All language subtitles for Again My Life S01E08 - The Real Culprit (Awafim.tv)

(Suspect Calmly Denies All Charges)

Good morning.

(Episode 8)

The public is furious.

"College Girl Murder" is topping all search engine rankings.

All eyes are on the despicable murderer.

Is Prosecutor Jang Il Hyun in charge of this case?

Yes, sir.

He stood out among his peers even when he was a rookie.

He's good.

Call Kim Seok Hoon.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

I'll let Prosecutor Jang know.

Right, sure.

Take care.

No!

I told you that it wasn't me!

(Prosecution Service)

Intermittent explosive disorder.

You think I have a mental disorder because I'm yelling?

It's what the psychiatrist thinks.

And it's evidence that I killed her?

You and your girlfriend fought often.

Every time you fought, you verbally abused her.

You even threw things at her and caused a ruckus, which led...

to an argument with your neighbour too.

I already told you all about that.

- Could you please believe me...
- Even that day,

you and your girlfriend fought again.

You lost it and stabbed her in the heat of the moment.

Spur-of-the-moment murders are very simple.

The stabber is the only one who feels conflicted and confused.

Please hear me out!

Hey.

I'm not sitting here now to listen to a scumbag like you.

How dare you raise your voice at me?

Mark my words.

I'll get you the heaviest sentence possible.

Do you know who makes judgement calls these days?

The public and their opinion.

You.

You're doomed.

(Prosecution Service)

Yes, Jang Il Hyun speaking.

Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub is closely watching this case.

Keep me in the loop on everything, no matter how small.

Make sure we don't hear a single word...

about Mirae Electronics in the media.

Yes, I'll come up with more attention-grabbing headlines.

Thank you, sir.

Looks like we should pick up the pace.

I heard Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub is closely watching this case.

(Interview Room)

Talk about perfect timing.

I must say, I've done pretty well.

If I move up, it will only benefit you. You know?

Yes. Thank you, sir.

This punk. I was just thinking I should give him a call.

Hey, Reporter Park.

This evening? Okay!

Yes. I actually wanted to talk to you about something.

You're due for a promotion.

I never give you useless info.

- You're here, sir.
- Yes.

Why did you want to meet?

I'm after Jang Il Hyun.

Jang Il Hyun?

What's going on? Your eyes are shining with determination again.

Gosh, here we go again.

It's wrong...

to accuse an innocent person of murder just to get a promotion.

It's just not right, you know?

Right. That explains why you're after him. But how will you do it?

- A bribed prosecutor.
- Okay, you got my attention.

But if that's all we've got,

it won't be as big as you want it to be.

Chief Kim Seok Hoon has got his back.

And I bet Chief Kim is backed by someone who's very powerful.

My pride would be hurt if I had to hesitate because of that.

Let's stack the deck just like we did in Gimsan.

Stack the deck?

Correct.

Jang Il Hyun is dating Sung Jin Mi.

Come on. They're dating, so what?

First, we're going to make sure the media is all over it.

Hey, I'm not an entertainment reporter.

Hey, what are friends for?

Your colleagues will buy you dinner if you show them those photos.

Okay.

Then you'll have to buy me drinks.

Pianist Sung Jin Mi, who is also...

the chairwoman of the National University Arts Foundation...

- is in love.
- Isn't that Mr. Jang?

He's dating her? For real?

- Is that Mr. Jang?
- They met at an event...

- and are officially dating now.
- Ms. Choi, look.

- Oh, there he is.
- We wish them all the best.

I can't believe he's dating her.

Prosecutor Jang, I heard you're seeing someone these days.

Make sure you eat some chives.

Why should I eat chives?

Do some squats, you idiot.

(Pianist Sung Jin Mi, in Love with Prosecutor)

She's frequently mentioned in the media.

You can date,

but you should be careful if you're seeing someone like her.

I'll do my best to offset the disadvantages...

of dating someone like her.

Are there advantages?

Yes, we have a very functional relationship in terms of...

You know what I'm talking about.

Yes. A prosecutor and an artist.

Not a bad combination.

Congratulations.

- Thank you, sir.
- Good for you.

Really? The chief congratulated us?

Yes, that's right.

Then all their corrupt deeds will come out in the open at once,

and all eyes will be on them.

If that happens, even Kim Seok Hoon and his higher-ups...

will struggle to cover it up.

Before that, I need you to take care of Sung Jin Mi...

at the National University Arts Foundation.

What's this?

It contains the foundation's admission list...

and detailed info on the assets and properties...

that Sung Jin Mi and the foundation own.

I need you to go through them.

(Land, Building, Savings Account, Membership)

Gosh, this is nuts.

Admissions bribery, tax evasion, and embezzlement.

Do you think we can pull this off?

Corruption in education is an ongoing issue.

Besides, Sung Jin Mi is a big spender,

and she travels abroad often.

It's very likely that she's spending the foundation's money like her own.

Good point. I think we can definitely pull this off.

Okay, I got this.

(Division Chief Jeon Seok Kyu)

Sir.

(List of Sung Jin Mi's Assets)

Well done.

Sir, please take care of Jang Il Hyun's bribery case.

Okay. I'll also use the evidence I've collected.

I'll focus on the investigation that he's leading.

The college girl murder?

Yes. No one should suffer unjustly...

because of a prosecutor like Jang Il Hyun.

(Prosecution Service)

You were questioned all day. I'm sorry I called you in again.

It's okay.

You didn't kill her, right?

You said it wasn't you.

Right?

Yes. It wasn't me.

We had a big fight.

I got angry, so I walked away for a moment. That was when...

If I stayed with her, she'd still be alive.

How far did you go?

I exited that alley and walked all the way to the main road.

I had a smoke to cool off and went back.

Given the distance, it probably took less than five minutes.

That's right.

You were still close by. Did you not hear her scream?

No. I heard nothing.

This was where she was stabbed?

Mr. Lee Ju Seok.

Yes.

Do you remember where her stab wounds were located?

Her neck, chest,

back, side, and stomach.

There were so many.

And you didn't hear her scream?

No.

Then we know where she was stabbed first.

The lungs.

Do you think you can see the wounds...

on her body?

Yes.

Gosh...

Which one caused damage to the lungs?

You're a med student, so you must know.

This one.

The one on the back caused damage to the lungs.

Then we can assume that she was attacked from behind.

It means that Sun Hee couldn't even scream.

If you're stabbed in the lungs, you can't scream.

It must've been so painful.

It's my fault.

It's all my fault.

Mr. Lee.

Yes.

We need evidence that you weren't there at that moment.

Try to remember what you saw, no matter how insignificant.

Well...

I'm not sure if this will be helpful.

What is it? Tell me.

When I was walking along the main road,

an idol singer's fan signing event was taking place.

I walked by them,

so maybe I was caught on camera.

Okay. I'll check the security cameras in the area.

One more thing.

Don't tell Prosecutor Jang that I was here.

I won't.

Wait, Prosecutor.

Are you going to help me?

I don't care what happens to me.

The guilt...

will haunt me for the rest of my life anyway.

But the scumbag who killed Sun Hee...

We must catch him.

I should at least do that much for her.

That's what I do.

The thing is, I'm not here because I believe you.

At the moment, I don't know who did it.

However, I will catch...

the real culprit.

Well...

I hope you like this kind of food.

I just eat to fill my stomach.

Nothing tastes good when you're stuck in a place like this.

My apologies, sir.

You must be uncomfortable here. Please give me a little more time.

And don't hesitate to let me know if you need anything.

Goodness. What is all this?

Are you having a picnic here or what?

- What did you say?
- Sir, this is my case.

Chief Kim asked me to take over.

- You're out.
- Sir.

Even kids won't lick someone else's lollipop all over to steal it.

Right, Mr. Jeon Il Bo?

Let's talk outside.

Sure.

Right.

Mr. Jeon, I'll see you soon.

You idiot. Think, will you?

Think about what?

Don't you get it? If he ends up behind bars,

the economy will take a hit. Haven't you thought about that?

Why should prosecutors worry about the economy?

Transfer to the Ministry of Economy and Finance if you're that worried.

What? You little...

What are you doing?

A brave prosecutor who fights to eradicate injustice.

A warmhearted prosecutor who cares for the weak and the marginalized.

A fair prosecutor who only follows the truth.

An upright prosecutor who is tougher on himself.

What kind of prosecutor are you, sir?

I know for a fact that I'm not a crazy prosecutor like you.

You lunatic.

Have a good day, sir.

You fool. Stop causing trouble, will you?

Hey, Kang Jin.

No trouble, no fun.

Min Soo.

- It's fine.
- Lee Min Soo.

I said, it's fine.

- I'll help you.
- With what?

You're a free spirit.

- So?
- Go to Gimsan.

There's a vacant position now that Hee Woo and his minions are here.

I'll get you transferred there.

That much power, I have.

In Gimsan, you can go fishing whenever you want and be free.

My, Gimsan is nice.

You don't need to thank me.

I'll go to Gimsan,

and you'll end up in jail.

Write me a letter to thank me for giving you time to self-reflect.

Come on. I was just joking.

How could I send you to jail, Prosecutor Choi?

What are you waiting for? You're here to wag your tail.

Go for it.

You lunatic.

Min Soo.

Hey. Oh, boy.

- Are you all right?
- I sure am.

How about a drink tonight?

Tonight? Let's just go now. We'll play hooky.

No.

I have to take care of something after Mr. Jang leaves for the day.

What? Are you scheming behind Jang Il Hyun's back?

Then I'll stay late too, for a change.

Sounds good. I'll call you when I'm done.

This is where it happened.

No security cameras.

And the residents in this area rarely use this alley.

The culprit most likely knew about it.

That's why he could stab her...

without hesitation in broad daylight.

He attacked her from behind and stabbed her...

precisely in the lungs so she wouldn't be able to scream.

This wasn't his first murder.

Hello, Prosecutor Kim.

How have you been?

Good. You're keeping well too, right?

Anyway, what's up?

I need to take care of something quietly, and I could use some help.

Tell me how I can help. Gimsan is quiet these days.

I'll text you an address.

Please compile a list of ex-offenders in the area...

who committed violent crimes in the past.

Okay. I'll send the list over as soon as it's ready.

Thank you.

They had an argument here.

Then he had a smoke by the main road over there...

and was possibly caught on camera.

- Sun Hee.
- Let go.

I said, I'm sorry.

- What's wrong?
- Let's break up.

- Just because you want to?
- Yes.

Fine. Then let's break up.

Looks like I'll have to check every single camera in the area.

(Again My Life)

- Do you see it here?
- No.

How about here?

- No.
- Then let's check the next one.

Wait.

Right here.

(Sun Boys Fan Signing Event)

Yes, you're right.

An idol group held a fan signing event in the area that day.

I was standing across the street.

Let's keep watching.

There. I'm right there.

Can we use this to prove that I'm innocent?

We've overcome one hurdle,

but catching the real culprit is the only definite way...

to prove your innocence.

What is a prosecutor?

Are we a legal criminal organization or what?

Goodness. Being a prosecutor sure isn't easy.

Are you upset about what happened earlier?

Gosh.

That jerk thinks he can lecture me just because he's my senior.

He's coddling a criminal...

to cover up the Mirae Electronics case.

Mirae Electronics CEO is a big shot. It won't be easy.

If he were easy, it'd be no fun.

My, you're not saying you'll give up.

Of course, I won't.

Did you get everything done?

Yes.

Do you think you can catch the real culprit?

You knew?

There are only two things that I don't know.

What women want and what you want.

Well...

I think I know what you want.

I'm easy, that's why. I always say what I think.

Assemblyman Lee Jae Hoon.

Did you do a background check on me?

Yes, because I wanted to trust you.

You wanted to trust me?

So I had to check your background...

to learn more about you.

- I'm sorry.
- Don't be.

So? Do you trust me now?

Yes.

That's odd. The Kim Hee Woo I know...

would've felt hostility toward me as soon as he heard my father's name.

He wasn't exactly a clean politician, you know.

He had a successful political career,

but he was involved in a number of corruption scandals and sex crimes.

He was framed by someone,

wasn't he?

How did you know?

All his case files are gone.

The files are gone,

but there are people who remember what happened.

Hold on.

I can't think straight right now.

Let me ask you two questions so I can gather my thoughts.

- When did you look into this?
- When I was in Gimsan.

Why are you telling me this when you really didn't need to?

Because I'm convinced that we share the same goal.

What is my goal?

Cho Tae Sub.

Later on...

Someday,

hopefully I can tell you everything.

I want to tell you.

I'll wait for that day.

Let's drink.

- Yeon Seok.
- Yes.

Hey, tell Sang Man to come down for dinner.

Don't make him come down here.

He's been working tirelessly for days to help out Hee Woo.

Really? Then... Hold on.

Go eat with him.

May I?

The dinner rush is over. Relax and enjoy the food.

Yeon Seok, let's go.

There's nothing like braised chicken after a long, hard day.

What? Are you going with him?

Of course. I must serve this delicious braised chicken...

to the young hardworking men who are helping our son.

- Stop.
- What?

Put your foot on the chair.

You're so bossy. Here.

- The right foot.
- Goodness. What's with you?

Fine. Here. What's the problem?

Why do you need this?

What is it doing there?

I was thinking you've been quiet for a few days.

Don't get the wrong idea. I just wanted to cheer up the young men.

Do you know when a man feels the most miserable?

When he realizes that he doesn't have soju...

while eating meat after a long, hard day.

Is that so?

Here. Take this...

and enjoy your dinner with Sang Man.

He'll clean and close up today.

- Thank you.
- No problem.

Hey, Yeon Seok.

- Honey.
- What?

- I need to talk to you.
- About what?

Let's split up.

Sure, whatever.

Today! Let's split up right now.

Then we'll meet again tomorrow.

I love you.

Darn it. I'm so embarrassed.

Goodness. Who writes comments like this?

You should have some food.

(Murderer Lee Ju Seok, Murderer med student)

What's all this?

Kiddo, you wouldn't understand...

even if I explained what the cyber task force does.

- Is it going well?
- You're here.

Yes.

Look at you, our comment management task force.

So? Is everything coming along smoothly?

"Comment management task force"? Come on.

I'm a pro.

Okay, I got those comments deleted.

Jang Il Hyun will go after him more viciously now.

A college student's future depends on this,

so focus and don't let your guard down, okay?

I've never let my guard down.

I'm tightening my sphincter muscles as I speak.

Good for you.

It wasn't me. It was this guy in here.

Have some food, online comments manager.

I'm the head of the cyber task force.

Here, one more. Open wide, online comments manager.

I said, the cyber...

You made it.

I had a meeting with the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.

Yes, I heard.

The Korean semiconductor industry should be leading the world now,

but the competition among the domestic companies...

has been costing them too much.

When it comes to technology,

competition spurs innovation and development.

Right. I understand that competition is good for the industry,

but coexistence is equally important.

Agreed.

Speaking of which, don't you think Mirae Motors' decision to end...

their cooperative relationship with Mirae Electronics...

was made too hastily?

The two companies can and should grow together.

Look at the bigger picture and rethink your decision.

The thing is,

the group has already finalized the decision.

Hello, sir.

Hello, Hee A. It's good to see you.

I heard you're now the head of Chunha Economic Research Institute.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

I'm sorry to interrupt,

but my father has to take his medication on time.

For my blood pressure and heart...

The older I get, the more pills I have to take.

You're leading the economy of this country.

You must look after your health.

I'm glad you're here.

Get me the analysis...

on Mirae Electronics' semiconductor department.

Sure.

(Analysis on Mirae Electronics' Semiconductor Department)

Here.

The decision was made based on our in-depth research...

and prediction analysis.

Can you explain it to him?

Sure. As you know, sir,

many semiconductor technologies are used to make a car.

So the key is...

using stable semiconductors built upon solid technologies,

and Chunha Electronics' technologies...

surpass Mirae Electronics' in various aspects.

The data and numbers in the report tell it all.

I see.

Now that Mirae Motors belongs to Chunha Group,

we believe that focusing on safety and cost-effectiveness...

is more important than sticking to the old ways.

That is something you always emphasized too, sir.

Your daughter is such a bright young lady.

She sure is qualified to be the next leader of Chunha.

Your brother must be nervous.

I'm flattered, sir.

(Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo)

I emailed you the list you asked for.

(Inbox)

Look at this.

Hey, Kyu Ri.

It's been a long time.

Indeed. Good to see you. How have you been?

Good, of course.

What brings you here at this time of day? Aren't you busy?

Hold on.

Take a look at this.

Here.

(Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office)

What's this?

It's about a case.

- A case?
- Yes.

This is...

It's about the college girl murder,

which was all over the news recently.

So you want me to represent the accused in the case?

Correct.

I'm sure you're not asking me to fight to lose.

What makes you think this is winnable?

There isn't really any decisive evidence against him.

And there's solid evidence that shows...

he wasn't at the scene when she was killed.

This isn't enough.

We could try, but I can't guarantee you that we'll win.

One could argue that he left the scene momentarily...

to buy a knife.

There's no store selling knives that size...

within a 1km-radius from the scene.

One might say he could've bought and hidden the knife in advance,

but he and his girlfriend got along fine until that day.

That doesn't change anything. It's still not enough.

If he actually murdered his girlfriend in this brutal manner...

and is flat out denying it without showing any remorse,

then what will you do?

I do not want to represent a client like that.

If you were a lawyer, you'd be able to understand...

what it's like to have to defend a criminal...

who should never be forgiven.

If I were a lawyer...

and had to argue that an innocent man was guilty of a crime,

I'd feel even worse.

Of course.

You should've been a lawyer.

So you'll take it on, right?

Fine.

It'll be a tough fight, but let's try.

Thank you.

My firm doesn't exactly have a good rapport with the prosecution.

You're aware, right?

The side that loses will take a big hit.

But if we win, we'll gain a lot.

Order.

(Judge)

All right.

Case Number 2017-GH-19273.

We will now begin the trial.

This photo was taken when the accused...

was standing by the main road after arguing with his girlfriend.

An idol group's fan signing event was taking place in the area.

This shows the accused who happened to be walking by...

while the fan club members were taking the photo.

This photo was taken at 16:27.

The accused called an ambulance at 16:28:52.

Do you think he could have run back,

stabbed her, and called an ambulance...

in 1 minute and 52 seconds? That's certainly not enough time.

Your Honour. It only takes a few seconds to kill someone.

The defence is distracting us by listing a bunch of numbers.

More importantly, from the moment of his arrest on site...

and until now, the defendant...

- You're here.
- has not shown any sign of remorse.

I'm sure you wouldn't have invited me...

to a fight you would lose.

How do you plan on catching him?

No traces of blood can be found on the defendant's clothes.

- See for yourself.
- If he had killed someone,

would it be possible for his clothes to be this spotless?

We have a clear imprint of the defendant's fingerprints.

Let me add that no other fingerprints were found on this...

besides the defendant's.

Additionally, there were no signs of the victim resisting.

The fact that she didn't resist...

is proof that she knew the assailant.

I submit this as evidence.

It's been confirmed that the victim was stabbed once,

exactly in her lungs.

This led to her instant death, in which she couldn't even scream.

It's highly likely...

that the culprit is someone who is experienced with knives.

I object, Your Honour.

The defendant is a medical student.

He knows the human anatomy better than anyone.

I agree.

What is it?

Are you serious?

Kyu Ri?

Your Honour.

The real culprit has been captured.

With this,

according to Code 255 in the Criminal Procedure,

the prosecution...

will drop the charges.

Silence, everyone.

Thank you.

This was it.

(Supreme Court)

All right, spill it. Who's going to tell me?

("Eastern District Prosecutors' Kim Kyu Ri Catches Real Culprit!")

A week ago, Hee Woo requested my help on a case.

I need your assistance on a case.

My assistance?

I have a suspicion, so I need your help.

I think the real culprit is still out there.

But why would you ask me?

Chief Jang from my department is in charge of this case.

I don't feel comfortable getting too involved.

This is Chief Jang's case?

Yes. I know it's obviously a lot of pressure for you.

You may have to go head to head with Chief Jang.

I'll take it.

If he's the real culprit as you say, then we have to catch him.

I knew I could count on you.

Thanks.

Kang Deok Gu.

(Sexual harassment, sexual assault, aggravated rape)

This scumbag.

Sexual harassment, assault, and aggravated rape.

This punk is total trash. What a scumbag...

Kyu Ri. Try not to swear so much.

I know it's just me here, but you're crossing a line.

Whatever.

- Mr. Gu.
- Yes?

- Follow me.
- What? To where?

We're going to Yangpyeong. A murder was reported.

A murder case? Where is it? Let's leave now.

Stop.

This is a top secret investigation. Stay on the down-low, all right?

Your rash actions could ruin everything. I'm warning you.

Yes, ma'am. I'll be careful.

- Let's go.
- Okay.

Chill out.

This place has nothing nearby and there's zero foot traffic.

It's the perfect place to dump a body.

Listen.

We're not here to make an arrest, but here to collect evidence.

So search carefully.

Alert me right away if you find anything suspicious.

- I will.
- Let's get to work.

He doesn't tire, does he?

We've been searching for four hours, but we found nothing.

Was this plan too ambitious?

Mr. Gu. Let's wrap up for the day.

No, let's search a little more.

Gosh, that klutz.

Seung Hyuk. Are you okay?

Seung Hyuk!

What's wrong?

Over there.

- Hello?
- Hee Woo.

We found an unidentified body in the location you gave me.

But there's no evidence to tie it to Kang Deok Gu. What should I do?

I'll find the evidence. Just keep this under wraps.

Okay. I'll request for a confidential autopsy...

from the National Forensic Service.

We'll be on stakeout from now.

All right, thank you.

Sure thing.

Gosh, are you on a picnic?

Stop stuffing your face, you punk.

- Hey, get up. Hurry up.
- Why? What is it?

- It's him.
- It's Kang Deok Gu.

We can't lose him. Step on it.

He's going. Come on.

Why is this acting up?

Gosh, hurry up!

Hello? Do you have an idea of his destination?

Misari?

Okay, try tailing him.

He's extremely dangerous, so don't get close.

Call for back up the instant you notice something suspicious.

Don't ever, under any circumstances, try to handle it yourself. Got it?

Okay.

Sang Man.

(Extra Strength Bleach)

(Bleach)

Let's go.

Not too fast.

Kang Deok Gu!

I'm Prosecutor Kim Kyu Ri of the Eastern Prosecutors' Office.

You're under arrest for murdering multiple women.

You have the right to an attorney...

and to exonerate yourself.

You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions.

Anything you say...

can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Hee Woo, we arrested Kang Deok Gu.

We suspect that you killed these women.

It's so nice to see them again like this.

She had beautiful feet.

This one had silky hair.

And this girl had really smooth hands.

- And this one.
- What's wrong?

- Let's just stop.
- What's going on?

Let's break up.

- Just like that?
- Yes.

Fine! Let's break up then!

Her sharp voice was so attractive.

Yes. That's why I killed her.

Gosh. That's why she died.

I see. That's how it happened?

- Thanks for your hard work.
- Gosh, don't mention it.

Actually, I should thank you.

I caught a serial killer thanks to you.

By the way, Hee Woo,

what made you suspect Kang Deok Gu as the real culprit?

That was before we got...

the autopsy result for one of his victims.

Oh, that? I got lucky when I was investigating my case.

And how did you know the dead body was in Yangpyeong?

Oh, that? I really didn't like what Jang Il Hyun was up to.

It started off as a simple suspicion.

I was just lucky.

Really?

I thought you were some kind of psychic.

I bet it's a hunch of a competent prosecutor.

But everyone knows that you have the best hunches.

Gosh. Seriously, Hee Woo.

Even your flattery is on another level.

I should get going first.

I need to identify the rest of the victims.

- See you around, Min Soo.
- See you. Good luck with the case.

- See you later.
- See you.

All right. Then I'll get going too.

Already? Why?

We should get a cup of coffee.

What are you talking about? I don't have time for that.

I need to wrap up the Mirae Electronics' case.

Wait. Did you get the case back?

Not yet. But I will get it back at some point. Right?

Chief Prosecutor Kim's plan to bury the Mirae Electronics' case...

with the college girl murder case is ruined.

Then the Mirae Electronics' case will be in the limelight again.

He will put me back on the case before the public finds out...

he switched the prosecutor in charge.

He hates it when people badmouth him.

Probably.

Anyway, what's next for you, Hee Woo?

In my opinion, you're preparing for an even bigger event.

It's not like you to end things this prematurely. Right?

Exactly.

Where's the fun in showing all my cards in the trailer?

Precisely. I'll look forward to that.

- See you.
- Bye.

I saw the breaking news.

Seriously. You are something else, Mr. Kim.

Could you tell me your secret? I won't tell anyone.

There's no secret.

It's all thanks to you Investigator Oh. Thank you.

It's my honour to contribute to catching a serial killer.

I'll call you again.

I would like to politely decline it.

Pardon?

It was a joke. I will welcome your calls anytime.

Thank you. Bye.

I emailed you what you asked me to look into.

(List of Men with Priors)

Look at this.

It's the notorious serial killer, Kang Deok Gu.

I didn't think I would come across him with this case.

- Prosecutor Jang Il Hyun!
- Prosecutor Jang!

- The defendant was acquitted!
- One comment!

- What's your statement on that?
- Please answer our question.

- Prosecutor Jang!
- What do you think about...

the possibility of the prosecution fabricating the case?

- A statement, please.
- Prosecutor Jang!

- Is that true?
- We want a statement!

- Prosecutor Jang!
- Give us a comment.

I'm sorry.

(Prosecution Service)

Your failure to wrap up a case ruined everything.

I'm sorry, sir.

The reputation of our agency is in the gutter.

The CEO of Mirae Electronics, Jeon Il Bo's case resurfaced...

as soon as Kang Deok Gu was arrested as if they had been waiting.

That means the press saw through our moves.

Yes.

What?

Turn on the TV.

We could not repress the shock from the prosecution's double standard.

Their shoddy investigation accused an innocent man of murder.

But they bent the rules for a rich CEO of a conglomerate.

Their corrupt behaviour has become visible today.

Whom does the prosecution serve?

We demand that the prosecution make their loyalty clear.

- We, Daehan Party, urge them...
- Call Public Information.

- to be transparent...
- Tell them to release articles...

- with their investigations.
- that we won't go easy on the rich.

Put Lee Min Soo back on the case before people start to talk.

Yes, sir. I will do as you say.

I got the financial director's file from Hosanna,

the organization that bribed Jang Il Hyun.

The funds his son used...

to buy an apartment in Gangnam seem a bit suspicious.

We found a good lead. Thank you for your help.

Here. A lead that shows...

National University Arts Foundation broke college admission rules.

They even fabricated the audition grades.

The children of influential figures got into college every year.

High-ranking public official, an assemblyman,

a councilman, and even a member of the NIS.

The foundation must have rigged the grades with a nudge from them.

And I was able to get evidence of corruption on Sung Jin Mi.

This must have been a lot of work. Thank you.

I didn't mind the work. But I was just so shocked.

These people had nothing to fear.

When I kept digging, I kept finding more dirt.

I bet they don't even think this is wrong.

All right. So what's your plan?

First of all, the connection between Kim Seok Hoon and Jang Il Hyun...

must be cut off.

And you will provide the cause for it.

- Me?
- Yes.

Jang Il Hyun will probably pay you a visit.

What brings you here?

I heard you've been investigating National University Arts Foundation.

I'll cut to the chase.

I will soon marry Chairwoman Sung Jin Mi...

of National University Arts Foundation.

Is that so?

That's why I'm bringing this up.

I want you to stop investigating her foundation.

I understand where you're coming from,

but I can't do that.

I'm embarrassed to admit this.

But I haven't done anything since I got transferred to Seoul.

Don't you want to join...

Chief Prosecutor Kim's side?

I hope you and I can belong to the same club.

But with this distasteful incident,

I don't think that's possible.

(Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon)

I understand what you mean.

Then I'll stop here.

Then I hope our relationship can continue to stay amicable.

(Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon)

As if losing the trial wasn't enough,

how dare he drop my name to stop an ongoing investigation?

- Yes, sir.
- I want to see Division Chief Jeon.

Did you ask to see me?

Yes. So you've been investigating National University Arts Foundation.

Pardon?

Oh, yes.

I was, but...

What is it? Is there a problem?

Well, Department Chief Jang asked me to stop...

You're a prosecutor, trying to catch criminals.

You don't have to worry about him.

You can smell corruption from the foundation a mile away, right?

Yes. It's pretty bad.

Okay. Do you have any evidence?

- I have it.
- Request for a search warrant now.

Investigate thoroughly and find every single crime they committed.

Don't forget to report to me.

Yes, sir. I will.

What on earth is this?

A search warrant for National University Arts Foundation?

Gosh. Did it already get issued?

You told me that you would back up. You went behind my back?

I see. Is your nickname Bat?

You clearly told me you would back off!

- I was going to.
- Then what?

Chief Prosecutor Kim told me to keep investigating.

Chief Prosecutor Kim did?

Are you sure that's what he told you?

No. I don't remember him telling me about that.

You're just trying to ruin me, aren't you?

As you know,

the press has been running stories that we've been covering up cases.

So Chief Prosecutor Kim...

is paying a lot of attention to my investigation now.

I couldn't tell him...

that you asked me to stop investigating.

Should I go over there and tell him that now?

And...

you'd better watch out.

Don't you dare raise your voice at your senior.

The Prosecutor General is on the line.

(Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon)

Hello, sir.

How could you fail to take care of the Mirae Electronics' case?

I'm sorry.

Chief Prosecutor Kim, is this your leadership problem?

I'll take care of it as soon as possible.

The Secretary at the Blue House is on the line.

This is Kim Seok Hoon speaking.

I've been hearing a lot of chatter lately.

People are already demanding a reform in the prosecution.

There's nothing we can do to stop them.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let it get past me.

Chief Prosecutor Kim. Forget about becoming the Prosecutor General.

Perhaps, even your current position should be reconsidered.

I'm saying everyone has their place based on their competence.

But we won't neglect the hard work you had put in.

Taking a break can be an option too.

Bye.

The prosecution announced that they obtained clear evidence...

that can indict the CEO of Mirae Electronics, Jeon Il Bo.

They dismissed the possibility of Jeon getting released.

If Mr. Jeon were to get arrested,

my request for your help would be moot.

Don't you agree?

I'm sorry, sir.

So what brings you here?

The reputation of the prosecution is worsening day by day.

I want to avert the public's attention.

Things must be tough for you.

I need your help, sir.

People take things for granted when I continue to be generous.

So when they are in a predicament, they come to me and beg...

for my help.

But how could I believe in you?

I'm sorry.

You should step down.

Sir.

I'm sorry.

Never...

This will never happen again.

Prosecutor Kim.

Don't you know who gave you the position?

- You did, sir.
- I know your limit.

I will give you money and power...

that will satisfy you more than enough.

So bear this in mind.

You will have more than enough as long as you stick to...

what I give you.

I will bear that in mind.

Get up now.

- Director Han.
- Yes.

Do you have anything we can use?

A man installed hidden cameras to spy on newscasters.

Hidden cameras.

- Let's go with that.
- Yes, sir.

I told you to get up. Now.

Thank you.

But to avert the public's attention completely...

from the corruption of Mirae Electronics,

the spy cam scandal won't be enough.

Is there any other case you can use now?

There's a corruption scandal behind National University Arts Foundation.

I'll puff it up now.

National University Arts Foundation...

A lot of people buy artworks from the foundation as investments.

Make sure they aren't affected by this.

Yes, sir.

By the way,

people already lost faith in the prosecution.

What will you do about that?

Especially you must be in a pickle.

I will make sure to redeem myself.

Gosh, it's not about redeeming yourself.

Why don't you put out a fall guy who will take responsibility?

Responsibility?

Yes. Show the people...

that you can still be trustworthy.

It's just that a loach mudded its good name.

You can catch that prosecutor and make an example out of him.

Simple, isn't it?

A loach?

(Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office)

("Footage of Newscaster Choi Min Jin from a Spy Cam Gets Leaked")

When I was investigating corruption behind the foundation,

I stumbled upon Chief Jang Il Hyun's corruption as well.

It's pretty bad, so I'm reporting it to you.

Come on in.

- Did you want to see me?
- Yes.

(Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon)

What is this?

Recently, a prosecutor...

has brought disgrace to our entire organization.

And the same prosecutor has been taking bribes from conglomerates.

You can guess who it is, right?

Yes.

Do you think you can take down Chief Jang Il Hyun?

I'm going after a colleague as well as a senior prosecutor.

I'll give you full authority.

Keep the investigation under wraps.

You're responsible to restore the reputation of our organization.

Yes, sir.

This investigation...

is only between us.

I expect you to end it as swiftly as possible.

Yes, sir. I will.

Your lifeline has snapped, Jang Il Hyun.

(Again My Life)

The sword pointing at Cho Tae Sub.

He probably wants them to fight under his fingertips.

You should live your own life.

We can get him.

As long as our country can be powerful...

With this,

I will be more powerful.
