Fire... Fire.

Fire!

Fire! Fire...

Wait.

Wait. Please.

You want to report me?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Mr. Nam.

Please forgive me.

I won't say anything.

I swear.

Look at me. I said look at me.

Bang.

- Make sure he's not found.
- Yes, sir.

No. Please.

I'm begging you, Mr. Nam.

Don't kill me. No.

Help. Please.

(Daesan Real Estate)

You mean here? This land?

Yes.

It's close to the city.

Why do you want to sell
Cheongju land in Seoul?

I thought it'd be easier.

I'm not sure if people
in Seoul will be interested.

It doesn't have any favorable.

How much would you sell it for
per 3.3 square meter?

- 150 dollars.
- That's so cheap.

Because it's in the countryside--

It's not. It's still a city.

That was the price 10 years ago
not because it's the countryside.

And it'll be redeveloped soon.

Redeveloped?

I have a friend in Cheongju,

but I haven't heard that yet.

If you know it'll be redeveloped,

why are you selling it
for the price 10 years ago?

If you keep it
and build a building,

you'll soon be a landlord.

You mean it'll be hard to sell
in Seoul?

You should just build a building.

I see that it's close
to downtown Cheongju.

Even a small building will
get you a few million easily.

Not anyone can build a building.

People get a loan to do it.

No one builds it
with their own money.

I'm saying this
because it's a shame.

If it really is getting
redeveloped, it's a jackpot.

You're right.

I guess you're not interested
in money.

Bye.

What are you doing?

Same old same old.

Hey, is that place
getting redeveloped?

How big?

That poor old man won't sell
his house.

That project is worth
hundreds of millions.

What if that one site
causes a big damage?

Sir. Wait.

I'll buy that land. Sell it to me.

Did he say it was close
to the diner?

What if I hold out
like Happiness Diner?

No, why bother holding out?

If I retire and become
a landlord in Cheongju,

people will cuss at me, right?

People I know will blame me
so much.

That they'd seen that in me.

Why am I getting thirsty?

Iced Americano, please.

I can move out of Cheongju.

I'll visit there from time to time
for the rent.

No.

By then, no one will know me.

The rest of my life
wouldn't be so different.

If I keep falling behind
and end up becoming a lawyer,

I'll have to leave home before
sunrise and work past midnight.

And that's only if I do well.

How long do I have to live
like this for?

Tell him that I sent you.

Beg him with your all.

Whether you go on your knees
or cry your heart out.

It costs you nothing,
and it's not illegal.

Then
you'll never have to see me again.

I doubt it.

He'll cling to me
till the day he dies.

The moment I don't give up
on the land,

I'm stuck with CEO Nam for good.

In the end,

it's about crawling
under CEO Nam's legs

or retire
as a corrupted prosecutor

at loose ends,

isn't it?

What lame options.

It's not like I could ask anyone.

I wish I could ask
a fortuneteller.

(Jaheo Law Office)

Why do I look so puffy?

Long time no see.

How have you been, sir?

You haven't changed.

You look fairer.

How did you decide to reach me?

If I called you as much as I cared
about you, I'd call you every day.

I held back because I knew
you were busy.

That hasn't changed either.

- You must be busy.
- I am.

My wife is happy

that her husband makes a lot

without coming home.

You haven't changed either, sir.

I guess it wasn't the worst.

Pardon me?

I heard you were attacked
by a serial killer.

Oh.

Did my gossip reach Seoul already?

Be careful.

Your body isn't made of rocks.

You're old enough to know
how to stay safe.

Hey, Seo Dong-jae.

My bad, sir.

Stop calling me sir.

Just call me by my name.

Yes, thank you.

Kang.

I'm not just

old enough to know
how to stay safe.

I'm old enough to be a senior
prosecutor, but I'm not.

As you already know,

I was frustrated

with my future.

Then for some reason,

you came to my mind.

Are you quitting?

I'm sure you're probably
aware of it already.

To be honest,

I'm getting fired, not quitting.

I see.

Should I run a business?

Do you have anything in mind?

How about commercial leases?

Commercial leases?

I'm not saying I have a building
right now.

If I start with something small...

Would I look funny
if I were to do that?

Do you want to work here?

- Pardon me?
- Join my law firm.

Don't think
about doing anything stupid.

But...

Are you sure about that?

Why are you asking me that?

I mean,

what happened in the past is
back to the surface.

The reason I was interrogated
in 2017.

If you recommend me,

people in your law office
might ask me questions.

Do you have anything new?

No, nothing new.

People like to keep bringing back
what happened in the past.

Come here. I'll tell my office.

- Just like this?
- What else do we need?

Every prosecutor
in your department

has all the reasons to join
this law firm.

Call me if you make up your mind.

Yes, I promise to call you.

But you have to be ready.
This place isn't so easy either.

Yes.

Prosecutor Seo Dong-jae.

On the verge of being fired

and being fired for real
are completely different.

Don't test your luck forever.

Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

I was almost ashamed.

Right.

I can handle anything but that.

Cap, you need to watch this.

What now?

This is the surveillance camera
footage from the bar yesterday.

I thought there was nothing
aside from smashing the place.

This was filmed
just before the violent attack.

Wait.

Right? From Happiness Diner?

Seo... What was his name again?

Seo Dong-jae.

Who did he meet?
Do we have that too?

Wait.

Isn't that him?

Yes, Nam Wan-seong
from Ehong Construction.

They've met,

but only for 5 minutes.

In the hostess bar.

We could nitpick at him
with this if we try.

Any idea on how to take advantage
of him?

But he has nothing to do with us.

Still, with prosecutors'
current attitude,

we have no excuse
to summon Choi Geum-ho.

We need to find an excuse
to get a warrant and search him.

- Yes.
- Yes, captain.

Hello, teacher.

Gosh, Yu-ri?

Did she skip school again
yesterday?

Yes.

I'm sorry. I didn't see her
this morning either.

I'll call you back. Thank you.

Seriously, that brat.

(My daughter)

7, 8...

(Dad)

6,000.

7,000.

8,000.

600.

(You have a new message)

Heard you got
the whole bag stolen.

Gosh.

Who dared to get their hands
on your stuff?

You should've told me.

Then I wouldn't have wasted
my energy.

I'll pay for the repair.

Whatever.

Better spend that to pay
for your boys' lives.

On the funeral cost of jerks
who were in my place last night.

So,

I'm going to retrieve my stuff,

handle those who stole it,
and settle it once and for all.

After settling it,

I'll join hands with you again.

I'll give you the whole bag.

Before that,

you better handle the jerks

who bruised my vice president.

Thank you, Geum-ho.

What did he say?

What did Mr. Kang say?

Oh, he's working on it.

He said he'd send it
as soon as possible.

He must be running short in Seoul.

He's not giving me a firm answer.

What about the kids?

I have them waiting already.

Hello, boss.

This way.

They offered to pay multifold,

but they haven't received
any response either.

Where did you get the purple?

You prick.

You went to pick it up.
Where did you pick it up?

Oh, I just went alone--

The place.

The fire hydrant in the first
floor of Lucky Building.

You?

The water tank
in Sinsung Apartment rooftop.

You?

I got it from the first floor
of Namil Villa.

He noticed it.

Who noticed what?

The fire hydrant. Villa.

That's the places we heard
from the other loonies.

Right? Nothing new, huh?

The thief noticed it.

If the thief went off the grid
as soon as we found

where he made deals,

he noticed we were watching him.

You prick.

Stop right there.

Damn it.

Who got busted?

Still, keep your eye on them.

Of course.

I keep messaging him
to make a deal,

and I'll check on the boys
on watch.

You should go watch
my adorable nephew.

You should come see him
by the day after tomorrow.

Yes.

Damn, I can't see his face.

He covered it so tightly.

Stop right there.

You brat. Stop right there.

Get back here.

Hey.

I should've caught him then.

(Dong-pal)

Jesus. He scared me.

Hello?

Now is not a good time. I will...

No, that's not it.

Avoid you? Why would I...

Yes, I'll meet you there.

Yes.

What a pain in the ass.

So

does that prove

I wasn't lying?

Won is the one you sell it to?

- The stuff you get from Seoul?
- Yes.

If they made a fuss over the stuff
that we didn't even have,

it provides crucial evidence
that I didn't bail them

on purpose, right?

Why are you telling me that now?

You should've told me about
Won's clique in the first place.

Are you really going to
arrest them all?

What's the name of your dealer
from Seoul?

Mr. Kang.

Does he make it at home
or something?

What's taking so long
to make those tiny pills?

Because he also receives supplies.

That's why he's not called
a professor.

What does that mean?
Who makes it then?

If we'd known,
we would've visited him already.

To demand supplies immediately.

'Look, old man.'

'Cheongju's economy is stuck
because of you.'

So when is this Mr. Kang
providing the supplies?

When will you get Choi Geum-ho
ready for me?

We won't know until we get it.

Prosecutor Jo.

When you're in the act,

you must arrest him at once.

Because my brother-in-law

never gives a second chance.

Why are you so desperate
to go after your brother-in-law?

Because I feel bad for my sister.

She had to marry that scumbag.

You're not any different from him.

Nothing shows that
the vice president sneaked

the stuff behind your back.

Keep your eye on him.

Yes, boss.

Sit down.

So? Do you like it here?

Of course.

You got me the most expensive
postpartum center.

What is it?

I can't get the hospital band
off my wrist.

Let me.

Chan-hyuk's on a business trip
for so long.

What? Miss your brother?

Miss him?
Who misses their brothers?

What?

- What about me?
- What about you?

Did you miss me?

You're always next to me,

so I don't miss you,

but don't make me miss you.

Okay. I'll be by your side
until you get sick of me.

You're always busy.

Excuse me.

(Mr. Kang)

Hello?

What?

Gosh.

Answer my phone.

Cap.

I'm going home for a sec.

About the hostess bar
search warrant.

What? Was it declined again?

- I was told to redeem it.
- We should,

but we can't redeem it
without the warrant.

Damn it.
Nothing's in my favor today.

Cap.

What now?

Prosecutor Seo visited
the hostess bar,

and he met the CEO
of Ehong in there.

Then I saw Ehong's CEO visiting
Lee Kyung-hak.

I checked the visitor's name
just in case,

and it was Nam Wan-seong
just as I thought.

I think there's a connection
between the three

or maybe not.

What did they talk about
during the visit?

They were accompanied by a lawyer.
It wasn't recorded.

Are you going home?

On my way to get the warrant.

Good luck with that.

Come in.

The consultation was encouraging.

We'll soon see a visible result.

I'm here to deliver that news.

What do you mean by soon?

Really soon.

- Please make that happen by now.
- Yes, boss.

Before the new type of drug
spreads in the country,

let's tell the whole country

that we the criminal department
rooted it out.

So we can have it twice
from our team.

Have what twice?

(Prosecutor General)

(2023 Model Prosecutor,
Prosecutor Seo Dong-jae)

Model Prosecutor?

Didn't you have anyone better--

I know. You should've rushed.

- Then you wouldn't have lost it.
- Lose what?

I'd lose that to Seo Dong-jae
of all people...

I mean, Mr. Seo?

Why don't you call me by my name?

I wouldn't dare to.

If I do that, you can call me
Jo Bum-gun

instead of Jo Byung-gun.

What about Choi Geum-ho's
hostess bar?

I ordered to wrap it up
by arresting the ones

who got caught in the act.

Thank you.

What did Seo Dong-jae do?

If she's going to give it to him,
give it to everyone.

We all worked together. Damn it.

Hey, Prosecutor Kim.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Me?

I was passing by.

Whether you were passing by
or walking by,

say hi if you saw me.

I already did this morning.

Do I need to say hi
every time I see you?

Hey.

Hey.

You can't park here.

Hey.

(Ehong Construction)

My boss just left.

(Prosecution Service)

Oh, you're back.

- Are you out of the hospital?
- How are you feeling?

You're off until tomorrow.
You should've taken a rest.

Come in.

Is it urgent?

The senior prosecutor wanted
to see you

when you return to the office.

Shoot.

But you're off until tomorrow.

I think she can wait
until tomorrow.

Okay.

- Hey, Sung Si-woon.
- Yes?

Get me all the cases

related to Ehong Construction.

They had a casualty issue
February last year,

but they weren't prosecuted.

They were prosecuted this year
for a case,

but the witness was suspended.

The witness was suspended?

Did I do that in my office?

No, it was Prosecutor Kim Ji-hee.

- Prosecutor Kim?
- Yes.

Ehong Construction sounded
familiar, so when I looked it up,

there were many cases
in the past few years.

- Do you want everything?
- Yes.

If it's a case, does it have
CEO Nam Wan-seong's address too?

- I'll find it for you.
- Thanks.

You must've been busy
while I was away.

Yes.

Huh? Really?

Remember
the land sales cancellation

due to a mistake

and the land purchase
through a fraud?

Where was that again?

- Mooncheon-dong.
- Yes.

Get me all the land sales
contract cancellation

including them.

- Yes, sir.
- Thank you.

You must've been busy
while I was away.

Oh, no, sir. Not at all.

You were injured.

I was worried about you.
I'm glad you're back safe.

See that, Sung Si-woon?

Recognize the difference?

That the investigator was
closer to the fact?

What?

Are you saying that I lied?

You've been working
all night long.

And the investigator
was worried about you a lot.

What...

I was worried about you a lot too.

Once things settle,

I'll take you out for dinner!

How could you say that?

He asked me about the difference
between you two.

Gosh, we'll end up having dinner.

What?

Why would people be worried

about work?

A hostess bar isn't
a sacred place.

How many times do I need to apply
for a warrant

to search a small town's bar?

I know. Why do they keep
sending it back?

I've been asking to approve it.

But why does the judge
keep declining it?

We did everything we could

in the scene that day.

Perhaps that's why.

You arrested everyone you could
in the scene.

Maybe the judge thought
it wasn't necessary anymore?

Or are you worried

that you'll be in trouble
if we keep digging in deeper?

Why would we be in trouble?

What did a prosecutor do

after meeting Cheongju's
wealthiest man in a hostess bar?

Are you urging me to submit
the report

for that footage?

The one
with his face recorded clearly?

Is that it?

- Who?
- Prosecutor Seo Dong-jae.

Come in.

You recovered faster
than expected.

How do you feel?

I'm all good now.

Is this what you call
a blessing in disguise?

I was injured already.

To make it a blessing in disguise,
it's time for a good occasion.

But I have nothing to celebrate.

Says who?

Congratulations.

For me?

Out of 19 recommended people
in the whole country,

only 3 were selected.

You sacrificed yourself

to resolve a longterm
unsolved murder.

You deserve to be
a model prosecutor.

And it was me who recommended you.

The chief deputy prosecutor will
reward you in the supreme office.

The supreme office?
The chief deputy prosecutor?

Prepare your speech.

You'll have an interview
after the award.

Thank you, boss.

I'll do my best.

You're already doing your best.

Come with me,
Mr. Model Prosecutor.

Yes, boss.

- Prosecutor Seo.
- Yes?

You need to leave that here.

Oh, my bad.

Let's go.

(Prosecution Service)

Mr. Seo.

Is Mr. Seo not here?

He's not.

My goodness.

There he is.

- Mr. Seo.
- Yes?

The cap has a question for you.

Hello.

Hello.

Long time no see.

You have questions
for Prosecutor Seo?

I saw Prosecutor Seo
in the surveillance camera footage

of Yulryang-dong hostess bar
the night the fight occurred.

You met someone there that day.

Mr. Seo, since when did you keep
in touch with CEO Nam of Ehong?

What are you? A magnet?

Why do regional wealth
like you so much?

If you've seen
the surveillance camera footage,

you know that I wasn't there
for a long time.

- Yes.
- Then what do you want to know?

He's curious because he's a cop.

If you weren't going to stay
that long, why did you meet him

in a hostess bar?

You know CEO Nam is
full of issues.

Do you meet him often?

How did I meet Ms. Jeon?

By paying her!

No, boss.

Is that when you met him?

What do you know about this?
Get back in the office.

CEO Nam Wan-seong
of Ehong Construction

sent Prosecutor Seo $200.

Tell me the whole story.

Someone sent fruit and $200
to his ward.

I took it without a clue,

so he returned it to CEO Nam
on my behalf.

Prosecutor Seo told him to wait.

I guess CEO Nam was
in the hostess bar at the time.

Yes.

Did you return the money?

I threw the envelope at him.

Then it'd take less than 5
minutes. That makes sense now.

Why did you want to ask that?

Well, actually

you know Lee Kyung-hak
from Happiness Diner?

CEO Nam visited him.

You arrested Lee Kyung-hak.

Well, some say otherwise.

You met CEO Nam

right after he visited
Lee Kyung-hak.

I wondered if you heard anything
about what he said

during the visit by any chance.

Didn't you record it?

He was with his lawyer.

- Know anything?
- Nope.

I didn't talk to CEO Nam
about anything

and told him to keep
that chicken feed to himself.

- That's what he says.
- Yes.

I see.

You were almost mistaken.

I got you cleared, right?

Bye now.

Bye.

- Bye now.
- Goodbye.

The address you asked for.

Jo Byung-gun!

I've emailed you all the cases

that involved Ehong Construction
down to 2020.

I'll look for anything before that

from now on.

Okay.

Thanks.

Shoot. Why is the wall so high?

Shoot.

Boyfriend?

Off to the bowling alley?

How's her wound?

Is she okay now?

Who are you?

Wait. What was your name again?
Nam...

Nam...

Nam...

Is your dad home?

No.

He said he was.

No, he's not home yet.

Are you really
CEO Nam Wan-seong's son?

Your dad is home.

No one's home.

Is it true?

I don't know.

Both the adult or the kid
in this family...

Damn it.

I can't see anything.

(Mr. Seo Dong-jae)

Yes, Mr. Seo.

Prosecutor Kim, remember Nam
Wan-seong from Ehong Construction?

Of course.

Why was the witness suspended?

The witness went missing.

The key witness suddenly
went missing

and hasn't been found yet.

What's it about?

Where are you? At work?

Outside.

Can I tell you tomorrow?

Sure.

(Witness suspended)

(Boss)

Yes, boss.

Yes.

No, I'm on my way to the dorm...

Gun death?

Now? Me?

Okay. I'm on my way. Yes.

Is this Texas or what?

Gun death?

Why would she give me that case?

Where is it?

Thank you for your work.

Thank you for your work.

Geez.
