jeez, your dad misses you so much.

Tell him I miss him too. Okay.

I need to use the phone. It's an emergency.

-But still-- -Dongrim.

Here.

Your call cannot be connected and will be forwarded to…

Please stop the car.

-Sorry? -You can go back home.

I'll take care of this.

Please pull over.

-What are you doing? -Pull over.

-Right now! -Ms. Kim, please calm down.

Calm down. This is dangerous.

You came to me for help.

But now, you don't want my help?

I told you. I'll take care of this on my own.

I shouldn't have come to you in the first place.

Ms. Kim.

You think it wasn't suicide, right?

Isn't that why you came to see me?

I know that you're confused and scared.

But let's remain levelheaded.

We need to understand what's going on.

I don't know what came over me.

I must've been out of my mind for a minute.

I just couldn't trust anyone in this situation.

I understand.

Let's dig into this together.

I'm sorry about what happened.

They didn't commit suicide. They would never.

I'm sure of it.

Shouldn't you have expected this much

when you blackmailed the Special Investigations Headquarters?

People around you will face harm instead of you.

You've got beef with Mr. Choi, don't you?

Did you guys fight?

Right. I get it.

You have a knack for upsetting others.

Looking like a psychopath, your words are merciless.

But you only state the facts.

It really gets to us, you know?

-Lee Dongrim. -Yes?

Leave this house.

Oh, come on.

I'm not joking around.

To be honest,

I need some extra cash.

I know I should listen to you.

But my dad will be getting a liver transplant soon.

I need more money for the surgery.

I didn't know that.

Okay, I'll chip in.

-What? -I'll give you as much money as you need,

so leave first thing tomorrow.

But why would you…

Well, if that's what you want, then okay.

Lieutenant Choi.

Oh, my mistake.

I meant Mr. Choi.

-So you're putting up a fight. -Are you afraid?

If you wish to keep my mouth shut, leave Suhyeon alone.

I have cards up my sleeve too, you know.

Telling Chairman Kwon the truth?

That I'm actually an undercover cop?

Bring it on. Let's see who goes down first.

You're wrong.

I'm talking about the Special Investigations Headquarters.

What are you getting at?

That's the reason why you want me to leave.

They want to question me about how I found out about you.

A slip of the tongue, and I could put all of you in danger.

You're digging your own grave.

Are you begging to be killed tonight?

I met an ally.

Give me some time.

Are they willing to help you steal the Adamas this instant?

No.

I need their help with something else.

Ms. Kwon.

I said leave me alone.

Will you really not see him off today?

But you've never missed a day.

The chairman seems to be waiting for you.

He wanted you to have this, so drink up.

He wanted you to have this

because he knew you had a weak knee.

Here.

PREMIUM SUPPLEMENT FOR JOINT HEALTH

Gosh, this is pretty.

You're prettier, Hyesoo.

I bet there's no other assistant like me.

I could've just left like you told me to,

but I insisted on finishing my work first.

I'm such a professional.

Mr. Ha, I understand that memoirs are supposed to be sugarcoated,

but he's gone too far about his son's married life.

Rumor has it that it was a marriage of convenience,

and she was supposed to wed someone else. Why sugarcoat it into a love story?

We need to talk.

Sure. Dongrim.

Right. I'll be outside.

What is this? Is this a joke?

Certainly not. It's blackmail.

Like it says, I have the letter that you sent.

Do you remember that?

So what do you want from me?

I had asked for your help.

And I said no.

I can't help you steal the Adamas.

I never asked you to do that.

Is that so?

Then how can I help you?

There's a reason why you wrote me that letter.

Yes. I wanted you to reveal the truth.

You had nothing to do with the case from 22 years ago,

yet you wrote to me without asking for anything in return.

-That's unbelievable. -I don't care.

You know the real killer.

Who is it?

This is my answer.

If you want to threaten me, do it properly.

Are you setting a snare?

That's illegal.

Then report me.

You've been going into the woods often lately.

I think you're working overtime too.

Then you should be the new chief of security.

Maybe I should.

Goodbye, sir.

I knew it. There's something you haven't told me.

Well? I'm all ears.

Twenty-two years ago, a murder occurred in May.

Nice opening.

The culprit was caught and given the death sentence.

But the murder weapon disappeared.

It disappeared?

I believe it was the Adamas.

That's why I want to steal it.

I'll know for sure once it's collated with the autopsy results.

But why would you do that?

My father was the victim.

I see.

I get that, but I still have a question.

Why go through this trouble if the killer was caught?

The real killer is someone else.

Who do you think took the murder weapon?

This is intriguing.

The one who has the Adamas is the real killer or knows who it is.

Your ally must have the answer.

The answer is obvious.

Hold on.

May, 22 years ago?

Have a seat.

I prefer to stand.

Should I keep standing too?

It doesn't look infected.

It must've hurt a lot.

That's okay.

My body will be useless once I die. What's the point of cherishing it?

I admit that I was too worked up yesterday.

You were right.

There's something about the way he smiles.

He reminds me of Minjo.

Minjo took after his mom and had a bright smile.

It was soft too.

Mr. Ha exudes a similar aura.

That must've pulled at my heartstrings.

See? I know you, sir.

And yet, you were only upset with me and even hurt me.

Please understand me.

You've lost a child too.

We've experienced the same loss, so can't you empathize with me?

Of course I am grateful to have you.

I know you wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice yourself

to save me through thick and thin.

You're like my heart.

After all,

I owe you my life.

Come in.

Should I come back later?

It's okay. There's nothing you can't say in front of Ms. Kwon.

Master.

What is it?

I have something to tell you, sir.

BANKBOOK

CASE SUMMARY

There's no trace of resistance.

And I doubt the police made the bed.

Sleeping pills.

Jeez, did I startle you?

Mr. Gong, please.

Our colleagues do call me the assassin.

-Assassin, my foot. -I'm just joking.

What did the police say?

She was given sleeping pills and was smothered with a pillow.

How humane, right?

That's why they think the husband did it.

Look at how he got his accounts in order.

This is what people who are about to commit suicide do.

My expertise of ten years tells me that this is certainly a suicide case.

He didn't even scream while he was falling.

Sir, why are you digging into this case so much?

-Was he unconscious? -Sorry?

Hitting the ground head first must've covered up any head injuries.

The police have concluded it as suicide.

Mr. Gong, I will never commit suicide.

If the police claim that I killed myself, you'd better look into it.

Don't let me get cremated. Just bury my body.

An autopsy may be needed.

I prefer that too.

I'm too scared to get cremated.

Right. Did you get what I asked for?

Right. One second, sir.

Apparently, this brand is the best.

ARES WARNING EXTREME DANGER

-He's a prosecutor? -Yes, sir.

PERSONAL INFORMATION SONG SUHYEON

He's the prosecution's nuisance.

He doesn't hesitate to disobey his superiors if need be.

They can't touch him.

What a distinct character.

Seeing that he hasn't gotten sacked, he must be the ace.

The prosecutors' office is chaotic these days.

Those for and against the president are at each other's throats.

If we provoke him…

The likes of him don't sit still if we do.

And we happened to provoke him.

Gosh. This is going to be a nuisance.

Do you think he'll be suspicious?

Kim Wonjoong and his wife

committed suicide the very day he visited them.

If he's a competent prosecutor, I'm sure he feels something is off.

Then I'll come up with a scenario.

-Mr. Lee! -Yes?

-Mr. Jeong. -Yes, sir.

I may lose my position to you in the near future.

You can be the new team leader.

I'm sorry, sir.

Forget the scenario.

It'll obviously look fishy if Song Suhyeon dies as well.

Yes, sir.

-Did you call for me, sir? -Yes.

Keep an eye on Song Suhyeon.

Sorry?

He seems to be a hotshot.

So we should play on his level, don't you think?

Mr. Lee, can I entrust you with this task?

Of course, sir. I'm actually a natural at field work.

Sir, do you really think he'll be okay?

I don't think he's ready to--

You're really pressing my buttons today.

I'm sorry, sir.

He's just keeping an eye on him.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Seo.

This isn't right. He's not ready for this.

It's our team leader's command.

Still, he can't favor him just because they're brothers--

Say that again.

I'm sorry, sir.

What about the daughter? Did you follow up with her yet?

What is it?

I already gave my testimony yesterday.

You see…

It does look like your father committed suicide

after murdering your mother.

But personally speaking, I feel like his motive was too weak.

I heard your parents loved each other dearly.

Yes. They did.

But he did struggle a lot.

He had been taking care of her for the past 22 years.

So I understand the decision he made.

Ah.

I see.

He doesn't deserve to be buried with our ancestors after what he did.

It'll only bring bad luck.

Be quiet. Seohee can hear you.

Let's end this funeral service today.

Goodness, can you please stop?

Are you okay?

I told you not to come.

I thought it was only right to offer my condolences.

You know the real killer.

Who is it?

She's going to regret this.

What is that?

The chairman's interview notes.

I've organized them. You just need to show him and get his confirmation.

Thanks.

I'll get going then. I'm going to leave after a shower.

Okay.

It's so hard to leave you behind.

I should find you a good woman to marry.

You'll end up like Ms. Kwon.

Just leave.

Having no kids or a husband has turned her into a cranky lady.

Do you think she's ever dated anyone?

-Maybe a divorcée? -Go.

-Judging by her awful temper-- -Jeez.

Oh, my goodness!

Why are you so surprised to see me?

Because you barged in here.

I understand.

I just caught you bad-mouthing me.

Did you hear that?

By the way, have you ever dated before?

-What kind of nonsense is that? -I guess she has. Bye.

What brings you here?

It's nothing much.

I've been too harsh on you.

Are you apologizing to me?

You wish.

Our beef has only troubled the master.

Let's just put an end to this. You'll be leaving soon anyway.

Sure. I hope we get along during my remaining time here.

Your remaining time here?

All right. Sure.

Right.

Shouldn't you say your goodbyes?

-Goodbyes? -You haven't heard yet?

The chairman will be leaving.

I don't know what's gotten into Ms. Hyesoo but they'll be going on a trip together.

Hey.

We need to talk.

Not now. Later.

Right now.

Why did you bring me here? I'm a bit busy right now.

This helicopter is a peculiarity of Haesong.

It is the only group that is affiliated with the country's biggest arms dealer.

Were you aware of that?

If you're talking about ARES, I roughly know about it.

You're right.

They manufacture everything

from self-defense gadgets to military arms.

Thanks to that, this mansion has a cutting-edge security system.

All the employees have registered their physical characteristics.

Yes, I did as well.

It's more than just security measures. They can identify you.

We all have our own serial numbers.

They're watching us.

Our every single move.

From up there.

Do you get it?

Biometrics AI.

The eye in the sky.

They can see our every move.

And I'm no exception.

I'm so full.

That's Mr. Choi.

Who's that next to him?

Let me see their serial number.

It's Mr. Ha.

Does this mean you want to hop into the same boat with me?

You must be overly eager, seeing how you're getting ahead of yourself.

Then why tell me this?

You think Chairman Kwon is responsible for your father's murder, don't you?

What's your take?

He's a key suspect.

If the Adamas was the murder weapon, then its owner must be the suspect.

We have the same target. Chairman Kwon Jaekyu.

Don't be foolish.

Your father's death took place

before August of 2000,

before the statute of limitations for murder was abolished.

Simply put, the statute of limitations for his case has run out.

Chairman Kwon could confess to it

and still not get punished.

Yet you came here.

What are you scheming?

It hasn't run out yet.

-What? -The chairman was overseas for some time.

There are still 18 days left.

Do you want to know something else?

My father's case from 22 years ago was the only murder

that Lee Changwoo had ever committed.

Lee Changwoo.

Lee Changwoo and Chairman Kwon.

It's a fascinating combination.

The key to this case is their point of contact.

I think we can help each other out.

You want me to help you steal the Adamas

so you can compare it to the autopsy report?

If the murder weapon is a match, I can request a retrial.

What if it doesn't?

-Then-- -Then…

our team's project will fall through.

We're up against a much more powerful force than you think.

I can't help you merely based on a suspicion.

What exactly is this project?

You've been here for two years now but still haven't completed it.

-Isn't it right to give up? -Shut it.

Bring me proof that it's linked to Chairman Kwon.

If not, just leave

before I end your brother's life.

This is a taser.

Keep it with you just in case.

The precautions are written on the back.

Prosecutor Song.

Why are you doing this?

I understand.

I must look like a lunatic. But you see…

Your parents met untimely deaths

after I visited them.

You know very well that they wouldn't have committed suicide.

Then who could it have been?

Who could've killed them?

My father's killer…

murdered your parents too.

That's my conclusion.

It sounds too far-fetched.

The murderer watched my parents for the past 22 years

and only killed them because you visited them?

That's right.

-And you know that. -I do.

That's why I'm acting like this.

I'm afraid you'll die as well.

-Ms. Kim. -A detective visited me again today.

I told him that my parents committed suicide

in case their killer was watching me.

Well done. It's better to be safe than sorry.

So you should stop here as well.

Or you could be in serious peril.

I'm sorry for barging into your house.

But I'll take care of this from now on. Goodbye.

Ms. Kim Seohee.

You decided to dig into my father's case from 22 years ago

because you knew that your father gave false testimony.

You didn't turn a blind eye to it, and I won't either.

It's my turn now.

I will catch them no matter what.

So let's do this together.

I saw him.

You saw him? Who?

The man.

The man who killed your father.

Your father...

went into that house alone.

I definitely saw him.

Aren't you bored too?

When is Mom coming?

Don't you wish she'd get here quickly?

I was in the car as well.

Should we go see her?

-Dad. -Yes? What is it?

What is it, Seohee?

I'm the witness.

Song Suhyeon is speaking with Kim Seohee.

Hey.

Seeing how he came all the way here, I doubt he'll back away that easily.

He's desperate to get killed.

All right. Keep an eye on him for now.

Bye.

The victim's son has met with the witness' daughter.

I wonder how this will end.

What did Seohee say?

She seemed to believe that it was suicide.

I don't think there's anything to worry about.

Okay.

Then we just need to take care of the prosecutor.

Yes, sir.

-Good work. -Thank you, sir.

Mr. Ha.

He's not here. I was going to say goodbye.

He must've forgotten to check with the chairman.

Who will help him once I'm gone?

How is it going?

Hello, sir.

Aren't you Mr. Ha's pupil?

Yes, sir.

What were you doing in my office?

Come and go as you wish, and you'll be in a pickle.

The interview notes. I've organized them and put them on your desk.

We need your confirmation.

He must've been uninformed.

Sorry? What do you mean?

What exactly did your husband say again?

Have you gone crazy? Lower your voice.

"Lee Changwoo isn't the real killer, and the murder weapon was the Adamas."

Is that what he said?

All that I know was in that letter.

So that's all he said? Nothing about the killer?

-That's right. -You're lying.

You know who the killer is.

Isn't it obvious?

-I don't know. -Chairman Kwon.

It's him.

The owner of the Adamas.

I thought he was the real killer.

That's your reason?

If not, just say that I'm wrong.

Then I'll omit him from my list of suspects.

-I don't know anything. -You don't?

You're avoiding answering a simple yes-or-no question,

meaning you're deliberately hiding something.

And that means that you expected me to ask you this

and that you understand the question.

You know the truth.

Ms. Eun.

The way you address someone shows how close you are to them.

You've never addressed the chairman as Father.

You always address him as the chairman, and I sense animosity toward him.

You want him to get caught, don't you?

I don't know for sure if he was the killer or not.

But this is what my husband said.

"My father killed someone with the Adamas. And Lee Changwoo…

was the one who took the fall."

I knew it.

That's all I know.

The rest is up to you to find out, so leave me out of this.

I'm afraid I can't do that.

What do you mean?

I happen to need your help with something.

-I refuse. -Find out who recommended me.

It'll be easier for you to find out.

I need to know who it is to brace myself.

I need to know why I was called here. Right?

I said no.

I recorded everything

that you just said.

I wonder what the chairman will think of this.

Start unpacking.

Do you think you can stop him?

Go to his office.

That's where the bomb will go off.

Yes, Hyunjo.

Ms. Yoon told me.

This is an extremely important matter.

Make sure this information doesn't leak.

I'll stop by your office soon.

There's something I need to tell you as well.

Yes, Father.

Bye.

I'm sorry.

It was rude of me to keep you waiting.

No, sir. Not at all.

How are you feeling?

My boys were a bit harsh, right?

Jeez, that must've really hurt.

It's all my fault, sir.

I'm deeply reflecting on myself.

This is how my father is.

If he senses arrogance in someone, he doesn't hesitate to crush them.

What can you do?

Please understand, okay?

Yes, sir. Of course.

What were we talking about again?

Right. It was about ARES laying a golden egg--

Yes, I remember now.

Keep reading page seven.

Yes, sir.

"As for the United States--"

No, no, no.

Just with your eyes.

I see. Yes, sir.

Listen to me as you read that.

Those are your top priorities once you become President.

You'll be quite busy assisting Haesong for the next five years.

You'd better brace yourself.

Yes, sir.

But how did you come up with such ideas?

You're incredibly revolutionary.

And we'll be together throughout the revolution.

Here's to the beginning of your reign!

I don't understand, sir.

You're pulling the plug on your memoir?

Hyesoo wanted to fly out to our villa in Venice.

She's going to stay there this summer.

That was when I was reminded of my late son.

He sure loved that place.

So I'm thinking about making a trip there myself.

In that case,

we'll resume the memoir after you return from your trip.

I'm afraid it won't be anytime soon.

Maybe next year.

I'm sad too.

I was counting down the days until I could read my memoir.

Sir.

Am I the problem?

No.

The presidential election would be over by the time I return from Venice.

I'll be too busy with work.

There's something I've always considered as my life's work.

I need to complete it.

It can't be helped. Please do understand.

Pack enough water kimchi and soy sauce marinated crab.

He must eat well even when he's abroad.

Yes, ma'am.

I guess we're parting ways already.

It's so sad to say goodbye.

Mr. Ha?

You haven't left?

I wanted to say goodbye before leaving.

Is something wrong?

The chairman is pulling the plug on the memoir.

Does that mean I'll only get paid half the amount?

No, I'll give you the full amount.

You need it for your father's surgery.

Thank you.

The chairman must be very busy.

I heard he's preparing a new business.

A new business?

Who said that?

Ms. Yoon.

I didn't know she was deaf.

But I know sign language because of my dad.

How is it going?

Hwang Byungchul from New Future Party

and Haesong must be doing something.

That geezer promised to provide the police with arms if he becomes President.

Automatic pistols.

-Are you sure? -I was there.

Automatic pistols?

Does that mean they'll get rid of blank ammunition?

Strengthening governmental power?

But why Haesong?

This is a peculiarity of Haesong.

It is the only group that is affiliated with the country's biggest arms dealer.

There's something I've always considered as my life's work.

I need to complete it.

Weapons business.

You're right. He's planning to slowly make firearms accessible to all.

Isn't that crazy?

Everyone will purchase one for themselves.

Everyone is so hot-tempered so massacres are just waiting to happen.

I bet you'll buy one too and shoot me.

He's not listening. He never listens.

Bye.

What should we do?

That was supposed to be confidential.

Well, I wasn't trying to spy on you.

I just saw you two.

And I happen to know sign language.

I'm sorry, sir.

It's okay, Dongrim.

We still told him even though you found out accidentally.

By the way, shouldn't you get going now?

Right.

Sir, thank you for everything.

We'll be on our way then.

No.

This isn't something to brush off that easily.

Sorry?

You found out about Haesong supporting Candidate Hwang

and the firearms.

If word gets out, this will critically affect the election.

It'll be irreparable.

You don't need to worry about that. We will both be tight-lipped about it.

Yes, sir. I promise.

You promise?

How naive.

Verbal promises

are only valid among friends.

Then what would you like us to do?

Knowing too much is a sin.

I'm still thinking…

about what to do with you.

I'm afraid you'll have to die.

I'm just joking.

Let's do this.

You are forbidden from leaving this house

until the presidential election is over.

"I'm afraid you'll have to die."

Gosh, I almost peed my pants.

How could he say such a frightening thing in a sophisticated manner?

He should've just sworn at us. That was terrifying.

Anyway, you heard him, right?

We can only leave once the election comes to an end.

So don't tell me to go home anymore.

I can't even if I want to.

What should I do with him?

Do I know you?

You haven't called once, so I thought you were dead.

I called you yesterday.

You did? Oh, was that you?

I didn't recognize the number, so I thought it was a spam call.

Where in the world are you?

Are you having that much fun?

It's pretty much heaven here.

I should keep traveling until the day I die.

How are you?

Is this really you?

You're asking me how I'm doing?

By the way, you know what?

Never mind.

I'm busy. Bye.

How did it go?

It's finished, sir.

Thank you.

-Are you in? -Police.

Honey.

Seohee, do you remember what I told you?

You didn't see anything that night, okay?

Okay.

Good. What a good girl.

Dad.

That's him.

He's the man I saw that day.

When the police came to our house,

my dad told them that he was the one who saw him.

He probably did that to protect you.

What's our next move?

I know someone...

who might know this man.

I'm at the funeral home.

That reporter's parents passed away.

Sir.

Are you sure? Someone's tailing Song Suhyeon?

It's them.

You're not going on that trip?

No, it just turned out that way.

I don't see the need to do that, sir.

What can I do?

It's not like I can bury Mr. Ha and his pupil somewhere.

I'll have to keep them here until the election is over.

In the meantime,

I can finish my memoir.

How dare you?

What gives you the right?

How dare you control my master?

That little scumbag!

I ought to kill him!

That rat deserves to die!

"The letter you sent me."

What did you say?

Did you know that they are aiming to legalize firearms?

What are you?

How much do you know?

Once Candidate Hwang gets elected, they'll begin that project.

You'll have to complete your mission before the election,

but you're running out of time.

I won't let that happen. We'll stop him at all costs.

Of course you should.

That's why we should make our move on Chairman Kwon.

Do you think it'll all be over once you catch him?

What did he do? What can you prove?

Do you think the police and the prosecution failed to catch him

because we were incompetent?

I see. So that's your conclusion? You can't catch him?

Don't be reckless.

You don't know Haesong's true face.

Legalizing firearms?

That's a cakewalk for them.

They've won over the media and politics already.

Their only hurdle is public opinion.

Haesong will do everything they can to win over the public.

They won't hesitate to subject our society to chaos.

They'll make it necessary for civilians

to carry a gun to the grocery store.

What is it? Do you find it hard to believe?

Not at all. This is all possible for those bastards.

Bastards?

It's not just Chairman Kwon?

The chairman doesn't get blood on his own hands.

He unleashes his hounds.

If we fail to catch those bastards,

we'll never get to the chairman.

So that's why you've gone undercover.

This is why you've been trying to win their trust.

This is the two-year-long project that you've been carrying out.

Mr. Choi, you're trying to get into that team, aren't you?

Team A.

Haesong's professional troubleshooters.

No one ever survived.

A civilian like you should back off. You could easily get killed.

Team A.

We need to get to them to eventually catch the chairman

since the latter doesn't get his hands dirty.

But my father's case is different.

It's directly linked to the chairman.

-What's your proof? -I have none.

However…

someone did testify.

I don't know for sure if he was the killer or not.

But this is what my husband said.

Eun Hyesoo?

"My father killed someone with the Adamas.

And Lee Changwoo was the one who took the fall."

So what if he's a prosecutor? I'm not at his beck and call.

I'm Prosecutor Song Suhyeon from the Central District Prosecutors' Office.

Hello, sir.

Why did you want to see me?

I need your help, Mr. Lee.

My help?

Let's see.

I'm working on a case.

And I think you may recognize the suspect.

That's strange. I've cut ties with society after being incarcerated.

It's this man.

Do you recognize him?

No, I don't.

You don't?

No, sir.

Then do you recognize me? We've met before.

I'm not sure.

I don't quite remember.

Twenty-two years is a long time.

But the memory is still vivid for me.

You killed my father.

It's good to see you again.

-Let's go! -They're coming out!

-Did you act alone? -Let's go.

What was the motive for your murder?

Please tell us your motive!

You murderer! Remember my face!

Because I'll make you pay!

Get him away from here!

You murderer!

All right.

Let's get back to the subject.

Who is this?

I don't know.

Then I'll change the question.

Who took the murder weapon?

Why would you ask me that?

You don't know that either?

I don't. I really don't know.

Are you sure he didn't take it?

No, sir. I don't know him.

This case occurred 22 years ago, and I already confessed to it.

It was a false confession.

Why would I…

do that?

Because you wanted to protect this bastard!

Damn it!

Because he was an accomplice!

You must've forgotten…

SECURITY CONTROL ROOM

…that you threatened me.

I should go into the tiger's den if I want to catch it.

I refuse to tremble in fear, not knowing who it is.

I'll reveal everything you're hiding one by one.

You should hurry if you want to catch the real killer.

A composite sketch artist? It was the daughter.

All right, let's do this.

I'm going to start a fire today.
