THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION BASED IN A DYSTOPIAN KOREA

ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS AND EVENTS ARE FICTITIOUS

-Judge Kang. -My family's in there.

-There's someone in there! -Don't!

Help!

Judge Kang!

-Kang Yo-han! -Don't!

I'm only trying to give him a chance.

-Don't… -Please…

-Don't! -There are people in there.

No!

No…

Honey! Help!

Let go. Let go of me!

Just calm down and take a good look at him.

My money!

My money!

My money!

What is it? This is fake money!

This isn't my money.

This isn't my money…

-I need to save them! -Calm down.

Look at his bare face.

This is…

Honey, this is…

He'd even deceived his family telling them he had nothing left.

Seo-jin.

I really had no choice…

Honey, let me explain.

Hey!

Don't go!

Don't leave me!

Here. If you want your revenge, go ahead.

Don't hesitate.

Please…

I'm sorry. Please save my life…

I'm sorry… I deserve to die for what I did.

My money… My money!

He's our only bait to catch Cha Gyeong-hui.

Let's not make him go to waste.

Having fun?

Well… I don't know any other games.

-You don't? -No.

-You've never played card games before? -With who?

With family or…

Or with friends.

-Sorry, I shouldn't have said that. -Getting nosy again, are you?

Don't rush to conclusions.

I just don't like spending time with others. That's all.

Before that…

Thank you for helping me catch Do Yeong-chun.

Save your thanks.

We only just built the second story.

Second story?

First was Cha Gyeong-hui's secretary, and second was Do Yeong-chun.

Now, we should move on to the next level.

After Cha Gyeong-hui would be Heo Jung-se?

Where is the end?

Well, it all depends on the architecture of the house.

But I'm the type who enjoys toppling it all at once like this.

You thought I'd really topple it, didn't you?

Did you find anything about Jukchang TV? You seemed to be digging ferociously.

I did. Jukchang TV started assaulting people on the streets

right around when Heo Jung-se incited his followers to take the streets.

We can't just rely on the police.

We should be the owners of this country and build a safe country ourselves.

Tonight is the night we become the real owners!

What else?

-Butler. -Yes, Master.

Can you play episode 86 of Heo Jung-se's personal channel?

Mid-September, four years ago.

Certainly, Master.

You two have become best friends, haven't you?

The man to change Korea totally,

Heo Jung-se! Yes, the man to solve all your woes!

Hello, I'm Do Yeon-jeong.

Hi!

Dear my beloved and respected viewers, I'm Heo Jung-se.

I'll tell you the real reason

why you're living a pathetic life as a jobless loser

and without ever dating

a pretty girl like I am now.

It's because the higher-ups, the ones with vested rights!

It's all because they abandoned you.

Because they're currently replacing all of you

with foreign laborers who are obedient and come in cheap.

-Do you understand me? -Do you understand?

Now, I've mentioned Mr. Seo Jeong-hak to you many times.

-It costs 19,000 won. -Make sure you have a read.

Soon, we'll be a classless nation

filled with all kinds of mutts

that have replaced us pure Koreans!

You need to wake up, all right?

You need to rise up with even your jukchang...

You know jukchang, right? It's the bamboo spears.

What we need are groups like The Patriotic Boys or The Patriotic Youth

and then protect the country.

-An army! -That's enough. Enough.

Boys, you should always listen to what a beautiful lady tells you.

Understand?

Are you laughing because you know my wife is a looker?

I knew you're a womanizer, you loser.

Shine the camera on him.

Show them the loser's face.

He was one of his production crew.

It seems he was hired after he ran Heo Jung-se's fan club.

He even worked in Heo Jung-se's presidential campaign.

Interesting.

Establish a national patriotic youth organization?

Heo Jung-se had wild dreams from the start.

How about we have him stand before the court?

Yes. I totally agree.

Who knows what he'll do at this rate? Are they trying to be a rebel group?

It was quite amusing how you got Kang Yo-han to model.

Make sure he's not up to trouble, Director Jung…

I mean, Chairwoman Jung.

Don't you worry.

I'll keep a tight rein on him.

Thanks to our fine model poking around in our Dream Base project,

we've wasted so much time.

And it's costing us too.

Let's just push for it now without minding others.

We'll gather up all the slumdogs and the malcontents in Seoul,

place them in a concentration camp and turn it into reality TV.

The title will be Clean Korea!

We should lock up all the illegal migrants too.

There's nothing like it for improving your approval ratings.

Just you wait. I can't rely on the police or the prosecution to do

anything when they're waiting to stab my back at any moment.

I ought to breed a more faithful and loyal organization

and entrust them with the responsibilities.

And it's starting to come along.

MINISTRY OF JUSTICE DEPARTMENT OF YOUTH EDUCATION TF

PRESIDENT PARK DU-MAN

CONVERSATION REPORT TARGET: PARK DU-MAN

What's the status on Jung Seon-a's file?

It hasn't been so easy since it was some time ago.

Put a hold on everything else

and have everyone work on it.

-What are you doing? Move it. -Yes, Minister.

However, our team leader does have a concern.

What?

Random assaults have been spreading across the country recently.

The victims were mostly foreign workers and women…

And?

So what?

Well, there are criticisms questioning what the Ministry of Justice is doing.

Did someone die?

No that's not it.

But the assaults took place publicly in the streets, and in broad daylight too.

They run counter to the slogan, "A Safe Korea."

But that's Heo Jung-se's slogan.

It was for his presidential campaign.

Why should I mind it?

I'm sorry, Minister.

I'm sure that…

Heo Jung-se thinks he can gain power

by instigating immature adolescents to instill fear,

but he's making a big mistake.

If he continues to let them be, some will surely go too far.

When we start seeing some deaths

and when the people's frustration are at its zenith,

that's when I'll strike.

I, Cha Gyeong-hui, the Minister of Justice,

envisions a united Korea, a nation of tolerance,

as a presidential candidate.

Absolutely, Minister.

You just focus on Jung Seon-a.

We need to stomp down on her before she grows any bigger.

There's something about Seo Jeong-hak's sudden death too.

There's more to it than what we see.

To that wench's grand scheme, I mean.

Yes, Minister.

-One more thing. -Yes.

You've been diligently checking on him too, right?

Who do you mean, exactly?

Do Yeong-chun.

Yes, I've been checking on him regularly.

I'm sure he has money stashed away somewhere.

That weasel…

He'll do anything for money.

What are you doing?

-Go do your work. -Yes, Minister.

Today we're joined by the woman of the moment,

Judge Oh Jin-ju of the Department of Live Court Show.

-Hello, Judge Oh. -Yes, hello.

Judge Oh, you looked amazing in your recent shoot.

-Thank you. -It's all the rage!

People have been saying you should be a movie star instead.

Not everyone can be a movie star.

Everyone, I was born to be a civil servant.

-You're set until retirement too. -Please, Judge Oh.

Don't you find it tiring though?

You have the eyes of the nation on your work.

It must be exhausting.

No, how would I ever be tired when so many people support me?

-Really? -Yes.

We've been receiving so many letters of support.

-Would you like me to show you? -Yes.

Oh, so you've been keeping them?

It gives me so much strength and joy to see that there are many out there

who trust and support me.

We can see you truly mean it, Judge Oh Jin-ju.

All done.

You were really great, Judge Oh.

I always had it in me, you know.

Anyway, you should have done the interview too.

I was kind of embarrassed to do it on my own.

I'm camera-shy, so…

But that's not on! We should be engaging more

with our citizens in an era like this.

In fact, this is the perfect timing for our next trial.

I wonder what Judge Kang is doing.

-I have something to show you. -What?

Are they crazy? Oh no…

What are the police doing? They should arrest them!

Nice!

Busan, you've still got it!

-Hold on. -You'll help me, right?

We are…

the power!

Shall we have them stand before the court?

For our show?

Judge Oh has given us her consensus too. But we have a problem.

How will we catch them and drag them into court

when they're under the police's protection?

You're right. They need to be indicted first to face trial.

But I'm not sure whether that would be possible

when the President has their back.

There is someone who will be most willing to help us with this one.

Who are you talking about?

Someone who won't be able to stand watching Heo Jung-se

have his way more than anyone else.

Cha Gyeong-hui?

Still, do you think she will help you?

Of course she won't.

That's why Mr. Go will use his connections in the Prosecution to leak it to her.

That the Jukchang hooligans are Heo's private organization.

If they can bring them in, it won't be a problem indicting them.

Still, I bet they'll be reluctant to arrest them themselves.

There is one person. A police officer who may be able to do it.

Police officer?

Are you talking about Su-hyeon?

She'll have to do this on her own since the Commissioner has their back too.

Not Su-hyeon. Never.

Something tells me she's already on the move.

Okay, that was Busan.

We've done Busan, Daegu, and…

so where is next?

Daejeon.

What are you doing, Daejeon?

Aren't you going to show us your patriotism?

You can't lose to them!

I know what fine patriots you…

-What's on your mind? -Geez.

When did you come in?

-You're planning to catch him, aren't you? -Well…

Yes, you're right.

Ever since he got caught last time,

he's just broadcasting shows in hiding.

Then we'll have to track him down.

-Do you need my help? -You?

Give it to me.

For real?

Here.

All right. I bet it won't be so easy, but…

First…

It's heavily secured as I expected.

Wow, this is something else.

You really are a computer science major.

SU-HYEON

One moment.

Hey, Su-hyeon.

Hey, Ga-on. Aren't you coming home these days?

No, there's something I have to do.

Before that, are you okay?

Jukchang maliciously edited and uploaded that video of yours.

Don't get me started. I had to turn in my gun because of him.

We really need to catch that bastard quick,

but the higher-ups won't budge.

So I can't even ask the Cyber Police for help.

If I don't jump in to stop him, who knows how far that bastard will go.

You're already on it?

Oh, I'm playing a game.

-Game? -Yes.

Don't tell me you think

hacking involves typing away at your computer all day.

Gosh, computer illiterates…

I'm running a program in the background, so just wait.

It'll take some time.

Maybe a day, or maybe a week.

Thanks, Elijah.

What is it?

This idiot clicked on a link I included in my comments.

Who knew he'd fall for something as simple as this?

What was it?

-A picture of a female K-Pop idol. -K-Pop idol?

Hey, Ga-on.

What? You have Jukchang's location?

Where is he? Let me head there now.

Su-hyeon, let's keep calm

and ask for an official investigation. It's dangerous on your own.

It's no use. No one will help.

Besides, this is just catching one loser.

It's dangerous on your own, without a gun.

Whatever. Just send me the address.

I'm serious, all right?

-Send me the address. -Su-hyeon…

SUSPECTED TO HAVE MURDERED SEO JEONG-HAK…

We have a story…

but there's not enough evidence.

I need at least a few more circumstantial evidence

if I wanted to topple her with one blow.

-Minister Cha. -What is it?

The foundation cut our budget for the Ministry of Justice.

What?

It was a unilateral notice without negotiations

and we will be short on funds for our shadow organization.

That wench…

Minister Cha, you can't just…

I'm sorry, Chairwoman. I couldn't stop her from barging in.

It's okay. I had a good sleep.

And don't do that next time. She serves this country.

Long time no see.

Has it been a long time?

I admit I have been quite neglectful.

But please do forgive me.

It's not easy being a chairwoman.

Why did you cut the budget?

That's why you're here.

You must have been very disappointed.

But please do understand.

There are so many places to support,

but our donations are down since people have become ungenerous.

But you increased your budget for the Blue House.

I see.

That was a decision by our staff and I can't remember every single detail.

Shall I help you remember, then?

Don't you smell something fishy?

What, exactly?

For some reason, I'm smelling blood around you.

I wonder why is that so.

I'm not sure what you mean.

How long has it been again since Chairman Seo took his own life?

Oh dear.

Did I rub salt into your wound?

If I did, I apologize. You did serve him for a long time.

You must still be grieving and in pain.

What is it that you want to say, Minister?

When you're in my seat,

you come to hear all sorts.

For example?

A power figure who was greatly respected by our citizens took his own life.

So why did they hurriedly cremate him instead of holding a national funeral?

And why had he left his will on his PC instead of in his own handwriting?

He'd always write with a brush and ink too.

Do you have much free time on your hands these days?

Would you like more work?

What?

Come back with more definitive evidence.

I'm sorry, but I'm a little busy with our state affairs.

-Jae-hui? -Yes.

Our guest will be leaving now.

Oh, and one more thing, Minister.

I'm really sorry,

but your vehicle is costing us an awful lot in terms of gas.

Since our country isn't in a good financial shape,

you won't mind if we switch it with something smaller, will you?

Our people will be touched

to see that our leaders of this country are surely different.

You've completely lost it.

What the hell are you doing?

Why is it taking so long to secure evidence against Jung Seon-a?

I'm sorry, Minister. Please give us some more time.

You incompetent imbeciles!

I should go see Kang Yo-han.

Pardon? Did you say Kang Yo-han?

What is this? Why are you so startled?

I didn't expect you to mention his name.

His name appears on her file that she used to be his maid.

I'm sure Kang Yo-han knows something. A clue to track down that wench's past.

Get me an appointment with him. And find a quiet place.

Yes, Minister.

Are you sure this is the place?

How did you find out anyway?

Most of all, why are you here?

Just in case you'll be bored on your own.

Were you that worried about sending me off alone?

Yes, I was worried.

-What? -Not about you, but Jukchang.

I was worried you'll beat him half to death like last time.

It's an electronic rolling shutter.

It looks like this is the only way in.

-Hey, Elijah. -Elijah?

Yes, the shutters are down.

Yes, all right.

Why did she call you?

It was Elijah who tracked down his IP to this address.

Really?

She's a genius who got admitted to Stanford at a young age

for computer science.

Amazing.

Still, I don't think she can open this.

Let's look for another way in.

Be careful.

24-HOUR KU BUILDING SECURITY

-Su-hyeon, come up. -Why?

-It's open. -What?

Hey, Elijah.

You're truly amazing. How did you even hack into this?

Whatever. Just be careful. Both of you.

Thanks.

Hacking? Honestly, those computer illiterates…

KU SECURITY NUMBER: 010 0178 1905

All right.

Hello?

I'm at Jinheung Building right now.

Really? At this hour?

I attend the First Cram School in this building

and I'd stayed back late to study for my exam…

Mister, I'm really scared.

What do I do?

Don't worry, I'll open it up.

Really? Thank you so much. Thank you!

Do you think we'll be okay? What if there are guards?

You think a loser who hides behind the monitor has bodyguards?

It's only a tiny personal channel…

CHANG'S DEBATING CLASS

JUKCHANG

Why wouldn't you pick up?

Stop lying. It's been more than 40 minutes already!

I'm starving, all right?

Where are you now?

I'll go get my jjamppong.

Hello. Hey, it's been a long time.

It's been a long time.

Are you here on your own?

Let go!

That hurts!

Let's go.

I'll come with you, all right?

Hey, what took you so long?

Hey.

-Go back. -That hurts!

Hey!

Are you all right?

Go see who that is.

Kang Yo-han?

You go get Jukchang.

Now the numbers are even, right?

Damn it.

Now we're really getting started, you loser!

Hello there!

Wow, educating our youth on law? That's very admirable.

Never mind me. Keep going.

It's okay. Just keep working.

But if there's anything interesting, show me too.

Minbo Group?

Great sound!

I can even hear President Min Yong-sik breathing.

What the hell are you doing here?

Is this Team Inwang-dong, that's more brilliant than the NIS?

Let's talk inside.

Why not just discuss it here?

We're all one team.

How did you even find out about this place?

I have much interest in youth and legal education, you see.

Whatever, just get to the point.

How do you know Jung Seon-a?

Well, I'm not sure what you're talking about.

I heard she once worked for your family as a maid.

-Is this true? -Well…

I shouldn't really talk about other people's private matters.

There are even rumors that she even killed her own parents.

Really? What a surprise.

Your face says, "I can't give it to you for free."

What is it that you want?

Jukchang.

Jukchang?

Cooperate with us on his trial.

All you need to do is indict him and sit back and watch.

-The Prosecution, that is. -Heo Jung-se will have a fit.

Why are you being so narrow-minded? It'll be me dealing with him anyway.

All right.

Thank you.

And…

I found this on my way here.

Should I give it to you? Or to him?

CASE REPORT ON UNNATURAL DEATH

AFFIDAVIT

AUTOPSY REPORT

An online broadcaster…

Isn't that rather dull for the Live Court Show?

He's been instigating violence and causing social agitation.

Wouldn't the Blue House like it too?

It goes in line with the President's strengthened policies

on law and order.

You do have a point.

All right. You have my full approval!

-How did it go? -Accepted.

-Then let me map out the plan on this one. -You?

It's me who knows guys like Jukchang best.

This is a blatant challenge

to our honorable, respectable citizens!

How could they put a patriotic youth to trial?

He plucked up the courage to defend his nation!

Are judges that great? Do they think they sit above the law?

This is clearly a coup! A coup d'etat!

That's not how it's supposed to be…

Anyway, all this was born out of his pure patriotism

to defend this country. Was it not?

I will keep a close watch on this trial to the end

on whether the proceedings are just and fair!

Damn it.

Kang Yo-han! I'll rip him to pieces!

This is driving me crazy.

Look, Mr. Lawyer.

I'm a political offender.

A revolutionary.

I'm not like your petty criminals, all right?

Then should I not submit evidence for extenuating circumstances?

For example, your unfortunate upbringing?

Hold on.

Wouldn't it be in my favor to publish that at least?

Submit that for now with all the details.

All right.

Since we're on the topic,

Kang Yo-han and some young judge

swung their wooden bats and threatened me in my face.

How about we use that against them?

You'll need a doctor's certificate if you wish to claim insanity.

But I saw them!

You think I'm lying to you?

Oh, really?

Then can you tell me all the names of the people

that witnessed the scene?

We'll need objective evidence.

Forget it.

I was there all alone.

Before that, are you sure you're confident about this?

I can't end up in prison, you know.

Yes, don't you worry.

I'll make sure you're released with a suspended sentence.

The effort you go to!

You take care of all these plants, a sensitive girl and a weird man

at that weird mansion.

I'm just as weird as he is.

Right. You have been weird these days.

What is it? Did Professor say something?

What about him?

I haven't seen him ever since I saw him here last time.

Oh, really?

I thought he'd been nagging you again.

You show up at the station and asked me what I would do

if you were to do something bad, and then Kang Yo-han showed up

when we were off to catch Jukchang.

Have you been up to no good these days?

Does it look like it?

Well… I'm just asking.

I'm just jealous. That's all.

It's weird seeing my best friend hang out with some billionaire.

It's like you're now in a whole different world.

I see.

But he's not rich.

Once you get to know him,

you'll see that he's a poor man.

I'm way richer, you know.

I have good memories with Mom and Dad,

and this house that I've been cherishing.

And…

I even have a fan club, don't I? "Ga-on, I reject it!"

I'm leaving.

-You're leaving already? -I'm busy.

You think police officers are free?

Take care.

And I have you,

Su-hyeon.

Hello, Young Master.

I know you're the chairwoman of our support group,

but don't you think you're barging in here too often?

So why do you keep making me want to barge in here?

Are you doing that on purpose because you miss me?

What's your business?

The Live Court Show.

Why did you pick such a scandalous case?

He's not a politician nor is he a privileged one.

So what's there to talk about?

-Isn't he just a petty offender? -He's one of Heo Jung-se's men.

He was livid and ready to disband your department,

but I managed to coax him in time.

I told you to just put up with it

for two more years. Why do you have to keep causing trouble?

Wow, so that hooligan is one of the President's men?

Now this is interesting.

Unfortunately, he attacked my niece.

Did he?

Still, you can't.

Concede on this one.

Just give him a lecture in court and let him go.

What if I say I can't?

Then that will leave me in an awkward situation.

And if that's the case,

you too, will also find yourself in a much awkward situation.

All right.

Let me think about it.

I just love you these days.

You've been awfully good, listening to me.

So let's stop barging in here, all right?

Exactly! Instead of having me barge in here,

invite me every now and then.

Is your house as beautiful as ever?

Just like how it was?

Do you miss the house you were a maid at?

Don't…

Don't you ever say that again.

I was a guest there who had stayed there temporarily.

Don't you ever insult me.

All right.

I'll take that to heart.

-We are Jukchang! -We are Jukchang!

-We are the power! -We are the power!

-Jukchang! -Jukchang!

-Jukchang! -Jukchang!

-Jukchang! -Jukchang!

-Jukchang! -Jukchang!

As you can see, the atmosphere here

at the Supreme Court is hot due to today's trial.

Our citizens who fully support the defendant

are continuing to protest even inside the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court has decided

not to have an open trial to the public

citing safety reasons due to the build-up of tension.

The court is now in session.

Mr. Kim Chung-sik.

My name is Kim Ju-won. Please call me Kim Ju-won.

In court, you are trialed under your registered name.

Mr. Kim Chung-sik.

Let me ask you one more time. Mr. Kim Chung-sik.

Yes, Your Honor.

You are before the court today for instigating and abetting

random group violence

against foreign workers, women, and the LGBTIQ.

Your Honor?

-Do you have something to say? -Yes.

Go on.

DEFENDANT

Before we start the trial, I would like to make

a solemn declaration before our history and our people.

My heroic deed is not something

that may be judged by a mere, worldly court.

For this reason, I wish to make a declaration of national salvation.

Mr. Kim, the court is not a place for propaganda.

Judges during the Japanese rule

would have said the same to our patriotic independence fighters.

What is the truth you are concealing that you're so afraid of, Judge Kang?

All right. Let's hear it.

A man of principles must confront

a million who only chase their own interests.

Therefore I, Kim Ju-won,

will gladly become the devil for my beloved homeland.

My fellow Koreans! Let's end this hypocrisy,

and put our people first.

These three years of the pandemic has savaged the job market

and now the foreigners have invaded our land, indulging in crime.

Our women parade in the streets in their arms, cooing all over them.

This is how they are robbing our youth of jobs,

of our women,

and now, our spirit.

To restore order to our country

means to reclaim our rightful ownership of this land.

I say this with confidence, with the love for my country.

Let's drive the foreigners off!

Let's chase out the mutts from the Republic of Korea!

For a clean Korea! For a safe Korea!

Let's rebuild this country. That is patriotism,

and we are the power.

Power! Yes, that's right!

That's our leader right there, gentlemen.

Guys, vote for him! Quick!

Let's see the stats. 55, 56, 57…

Hey, what is this? What's going on?

It looks like his followers have formed a coalition.

Are you finished?

Yes, I'll stop here for now.

-Mr. Kim. -Yes, Your Honor.

Are you aware where those foreign workers

you and your followers assaulted are working at?

Well? Should a revolutionary mind such details?

They work at a sewerage construction site and they had lost two of their colleagues

due to a toxic gas leak.

The work there had been delayed because no one was willing to go down there.

Mr. Kim, whose jobs did these workers rob, exactly?

We will always see innocent victims in war.

Do not devalue the rightful rage of our people, Your Honor.

Did you say,

"our people," and "rightful rage"?

It sure does look rightful.

Right? It is very rightful.

Those foreigners deserve that for trying to steal our women.

Haven't you heard of an untainted, homogenous nation?

Did you say, "our women"?

Women are also citizens of this country, not some object you'd lent to someone.

"Our women," my ass.

I'm sorry, that wasn't appropriate for in the courtroom.

I couldn't help my rightful rage.

That sounded like cursing. Your voice was too soft to catch that.

Would you come down here and tell me again?

-Mr. Kim. -Or should I go up there?

Mr. Kim, please focus.

-Mr. Kim? -Yes, Your Honor.

I suggest you calm down.

Yes, Your Honor.

Though it's my first time meeting you today,

I'm starting to pity you already.

I wonder what a tough life you must've led.

Well, I remember meeting you before, but I guess you don't.

-Your Honor? -Yes.

May I have your permission to step down

and continue my conversation with the Defendant?

Yes, you may.

Thank you.

Here, before me…

stands a young man.

Though he pretends to be strong, deep inside him is a child

who is hurt.

What the hell is this?

I'm talking about the files you submitted

as evidence for extenuating circumstances.

What?

Mr. Kim, you were desperate

for attention from a young age, am I correct?

-What? -Your grandmother was awfully worried.

Here.

My Chung-sik isn't a bad boy, really.

-Grandmother… -I was told

he'd been inciting some protest,

-but he would never to that. -What is that?

He's just being immature, that's all.

Did we discuss this?

So please forgive him.

By the way, Chung-sik.

-That money you took… -Turn it off.

-Your Grandmother had saved that -Turn it off!

-towards her own funeral. -Don't turn it off.

So return that money to her if not anything else.

I'm asking you.

Are you out of your mind? Why mention such a thing?

How will they hold your funeral otherwise?

My goodness… You must have lost it!

Counsel, what was Mr. Kim like as a student?

In fact, his former homeroom teacher finally agreed to testify.

-Why don't we all watch it together? -Testify to what?

Incite violence for a political purpose?

Never.

He did hang with the school bullies when he was in school,

but he was never a part of their group.

It was more that he followed them around, wanting to look cool.

Oh wow, that was a waste of time and money.

A loser who pretended to be cool?

You know Chung-sik? He used to go to my school.

And do you know what he did?

He was expelled for setting up spy cams in the girls' toilet.

He's the last person to be a revolutionary, or whatever it is.

So, please pardon him.

Framing him as a loser instead of a devil?

This will mess things up big time.

Though this is what the Defendant's acquaintances say about him,

there is one thing that's been bothering me.

Mr. Kim has incessantly requested donations through his channel

claiming he needs funds for a revolution to save the nation.

And the total amount collected wasn't a small sum.

Just what did you do with that money?

Why are you avoiding my eyes?

Did you perhaps, purchase explosives or guns from the black market?

What is this "revolution fund" in the first place?

I know nothing.

I exercise my right to remain silent.

Mr. Kim, if this is all true, this is an offense against the state.

And the punishment for treason

is the death penalty or imprisonment for life.

-Are you aware of this, Mr. Kim? -No, Your Honor.

Do you have anything to add, Counsel?

Yes.

It wasn't a rebellion my client had been preparing for with that money.

I was hesitant to disclose this as this is a private matter,

but I guess I have no other option. Shall we have a look? Here it is.

I'm an online streamer,

and Mr. Kim started donating heavily after he got on a competitive streak

against one of my other fans.

He'd donate millions every day.

No! I do not know this person!

What the hell is this?

-Mr. Kim, calm down. -He'd keep pestering me to meet him.

It's just so overbearing.

I really would like him to stop.

Did you perhaps also send your grandmother's savings to…

Wow, that's going too far.

One moment. It's okay.

It's okay. I promised to have you out with a suspended sentence.

Resume your seat, now.

It's okay.

Your Honor and distinguished judges,

as you can see, my client is not a revolutionary,

nor is he a threat to our state, who incites rebellion.

To be frank with you, his crimes are petty for him to even face trial.

Counsel.

Though the scale of his wrong-doing is not minute,

we will appreciate it if you would give him a chance to turn himself around.

We have thought about what would be

the most appropriate form of punishment for the Defendant,

between flogging or penal servitude.

However, there were also opinions

to give him another chance considering his young age.

Therefore this Court has decided to

sentence him to three years in prison with a suspended sentence of five years.

However, given the nature of the offense

and the Defendant's likelihood of recidivism,

the Defendant is to wear an electronic anklet

and placed under probation.

His location will be shown in real-time on Dike app

based on the signal transmitted by the anklet.

KIM CHUNG-SIK

Electronic anklet?

You should be ashamed of yourself!

How will you cope in summer? You can't even wear shorts now!

Calling for a party to hunt down Jukchang!

Jukchang, try your best to run away from us.

We'll chase you to the end.

I ask our fellow citizens who are watching this trial

to be the Defendant's probation officer.

I ask you not to take your eyes off him

and check where he is at and what he is up to at all times.

Because he needs your attention.

Don't you agree, Mr. Kim?

After all the effort I put into raising him,

he ruined everything!

Kang Yo-han!

Just give him a lecture in court and let him go.

All right.

Let me think about it.

KIM CHUNG-SIK PLACED UNDER PROBATION

FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTRY TO TRACK HIS WHEREABOUTS

Damn it.

So he played me, didn't he?

Do you see Jukchang over there? Let's teach him a lesson!

This live show will continue until the very end.

You know what that means. Subscribe, like, and comment!

The recent Kim Chung-sik case is an embarrassment to the nation

which must never take place ever again.

It is a vile disgrace to all the voluntary salvation efforts

that are taking place nation-wide, fuelled by the innocent patriotism

of our respectable citizens.

It is a foul-smelling case that taints their reputation.

I say foul-smelling because it reeks of conspiracy.

Where did he go?

-Let's try this way. -Come on!

Before that, is that man, Kim Chung-sik, even Korean?

I mean a real Korean like us.

Not a fake Korean, but a Korean with Korean citizenship!

Because a descendant of Dangun would never do such shitty…

I apologize for my words.

Because if he's pure Korean,

he would never do something so shameful as this. That's all here.

Jukchang, peek-a-boo!

Ready or not, here we come!

-Are you going to let him be like that? -Are you crazy?

Don't you ever bring up his name again, all right?

Yeon-jeong, this is just too much for me.

Damn it.

Hey! It's no use running away.

This shows you where you are!

Everyone! We will punish Jukchang for you!

Let's begin.

Hey, you think this is funny?

Oh, you don't find it funny?

Let's teach him a lesson!

LET'S GET JUKCHANG! JUKCHANG WILL DIE TODAY!

-Butler, can you turn it off? -Yes, Master.

What is it? Do you feel uncomfortable?

I feel like we've created another monster.

Monsters aren't created.

They were always there, lying dormant.

And they wake up whenever there is a good excuse.

You're working hard.

Minister, how did you…

Why are you so startled? It's not like you, Director Jung.

You're here to search and seize, are you?

You're quite amusing.

You think you're that great?

For a Minister of Justice to come here for that herself?

Then did you have a favor to ask me?

You must be mistaken about something,

but I'm here to remind you of where you stand.

Where I stand?

You know it too.

Someone like you

are better suited for standing behind someone

with their hands folded together politely.

When people don't know their place,

their ends aren't always good.

You should speak for yourself, Minister.

Perhaps it's you who doesn't know your place.

Do you honestly believe you're the forerunner for the election?

After what happened to your son?

Don't you think you're being overly confident?

You think you erased your past perfectly, do you?

My past?

Just what is it that you want to talk about?

Why do people around you keep dying, I wonder.

First, your mom when you were 12 years old,

and your dad who'd abandoned his family when you were 20 years old.

And then,

there was Chairman Seo recently, whom you were serving.

I didn't know you wrote fiction.

Your imagination is truly wild.

Stick to what you do best.

I heard you used to be a maid.

How crude.

I'll be seeing you again.

Yes, Seon-a.

Kang Yo-han leaked info about me to Cha Gyeong-hui.

-What? -Look into it.

No way, not Kang Yo-han…

Just shut up and look into it!

Stand in my way, and you'll pay the price.

It looks like you worked hard all this time.

Would you be okay with that?

I'm going to kill him.

Kang Yo-han…

I'm going to rip him to pieces!

THANK YOU TO JUNG EUN-PYO AND PARK HYOUNG-SOO

FOR THEIR SPECIAL APPEARANCE

Give them no choice but to point their swords at each other?

Hello, Young Master.

That's why I thought it might be fun playing a game with you.

Will she take your hand?

You have one week.

Bring me what I want.

She may side with Cha Gyeong-hui in the end.

The start.

She'll testify that Kang Yo-han forced her to commit perjury.

Isn't that too risky? You said she's unpredictable.

Even if we risk our everything, it's do or die.

You're scared of me?

That's too bad.
