That bastard.

How dare he go there?

-Who is it?
-I'm not expecting anyone.

Wait here.

Who is it?

I'm from the repair company.

Water is leaking from your bathroom
to the apartment below.

But we never called you.

Well… That's strange.

One minute.

Hello?

I'm at the studio apartment right now.

But the tenant said
he wasn't aware that I was coming.

Okay. Hold on. I'll put him on the phone.

Sir. Would you like to speak to her?

One minute.

Here you go.

Hello?

Who is this?

Oh, Prosecutor Song.

- Of course I remember you.
- Ah.

The maintenance office called.

The tenant below complained
about a leak in the ceiling.

I found it odd because I knew
Mr. Ha wasn't home.

Goodness, don't be sorry.

Let's grab a meal sometime with Mr. Ha.

Okay. Goodbye.

But why is his brother there?

Hello, ma'am.

Ms. Lee, I was almost at the office

when I got into a car accident.
I think I'll just go home from here.

Is everything all right?

What? Who's there?

A reporter who came to interview Mr. Ha.

Apparently you knew about it.

What are you talking about? I knew?

Yes, ma'am.

What? When did he leave?

Take a seat.

What's there to talk about
in the chairman's office?

We'll be in trouble
if the chairman finds out.

If you're well aware of it,
why did you do that?

What were you doing here

at 10 p.m. yesterday?

Cat got your tongue?

I'm asking you what you were doing here

at 10 p.m. last night.

Don't try to lie.

Mr. Kim over there
saw everything in real time.

I wasn't trying to tattle on you.

But she already knew about it.

I'm sorry, sir.

You're sorry? Why would you apologize?

Are you two scheming something?

No, ma'am. We're not.

Then why did you lie for him?

Why did you lie
and tell Mr. Park that it was me?

Because--

This has nothing to do with him.

Mm.

So you were up to something.

All right. Then what did you do here...

all by yourself?

Answer me.

Charles XIII Rare Cask.

The king of cognac.

I wanted a taste of that limited edition.

So you're telling me that
you secretly drank the chairman's liquor?

It was merely a small sip.
You can't even tell.

I had no idea. I was worried about you.

What's so funny?

You should've reported it to me
right away.

How dare you keep it from me?

You could get sacked for this.

Sacked?

Ms. Oh, please be merciful
and turn a blind eye to it this once.

I'll go by the rules.

Ms. Kwon will hear about this
as soon as she returns.

I'm not asking you to forgive me.

Please turn a blind eye just this once.

You've always adored me.

I did.

But this is strictly work-related.

Ms. Oh.

Let go.

What should I do?

When's the arrival time?

Ms. Kwon will arrive around 6 p.m.

Not her.

The toilet is usually the problem.

The leak occurs
when the silicone on the bottom falls off.

You knew exactly where the bathroom was.

You couldn't even see it
from the front door.

Sorry? All the buildings
around here are similar.

I often came
to this neighborhood for repairs.

You can wait outside.

I'm afraid this will take some time.

I don't trust him.

Why are you doing this?

Sir.

Hold on.

Wait.

Why are you doing this?

- Shut up.
- Why are you doing this?

What's going on?

Shut up.

Ma'am, please call the police. Okay?

Don't believe him.

I'm going to make him talk.

Prosecutor Song, why are you doing this?

They even attacked the SIH.

They'll get to us too.

But he's just here to fix something.
He's just a repairman.

He's being suspicious,
and the timing was strange.

Trust your gut instinct.

What if we're wrong?

That's possible.
But I've been right more often than not.

Sir, please don't hurt me.

Hey, you're from Team A, aren't you?

Team A? I work for a repair company.

Don't you dare lie.

Wait--

Damn it.

It's an emergency. I'm going in.

Tell me.

Look. There's nothing suspicious here.

What's all this?

They're components for the toilet.

I brought them just in case.

Weren't you trying to install a bug?

No, sir.

You're not fooling me.

-You little--
-Sir!

Stop this! Come to your senses!

You need to become a lunatic
to deal with one.

This is no time to mind my manners!

Keep this up, and I'm out.

Gosh.

Hey, spill the truth if you want to live.

I'm sorry for everything.

Who are you?

Answer me.

Who are you?

I'm a repairman.

So you want to take this all the way?

Fine.

Damn it.

Tell me.

You're smiling?

Look at you glaring at me.

- Go on.
- What?

Keep going.

Do you think Ha Woosin will be safe?

Did you just mention my brother?

You bastard.

Open up!

Open up!

Open up!

What took the SIH so long to come?

Damn you!

God, you're so slow.

We didn't want to believe it.
Were we bait?

Did you want Team A to find us?

You could've easily tracked us
with the cameras around the cabin,

but you were nowhere to be seen.

That's how we knew you were observing us.

You were waiting
for Team A to attack us first.

And this kid must be one of your guys.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry, sir.

Watch what you say, bastard.

Lead the way to headquarters.

It's not up to me.

I wasn't talking to you.

Are you listening, Mr. Kang?

Do you remember Dangsan Railway Bridge?

I won't be fooled twice.

Bring them over.

Get rid of all the footage on Song

since our operation fell through.

Yes, sir.

What's the point in doing Team A a favor?

They're slower than I thought.

Hello, sir.

Sir, we were a second too late.

You failed to get the last footage
of Song Suhyeon's whereabouts?

The SIH got their hands
on it first. I'm sorry.

Okay. It's all good.

- Sir?
- Things became simpler.

We just need to track the SIH
to get to Song Suhyeon.

Yes, sir.

This is Lee Changwoo's case file.

Is this it? Did you get everything?

We got the case file,
legal records, and evidence.

We got everything.

This photo…

Dispose of the rest. Do it yourself.

Yes, sir.

I still don't have a clear answer.

I get that it's his job as a prosecutor.

But what about that writer?

Why is he so fixated on a case
from 22 years ago?

It's not like
his dead father will come back.

He wasn't even
their real father at that. So why?

LEFT, WOOSIN
RIGHT, SUHYEON

The father...

couldn't differentiate the twins?

Song Soonho

had this photo with him
when he went to Lee Changwoo.

But why?

This is Security.

I see. Okay.

Phone three connects to the head office.

Mr. Kim.

Mr. Choi.

What was the call about
that you're rushing to the mansion?

Oh, that? It was nothing important.

What is that?

Drink up. It's chamomile tea.

What is it this time?

Jeez. Don't drink it if you don't want to.

Put it down.

Mr. Ha. About the Adamas…

What if you steal it and it turns out
not to be the murder weapon?

Then it's a failed op.

Why would you say that?
It's actually the opposite.

Can't we just sell it and split the money?

Lee Dongrim.

It's a helicopter.
The chairman must be back.

Wrong. Ms. Kwon wouldn't be coming late
if that was the chairman.

She'd be here already.

I was told that Ms. Eun would arrive soon.

So why were you headed
to the mansion after that call?

For Mr. Ha.

Mr. Ha?

Yes. He wanted to know
when she was arriving.

I'm tired. It's been a long day.

Should I run a bath?

Sounds great.

Right.

Where's Mr. Ha?

What? Ms. Hyesoo looked for Mr. Ha
as soon as she returned?

Yes, ma'am. She had a message
from the chairman.

-Which was?
-Sorry?

I'm not sure.

Why can't you be a decent spy

and know exactly what to do?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Forget it. Get going.

Hurry up. Ms. Kwon will be here
any moment now.

Come in.

The Adamas isn't here.

Ms. Kwon took it.

I know.

You do?

I saw a jewelry designer's portfolio

in the chairman's office.

That means only one thing.

He wants to recraft it.

Well, you spoiled everything.

I went to Ms. Jang myself
to find out about that.

Patti Jang?

Yes.

But the Adamas
was moved elsewhere by the company.

Is the chairman stepping down
from his position?

Is his son taking over?

So that's it.

When my time is over…

The day I retire,
I will hand it over to my son.

Like a crown?

He has to inherit the symbol of Haesong

for him to be its rightful owner.

The 80th-anniversary ceremony
is probably the day,

given how they're rushing it.

I didn't know that.

Anyway, this is bad news.

The Adamas' shape will change
once it's recrafted.

Then it'll be meaningless
to compare it with the autopsy result.

What's your plan now?

I need to find out where it's stored
as soon as possible.

Before the recrafting begins.

Should I look into it?

No. Leave it up to us.

Us?

About Ms. Oh…

What about her?

Something happened this afternoon.

Can you help me?

With pleasure.

What is this?

It's a bribe.

A bribe?

My having a sip of the chairman's liquor
in his office.

Please sweep it under the rug.

How rude of you.

Are you trying to buy me off with this?

She's been working as a maid
for the past 40 years.

She has tended
to many conglomerate families.

Don't expect her to have a heart.

She rarely bats an eye
at anything.

She's bold and cold-hearted.

You're saying someone like her was
Ms. Kwon's right hand for over a decade?

Was everything fine?

Yes, ma'am.
There was nothing out of the ordinary.

Why do you think
she has obeyed her all these years?

This is just all in good faith.

Mm.

It'd be rude of me to decline.

I may reject a bribe
but not something given in good faith.

I'll give you a freebie
since this is our first deal.

I'm just saying this out of kindness.

Be wary of Ms. Yoon.

Ms. Yoon?

She was the one who recommended you.

Ms. Yoon?

Yes. That's what Ms. Oh said.
I don't know why though.

It all worked out for the best.
I finally find out who it was.

What a funny girl.

Something come to mind?

I may be the reason…

why Ms. Yoon recommended you.

MY LOVE

TO MY BELOVED SISTER

TO MY BELOVED SISTER

PERSONA NON GRATA
BY HA WOOSIN

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
HA WOOSIN

What a cute hobby he has.

Hi, Prosecutor Song.

Is your owner...

a twin?

Which one is Song Suhyeon?

Him? Or him?

I need to kill him, you see.

Because of you?

She probably wanted me...

to have an affair with you.

To steal my husband.

I don't follow…

Why me, of all people?

She must think you two look alike.

You and my brother-in-law.

Kwon Minjo?
The one who died in a helicopter accident?

What was your relationship with--

We were in love.

You asked me the true reason
why I sent you that letter.

Minjo was an angel.

He was a gentle and kind soul.

- Enjoy.
- Thank you.

He regularly volunteered
at a correctional facility.

Could you serve them
some pizza and fried chicken? Thank you.

Enjoy your meal.

VOLUNTEER GROUP

He said
one of the death-row inmates was innocent.

And that was…

Correct. It was Lee Changwoo.

I didn't think much of it at first.

But then my husband said…

I'm telling you.

My father killed someone…

with the Adamas.

Yes, Lee Changwoo.

And Lee Changwoo
was the one who took the fall.

That's right.

I don't know.

"My father killed someone with the Adamas.

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

That was when I realized

that the helicopter incident
was no accident…

and that Minjo was murdered.

Are you saying

he was killed after trying to prove
Lee Changwoo's innocence?

He already had his eldest son.

He couldn't have cared less about Minjo.

You're suspecting Chairman Kwon.

Suspect?

I'm sure of it.

Then I immediately dug into that case
from 22 years ago.

That's when I learned
that you were the victim's son.

THE TRACE OF SIN
BY HA WOOSIN

I've read all your books.

D'S SONG

So that's why Ms. Yoon
ecommended me for the ghostwriting job.

She thought you were interested in me.

And it just so happened to be
right after I sent that letter.

But in reality,
that letter was for your brother.

So you sent that letter

because you wanted
to take revenge on the chairman?

Aren't we after the same thing?

You want to catch
your father's real killer.

And I want to punish Minjo's killer.

Ms. Eun.

Revenge isn't free.

It always comes with a price.

Enough with your lousy lecture.
Just remember this.

Minjo was trying to reveal the truth
about your father's case.

And that got him killed.

I'm not Kwon Minjo.

I can't be his substitute.

I'm saying I'm not interested
in punishing the chairman.

Because we're not after the same thing.

I'm sorry.

Sir, it's been a long time.

Yes. It has been.

Why did you want to see me?

There's something I need to report to you.

Report?

You take care of most matters
independently.

The victim's son is digging into the case?

Yes, with the help of the SIH.

How interesting.

You don't need to worry, sir.

I'll take care of it.

It's quite simple.

Evidence holds the most weight in court
in this country.

We just need to get rid of it.

We've already gotten our hands
on all the files.

Next, we just need
to get rid of that prosecutor, the son.

Then we can bid adieu to this case.

There's actually another target, sir.

Another target? Who?

The female reporter.

Right, the witness.

Yes, sir. Once we get rid of those two,

it'll be over.

I see.

Anything else?

No, sir.

They all look plain.
I expected more from the SIH.

That's a field agent's
most important virtue.

They need to blend in to survive.

The most ordinary-looking criminals
are the biggest headaches.

Where are we going?

That little…

I have a security chip in my hand.

Biometrics?

So you know?

Yes. I know my onions.

Not pressing the button?

We're living in the 21st century.
Nothing is done manually.

It reads the information on my chip.

There's a hidden floor
between levels 12 and 13.

That's the heart of the SIH.

How ridiculous.
Are you guys 007 or something?

-What?
-Never mind.

Let's be calm and reasonable
since we're here.

Exactly. That's what I'm doing.

Welcome.

You should know
that you've made a mistake, honey.

You'll be monitored all year round
as soon as you set foot in here.

No matter what you do.

Quit calling us honey
and bring your boss over.

You're a feisty one, honey.

-Annoying…
-Kang Hyukpil.

Kang Hyukpil.

Come on out!

When were you going to tell us
about Team A?

Was Chairman Kwon not your sole target?

Were you after Team A as well?

Answer me.

Team A. Haesong's troubleshooters.

They're closely involved
in countless crimes.

Murder disguised as an accident.

Death from falling.

Medical accidents.

Car accidents.

Death by drowning.

Disappearances.

KYUNGWOON DAILY

They're in charge of obliterating
Haesong's enemies or hindrances.

Formerly the Management Support Team.

Once Lee became the team leader,
the name was changed to Team A.

They've been dodging the law,
doing whatever they want.

Simply put, they're hitmen.

That's a cute way to put it.

They're soldiers,
and Chairman Kwon is their king.

That's right.

Chairman Kwon doesn't bribe anyone.

He just gets rid of their enemies.

You become an accomplice
as soon as you join hands with him.

That's why they do everything
they can to protect him.

If the chairman falls…

…it's the end for them as well.

How much of this ridiculous story
am I supposed to believe?

Let me add to that.

Whose orders do you think we follow?

The chief of the National Police Agency?
The Minister of Justice?

It's someone even higher.

The VIP?

We must put an end to this
before his term ends.

Wait.

From what I know,
you guys aren't that clean to begin with.

Why don't you just kill the chairman?

I considered doing that.

But killing him off won't disband Team A.

A new leader would emerge.

Our purpose is to apprehend the chairman

and dissolve Team A.

The growth of Haesong, the monster.

Their heinous actions.

And Lee, the one spearheading it all.

Damn him.

Sadly, no one has seen him in person.

We have.

You saw him? Be more specific.

He was at the cabin.

I know what I saw.

They called him their leader.

Mr. Kang.

You're late.

I was hungry, so I helped myself.

I had to stop by the head office.

You look good. How was your break?

Okay.

And your task?

Can you manage?

Three seconds.

That's all I need.

What? Are you going
to slice my neck or something?

Right.

It's a gift.

Why do you need Song Suhyeon's toothbrush?

You must've lost your touch
while you were gone.

We never ask why.

Okay, whatever.

And you know who the targets are?

Song Suhyeon. Kim Seohee.

Kill them no matter what.

By the way, Mr. Lee.

He's a twin.

What if I get them mixed up
and kill his brother instead?

Can I just kill them both?

Of course not.

Listen carefully.

Song Suhyeon is your target.

Don't lay a finger on his brother.

Never?

That's right. Never.

Okay. Never.

Please, excuse me.

I'm done eating.

You haven't changed one bit.

What is it?

You drank the wine.

What if I had poisoned it?

Just kidding. Enjoy your meal.

That lunatic.

You saw Team A's leader?

Let's get a composite sketch immediately.

I already have one.

It's him.

And he could be the one
who killed my father.

I'm sure of it.

The man I saw that night…

Kim Seohee?

He was the one who raided the safe house.

The leader of Team A

may be your father's real killer?

Jeez. Look at that.

The chairman is involved in everything.

Happy?

Are you?

What about Woosin?
Is he still at that house?

Trying to get him out of there
in a hurry could put him in danger.

Cut that nonsense, god damn it.

You guys are all trash.

You knew Team A was a part of Haesong

and that Woosin was in danger,
yet you still haven't pulled him out?

Bring him out this instant.

I can't do that.

You can't? Why can't you take

Woosin out of that house?

Prosecutor Song.

Prosecutor Song.

Do you think Team A
will never find out about your brother?

You're their target.

Yet they leave your brother unscathed?

Is that possible?

Damn it.

There's no place he can hide
even if he leaves the estate.

The best thing we can do is
complete our mission as soon as possible.

We need to apprehend the chairman
and dissolve Team A.

What he said is true.

If we act rashly
and Chairman Kwon gets wind of it,

he'll get rid of the evidence.

You and your brother
will be his targets forever.

I know, but the SIH has too many secrets.

Even about Team A.
I just can't trust them.

Then what'll you do?

Get out of here.

Those brats.

I told them to close the curtains
properly after cleaning!

Ms. Kwon knows.

She knows where the Adamas is.

Darn. It's not like
I can torture her to make her spill it.

In any case, we should hurry.

I'll tell headquarters to track her.

Fortunately, we still have time.

Ms. Eun said they've yet
to draw the new design.

It'll take some time to recraft it.

But first things first.

Ms. Kwon has a son, right?

Yes. How did you know that?

Is he dead?

Yes. How did you know?

I saw a photo album in her room.

The last photo was from a decade ago.

I don't know much

since it was before I came here.
But why do you ask?

I think…

Ms. Kwon's late son is her weakness.

Her room was empty.

She has no earthly desires.

The only object she cherishes
is her son's photo album.

What's your plan?
Pretend to be her son and make her talk?

Given her dubious personality,

you'll fail even before starting anything.

That's not what I'm saying.

It's just unexpected.

The chairman isn't the only one

who's receiving her love and care.

Chairman Kwon and Ms. Kwon.

They have a strange…

relationship.
But I just can't put my finger on it.

It's obvious.
It's unconditional obedience.

You're wrong.
It isn't some blind obedience.

It's more like…

her protective instinct.

Don't be absurd.

He doesn't need any protection.

That's exactly why it's strange.

I do know someone who may have the answer.

Interview? This late at night?

I want to pick up the pace.

I'd like to finish the memoir
as soon as possible.

You don't need to interview me.
It'll be such a hassle for you.

It'd be nice to learn
some new things about him.

Oh, please.

I can't talk about his personal life.

Do I look like someone who'd gladly
expose the chairman's weaknesses

just for some money?

Oh, I think you misunderstood.

I just want to know
a different side of him.

Perhaps his heartwarming relationships
with others.

For example,
his relationship with Ms. Kwon.

I'm not so sure.

They seem to have quite a unique bond.

Could it be friendship?
Or a certain type of love?

They have a history together.

You see,

she was like his shadow
ever since he was young.

Young Master, are you okay?

Young Master!

Are you okay?

If the chairman did something wrong,

she was often punished instead.

I told you to take good care of him!

I'm sorry, Father.

That's what I heard.

The limp she has proves it.

She treats him like a babe in the woods.

That's because her family

has been serving this household

for countless generations.

Could anyone possibly fathom
the unconditional loyalty

she has for him?

Could that be why?

It was more than just simple loyalty.

More like a guardian who's overprotective

of her child.

There is a heartbreaking story
behind that.

Do elaborate.

I think I should…

take this.

She doesn't think
he's a babe in the woods.

But more like her kid.

Her son.

The chairman had a heart transplant.

Yes. I'm aware of that.

So?

The donor was…

Was it…

her son?

Oh.

So she must feel like
she's reunited with her dead son

every time she sees the chairman.

After all, his heart once belonged
to her one and only son.

Gosh, I could only imagine.

But… How could that happen?

There is an order of priority
when it comes to those waiting lists.

Mr. Ha, we're talking about Haesong here.

They can easily put him
at the top of the list.

To be frank, it's such a pity.

Her son was so young
when he failed at his suicide attempt.

He ended up in a coma.

Hold on. Suicide?

Her son?

Yes. He hanged himself.

On the tree in front of her room.

And then,

he ended up brain-dead
and his heart was donated.

So that's why
she always closed the curtains.

She wasn't trying to hide something.

She was the one hiding.

It was motherly love, not just affection.

Chairman Kwon was given

her son's heart.

Could that mean…

Did Eunkook Medical Center
carry out the chairman's heart transplant?

Yes. Is that why you're--

Ms. Oh told me
that Ms. Kwon's son was the donor.

Ms. Kwon's son?

Did you not know that?

No.

You once told me that nothing
happened by coincidence here.

But it just so happened that
your hospital carried out the procedure,

and Ms. Kwon's son was the donor.

If what Ms. Oh said was true

and the anonymous donor
was indeed Ms. Kwon's son,

then my father was involved.

Those who declared him brain-dead
worked at our hospital.

Perhaps, my father and the chairman

had made a deal.

What did you say?

What do you want me to do?

Get married.

Do you mean that?

I'm still grieving Minjo's death.

So?

Will waiting around
bring him back to life?

-Dad!
-Come on.

Chairman Kwon promised that
you'd become Haesong's daughter-in-law.

We should take him up on that offer.

Will you decline because Minjo died?

There's Hyunjo.

Who?

If you think about it,
this is actually much better.

It's better to marry the eldest.

He's Minjo's brother.

How could I marry him?

Why not? It's not like
you and Minjo were married.

Get it done within the year.

Am I an animal to you?

-How dare you?
-That's a pipe dream.

-The chairman would never--
-That's what he wants.

What do you mean…

This is small potatoes.

It's nothing compared
to what I did for him.

I finally get it now.

Instead of Minjo,

my husband was the one who had to pay.

-Pay?
-Becoming Haesong's daughter-in-law

must come with a price.

Did Ms. Kwon's son

really commit suicide?

It was staged.

What are you doing here?

It's our wedding night.

How could a new groom sleep
in another room on his honeymoon?

Imagine the rumors that'll spread.

Get up.

Don't get ahead of yourself.

I have no interest in you either.

Ever since I was young,

I never touched any of Minjo's things.

You piece of trash.

I…

I wasn't up for this marriage either.

I'm just fulfilling…

…Minjo's job.

Why did I marry you?

I'm not sure.

Why did I marry you?

You want to know why we got married?

There's no reason.

It was what my father wanted.

Decline, and I would've
ended up like Minjo.

What do you mean?

What was that?

Answer me.

Is asking questions your second nature?

What if I told you
the meaning behind that?

Then what? Will you take revenge?

I see! Good luck with that!

I hope you get your revenge.

But you know what?

I can guarantee

that'll never happen.

Cut the nonsense and answer me.

Ended up like Minjo--

It's exactly what you think it means.

That's it.

We need an access card.
The stairs are a no-go.

Then the elevator?

We'll need to pass that room.

Leave it to me. Follow me.

-Excuse me.
-Why are you still up?

Is the night-duty room uncomfortable?

No, I just have a question.

That guy that I saw. Mr. Lee.

If he was the one who killed Mr. Song,

does that mean
the chairman isn't the killer?

Would that make him just guilty
of aiding and abetting?

I'm not that familiar with the law.

If that's all that he's guilty of,

the statute of limitations
must've expired.

And it'd be a headache
if Lee was the killer

since we don't know when
his statute of limitations will run out.

If the chairman is only guilty
of aiding and abetting,

there's no reason for you guys
to carry out this mission.

Right. Team A is also your target.

Then does it not matter?

Or is there something else

that you guys are keeping from us?

What's wrong with this?

-Ms. Kim.
-Yes?

Did Prosecutor Song put you up to this?
To distract me?

Busted.

I need to get out.
There's something I have to do.

Right.

Biometrics.

Let's grab something to eat.

There's no time for such luxuries.

Are you really a prosecutor?

Everything that's crucial
happens while eating.

Why aren't you eating? It's good.

I have a weak stomach
and can't eat with anyone I despise.

What is this?

Your new phone.
You can contact us with it.

After all, we're in the same boat.

Mm.

I applied for sick leave at your office.

For whom?

Me?

What the hell?

God damn it.

Prosecutor Song.

My days are numbered.

Are you trying
to make me sympathize with you?

What do you mean, numbered?

The presidential election
will be over soon.

I'd be good as dead
if Hwang Byungchul is elected.

What are you on about?

LATE-NIGHT RICE BOWL

Haesong?

So you know.

Chairman Kwon has his back.

NEW FUTURE PARTY
HWANG BYUNGCHUL

What a scumbag.

You get the picture, right?

I've read your articles.

Your relationship
with Candidate Hwang is quite ill-fated.

I'm sick of him.

It's obvious if a Local News reporter
is more well-informed than political ones.

His name was always included
in every corrupt deed that I investigated.

Once Hwang becomes President,

what do you think
Haesong's first move will be?

A purge.

They'll set an example
by killing you first.

I know what I signed up for.

And they'll also go after you.

I've always liked…

living dangerously.

Do you know how many former presidents
were put up there by Haesong?

We're trying to put an end to that.

There are times
when Mr. Kang steps over the line.

But since he has conviction,

we obey him no matter what.

He doesn't hesitate to take the fall.

Because that's his definition of justice.

You won't hesitate
to be the lesser evil to defeat the worst?

You remembered what I said.

Fine. Let's do this.

Let's dig into this together.

But what's your name?

I don't have one.

We don't exist on paper.

As members of the infiltration team,
we shouldn't know one another.

Then how should I address you?
I can't just say "Hey."

Ms. Lee.

Kang Hyukpil.

You're the only one with your name out.

That means you're willing
to take responsibility if things go south.

I get that.

I have one question.

I get that Haesong has gotten
several presidents elected so far.

But why are you so determined

to specifically stop
Candidate Hwang of all people?

Haesong's next business

is growing ARES, their defense industry.

They want to legalize firearms.

-What?
-Legalizing firearms.

They want to sell weapons?

Those lunatics.

That's the real reason why
they're supporting Candidate Hwang.

That's exactly why we must stop Team A.

Now, let's talk business.

I'm down.

All right, then.

Good news or bad news?

Make it good news
since I'm on an empty stomach.

They've moved the Adamas.
They're going to recraft it.

They want to get rid of any evidence of it
being the murder weapon?

How's that good news?

It is for you.

Me?

You're right.

Jeez.

I don't know whose idea it was,
but they deserve credit.

The fact that the Adamas isn't there

means that the SIH will need
to get involved, not Woosin.

But here's the catch. The bad news.

We need to hurry and find out where it is.

They'll reveal it at the upcoming
80th-anniversary ceremony.

Don't be such a baby.
I'm sure you're looking into it.

You're probably tracking the designer.

Good luck with that.

I need

to visit Lee Changwoo.

That's the thing you must do?

Those bastards even raided
your safe house.

There's no guarantee that he's safe.
I need to check on him.

Get up.

Get up.

What is it?

We received a tip-off.

I heard you took some narcotics
that were smuggled in.

No, sir.

Why are you doing this?
I never did such a thing.

That's what I think too.

But I still need to check.

Perhaps, Lee Changwoo is…

I got a strand of his hair, sir.

We'll find out soon enough.

Damn it.

What? You're not Lee Changwoo.

No wonder. Damn.

I'm screwed.

Don't kill me…

Don't kill me…

Yes, sir.

I got it.

I'm on my way.

Jeez.

Are that prosecutor
and female reporter still alive?

Team A took Lee Changwoo's case file.

Where's Song Suhyeon?

I have a favor to ask of you.

Are you sure you got her weak spot?

About her dead son.

What if we spread word
that she knows where the Adamas is?

You're no different from Team A.

Did you deceive me?

Who are you?
