- Sir! - Just a comment, please!

I summoned the powerful Cho Tae Sub...

to prove that he is nothing but a despicable scumbag.

I can't wait to see the cards you're holding.

I have finished the job.

I will handle him as instructed.

If you had one more life remaining,

would you use it to arrest Cho Tae Sub again?

Promise me.

Can you make him suffer?

To take him down,

my life began again.

Hey.

You still haven't changed your playbook.

That's too outdated. It's boring.

Who are you?

Is that important right now?

I asked who you were.

Someone who knows you very well.

Have we met before?

Yes.

And...

I died at your hands.

You have mistaken me for someone else.

I had never failed.

Right. You didn't fail.

I just resurrected like a miracle.

I was gravely wronged and furious.

So even death grazed past me.

How funny.

Then I expect you to do the same again.

Are you dense?

If that was the case, I wouldn't have gotten involved.

You jerk!

I won't let him beat me twice.

I see what he's doing.

Great. I think I can do this.

Darn, he's strong.

Do you work out?

A little.

I won't lie. I'm surprised.

No one has made me this flustered before.

Right?

I feel like I've duelled with you hundreds of times.

Get ready for more surprises.

A real fight is different from a match.

You're too chatty.

Bring it on.

You sneaky scumbag. That's cheating!

I warned you that a real fight was different from a match.

Fine.

I will teach you a serious lesson today.

You're lucky.

Hee Woo! Hey, are you all right?

Black Suit, that scumbag!

- Where's Seung Hyuk? - Prosecutor Gu?

Seung Hyuk!

- Prosecutor Gu! - Seung Hyuk.

- Are you all right? - Yes, I'm okay.

Sang Man, we should take him to the hospital at once.

Okay, I'll go bring the car around.

Okay.

Hey, can you get up? Good.

Let's go.

- Here, have some water. - Thanks.

(Episode 13)

Do you have pain anywhere else?

No, I'm fine.

You fool.

Hey, Seung Hyuk.

Hey.

Are you all right?

Gosh, thank goodness he's okay.

Look at his face. It's a mess.

It's a mess?

Well, I'm just saying.

He broke a rib, but that's it.

I may not be a good fighter, but I can take a punch.

Who is this jerk that dared to hurt a prosecutor like this?

You were lucky today.

I know. He wasn't a mere thug.

While he was beating me up, I thought I might actually die.

I'll call the police and request cooperation.

Let's check the security footage and find out who he is first.

Hold on.

You two, can you step out for a moment?

- Sure. - Okay.

What is it?

Don't tell me you're going to ask us to back down.

That's right.

Kyu Ri, return to the office at once and release Kim Young Il.

As of this moment,

you two are to take your hands off the JQ Constructions case.

- Hey, Kim Hee Woo. - What are you talking about?

Are you telling us to stop just because of a thug?

Yes. Even better if you'd say you stopped because you were scared.

- Hey. - Hey.

Kim Kyu Ri, Gu Seung Hyuk.

Just trust me and take your hands off the case.

I give you my word...

that I'll finish it off.

Please do as I say.

Please?

(Again My Life)

I can't wait to see the new future of the prosecution you will build.

I will never forget your kindness, sir.

- Sir. - Yes.

I'm really sorry,

but I have a question for you.

Sure.

The person who told you about the investigation on Bando Bank.

Was it Kim Hee Woo?

Kim Hee Woo?

He's a competent prosecutor.

Quick-witted and capable.

And he makes smart judgements, which is rare for his age.

I suppose that's why you got the wrong idea.

Did you think I wouldn't be able to see through him?

I must've come across as quite heedless.

I can't help but see a lot of things in my position.

I also hear a lot of things.

Your thoughts and what you're up to...

are no exception.

- I apologize, sir. - No apology needed.

- Just do better from now on. - Yes, sir.

Sir.

Yes.

- I'll be off, then. - All right.

What is it?

The job failed.

It failed?

Someone intervened,

and the cops got involved too.

We're checking all the security cameras in the vicinity.

Sir.

Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo would like to meet with you now.

- Kim Hee Woo? - Yes.

Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo is here.

Come in.

I'm sorry to bother you so late, sir.

- Is there a problem? - Yes.

What is it?

I got into a fight.

A fight?

Yes. The prosecutor who arrested JQ's Kim Young Il...

is a friend of mine.

I went to persuade him to stop the investigation...

but ran into an unidentified attacker.

- An unidentified attacker? - Yes.

And you got into a fight with that attacker?

Yes.

So? Did you manage to persuade your friend?

Yes, I did. Kim Young Il will be released tonight.

And both of the prosecutors...

promised to take their hands off the case.

Is that why you came to see me?

No, sir.

I wanted to hear your thoughts on something.

My thoughts?

Yes. I was taught...

that a prosecutor must suspect everything.

And?

My fellow prosecutor was assaulted.

So of course,

I'll do whatever it takes to track down that attacker.

But suddenly, I had this thought.

Perhaps, that unidentified attacker...

could be working for you.

- What did you say? - I apologize if I'm mistaken.

I just wanted...

to rule out the suspicion.

I didn't want to make a move until you gave me the go-ahead.

Do I have your permission to track down that attacker?

Or should I cover it up?

I will do as you say, sir.

Don't track him down.

So could I go ahead and assume that he is working for you, sir?

You're still young and have a lot to learn.

I meant that I will track him down myself. Are we good now?

Understood.

I will obey your instructions, sir.

You look quite tired.

- You should get some rest. - Yes, sir.

Kim Seok Hoon will be the next Prosecutor General.

Will you be all right?

The man you wanted to bring down will be the next Prosecutor General.

If that is what you decided to do, I trust your judgement.

- Is that so? - Yes.

Your unbending trust in me and everything you've been through.

This time, I'd really like to give you a reward to repay you.

Tell me anything you want.

It's okay, sir.

It's okay?

All right, then. You may leave now.

- Hey, Kyu Ri. - We've released Kim Young Il.

Thanks for trusting me.

Make sure your plan goes off without a hitch.

Will do.

Got it.

Managing Director Kim Young Il has been released.

Is that right?

Director Han, what do you think of Kim Hee Woo?

He seems like the type to always accomplish what he set out to do.

I like him.

You see, those who come to me...

always whine and complain.

All they do is pester me to solve their problems.

But Kim Hee Woo isn't like that.

He comes to me with solutions instead of problems.

However, there's one thing that bothers me.

He says he wants nothing.

He's a young prosecutor.

Most people his age are clueless.

At that age, he should be brimming with ambition and aspiration.

He graduated top of his class,

and even the cases that he's handled so far...

tell me that he's no ordinary kid.

On top of that,

he figured out the connection between me,

Park Dae Ho, and Bando Bank...

as well as the fact that I was the one who sent the attacker.

From time to time, he catches me off guard like this.

He's really something.

And he knows that he's smart.

But there's nothing he wants.

- Director Kim. - Yes, sir.

Find someone who can keep him in check.

Someone within the prosecution.

Someone who is capable and special.

Got it, sir.

As for the scared puppies in the Eastern District Office,

- just leave them be. - Understood, sir.

(JQ Kim Young Il Released, Cleared of Charges)

(Prosecutor General Nominee Kim Seok Hoon)

("Uphold Principles and Integrity")

(Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon)

Don't worry about your son. I'll take care of it.

Yoon Jong Gi is standing in the way of your future.

You get rid of him.

Come in.

I heard you asked for me, sir.

The investigation on Bando Bank. Drop it.

- Pardon me? - They caught on,

so there's no point.

Understood, sir.

But I'll give you a new target.

I have no doubt that you can get him.

Bring me...

Yoon Jong Gi at the Eastern District Office.

- Do you understand? - Yes, sir.

- Get started on it. - Yes, sir.

(Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon)

It's me, sir.

Bring down Kim Seok Hoon?

Correct.

But how?

(Loan Agreement)

- This is... - Yes.

It's a document concerning the illegal loan granted...

to Kim Seok Hoon's son, Kim Young Il, by Bando Bank.

The prosecution can no longer use it,

but I believe it still holds value for politicians.

Are you saying we should expose this?

No.

Show it to Mr. Kim Jung Taek and give him a little nudge.

Give him a nudge?

But would he want...

to bog Kim Seok Hoon down with this?

The general election is coming up,

and no one can predict how the situation could change.

Although he is the leader of a weak opposition party,

he has tasted what it's like to have power,

so he may be...

aspiring for bigger things.

For now, just give him a little nudge.

Please, sir.

All right.

I'm sorry, sir.

I can't tell you everything yet.

Kim Seok Hoon is the bait,

and Kim Jung Taek is my target.

In my previous life, Kim Jung Taek...

was brutally ousted by Cho Tae Sub.

After being arrested for spreading false information...

due to the allegations he made against Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub...

for being the culprit behind the illegal loan case...

involving JQ Constructions' Kim Young Il and Bando Bank,

Kim Jung Taek has announced that he is retiring from politics.

I spread incorrect information and caused you all concern.

For that, I sincerely apologize.

(Kim Jung Taek of Daehan Party Delivers Formal Apology)

I am now retiring from politics.

Thank you for all your support over the years.

(Kim Jung Taek, Former Leader of Daehan Party)

Now, I've laid the groundwork to get rid of Kim Jung Taek.

(Loan Agreement)

(Daehan Party)

(Daehan Party, Building a Better Korea)

Is this true?

Yes, all of it.

Feel free to check with the Eastern District Prosecutors' Office.

But why are you bringing this to my attention?

How much longer must we bend over backwards for Cho Tae Sub...

and be the ruling party's mere puppet?

Cho Tae Sub has been dragging us through the mud.

Even when the sexual bribery scandal broke out,

everyone in the Minguk Party was let off,

but two members of our party...

lost their seats in the National Assembly.

Cho Tae Sub has already decided that Kim Seok Hoon...

will be appointed the next Prosecutor General. And of course,

he's already persuaded the Legislation and Judiciary Committee.

Now, he wants complete control over the prosecution too,

not just the National Assembly.

We must stop him.

Before the general election, we'll use Kim Seok Hoon...

to blemish the ruling party's reputation.

Then we'll ride the momentum...

and make them look like a group of corrupt politicians.

Then we may be able to win the most seats in the upcoming election.

Assemblyman Hwang.

Stop sticking your nose into other people's business.

I suggest you look after the people first.

Otherwise, the call for nominations...

You may lose your constituency.

(Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub)

Now, if you'll excuse me. This is an important call.

Hello, sir.

I see. Sure.

(Assemblyman Hwang Jin Yong)

Hello, sir.

I've handed it over to Kim Jung Taek.

He doesn't seem convinced though.

I see. Thank you.

A new gust of wind is coming.

How have you been? You look great.

It's been a while, sir.

Anyway, what did you want to talk to me about?

It's about the upcoming general election.

The nominations for the Daehan Party.

- Yes, sir. - Let's discuss...

who should be nominated.

- Sir. - Mr. Kim.

The way this country is right now. Do you think it's normal?

Let me rephrase the question.

Do you think it'll be normal if we keep this up?

Must the political parties always fight as if they're enemies?

Because of the useless ego battles,

this nation is losing its competitive edge.

All the other countries are advancing quickly,

but look at the mess we're in.

People put off getting married and don't want to have kids.

Young people have given up on getting jobs.

Why?

Because the assemblymen are busy fighting...

instead of doing their jobs.

The ruling and opposition parties must join forces now.

Bipartisan cooperation is mandatory.

You and I will open...

this new era of bipartisanship.

I hope we can...

work together toward the same goal without having to fight.

I understand. However, I cannot discuss the nominations...

with a member of the Minguk Party.

If there were no problems,

we wouldn't be having this meeting now.

- Director Han. - Yes, sir.

(Report on Kim Jung Taek, Leader of Daehan Party)

(Investigation Results)

I thought we were done talking about this.

On the condition that you'd cover this up,

I handed over Assemblyman Hwang's list...

of Minguk Party members who committed corrupt deeds.

And that was a fair deal.

I agreed to it to protect my party, whereas you...

You did it to cover up what you had done.

See the next page.

(Took bribes from Geosung and Hanbit Constructions)

You took bribes for another government-run project.

From two construction companies. A million dollars each.

And word has it that...

you're using your nomination rights to earn extra money on the side.

Sir!

Mr. Kim, I used to be a prosecutor.

I cannot continue to turn a blind eye to unlawful deeds.

I suggest...

you discuss with me before you submit your nominations.

Darn it.

(Daehan Party, Building a Better Korea)

(Party Leader Kim Jung Taek)

(JQ Constructions' Loan Issued by Bando Bank)

Hello. It's me, Kim Jung Taek.

Can we meet?

(JQ Constructions' Loan Issued by Bando Bank)

(JQ Constructions' Loan Issued by Bando Bank)

How did you get this?

I'll get straight to the point, Chief Yoon.

Let's join hands.

There's too big a risk.

You know that.

It means there's a lot to be gained if we succeed.

You'll be the next Prosecutor General,

and I'll be able to solidify my position.

We tried to use this but couldn't.

However, no one in politics has made an issue of this yet.

So you will raise the issue?

Yes.

I will bring the truth to light.

I just need you to bring it to justice.

Then you'll see your name, Yoon Jong Gi,

on the nameplate for the next Prosecutor General.

I see.

The prosecution doesn't always...

have to be the one bringing the truth to light.

If you can promise me your support,

I will also do my best.

Thank you.

Okay, thank you.

- Revise the parts that I marked. - Yes, sir.

Sir, Mr. Park Dae Ho just called.

Kim Young Il wishes to take out a loan for his business...

using his shares in Chunha Holdings.

Tell him to decline the request.

Kim Seok Hoon will take care of it.

Yes, sir.

- Director Han. - Yes, sir.

The Chunha siblings have been quiet.

Should I tell Vice Chairman Kim Yong Jun to come and see you?

Just drop a line to say hello.

- Understood, sir. - Good.

Ma'am.

The National Tax Service...

sent a special investigation team to Chunha Electronics.

What?

Just Chunha Electronics? Or other subsidiaries too?

Just Chunha Electronics.

They're targeting Yong Jun.

And I bet Cho Tae Sub is behind it.

It was so sudden.

No one saw it coming.

So? Where is Yong Jun now?

He is meeting with the finance team to come up with a plan.

- He got it all wrong. - Pardon me?

Cho Tae Sub is sending a signal...

that Yong Jun must come and see him.

He wants to tighten the leash on Yong Jun.

I need...

to give a signal to Cho Tae Sub too.

I'll show him that it won't be easy to keep us on a leash.

I'll do exactly what Cho Tae Sub did.

My gosh, I was so surprised when I saw that.

So? What's the amount you need urgently?

Well, 200 million dollars.

- Two hundred million? - Yes.

I can't. It's too much.

The Financial Supervisory Service...

is keeping a close watch on business loans, so it'll be hard.

Mr. Park, that's not what we discussed last time.

You know I own shares in Chunha Holdings.

What can I do? The FSS is monitoring us with their eyes peeled.

Don't waste your time trying to persuade me.

Why don't you ask your mom for some pocket money?

Or try begging one of the rich shareholders.

Figure it out.

That's your company, not mine.

(Kim Young Il, Managing Director)

(JQ Constructions 13th Business Brief)

(Introduction)

How many JQ shares have we secured?

About 3.4 percent.

Start approaching Kim Young Il.

With the shares you hold, one call and he'll grovel at your feet.

Okay.

But there's something you should know, Hee Woo.

A successful private investor came into the picture.

The investor's been snatching away a ton during after-hours.

I can't do anything about it.

Did you find out who it is?

It was a struggle. I think it's Park Jong Hyuk.

Park Jong Hyuk?

Okay. He might show up tomorrow, so watch closely.

Yes, sir.

Yeon Seok. You'll be Sang Man's secretary slash driver.

I'll be his bodyguard too.

I saw people getting physical there on the news.

All right. Keep him safe.

Are you here for the business briefing?

Yes, I am.

- Name, please? - It's Park Sang Man.

CEO Park Sang Man.

I'm Shin Dae Yong. JQ Constructions' Executive Director.

I see.

Our Managing Director is waiting for you.

- Please follow me. - Okay.

Welcome, sir.

This is Managing Director Kim Young Il.

- Hello. - It's nice to meet you, sir.

(Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo)

What is it?

They must be in a hurry.

He said his father will become prosecutor general...

and asked that I invest.

I promised to invest with shares as collateral.

Okay. Don't go home too late.

Okay, I'll go home early tomorrow morning.

Gosh.

Are you not going to the gym today?

I was about to.

What is that?

I take this before I work out.

That's a striking colour.

Here. Two pills each.

[VIU Ver] SBS E13 'Again My Life'
"Kim Seok Hoon’s Confirmation Hearing"
-♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Thank you.

No problem. Take your time then.

Is something bothering you?

Kim Seok Hoon has been named the next prosecutor general.

- It's a disgrace to prosecutors. - Are you sure?

My colleague at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office told me.

Gosh, all that hard work gathering evidence will go down the drain.

Kim Seok Hoon's path seems smoothly paved.

We'll have to make it a rough one.

How?

We'll get help from the outside.

The outside?

Kim Jung Taek, the leader of Daehan Party.

- Kim Jung Taek? - Yes.

It's always been...

a politician's forte to use their opponent's corruption case.

I don't trust politicians.

Also, that might not be enough.

There's a better way than that.

Sir. JQ Constructions' corruption files...

are in Daehan Party Leader, Kim Jung Taek's hands.

- Who leaked it? - We're still looking into it.

We first checked the lead prosecutor at the Eastern District Office...

and Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo.

It's been confirmed neither of them...

approached Kim Jung Taek or his acquaintances.

We suspect it might be Chief Prosecutor Yoon Jong Gi.

He might be acting out against...

the recent internal decision on the next prosecutor general.

- Run a thorough investigation. - Yes, sir.

Sir. Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon is here.

Come on in.

Hello.

Congratulations, soon-to-be Prosecutor General.

- Thank you, sir. - You're welcome.

There'll be a hearing soon. Prepare for it well.

I put in a good word to the Legislation and Judiciary Committee.

It will all go smoothly, as long as you're prepared.

Yes, sir. I'll prepare thoroughly so I don't embarrass you.

Make sure you are scandal-free until then.

I will, sir.

And about Kim Jung Taek.

Sir?

It's the corruption regarding Kim Jung Taek's nomination.

The more issues, the better.

Don't prosecute him, just investigate.

I'll decide when to prosecute him. Understand?

I understand, sir.

(Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office)

Come in.

You called for me, sir?

Yes.

I'm going to become Prosecutor General.

Congratulations, sir.

That's not why I asked to see you.

We're almost there.

The ideal prosecution that I've been dreaming of.

It will come to fruition soon.

Which is why,

I'd like you to do something.

Hand over Yoon Jong Gi's case to Choi Kang Jin.

(Daehan Party Leader, Kim Jung Taek. Nomination Corruption File)

It's about Daehan Party Leader, Kim Jung Taek's corruption.

Check the facts...

and find out everything about Kim Jung Taek.

That's your job.

Yes, sir.

Get going.

It's done. Now it's Assemblyman Hwang Jin Yong's turn.

You want me to become the Party Leader?

Yes, sir.

I'd like for you to become the leader of Daehan Party.

That means you want me to overthrow Kim Jung Taek.

I don't want to.

Take a look.

(Daehan Party Leader, Kim Jung Taek. Nomination Corruption File)

A man like this is leading the opposition party.

It's no surprise they can't beat Cho Tae Sub.

How...

did you get this?

I received an order from Chief Prosecutor Kim.

He told me to find out everything...

about Kim Jung Taek's life.

I'm sure it was actually Cho Tae Sub's orders.

It means Kim Jung Taek has been looking into...

Bando Bank's illegal loan case.

The flame you started is finally starting to catch on.

Did you plan this...

to make me the party leader?

And that's why you asked me to hand Kim Jung Taek that file?

Yes.

I apologize for not disclosing this.

I'm sorry, sir.

It's fine.

So tell me.

What's your move now?

I plan to help Cho Tae Sub...

and catch Kim Jung Taek.

I'll help him then cut off Kim Seok Hoon, his right hand man.

Then I'll get Assemblyman Hwang to represent the opposition party.

I will make him Cho Tae Sub's greatest rival.

Please become the party leader.

Hee Woo.

You just crossed the line.

Do you like to fish?

At this reservoir,

you can only catch a big fish once the sun sets...

and the evening dew forms.

You have to throw in your bait,

gather up the paste bait, and wait until then.

Just wait a little bit.

It will be night in no time...

and the evening dew will form.

I'm sorry, sir.

The trigger has already been pulled.

My gosh.

You caught a big one before the evening dew formed.

You'll see the same success at the National Assembly also.

Yes, Sang Man. What's up?

I found something strange, Hee Woo.

- What is it? - Remember that guy,

the successful private investor, Park Jong Hyuk?

I hacked into his information and dug around a bit.

It turns out his IP address is...

Are you sure?

Okay.

(Director Kim Hee A)

Prosecutor Kim is here.

Welcome. Your call caught me off guard.

What brings you here?

I had to confirm something.

- Confirm something? - Yes.

I'll leave you two.

Hold on.

I would like to talk to Park Jong Hyuk.

(Office of the Director of Management and Strategy)

I was going to tell you in due time. You beat me to it.

I simply gave Cho Tae Sub, Park Dae Ho, and Kim Young Il...

a taste of their own medicine.

My name is too public so I asked Mr. Park.

He was a former special agent,

so he's been using the pseudonym Park Jin Hyuk...

instead of his real name, Park Jong Hyuk.

He was perfect for this plan.

I see.

I had no idea it was the Mr. Park I knew.

I thought another major shareholder came into the picture.

I'm sorry I caused you confusion.

It's fine.

This happened because I didn't know your real name.

On the other hand, I'm impressed by your Intel source.

You should be.

But if I noticed, I'm sure Cho Tae Sub did too.

He'll find out soon.

This might put you in danger.

The only reason Cho Tae Sub didn't mess with you...

is because you weren't involved in this.

But you are now.

So?

We have the upper hand now. That's all we should focus on.

You think I didn't have that in mind before I put this into action?

My dad told me something.

"Once the fight starts, only focus on winning."

"Don't mind even if you bleed."

"Just think about crushing the opponent."

I've already joined this fight.

I can't pull out now.

I want to focus on winning, not the dangers of it.

How much of JQ Constructions' shares did you gather up...

through Sang Man?

About 3.4 percent.

- You? - I have two percent.

That means we have over five percent in total.

If we buy a little more...

we should be able to earn voting rights.

Sang Man invested around 20 million dollars...

with JQ Constructions' shares as collateral.

But it seems...

Kim Young Il wants to borrow more.

Borrow more?

He must not know the consequences of debt.

We might be able to take over JQ Constructions.

Relay this to Sang Man.

A rich investor who wants to invest in JQ Constructions...

is waiting for his call.

Okay.

That'll make him happy.

Let me know anytime you need me.

Thank you.

- I'll get going. - Okay.

Here's the contract for the investment.

Kim Young Il wants to borrow more money.

Do it. We have collateral anyway.

Such a large amount makes me uncomfortable.

- Shall I make you more comfortable? - How?

That private investor. It was one of Hee A's people.

Yes! I knew it.

Hee A wants to invest in JQ Constructions with you.

She does?

Are you happy?

- Meet with her and talk about it. - She wants to meet me?

Hee A wants to?

What's going on? Does she like me?

My gosh.

Yes, sir.

I'm on my way to meet Kim Jung Taek.

If things play out as you predicted again,

then I'll give it a try.

I mean, the party leader.

I ran a fact check on the documents you've given me.

Illegal loan transactions between JQ Constructions and Bando Bank.

It turned out to be true.

You asked me...

how long I plan to work as Cho Tae Sub's lackey?

Not long.

That's why I have a favour to ask.

For now,

I plan to fall on my knees in front of Cho Tae Sub.

Please take advantage of the moment he lets his guard down.

(Bando Bank's Loan Transactions to JQ Constructions)

And expose this.

Just like last time.

The result will be different.

We have the prosecution on our side too.

(List of Daehan Party Assemblyman Nominees)

I will do as you say.

It's our party's list of nominees.

Be ready. It'll be exposed soon.

Okay.

(Chief Prosecutor Yoon Jong Gi)

(Bando Bank's Loan Transactions to JQ Constructions)

Cho Tae Sub.

How dare you underestimate me?

(List of Daehan Party Assemblyman Nominees)

He knows my weakness,

yet he pretends to act innocent?

Shall I call Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon?

No, it's not time yet.

If I make a move now, I'll just be lashing out.

I wouldn't gain anything.

Those darn rats.

Thank you for coming here again. I guess you guys like the food here.

My wife cooked up everything in the fridge...

to welcome you guys back. It's been a while.

- Gosh. - Eat a lot.

Gosh. You always pack up food whenever we come here.

We should be thanking you.

You should thank me, not him.

I cooked everything in the kitchen. And it's not easy.

I rule the kitchen. You know?

Lady, my food tastes better.

What are you talking about? Hee Woo. You tell us. Be honest.

Whose food is better? Mine or his?

What?

Mr. Prosecutor, tell us the truth.

- Gosh. - Go ahead.

Well...

Yes. That's it!

When you get married, don't take anyone's side.

- You're better off that way. - Right.

Right. I didn't know that when I was a newlywed.

I told her that my mother's food was better.

And your mother gave me a hard time for that.

But I'm on your side.

I knew it. You're such a thoughtful guy.

A prosecutor who lies must leave the restaurant now.

Get out now.

Come on in.

I wasn't talking to you.

Please sit here.

It's tomorrow.

Kim Seok Hoon's hearing.

Right.

How sweet.

It's been a while since we got together.

Let's not talk shop.

Let's drink.

Okay.

Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon is coming out.

- Goodbye, sir. - Goodbye, sir.

This is not a big deal. Why are you all out here?

We should go, Prosecutor General.

- Goodbye, sir. - Goodbye, sir.

- Goodbye, sir. - Goodbye, sir.

Goodbye, sir.

We will now begin the confirmation hearing...

of the Prosecutor General nominee.

(Confirmation hearing of the Prosecutor General nominee)

"I swear..."

"to tell only the truth..."

"without hiding or exaggerating the truth..."

"as a nominee of a public office during the confirmation hearing,"

"conducted by the National Assembly."

You may now question the nominee.

Making false resident registrations, falsifying contracts,

or committing property speculation. You're free of these suspicions...

just as the Prosecutor General nominee should be.

Thank you.

I am a prosecutor who protects the law.

I have not committed anything that might betray my career.

As you're a member of JQ Group,

people are concerned that you may go easy on the wealthy.

What are your thoughts on this concern?

I can understand where it's coming from.

I have been serving as a prosecutor for over 20 years.

There hasn't been a moment...

I felt tempted to accept bribes or abuse my power.

And I have nothing to do with my wife's family's business.

What do you want to change first when you're appointed?

Well,

our agency comes across as rigid and unapproachable.

I want people to see it as a flexible and friendly agency,

so the people can freely communicate with us.

Hello.

I'm Prosecutor Jeon Seok Kyu of the Central District Office.

I will now begin the briefing about Nominee Kim Seok Hoon's son,

Managing Director Kim Young Il of JQ Constructions.

During this briefing, I'll disclose the corruption behind the bidding...

for the construction site as well as the embezzlement...

of the deposits for apartment units.

Hold on.

Did you run this by the public relations officer?

Hold on. He's in the confirmation hearing...

to be the Prosecutor General.

You'll go after his son?

Why does that matter?

Isn't reporting the truth the spirit of our job?

If you don't want to publish this, get out.

I'll report the truth by myself.

It'll be an exclusive.

Go ahead, Prosecutor Jeon Seok Kyu.

Criminal Investigation Division Five...

noticed a sign of collusion between public and private sectors...

and the unlawful involvement of civil servants...

during the bidding process of development areas...

in Gusan and launched an investigation.

JQ Constructions colluded with its competitor to win the bidding.

And they were able to win it with the lowest price.

And they offered bribes to civil servants...

who looked away from this corruption.

On top of that, they also embezzled the deposits for apartment units.

Given the degree of their crimes, they must be punished severely.

Is there anyone else who would like to question him?

(Cho Tae Sub)

I know it will be hard, but please stay until the end.

We have breaking news.

You should check.

- What? - What is it?

Sir, take a look.

("Arrest Warrant Issued for Managing Director Kim Young Il")

Mr. Kim Seok Hoon.

It's been confirmed that your son, Managing Director Kim Young Il,

indeed committed corruption.

What is your statement on this?

Answer the question.

You guys didn't know...

about this briefing.

Sir.

You guys are my last line of defence.

In case something goes wrong with us.

Stop it. Don't look at me like that.

My wife asked me how much longer I'll be working as a prosecutor.

I'm sure you know. I'll never get promoted.

But I come home at midnight at the earliest.

And my children tell me...

they'd be better off with a stranger.

I have no regrets here.

Come on, guys.

Don't make that face.

I did my years for my pension.

Drink up.

What will you do?

The country is flooded with distrust against the agency.

Don't tell me you will keep pushing for it.

What should I do?

Resign.

- Sir. - Are you asking me to help you?

Is that even possible now?

My son has shares of Chunha Holdings.

I'll hand them over to you.

Why?

I want them to be used for national gains.

National gains?

- Director Han. - Yes, sir.

Leak the corruption file on Kim Jung Taek.

Yes, sir.

You go back and bring down Kim Jung Taek.

Cover up your name with his name.

Thank you, sir.

But that won't be enough.

It won't even make a dent.

The shareholders of JQ Constructions and the victims...

won't forget this case.

There's only one way.

If there's a problem, remove the cause.

You have a great precedent.

Choi Kang Jin.

He reported his own father.

Bring him down with your own hands.

Sir.

Your son broke the law, so you must punish him.

You do it before the others get their hands on him.

And think about the rest once you become...

the Prosecutor General.

You can get him out on probation.

Or keep him in prison.

That's up to you.

You must become a righteous prosecutor.

I'll help you with the public sentiment.

And Jeon Seok Kyu.

- Yes? - Don't do anything to him.

Right now, you should embrace him.

And once things quiet down, you can kick him out then.

Yes, sir.

Come on in.

Did you want to see me?

Kim Young Il.

Bring him in.

Now.

Yes, sir.

You were supposed to expose him!

Why didn't you bring up the illegal loan from Bando Bank?

Mr. Kim.

I'm not your lapdog.

Did you really think I wouldn't figure it out?

So you wanted me to expose him.

Then what is your role in this?

This is probably what you had in mind.

You wanted me to take a risky move,

so if this went wrong,

you would pretend you weren't part of it.

Did you think I wouldn't see through your evil intention?

Mr. Hwang!

Someone like you doesn't deserve to represent our party.

- Resign. - Hwang Jin Yong!

Sir.

("Kim Jung Taek Soon to Be Summoned For Corruption Charges")

Darn it.

(Chief Prosecutor Yoon Jong Gi)

(Daehan Party Leader Kim Jung Taek)

(Daehan Party Leader Kim Jung Taek)

I can't go down with you.

(Chief Prosecutor Yoon Jong Gi)

Hwang Jin Yong and even the Tiger, Jeon Seok Kyu,

didn't even touch the Bando Bank case...

to find a way to get out of this alive?

- A comment, sir! - Any comments?

- Please answer our questions! - Tell us the truth!

- Please one comment! - Are the allegations true?

- Did you know about this? - Do you admit to the charges?

- Sir! A comment! - Please answer our questions.

Managing Director Kim Young Il of JQ Constructions was arrested...

and released by the Eastern District Prosecutors' Office,

but he was once again arrested...

by the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office today.

His father, Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon...

of the Central District Prosecutors' Office,

was the one who ordered the arrest.

Chief Prosecutor Kim shared in his briefing...

that although this was a terrible incident,

he tried to fulfill his duty as a prosecutor.

Sir, they've arrived.

- Is he here too? - Yes, sir.

Bring him in.

This way.

Hello.

Gosh. This is a nice ride.

What do you want?

How about a downgrade for the day?

I'm here to escort you to the office.

Prosecutor Lee Min Soo.

Isn't it time that you give up already?

I got a warrant for you again.

(Arrest warrant)

I won't give up...

until you end up in jail. Never.

Mirae Electronics' CEO Jeon Il Bo...

stood trial for bribery and a violation...

of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes...

and was released on probation in his first trial.

But he was arrested once again for another charge by the prosecution.

Go ahead.

Did you come here to say hello?

So you could order a fancy meal for him again?

Too bad.

You can't this time.

He's mine.

I'll be the one feeding him and punishing him.

So don't get involved.

If you do,

you will rot in prison too.

This time,

I won't play nice.

Jeon Il Bo got arrested?

Did Kim Seok Hoon allow this?

I'm sorry. It's not easy to keep Lee Min Soo under control.

As for Jeon Il Bo...

Follow the law.

He committed a lot of crimes.

And bringing down Jeon Il Bo will look great in your resume...

for your future title.

- Yes, sir. - Okay.

- Hee Woo. - Yes?

I would have chosen the fun path if I hadn't met you.

But not now.

I found something even more fun now.

Going head-to-head with you.

I'm working for Cho Tae Sub now.

I know.

He was the one who cornered my father.

But back then, Cho Tae Sub was just a prosecutor.

And he was doing his job.

- Min Soo. - Don't worry.

I'll help you get Kim Seok Hoon out of the running.

No questions asked.

That way, it will be a fair game.

Right, brother?

You'll help me get Kim Seok Hoon out of the running?

Our last case as partners.

And you want to go head-to-head against me?

Right.

Sure. Sounds good to me.

Let's do it.

(Again My Life)

Let's kick Kim Seok Hoon out fast.

Don't kneel!

Are you going to use him as an excuse?

He saw my weakness.

So I need to know at least one of his.

If you want a deal, bring me something worthy,

not your threat.

Our partnership ends today.

Sit.

If you leave now, it won't end with you going home.

Next, I must get rid of Park Dae Ho,

Cho Tae Sub's source of funds.
