(Episode 7)

Apply this under your nose.

What's this?

It's because of the smell.

We have six bodies in total.

By the look of their builds, they were all adult males...

and they were all buried at different times.

They say it must have been used as a burial...

for at least 15 years.

They were buried stripped and wrapped in plastic?

That's the most recently buried one.

The others are hard to even identify.

How did you find them?

Mr. Do told me to investigate the area.

Wait.

Could you shine the light?

Give me the tweezers.

A little downward.

(Baek Sung Cheol)

Find out what this is.

(Baek Sung Cheol)

Ms. Jo.

Head over to the National Forensic Service next morning...

to check the autopsy results...

and request them to identify the bodies.

Mr. Do has sharp eyes.

He used to be the ace of the Investigation Team.

By the way, let's get something to eat.

I get so hungry in the middle of working these days.

You're hungry too, aren't you? Let's go.

I am a bit peckish, but... Are you really going to eat?

Baek Sung Cheol of Gem Trade.

He would have been reported missing.

He seems like a thug, so ask around.

Yes, ma'am.

All right.

Baek Sung Cheol has records of committing four crimes.

He's a thug who deals with corporate bonds,

real estate, and offshore gambling.

He disappeared last year when the police started investigating.

He looks similar,

but I'm can't be exactly sure.

I contacted Baek Sung Cheol's younger sister.

She's on her way to the National Forensic Service,

so we'll be able to identify the body by the end of today.

Yes, sir.

Why did you tell them to dig up that place?

Ms. Jo said it was your order.

Park Si Young said something suspicious.

He said it was a quiet and desolate place.

A place where no one would know even if someone died.

The investigation team concluded that he fled abroad...

and decided to close the case until they get a hold of him.

(Tailing Report)

They even have a tailing report.

He didn't go to work the day before he went missing...

and the last thing he did was to visit a prison.

(Visited Kim Jae Myung)

Let's go.

Where?

We have to find out what they talked about.

He was the last one to see Baek Sung Cheol.

(Written by, Park Chan Hee)

(Lead Detective, Jang Hae Ryong)

(Seyang Prison)

When was Oh Sang Do imprisoned?

Last November.

And Baek Sung Cheol visited Kim Jae Myung in December.

I guess he called for me after Baek Sung Cheol went missing.

(Visitation Room)

He won't speak up if I'm with you.

I heard you were put in danger because of Oh Sang Do.

Are you all right?

Whatever.

We found some people buried there.

An expert buried people from way back to recently.

It's been used as a burial ground for about 15 years.

How many bodies were there?

We found six.

Including a thug named Baek Sung Cheol.

You know him, right? I heard he came to see you.

The day before he went missing...

and about two weeks before he went missing.

What did you talk to him?

I've known him since we were in the same gang a long time ago.

He only came to say hello.

You called a gangster in when Oh Sang Do got imprisoned,

and you called me in to spew nonsense about a bribery ledger...

when that gangster went missing.

What in the world are you up to?

I wanted to get out of here.

He wanted to apply for parole in exchange for that ledger.

He tried to get in contact with his boss through Baek Sung Cheol,

but he went missing.

(Visitation Room)

(National Forensic Service)

(Restricted Area)

Sir, have you identified the body of the guy...

who had a name card in his throat?

Yes, he's Baek Sung Cheol.

His sister just came in to confirm.

He was killed right after he went missing.

What was the cause?

Suffocation.

They wrapped his head with plastic and suffocated him.

The other bodies aren't in good condition, so it's hard to judge,

but seeing that they were also stripped and wrapped in plastic,

they were most likely killed in the same way.

This one's the only one done poorly.

The plastic isn't wrapped properly...

and he's still wearing clothes.

Yes. That's also the only one that had unscathed fingers.

Just that one body.

It's almost a perfect crime.

His skills grew better.

- Probably. - All right thumbs, right?

Were they cut when they were alive or after they were killed?

When they were alive.

With a sharp metal, in one blow.

Do you think it was done by the same person?

Probably.

They were all killed in the same way.

Unless someone passed on the method.

But that's unlikely.

But...

he's definitely a weird one.

How weird?

He knows how to restrain himself.

Unlike most serial killers, he killed once every few years.

Once a killer commits murder,

the period tends to shorten.

They can't hold back from the stimulation.

It can be once every few months at first,

then it becomes once every few weeks, then every other day.

He must be committing murder with a purpose.

Could it be for money?

Or honor?

For a belief, relationship, or whatever.

When a person becomes extreme,

they need something to hold on to.

What is it?

I didn't ask why he had a name card in his throat.

That was the reason we were able to identify him so quickly.

He swallowed it himself.

The culprit will get caught only when his identity is confirmed.

I would have done the same.

It won't be over just because I'm dead.

(Seyang Police Station)

There she is.

Good job, Mr. Do.

Everyone knows about it, so we'll have to investigate properly.

I'll take care of it, ma'am.

This isn't a corruption case.

What's up with her?

She's going to close the case by putting up a plausible suspect.

Like who?

Park Si Young.

Last night, we found six bodies...

buried in Sungil Eco Park.

They were all adult male bodies, and it seems to have been used...

as a burial ground for more than 15 years.

We are focusing on having the bodies identified,

and the whole team is trying to identify those who went missing.

We have created a special team with Mr. Jang's team members,

who are known to have the top detection rate in the country.

Mr. Jang?

Could you give us more details about the conditions of the bodies?

The bodies were all wrapped in plastic...

Look at him showing up now that the case is more serious.

There's a reason for his success.

Now the National Forensic Service is working on...

Where's Mr. Do?

He went back to the office.

They're working on identifying each body...

Tell him not to even think about getting involved with this case.

You too. Let's not make it complicated.

The bodies seem to have been buried at different times.

Will Kim Jae Myung be released on parole?

Probably.

What was on the ledger to make you so worried?

The thug who discussed the ledger with Kim Jae Myung is also dead.

Is your name on that thing?

You shouldn't be calling him that!

Ask your father.

It's been more than 15 years. Why don't you make up with him?

I, Yeom Dong Sook, promise to arrest the culprit...

for the honor of Seyang Police Station.

It doesn't matter if it's the slightest bit of information.

If anyone has anything to report regarding the case,

please call up the Special Investigation Team...

or me, directly.

(Yeom Dong Sook)

I guess she's confident enough to be handling the case herself.

Or she found someone who could be used as a suspect.

What do you mean?

They're going to be investigating with Park Si Young as the suspect.

The time Park Si Young became an officer...

matches up with the time the first body was buried.

They've been keeping an eye on the prison,

so they must know that Baek Sung Cheol visited him.

And Park Si Young was the one who told us where the bodies were,

so he's fit as a suspect.

Yes.

But he's not the culprit.

He had scars from having his thumb stitched up.

I think his thumb must have been cut at the ecology park.

That's why he knew about that place.

Didn't he mention that?

He did say something similar.

Does that mean an officer was attacked by the murderer?

The culprit even threatened a prosecutor.

Do you think the culprit of this case...

is the one you've been looking for?

I think so.

So you're saying Park Si Young is not the culprit?

Do you remember what you said when we first assembled the team?

You said the police are responsible for what happened to you.

I still think so.

The culprit is from the police?

Mr. Kim also had his finger cut off.

The guy who killed Mr. Kim also had a police gun.

Just because they're carrying police gear...

doesn't mean that it was a police officer.

And we can't be 100 percent sure about what Park Si Young said.

Putting your emotions ahead like that blinds your judgement.

Are you being like that...

because the higher-ups will cover it if the culprit is a police officer,

or is it because you don't feel comfortable that a police officer...

is a serial killer?

I'm an inspector.

I investigate corruption within the police force.

I'm saying we need more evidence since this is an unusual case.

What about Kim Jae Myung?

It was the same with Lawyer Han and Park Si Young.

Baek Sung Cheol was also killed after meeting Kim Jae Myung.

How long will it take...

to identify the buried bodies?

The condition of the bodies is bad.

We'll extract DNA from the bones...

and run them through the identification database,

but that will take at least a month.

Are you saying that all of the other bodies...

are related to your father, Kim Jae Myung?

We'll never know.

Well...

I heard something.

People who went missing like Baek Sung Cheol.

Investigate them.

"People who went missing like Baek Sung Cheol."

What could that mean?

What about Baek Sung Cheol's family?

He has a younger sister,

but she has a clean record.

Anyway, it seems like I have nothing more to do...

for Corruption Investigation Team's investigation.

I'm leaving now.

Let me know if you find anything.

You're not someone who would just give up.

What will you do?

My job as a lawyer.

They say that Baek Sung Cheol has a sister.

Find out what she's doing and if she needs a lawyer.

Is that woman the murderer?

She may not be the murderer, but she could be a criminal.

(Corruption Investigation Team)

- Ms. Jo. - Yes?

You're going to National Forensic Service, right?

Yes, sir.

Do they also know that our team got suspended from the investigation?

Yes, they'll probably know about that,

but it's still okay because I know some people there.

The DNA will be extracted today...

and sent to the forensics in Seoul.

I'll see how things go there and tell you about it.

I'll send medical records to your email.

Ask them...

to compare it to the bodies before the DNA extraction.

What kind of records are they?

The researchers must be convinced if you want them to do that.

They're from people who went missing like Baek Sung Cheol.

It's the medical records of such people.

Bring me the results when they're out.

Send them immediately wherever I am.

Yes, sir.

We can't investigate anymore. What should we do now?

We'll be busy for a while because of the investigation.

What investigation?

Jang Hae Ryong will try to keep you locked up somewhere...

until this case is closed.

He must think that I'll mess up the investigation.

That's why I'm saying this now.

We can stop Kim Jae Myung from being released on parole.

"Article Six of Regulations for Parolee Reviews",

"Reviewed Contents for Relationships with Guardians".

Young Goon, you're his family and a victim,

so you'll be a big influence on that decision.

Isn't it better for you if he got released?

He's at the center of all cases,

so he's easy to investigate.

You can even watch why he wanted to get out.

It's because I don't know what he's thinking.

Mr. Jang ordered us to bring you.

He wanted to ask about the situation when you let Park Si Young go.

Think wisely.

Mr. Do.

You said that I can decide if he'll get released on parole.

Are you sure about that?

It's your call.

Then I should check how much President Jung wants that ledger.

You went through a lot.

Then I'll see you...

during the next investigation, Deputy Commissioner Park.

Okay. You should go.

I want to stop by the bathroom.

- Go ahead. - Yes, sir.

- Shall we go? - Sure.

Sir, we're about to go to the scene.

Then why do you need to talk to me?

We went through so much this time.

You're still here.

Consider yourself lucky.

I wanted to sue you for excessive use of force, but I changed my mind.

Then you can do that now.

What did Park Si Young tell you about that place?

I'm talking about the place where the bodies were buried.

Let go of me. Help me.

He told me not to worry...

because it'd never be investigated.

He said...

that a police officer will get in trouble.

If you run your mouth,

I'll reveal that you're in a hospital when you're not injured.

Do whatever you want if you want to roll in the mud with me.

Where do you think you're coming in?

"Article Six of Regulations for Parolee Reviews",

"Reviewed Contents for Relationships with Guardians".

You must know well that I'm his family and a victim.

Would you be okay if Kim Jae Myung couldn't get released?

The murderer is a police officer.

He's a lunatic that murdered people and cut off fingers.

It was the doing of Park Si Young, a former police officer.

I won't ask why you want the ledger so much.

I'm sure that you must have your own reasons...

for the names or whatever there.

I'll try to let Kim Jae Myung out.

Instead, let Mr. Do work on the case after his interrogation.

Commissioner Yeom will refuse that.

We need to quickly arrest the murderer and get the spotlight.

She's not someone who will listen to your nonsense.

You said that Park Si Young told you about the site.

Why did you let him go?

Things would have been simple if you had kept hold of him.

The bodies that were found from the scene...

had their thumbs cut off.

Park Si Young's thumb was cut off and stitched on too.

He isn't the murderer.

I'll investigate the case, so just answer my questions.

You investigated Baek Sung Cheol in the past, right?

Don't you feel ashamed that he was found dead?

I said that I'll ask the questions.

That was the best I could do at that time.

The information was from a very reliable source.

What source?

Who would investigate cases if we revealed all that?

You let Park Si Young go and shot Oh Sang Do.

This isn't the time to wonder about the source.

Just do what I say if you don't want to go to prison.

Hello?

Where are you now? What about Mr. Do?

I'm on my way there,

and he's in Special Crime Squad's interrogation room.

He won't be able to get out for a while.

I identified the buried bodies.

I'll be there.

(Baek Sung Cheol, Hong Sung Jin, Kim Joong San, Jeong Woo Young)

All three of them are wanted people who have gone into hiding.

Hong Sung Jin pulled an illegal pyramid scheme,

Jeong Woo Young led the redevelopment of the old town,

and Kim Joong San, the boss of the Samsㅐn Gang,

was investigated for drug smuggling.

How did you find out about this?

I compared them...

to the medical records Mr. Do sent me.

Where are you going?

We have no proof to say this.

I barely managed to get this by begging them.

You said that Mr. Do told you to let him know first.

But he's under interrogation.

Mr. Jang will be there too.

Exactly.

It's something Mr. Jang would like. We must let him know.

Who are you calling?

Hello, Commissioner Yeom. I'm Kim Young Goon from...

- Corruption Investigation Team. - Have you lost your mind?

Mr. Do has had the bodies identified.

Please come to Special Crime Squad if you want to know the details.

What are you really trying to do?

We should get back our case.

I came to get our squad leader.

Have you lost your mind? Get out. Out.

- Let it go! - Hey, hey!

Let it go!

- Stop! - Hey!

Why don't we talk it out?

Mr. Jang, we found out the names of the victims. Aren't you curious?

- Hey! - Let me go!

- Let it go! - I sad let it go!

Wait!

- What is it? - Here you go.

Arrest them so they will not bother us anymore.

Yes, sir.

I did not do it. I stopped you guys.

You held me to my neck.

(Identification of the Victims)

(Identification of the Victims)

(Baek Sung Cheol, Hong Sung Jin, Kim Joong San)

How did you know?

There are many ways to identify, other than DNA tests.

Height, bone frames, dentist x-rays,

traces of metal pins in bones, and things like that.

That is when you have something to compare to.

There is not that many high-profile criminals...

who disappeared in a similar method to Baek Sung Cheol.

Even hospitals remove medical records after 10 years.

Where did you get them?

I picked them up and kept them.

An inspection squad...

keeps a separate record on thugs who disappeared?

That is a bit strange.

There was a chance that the murderer was from the police.

That is what Inspection Squad does.

Then you should have made it public.

Chan Hee, go through Do Chi Gwang's office.

What are you doing?

Hey, what are you doing?

Chan Hee!

What are you doing?

Mr. Do.

Let's talk. Perhaps some place quiet.

We can talk at Corruption Investigation Team.

Was it you who called me?

You come with me too.

Yes, ma'am.

(The Food Stand Broker Murder Case)

If a couple of missing thugs turn up dead,

should we investigate or not?

I am confused.

I do not think the public wants a quick arrest.

Bad guys have been killed and buried.

Mr. Do, I'm surprised by your obsession.

You kept all the old records.

Do Chi Gwang,

I told you to stop it!

Deputy Commissioner Park.

I will do the talking.

It is good that we identified the victims quickly,

but Corruption Investigation Team cannot be leading it.

The journalists might think the murder is related to the police.

It is a murder related to the police.

Park Si Young was a former police officer,

and right before Baek Sung Cheol died, he visited Kim Jae Myung,

who is also a former police officer.

How did you figure that out?

I just the list of visitors.

It seems like...

you paid him a visit a couple of times too.

You did too. You went there in the morning!

I am his family.

I asked to find out if he really is coming out.

Kim Jae Myung went to jail for murder...

as he was being investigated for corruption 15 years ago.

People have been buried since then.

Continue.

The suspect Park Si Young was on the same team.

And he was investigating Muil's ledger.

The ledger that Kim Jae Myung has.

So?

Kim Jae Myung...

might be behind this burial murder.

It is very likely that he knows something.

How can you talk like that when he is your father?

Because I am the police.

Ma'am.

You can proceed as planned.

However, please allow us to dig up on Kim Jae Myung.

As soon as we find anything...

whether it is the murderer or the ledger,

we'll make sure that we should report it to you directly.

We will hand it over to the investigation team.

Goodness.

Ma'am.

We have already agreed on his release on parole.

If we let Corruption Investigation Team work on it,

even the prosecutors won't like it thinking that we are after them.

But I didn't agree with that.

It is not like...

we have to do things that prosecutors like.

We never know. Like Mr. Do said.

Fine. Keep digging.

Mr. Jang, keep investigating on the murder.

Mr. Do will keep investigating on Kim Jae Myung.

Collaborate if needed.

If you need any clarifications,

report it to me.

Mr. Jang, who was your source?

You told me a credible source told you that...

Baek Sung Cheol was about to leave the country.

I can investigate only if I know the source.

Baek Sung Cheol's sister.

Thanks.

What is the name of Baek Sung Cheol's sister?

Baek Song Yi.

They have an age gap.

After returning at 35 from studying abroad,

she worked as a contractor at Gem Trade.

She became an interim CEO after Baek Sung Cheol disappeared.

Summon her.

She does not have any records, with a solid alibi.

If she was an informant of Mr. Jang,

I am sure his team checked her background.

A person without any records...

became the head of her brother's gang after his disappearance.

That is true.

Bring her in...

and find out what Baek Sung Cheol's followers are up to.

I am sure they have reasons to give up the CEO's position.

Yes, sir.

And Kim Young Goon,

The confirmed victims from the list...

I will check them too.

I will check who took their positions after their disappearance.

Great.

Yes, Lawyer Han.

Last night, at Sungil Eco Park...

We are going to reopen this investigation.

I heard you are going to be the defendant.

Do you know Baek Song Yi?

Yes, I know her.

I was talking to her about her defense.

When are you going to summon her?

The newly identified victim...

is Hong Sung Jin, who ran away after a multi-billion dollar scam,

broker Jeong Woo Young, a key player...

in the old town development corruption scam,

and Kim Joong San, the leader of Samsun Gang,

who was being accused of illegally importing drugs.

These three have disappeared in the middle of an investigation...

and are being suspected of Police-Prosecutor relationship...

as well as abetting flight overseas.

Meanwhile, the special investigation team...

(Name: Hong Sung Jin, Address: Sangdong-Gu)

(Baek Song Yi)

I can't look at these anymore.

When was your last encounter with your brother?

I already told you guys yesterday.

Do I need to repeat it?

My apologies. This case is quite big,

so I'm just double-checking.

I was videotaped as well.

Can't you just rewatch that?

I'm sorry, but I have some additional questions.

I'll make it quick.

It was on December 23rd.

I remember it correctly because it was the day before Christmas Eve.

After getting interrogated, he was pretty shaken.

We had dinner together.

I had a business trip abroad the next day,

so I went home early.

He called me later that night.

Right, at 3:10am.

He said he'd go abroad until the dust settled.

That's why I thought he was resting somewhere nice.

Then you immediately became the CEO of his company.

Everyone was afraid they'd get caught, so I stepped up.

Because no matter how much the cops dig in,

they won't find anything on me.

That's different from what I know.

Weren't you Mr. Jang's source?

You told him that your brother had fled abroad.

My brother told me to tell him so that things would be easier.

Honestly, I don't care about the reason.

Money, honor, resentment. I'm sure you had your reasons.

But it must've been impossible to do this singlehandedly.

While you were abroad, you needed someone to kill your brother.

I just want to know who the killer is.

My lawyer will come soon. We can talk then.

Just point him out.

If you do, I won't ask anymore.

I remember him.

He was a detective from the Strategic Team...

who followed Sung Cheol around.

He used to have meals with my brother at our house.

I heard he's the key suspect.

Look closely at the other photos as well.

You're the CEO of a company run by thugs.

You don't need to be loyal.

Of course, I should be since the law isn't involved.

If I don't show my loyalty, I'd be as good as dead.

Ms. Baek, I'm sorry I'm late.

It's fine. I should've waited,

but I already talked with him.

He said he was busy.

Detective Kim can be a bit reckless.

Detective Kim, hello.

I'm not a detective.

Please understand. They're pressured because this case is so big.

If you give them an excuse, they will keep digging into it.

She looks exhausted.

If you're done speaking with her, can she leave?

Let her go.

Let's go.

Was there anything difficult regarding the interrogation?

How much do you know about the company?

Rumor has it that your company was involved in many illegal doings.

I don't know the details.

Then why did you step up? Was it because of the money?

It played a part.

The police have their eyes on you.

We need to be prepared, so please tell me everything.

That's exactly why I hired you.

I heard that you're the best when it comes to criminal suits.

Isn't it because you don't want to cause a scene?

Once the police start taking interest in you,

those who murdered your brother may look for you as well.

We found six bodies.

Do you think anyone would mind if we added one more to the list?

Ms. Baek.

I'm sorry. The newbie is very zealous.

Our team manager needs to check a couple more things,

so we'll be in touch.

If she's not a suspect, tell him to come to my office.

He doesn't need to intimidate her in this dreary building.

Watch out.

Trust neither your employees nor the police.

I'm doing just that.

Commissioner Yeom would like to have dinner...

You said it's our duty to suspect.

That's why I added your photo.

- Because... - No, you did well.

I've worked with him since 15 years ago,

and I know Park Si Young well too.

Right, I decided to join the parole board.

Really? Have you made your decision?

I'm going to see first.

Unlike you, I'm not convinced yet.

I killed...

my wife.

I killed...

You should go now.

I'm sorry, but could you give me a bit more time?

I'm always asking you for favors.

Don't say that.

Tell me when you're ready.

Tell me if you're repenting...

and what you plan to do if you do get released.

After hearing your answer,

we'll file our opinions.

Afterwards, the parole board will make the final decision.

I killed my wife.

15 years have passed,

but I still regret my actions.

Up until now, you've denied killing her...

and claimed to have been deceived by corrupt officers, correct?

They were lies.

After doing what I did,

I lied in hopes of getting out of it.

All right.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Kim.

As his family member and victim, is there anything more...

you'd like to add?

If you don't, we will make our decisions now.

No.

I do have something to say.

The investigation team thinks...

that your brother has made 70 million to 100 million dollars...

from illegal gambling.

I thought we were discussing a murder case.

It's not that simple.

This case could be used as a headline.

Once the investigation starts, you'll be struggling a lot.

What do you want?

The truth.

Before your brother died,

he met a former detective who was imprisoned.

After that, he was murdered,

and you took over his company.

If there's anything you know about what happened, do tell me.

If you do, I'll help you not to be interrogated anymore.

Can you keep your word that there will be...

absolutely no investigations regarding her?

If there's no evidence of her abetting murder,

I can promise you that she won't be interrogated any longer.

I'll think about it.

Give me some time.

Let's go.

Ms. Baek.

Think carefully about this.

A secret destroys the person who keeps it.

When you're answering, you shouldn't hesitate.

If people like him notice that, they will keep suspecting you.

No matter what your decision may be, I'll help you, so feel free to call.

Jae Sik, drop her home.

It's okay. I can go alone.

Are you going to state that Park Si Young acted alone on this?

Yes.

Coming up with a motive was difficult.

But after the other bodies were identified, it became easier.

"A former detective's wrongful sense of justice."

I've decided to claim that he was disappointed by the law...

and took matters into his own hands.

The court is refusing to issue a warrant for the thugs.

We could blame the prosecution. It's not a bad idea.

However, Chi Gwang and Tae Joo met...

Baek Song Yi in private.

She took time off work...

and even removed her belongings from her office.

I'll ban her from leaving the country and summon her.

Let's watch and see.

The ledger and Park Si Young are the main issue right now.

Do you need help?

No, it's okay.

If you don't want to end up like your brother, shut it.

(Lawyer, Han Tae Joo)

(Baek Song Yi)

Hello, Ms. Baek. Have you made a decision?

Lawyer Han.

Help me.

This way.

Sit here.

It's the most comfortable chair I've ever sat on.

Take deep breaths. I'll make some tea for you.

If she's hurt, you should've taken her to the hospital.

Her heart is hurt, and I'm going to fix it.

You should leave.

Make sure you lock the door.

I might get murdered.

I'm afraid to tell the police.

I don't know what to do.

Take your time and tell me what happened.

Talking out loud about what happened...

helps immensely.

I met him...

in the parking lot.

Did he threaten you?

Yes.

He told me to shut it...

if I didn't want to end up like my brother.

Like your brother?

About the call I received on the day he went missing...

Right. He called you late at night.

What did he say?

It wasn't him.

(Sung Cheol)

Hey, what is it?

Are you Baek Song Yi?

He said Sung Cheol had decided to retire.

He wanted me to take over.

He said everything would be okay...

if I did what I was told to.

He was speaking politely,

but his voice was terrifying.

Tell me.

What did he say exactly?

"Where do you think our humanity comes from?"

He said my brother was no longer human.

It's okay.

It's not your fault.

He gives me orders regarding how to run the company.

He tells me how to expand the business, launder money,

how many employees I should hand over to the cops. Everything.

And who is he?

I don't know.

He contacts me every now and then through spam messages.

Five roses of Sharon means I should call him.

He will assign a phone booth to me,

and I'll have to dial this number.

In this case, the password is 84525.

After that, I'll be connected to voice mail and hear his orders.

"Expand your business." "Scale it down."

"Lie low for the time being."

Tell us which phone booth it is, and we'll call him.

The voice mail gets deleted after I listen to it,

and he contacts me through a different number every time.

If he finds out that you disclosed this information,

he'd give you more than just a warning.

I can't always live with guilt and in hiding.

Fighting back would make it less terrifying.

You've made the right decision.

Next time he texts you, let us know.

Things are getting more complicated.

It's all right.

The more complicated it gets, the narrower our suspects get.

Hong Sung Jin's network business is run by his brother, Hong Ki Jin.

Samsun Gang was inherited to the henchman, Park Jung Geun.

Jung Woo Young's group was inherited to his secretary, Hwang Jae Pil.

All groups were inherited to family members or minions.

And they're running their groups in silence?

They're receiving information about investigations...

and trying to stay legal as much as possible.

If it's like what Baek Song Yi said...

Someone is managing the groups after taking over them.

(Hong Ki Jin, Park Jung Geun)

(Hwang Jae Pil)

(Baek Song Yi)

I checked the security footage of the parking lot.

Lawyer Han, you threatened Baek Song Yi, right?

- Me? - To be specific, Hong Jae Sik.

What are you talking about?

Lawyer Han kept driving alone that day.

May I track your route?

No, that's not necessary.

- It was us. - Lawyer Han.

It's okay. Young Goon won't hand me over to the police.

There's nobody to trust there either.

Did you have to do that?

She was already suffering from the guilt of her brother's death.

She would've changed her mind if you persuaded her a bit.

My finger hurts so much these days.

I can't afford to consider everything like that.

Kim Jae Myung will be released on parole.

I went to the parole board yesterday.

Did you agree with that too?

I'll see what he does outside and arrest him if he breaks the law.

I can't afford much on my mind these days either.

I can't wait anymore.

I won't go to prison, right?

Yes. You won't go this time.

Hi. Ms. Jo.

I'll send you a medical record. Check it.

(Unidentified)

Weren't you against the release on parole?

I was worried...

about both of you.

The world has changed a lot while you were gone.

There are things called smartphones too.

Can you see this? If you press this button,

it can even identify fingerprints.

It's on TV every day.

Then I won't have to explain.

Here's a map.

Point out where the ledger is.

What are they doing here?

Hey, you two...

Deputy Commissioner Park, let the father and son talk.

- I'll be over soon. - Come on.

See you soon.

I won't ask about Mom.

I won't believe whatever you say anyway.

But honestly answer...

just this one question.

Ask away.

Were you really investigating corrupted police officers?

No.

All of that was a lie.

I got this under my name. Use this.

My number is saved in there.

Don't use that old phone.

Aren't you leaving?

Let's talk again later.

I should be with my son for now.

Okay.

This was expensive when I got this.

This place is the same.

I gave this house to you. Why didn't you sell it?

I was afraid...

that I would forget everything if I left.

I have to go to work. Get some rest.

Unpack your things. There's food in the refrigerator,

so eat anything you want.

There's no need to thank me.

I just have to be by your side to keep an eye on you.

Muil's ledger...

I don't have it yet.

I'll give it to you when I find it.

- You're here early. - Where's Mr. Do?

He's not here yet.

This...

Right.

The second body was identified last night.

Do you remember the only body with all fingers intact?

It was a police officer that went missing in 2004.

(Jang Hyung Koo)

Officer Jang Hyung Koo.

Right.

He went missing right before his retirement.

(Wonju Apartment)

What did you hide in the air vent?

Are you doing this because you think I have the ledger?

We all fell in a trap.

I won't betray Lawyer Han.

There's someone else behind this.

It's a police officer who kills disobeying people...

while taking over a gang.

If I came out to kill someone,

who would I want to kill first?

The man you're looking for...

will go to retrieve the ledger.

Do you even have the ledger?
