(Prologue)

(Kim Hee-woo, a righteous but powerless prosecutor)

(He tries to catch Cho Tae Sub, the absolute evil, but he gets killed.)

(The Grim Reaper gives him a second chance in life.)

(Through his memories, he predicts the future,)

(acquires wealth, strength, and power.)

(And he's gradually tightening Cho Tae Sub's breath...)

(Episode 10)

He'll need our help.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

What's this?

Pandora's box.

(Public officials' children who evaded military service)

- This is... - Yes.

It's self-explanatory.

What do you want me to do?

Use that in the National Assembly.

This will destroy the country.

But you will gain power again.

You're the only one...

who can open this box.

The moment you open the box, the world will be in an uproar.

But people will be able to see... the last ray of hope.

Hello.

Assemblyman Hwang.

Stop objecting just for the sake of being against it.

The Minister of Justice position...

shouldn't be left vacant for too long.

If the candidate is truly qualified for the position,

you'd have nothing to worry about.

Assemblyman Hwang Jin Yong remains strongly opposed.

They will yet again struggle to reach an agreement...

at the confirmation hearing for Justice Minister nominee.

Here's the Legislation and Judiciary Committee,

where the hearing is being held.

We will now begin the confirmation hearing...

for the Justice Minister nominee.

Pandora's box is about to open.

Assemblyman Hwang Jin Yong.

You may ask questions.

Nominee.

Yes.

What are your thoughts on public officials' children...

purposely evading their military service?

Pardon?

I received this list...

from an informant who wishes to remain anonymous.

This list includes...

the names of high-ranking public officials' children...

who avoided military service through a broker.

It contains the names of 37 people,

which includes the children of some of the assemblymen...

who are here now.

It is of utmost importance that public officials...

always act with ethical awareness. Yet their children...

are guilty of draft evasion.

Are you confident that you can handle this fairly and justly?

I am asking you if you can do it.

The people are watching this now.

Please answer my question.

Yes. If they broke the law, they should...

Assemblyman Hwang! Can you take responsibility for what you said?

"Responsibility"? Yes, I can and I will.

However, you'll be under investigation too, Assemblyman Park.

And of course, the 37 people on this list, including your son,

will be re-examined for military enrolment.

Nominee, here is another question for you.

What are your thoughts...

on narcotics law violations committed by...

some celebrities and high-ranking public officials' family members?

- Narcotics? - Yes, narcotics.

Some of your names are on this list,

which contains the names of about 50 drug offenders.

What will you do?

I will follow the protocol set out by the law...

Forget it.

Lastly,

let me ask you one more question.

Nominee, have you ever received sexual favours?

"Sexual favours"?

Assemblyman Hwang, are you here to cause trouble?

Why bring up something unrelated and make everyone uncomfortable?

Be quiet. I'm not done talking.

Nominee, I asked if you ever received sexual favours.

- No, never. - You're lying.

"Never"? Are you sure?

(Cho Tae Sub)

I'm asking because your name is on this sexual bribery list.

Assemblyman Hwang, stop talking nonsense!

How dare you spread false information?

Did you say "false information"?

Assemblyman Kim, Assemblyman Yoo. Your names are on this list too!

What? What did you say?

Assemblymen, do you think this is normal?

These people are not qualified to be participating...

in this confirmation hearing for the Justice Minister nominee.

They have no right to be judging anyone's qualifications.

All right. Now,

I will read out the names on this list one by one.

Assemblyman Hwang! Have you lost your mind?

Hey! Turn off the cameras!

- Turn off the cameras! - Hey, the cameras!

Park Soo Nam, Choi Hyun Min,

- Han Il Gu, Park Joo Hyun... - Stop!

- What are you doing? - Calm down!

- This is ridiculous! - Get out!

Order! Please be seated!

Order!

Order!

Assemblyman Lee! Go back to your seat!

(Justice Minister Nominee Alleged to Have Received Sexual Favours)

It has begun.

- Let's get moving too. - Okay.

What about the search and seizure warrant for SHC Entertainment?

Chief said not to worry. It'll be issued soon.

Okay.

As for the sexual bribery case, vet the witnesses again.

Yes, ma'am.

What? Search and seizure warrant?

That's nuts.

Okay, Dad.

I'll take care of the urgent matters first. Okay.

Hey, Hee Woo. I have to step out to take care of something urgent.

Call me if anything happens.

Is everything okay?

Yes, it's nothing.

I really was not expecting this.

Is there anything I can help with?

No.

Just figure out what's going on here.

Darn it.

I'm surprised you came right away.

When I needed your help, you didn't even answer my calls.

A prosecutor came by. He was curious.

Drugs, sexual bribery involving celebrities,

and your involvement in it.

- A prosecutor? Who? - Well...

Is that important now?

What matters now is whether or not you've made up your mind.

Tell me. Do you now want to strike a deal with me?

(Public officials' children who evaded military service)

Sir, the Prosecutor General is on the phone for you.

Hi. Was it SHC Entertainment?

Shut it down at once.

The Central District Prosecutors' Office...

will handle the investigation.

I'll go through the list. Okay.

Draft evasion, drugs, sexual bribery.

This country is sinking under the weight of corruption.

So, how many? In total.

Draft evasion, 37.

Narcotics law violations, about 50. Sexual bribery, 16.

There are about 100 names on the list,

and 20 of them are connected to SHC Entertainment.

What about the ones that we should take care of?

Just over ten, but I don't think we can get all of them out.

Assemblyman Kim and Assemblyman Yoo whose names were called...

in relation to the sexual bribery list will be investigated.

Idiots.

- What about the media? - We can't keep the media out.

What Assemblyman Hwang said is going viral online.

I see.

Don't try to control it. Just leave it.

I bet Assemblyman Hwang thinks...

that what he did would cripple me.

But he's wrong.

Through this, I'll gain even more power.

Hwang Jin Yong only partially disclosed the lists.

Those who are guilty...

must be anxious and scared right now,

wondering whether or not...

their names are on the list.

Contact everyone on this list...

and tell them to come to me if they wish to be spared.

Yes, sir.

- Call Kim Seok Hoon. - Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. Got it. Will do.

- Prepare for a press briefing. - Pardon me?

Assemblyman Hwang Jin Yong's list.

We'll be in charge of the investigation.

Not the Eastern District Office?

They'll only investigate the case involving SHC Entertainment.

I see.

Round up the reporters and let them know...

that we'll tell them everything Assemblyman Hwang couldn't say.

- Yes, sir. - This is our golden opportunity...

to divert attention and restore our reputation.

We'll be very busy for a while. Be prepared.

And investigate Assemblyman Hwang Jin Yong too.

Find out...

if there was anything illegal about how he obtained the list.

You understand what it means, right?

Yes, sir.

Now, get back to work.

And tell Kang Jin to come to my office as soon as he's back.

Yes, sir.

Our office will be investigating the case involving the list.

Soon, the prosecutors...

will investigate you to find out how you obtained the list.

I expected that much.

Right. But the thing is, the order came...

from Cho Tae Sub.

What? Cho Tae Sub? He ordered it?

He should be stopping the investigation if anything.

But he ordered the investigation?

Cho Tae Sub?

Yes, sir.

Talk about a wake-up call.

Il Hyun, please help me.

I was so preoccupied with Kim Hee Woo and his gang...

that I had no idea the Eastern District Office...

would hit my father's company.

Using a college friend to blindside you...

Kim Hee Woo is really clever.

So? What's happening with Cho Yoon A?

I managed to appease her and hid her,

but not for long.

If she goes public with it, there's no getting out.

Indeed.

The agency owner got an actress addicted to propofol...

through plastic surgery procedures.

Then he used that to have leverage over her...

and made her provide sexual favours to powerful men.

And the prosecutor who helped him cover it up.

Those who like to gossip will be all over it.

I was hoping Kim Hee Woo would join me here,

- but it looks like it'll be you. - Il Hyun!

I can hear you very well, so don't raise your voice at me.

Il Hyun. If I end up in here too, no one can get us out.

Help me just this once,

and I promise you that I'll get you out.

There is a way.

There is only one person who can save you now.

You know you'll have to repay me for this, right?

No funny business.

Do it right.

I can't believe this.

- Who knew? - Goodness.

Hey, Assemblyman Jang.

How did this happen?

All those powerful men are here to beg to be spared.

Assemblyman Hwang made Assemblyman Cho even more powerful.

Because of this, I've lost trust in public officials.

From the sexual bribery scandal...

to the draft evasion scandal.

I believe assemblymen and judicial officers...

should have high moral standards.

They've been talking about this all day.

I'm sorry, sir. You told me to leave the media.

Don't be sorry. Well done.

The media wants to do its job for a change, so just leave them be.

They're actually making things much easier for us.

Who knew...

Assemblyman Hwang would help me out like this?

Through this, we'll achieve true bipartisan cooperation.

The ruling party and opposition party will become one.

- Let's go greet the guests. - Yes, sir.

- What a mess. - I know.

- What? - I told you.

- How can we... - He's here.

How could you stand on your feet when you committed such offences?

Do you want my help?

Answer me. Do you want my help?

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Assemblyman Kim.

Yes, sir.

Why are you here?

Well, that's...

Are you too ashamed to even talk about it?

If you know that it's shameful,

why did you succumb to such temptation so easily?

I apologize, sir.

Assemblyman Jang, Assemblyman Park.

Yes, sir.

You were against the bill I proposed last time.

It won't happen again, ever.

Please forgive us.

Politically, this is a highly sensitive and perilous moment.

For a nation to thrive,

its politicians must have their heads on straight.

You were elected to represent our citizens.

Do you take it that lightly?

- Forgive us. - Forgive us.

It doesn't matter which party you belong to.

You are the leaders of this country.

I thought long and hard all day.

Knowing you have worked hard for our country alongside me,

what can I do to save you?

Here's what I've decided to do. Those of you who can promise...

to contribute yourselves to true bipartisan cooperation...

and serving the people to the best of your abilities.

Your names will be deleted from the list.

- Thank you, sir. - Thank you, sir.

However,

I can't save all of you.

If I do, the people will not trust us.

So some of you should be prepared for what's coming.

Don't be resentful. Reflect on what you did...

and be grateful that the others could be saved because of you.

You have my word.

Those of you who sacrificed yourselves for the greater good.

I promise...

that I will take care of you to the end.

Tell Kim Seok Hoon that I want to meet him.

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Don't say that. We're just getting started.

I went to meet the doctor...

involved in the draft evasion scandal to secure a witness.

He said he'd testify.

He did. But I can't reach him now.

What?

The hospital staff said he was away on vacation,

and his family told me he was attending a seminar somewhere.

He was working at the hospital up until yesterday,

but he suddenly vanished.

Let's go through the departure list tomorrow.

This happened today, so he couldn't have gone too far.

We should keep a close watch on our witnesses too.

Don't worry. I'll take care of them.

We got the warrant on Choi Kang Jin.

We'll get him tomorrow morning.

Kyu Ri, Choi Kang Jin won't go down so easily.

Min Soo, I'm not one to give up so easily.

I can't wait to see...

what Choi Kang Jin will do to try to weasel out of this.

This is rude.

I don't like it when people come to see me without an appointment.

I apologize, sir.

I'm putting my life on the line.

Please take a look and decide.

I'll take a look later.

Do you want to live?

Then bring me your father's head.

- Choi Kang Jin. - Sir.

Are you here to beg him to be spared?

I had no choice.

How dare you come here?

Assemblyman Cho is waiting, sir.

Come to my office as soon as you get to work tomorrow morning.

Just investigate these four people here.

- Yes, sir. - I'll take care of the rest.

Understood, sir.

Prosecutor Choi Kang Jin was here.

Yes, I ran into him.

He's terrified.

My apologies, sir. I should've managed him better.

No, you don't need to apologize.

Obviously, he came to see me because he was desperate.

- Right. - I gave him some homework.

See if he does his homework and decides...

whether or not he can replace Jang Il Hyun.

You call the shots...

on whether he should be spared.

Whether you want to spare him or not,

I'll leave it up to you.

Yes, sir.

You should've come to me first.

My apologies, sir. I was panicking.

So? You went over my head and met with Assemblyman Cho?

I'm sorry.

I won't forgive you twice.

Yes, sir. This won't ever happen again.

(Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon)

I'll have to punish you first.

They have a warrant.

So answer the Eastern District's summons.

But sir...

I've already talked to the Eastern District Office's DA.

Before that, you need to keep the promise you made to Cho Yoon A.

Yes, sir.

I've explained everything to my father too.

Come in.

(Children Of Senior Government Officials Who Dodged The Draft)

The list that assemblyman Hwang Jin Yong exposed.

(List of Sexual Bribery)

All the key figures are missing.

It's just a list of dregs who were abandoned.

Make sure all of them are done for good.

- Okay. But sir. - What is it?

It looks different from the list that Assemblyman Hwang disclosed.

He simply raised a suspicion.

We just need to investigate the facts in there.

There's probably a reason that some names are off the list.

Stop quibbling and get to work.

- Yes, sir. - Get going then.

Kim Kyu Ri was the prosecutor who got my arrest warrant.

Is that so?

Isn't it interesting?

As soon as Hwang Jin Yong disclosed the list,

the Eastern District Office jumped straight into action.

That means they were already investigating this beforehand.

I wonder who passed the list over to Hwang Jin Yong?

I'm about to investigate.

I received orders from the chief prosecutor.

Are you dumb?

It's obvious.

I'm sure it was leaked by the Eastern District Office.

Or someone reported it simultaneously...

to the Eastern District Office and Hwang Jin Yong.

If you are curious,

then I'll report it to you once I'm done investigating.

Fine, make sure you do.

Okay.

(Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo)

I have SHC Entertainment's Choi Soo Hyuk's indictment...

which Choi Kang Jin submitted.

So he managed to save himself by handing over his father.

What about the witnesses?

The doctor involved in the draft evasion left the country today.

We're trying to get in contact with the actors...

and aspiring actors who were involved in the sexual briberies.

They're still hopeful youths, so keep it on the down low.

Support them generously.

Yes, sir.

I'll settle it by offering transfer options and waiving penalty fees.

Okay.

It might be hard to cover it up since it's such a shocking case.

I'll prepare the backup plan that Choi Kang Jin gave us.

All right.

You gathered the lawmakers from both parties, right?

- And no reporters? - Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Gosh, the sky is so clear today.

Let's go.

- Hello, sir. - Sit down, everyone.

It's been a while,

but the time for us to work together has come.

Assemblyman Hwang Jin Yong has caused quite an uproar.

I'm sure you all heard.

I'm distracting the people's attention...

to something else for now.

But we can't cover this up.

It's like trying to cover the sky with my hand.

Just now, I tried covering the sky with my hand...

because it was so sunny.

But I could still see it.

The sky will always penetrate through my fingers...

and be visible to me.

Let me ask you all a question.

Is there a way to cover the sky with our hands?

We can use our hands...

to block our eyes like this.

Then you can't see the sky even if you wanted to.

So did you find a way to appease the angry crowd?

Divert the people's attention to issues involving their livelihoods.

Tell them you're working on a law that would increase their taxes.

Leak it to the reporters.

Increase the price of cigarettes, or soju is fine too.

It can be whatever you like.

If we suddenly raise the taxes,

won't the people be up in arms about it?

Gosh, the election is right around the corner.

We obviously won't raise it for real.

Just start a rumour.

So you want us to shift the attention from corruption...

to taxes, am I right?

Exactly.

What's the reason...

that the people are interested in Hwang Jin Yong's list?

Because their lives are too comfortable?

We're finally clicking.

So once the people's attention is diverted to taxes...

we'll tell them we plan to do the opposite by lowering it?

Tell them our party's key policy is to lower the taxes, right?

Yes. Do you all understand?

We have to reframe the situation.

Then all the troublemaker kids of all the representatives...

will be forgotten.

Also, the punks that got caught.

Leave them out in our next list.

Any flaw should be disposed of.

We might as well switch out the political circle...

now that a new government will be established. Understood?

- Yes, sir. - Understood, sir.

You guys are making a mistake.

"Mistake" you say?

The prosecution doesn't arrest innocent civilians.

We only catch law-breaking punks. In other words, criminals.

Hey, Kyu Ri. Watch your mouth.

It sounds like you mean me.

You should watch it too, Choi Kang Jin.

Don't call me Kyu Ri here. It's Ms. Kim.

I have no idea why you suddenly targeted me.

But you're making a huge mistake.

No, you made a mistake.

You'll end up regretting this soon.

Guilty ones are always talkative.

You're blabbering a lot, Mr. Choi.

You better reel yourself in, or else you'll get burned badly.

I'll start the interrogation now.

Sure, Ms. Kim.

(List of Political and Business Officials Lobbied By SHC Ent.)

Mr. Choi.

Did you ever arrange a meeting with an actor from SHC...

and a politician?

I never did.

What preferential treatment did you receive for the sexual briberies?

I have nothing to do with the case.

I wasn't even interested in how my father's company was doing.

Multiple actors from the company...

claimed to be close to you, Mr. Choi.

Which Choi are you talking about? Why don't you bring him in?

Mr. Choi Kang Jin.

(Eastern District Prosecutors' Office)

(Eastern District Prosecutors' Office)

Why are ominous feelings always spot on?

The doctor involved in the draft evasion went abroad today.

Gosh, they're fast.

They probably got to work as soon as the case came to light.

It means there's someone really powerful behind all this.

That's right.

Anyway, I'm sure Kyu Ri is panicking right now.

- Panic? - Goodness, you didn't know?

Search for Cho Yoon A on the internet.

Gosh.

(Cho Yoon A Bids A Beautiful Farewell To SHC Entertainment)

Darn it.

We've all taken a hit.

Why? Do you have a problem too?

(Children Of Senior Government Officials Who Dodged The Draft)

(Kim Hyun Soo, National Assembly. Second son. Exempted)

- Hold up. - Yes.

All the powerful ones got away.

Darn it.

This is a disgusting world.

I expected it, but it's worse than I thought.

I thought we'd at least cut the tail off, but no.

They're all just lackeys.

My goal isn't to see nobodies like them...

in jail.

I'm sorry, sir.

No, it's not your fault.

I expected this...

from the moment you handed me the list.

Cho Tae Sub already controls the press...

and knows how to use it.

He also knows how to cover the people's eyes...

and close their ears.

I understand how you feel, sir.

But please give us a little more time.

We'll catch everyone that managed to get away.

Do you still not grasp the situation after seeing what Cho Tae Sub did?

No matter how hard you go after him,

it will all be in vain.

Not until the prosecution, which is rotten to its core,

gets changed out completely.

We need some time.

We'll start by creating a small crack...

to destroy the massive dam.

We can't do it without your help.

This is only the beginning.

Mr. Kim.

Are you brave or just reckless?

I only make promises I can keep.

I'm going to make sure the world knows the real Cho Tae Sub.

I won't stop...

until he pays for his crimes too.

I hope you can keep that promise.

To be honest,

my political life is almost over.

Will you get it done in time?

Easily.

I don't like prosecutors,

but you seem trustworthy.

I don't like politicians either.

But you seem trustworthy, sir.

Darn it.

Pour me another.

Slow down, Kyu Ri. I guess you're really upset.

She's not upset, she's angry.

- I know. - Don't mess with me today.

I'm about to flip this table over.

You can't say that in front of the jjimdak. You'll scare it.

You're right, sir. We must be respectful to jjimdak.

Kyu Ri, don't be rude.

- That's my son. - Of course.

How many sons do you have?

You said Sang Man was your son last time.

Anyone who likes jjimdak is my son.

What about Hee Woo?

He likes pork belly, so I'm taking him off the family registry.

Min Soo, who truly appreciates jjimdak...

Min Soo said he likes beef.

Beef? Explain this to me, Min Soo.

Don't tell me you betrayed me?

You can't frame me like this.

Sir, I'm a prosecutor who only speaks the truth.

I even ate chicken porridge this morning.

Then prove it to me.

- Give us two more orders, please. - You're most definitely my son.

- Make that three. - You're the best son.

- I hope you'll be my children soon. - We'll try.

- Three more orders are on the way. - Gosh, you're too much.

What the?

Mr. Kim? Did the order go in?

- I'm here. - My saviour is here.

- Sorry I'm late. - No worries.

Are you okay?

I should've resigned in front of the department chief.

We lack evidence.

That was the reason why Choi Kang Jin was acquitted.

Just how much evidence and witnesses do they need?

"If I see crime, I won't forgive it even if it is my family."

Spoken by Choi Kang Jin. A true prosecutor...

who didn't hesitate to press charges against his father's company.

There are even talks that the person who gave...

assemblyman Hwang Yong Jin the document...

was prosecutor Choi Kang Jin himself.

Choi Kang Jin is a hero now.

Seriously. That scumbag.

I'll catch him for you.

Choi Kang Jin.

I'll get him.

All right. You all know he means what he says, right?

This isn't the time to feel defeated.

We have to turn a new leaf and prepare for the second round.

We're basically the Avengers.

Come on.

Let's lift our spirits. Cheers to defeating evil.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Come in!

That's right. Raise your guard.

Raise it.

Hold your guard.

Nice!

Good job.

I can't believe you threw me down.

When did you improve so much?

It looked like a real match.

It's all thanks to Hee Woo.

We've still got a long way to go.

Pound it.

What?

How did you know I was here?

Take your time then.

Thank you.

My gosh.

Should I start working out too?

Isn't Hee Woo so cool, sir?

It's good to see you take good care of yourself.

All your success at Gimsan wasn't a coincidence.

I still have a lot to work on.

But what brings you two here?

Don't get me started.

Chief wanted to go see you at the crack of dawn.

I only had time to wash my face.

We came because there's no privacy at the Prosecutors' Office.

I wanted to ask a few questions too.

I have something to tell you also.

Go ahead. I think I'll like what you tell me.

I met assemblyman Hwang Jin Yong yesterday.

Assemblyman Hwang?

I knew it was you.

I was wondering where he got that kind of information.

I guess the SHC Entertainment case that the Eastern District Office...

is working on is your doing too?

Yes. I'm sorry I couldn't give you a heads up.

Don't worry about it.

I expected it to an extent when you said...

you would go after Choi Soo Hyuk instead of Choi Kang Jin.

I was curious how you'd go after Choi Kang Jin,

since you had only just arrested Jang Il Hyun.

Has your curiosity been satisfied?

More importantly, are you okay?

Pardon?

We heard Chief Kim gave you a revised version of the list.

You'll get another opportunity. Just be patient.

Jang Il Hyun and Choi Kang Jin.

Regardless of the amount, they've both been damaged.

But be careful.

Kim Seok Hoon is shrewd. He may have already caught on.

You have to slow down.

Especially if your final goal is a bigger villain.

He's sharp as always.

He looked indifferent, but I guess he had everything figured out.

Yes, sir. I'll keep that in mind.

It's clear that you're polite and a good person.

But I can't read you.

If I could, I might be able to help.

Gosh, you're already a big help to me.

I mean it.

You can swear all you want if you're mad.

It's obvious that you're holding yourself back.

There's a reason you were sparring like crazy so early.

You can't stand to see injustice.

Is it really that obvious?

- Yes, very. - Yes, very.

Seeing the look you have, things must've worked out well.

It's thanks to you, sir.

Now that we figured out how to save you,

how about you keep the promise you made me?

Yes, sir.

I'll make sure to get you on probation.

Even if it means I have to beg Hee Woo, that punk.

Good.

I'm counting on you.

- You're here. - Hi.

(Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo)

Hee Woo.

Yes?

About Il Hyun.

I know you were simply acting on the chief's orders.

We have no choice but to obey our superiors.

That's why picking the right team is important.

We're the chief's starting lineup.

After what happened to Il Hyun, it's all the more reason for us...

to stick together and support one another, right?

- Yes, sir. - Which is why,

I want to do everything in my power to release Il Hyun.

He won't be able to come back as a prosecutor either way.

Isn't getting him debarred a little too harsh?

He was still our superior once.

We shouldn't rob him of his livelihood too.

Are you asking me to tamper with the evidence?

Don't put me on the spot like that.

Since you're handling the case,

I'm sure...

you can make a loophole for him to get out of this.

What's your point?

You should take a step back this time.

You can't?

No. Forget it.

I don't want to get your hands dirty.

I'll take care of it. Get back to work.

He's going to defend Jang Il Hyun?

I'm going to...

end Jang Il Hyun this time at all costs.

(Keep Public Safety and Maintain Order)

If you're here to talk about Jang Il Hyun, you should go.

Too bad.

I'm here to help you, Ms. Sung.

Get to the point.

Aren't you curious...

why Jang Il Hyun turned you into a liar and a con artist...

when he was engaged to you?

Chairwoman Sung Jin Mi deceived me.

How could I have known about the foundation corruption?

My connection to it was fabricated.

Are you referring...

to your embezzlement charge of the foundation?

She just used me.

Ms. Sung Jin Mi claimed to have used the money with you.

I didn't know.

She just used me.

- What do you mean? - How did she use you?

It's because he knows.

Jang Il Hyun knows that his sentence will be lighter...

once he dumps his crimes on your shoulders.

All right. How about you do the same?

What if you were to put your crimes on his shoulders?

Your shoulders will feel lighter.

So you want to help me?

I'm sick and tired of prosecutors.

But I am curious how you are going to help me.

Come to the prosecutors' office tomorrow for questioning.

Sure.

Ms. Sung. I have a question!

What's your thought on the scandal...

with the former prosecutor, Jang Il Hyun?

We heard you two were engaged. Tell us the truth.

The former prosecutor claimed to have been used by you.

Is there anything you would like to say?

- Do the same. - What do you mean?

Do exactly what Jang Il Hyun did to you.

"Jang Il Hyun was behind everything."

Prosecutor Jang Il Hyun was behind everything.

"But Jang Il Hyun isn't at fault."

But Prosecutor Jang Il Hyun isn't at fault.

"It's my fault that I couldn't stop him."

It's my fault that I couldn't stop him.

- "I thought that was love." - I thought that was love.

- And... - And...

cry.

I'm sorry.

- Oh, no. - Are you pregnant?

Does Prosecutor Jang know about the baby?

The press will take care of the rest.

How far along are you?

Come in.

The former department chief prosecutor, Jang Il Hyun,

- is facing a bribery charge, - Did you ask to see me?

a charge that will result in a heavier sentence.

And other crimes he committed have come to light as well.

The revelation about the former prosecutor...

from Chairwoman Sung Jin Mi...

of Gukdae Arts Foundation...

has shocked the public even more.

It has brought the ethics standards...

of the prosecution into question again.

People are paying attention to see how this will affect the trial.

The public sentiment isn't good. Don't drag it out.

Wrap up Jang Il Hyun's trial fast.

Yes, sir.

The defendant, Jang Il Hyun, used his position as a prosecutor...

to receive a large sum of money from conglomerates...

and other forms of entertainment.

The defendant also turned a blind eye...

to the crimes of his fiancée, Chairwoman Sung Jin Mi...

of Gukdae Arts Foundation...

and assisted her in breaking the law.

Therefore, the court sentences Defendant Jang Il Hyun...

for violating...

the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes,

making illegal petitions for his own interest,

and taking bribes...

to seven years in prison.

- Seven years? - Gosh.

He needs more than seven years!

Wait!

Make sure to destroy Kim Hee Woo.

Thanks, Hee Woo, for getting rid of him.

You just ended up giving me wings.

Still no answer from Kim Yong Jun?

No, sir.

If he can't find the right answer,

I should give him a hint.

Unwrap the present from Choi Kang Jin.

Yes, sir.

It will cost more if you want it done in a week.

Will that be a problem?

Okay. We will be guiding the discussion simultaneously.

You'll be working overtime for a week.

("Shocking Truth of C Group's Son, an Affair with a Top Actress?")

Director Park. What's going on?

Something feels off here today.

Tabloids about your oldest brother are spreading like wildfire...

through social media and press.

My brother?

Don't read them. They will die down soon.

But he's my family. I should know what's going on.

"The affair footage of C Group's heir and Actress A?"

This is a video.

It's more than just a tabloid.

We believe it was filmed without his knowledge.

Stop all the newspapers from going into my father's room.

And tell him the TV is being repaired for the time being.

He can't find out.

You're here.

When did you get here?

Just now. I needed to report something to him.

I'll get going then, Dad.

Okay.

Hee A.

Work in Management and Planning Team starting tomorrow.

Don't say you don't want to...

or you won't. Just do it.

Dad. We talked about this.

I just want to be your family.

That's why I'm telling you to do it.

Those directors are walking on eggshells around Yong Jun.

And Sung Jun is looking to see what he can take...

like a greedy opportunist.

Who can stop those two?

I'm not saying it in the heat of the moment. I'm being rational.

Hee A.

I'll do it.

I'll join management.

It's been a while.

That's how you feel.

I always felt as if you were with me the whole time.

Monks shave their heads...

when they leave behind worldly desires.

So I'm here to do that.

You.

I'm here to say goodbye.

As friends.

I thought about you from time to time.

"What would have Hee Woo done in this situation?"

But I'll stop.

I wanted to come back to a normal life,

have a drink like normal people,

argue like everyone,

and become happy...

when a guy buys a doll for me on the street.

I wanted a normal life like that.

But I don't think that's possible now.

Bye.

Okay.

Kim Hee A.

If you get upset, unload on this guy.

And you just be yourself.

Okay.

When things are tough, come to me. I'll buy you another one.

Thanks.

- I'll get going then. - Okay.

How could you do this, you jerk?

- Get your hands off me! - You! Sung Jun!

Yong Jun, calm down.

The housekeepers will hear you.

I don't care about people's opinions of me right now.

Dad must have scolded you, but don't fool yourself.

He was bound to find out.

I only told him because it would be better...

coming from his son, than a random stranger.

I knew Hee A wouldn't tell him about that.

Come on, Yong Jun. Let go of him. Let's talk it out.

Yong Jun.

Family?

You don't think I know you've been meeting up with the shareholders?

What? Is someone backing you?

I'm working hard for our company. Don't accuse me of that.

You're the one who messed up.

Do you know how much our stock price plummeted?

What?

Besides, you don't have any right to say that to me.

You haven't done anything to help the company.

You're just a risk to the company.

- Kim Sung Jun, you... - Yong Jun.

Yes.

What?

Okay.

Hey, Hee A.

Are you the new director of Management and Planning?

What? Hee A. Is that true?

- Yes. - Did Dad ask you?

- Yes. - You said you weren't interested.

Now, I am.

Are you seriously doing this to me?

Yes. I want to work with you.

I'll help you. I'll cooperate,

so you can do a good job.

Forget it.

I'll see you at work.

Yong Jun.

Gosh, you're scary.

Sung Jun.

Should I drive you home, sir?

Yes.

No.

My apologies for my late introduction.

That's understandable.

Sit down.

Have some tea.

This is the perfect temperature.

Okay.

In life, missing the window...

can result in lowering its value.

Right.

So there is something I hope you can increase the value of.

What could that be?

Chunha Distributions is preparing to set up a premium outlet.

And?

I want you to select the lot for the outlet.

I'm just a politician. What do I know about land?

The general election is around the corner.

Information on the location of the lot...

will be very useful to your people.

I'm sure you want something from me. Go ahead and tell me.

I want to wash away...

the disgrace on my shoulders.

And I want to stay where I am.

Please help me.

I'm not interested in the outlet.

You can pick the lot of your choice.

But I heard Chunha Distributions...

will go through restructuring.

I want you to stop that.

You might think that restructuring is a good option...

to cut costs...

and get rid of freeloaders at the company.

I want to join hands with those...

who have national interest in mind and who work for the county,

not those who view people...

as tools to further their personal gains.

And I believe someone similar ought to lead the company.

Do you think you can do that?

If the answer is yes, I'll join hands with you.

He wants to wash away the disgrace?

He wants to stay where he is?

Now that we joined hands,

I ought to grant him his wish.

Get ready.

A great star...

will fall soon.

The next target is Kim Hee A.

I set things up.

What is it that you want?

Look into Hee Woo.

Find out if he met with Assemblyman Cho.

Give me a bit more time.

I will soon be able to keep my promise to you.

I'm asking for help one last time.

Start the investigation.

I'm sorry about your father.

I see it as an opportunity.

Let's bring down Kim Seok Hoon.
