EPISODE 8

So, would you say the operation was a success?

I'd say so. We blew up all the drugs, just as planned.

We secured video evidence of the drugs.

So, yeah, it was a success. But all of a sudden--

-Where did Bulgae come from? -Jeong Ho-myeong, have any ideas?

That car showed up at the exact moment Bulgae appeared.

It's no coincidence.

It feels like a calculated move with a specific goal.

Ah! That car.

-You scared me. -The car I saw earlier.

It's the van I saw in front of Kim Seonjoong's house

a few days ago.

Let me see.

That's it. It's the same car.

Hey, did you see who was in the car earlier?

Then, once we get the results from the vehicle search,

it'll only be a matter of time

before we find who that woman is and find Bulgae.

-Right? -Yeah, then--

-Should we start planning our next move? -No.

First,

we need to finish the Yoo In-gu operation.

Hey, we got rid of the drugs and secured the evidence.

What more is there to do?

Just because we have Yoo In-gu by the throat

doesn't mean it's over. Yoo In-gu and Han Gyeong-wook

have connections in the prosecutor's office.

If we're not careful,

we could lose all the evidence we worked so hard to get.

To indict Yoo In-gu and connect him to Han Gyeong-wook,

we need Prosecutor Kang.

Starting tomorrow, you and Gang Beom-ryong--

will use the CCTV feeds Ma Gong-bok hacked to find Prosecutor Kang.

If he's still on Yeongseon Island,

he's bound to show up on screen at some point.

Ma Gong-bok and I will look into Yoo In-gu's side.

Me and Mr. Beom-ryong?

Isn't Mr. Gong-bok better with CCTVs?

Hey. Right. CCTVs are his specialty.

-Why me? -Because you...

today...

you overdid it. Take it easy and rest up.

Why are you being so nice all of a sudden?

Jeez, I try to be considerate and this is what I get.

It's because I don't want to see your legs shaking

next to me. Happy?

-No, my legs are fine. I'll do it. Yes. -Hey, when did I ever...

Anyway, let's make sure we wrap things up with Yoo In-gu first.

As for Bulgae, like you said, we practically have him caught,

-so there's no need to rush, right? -Okay.

-Here, drink up. Drink. -Wow. You all worked hard.

You look troubled. Is it because of Bulgae?

-You're too perceptive. -Hey,

after finding Bulgae for the first time in 10 years,

you say, "Let's not rush things." That doesn't sound like Jeong Ho-myeong.

You should be chomping at the bit to catch him.

What's going on? What's bothering you?

I saw her earlier. The woman who drove off with Bulgae.

It was the police officer Gang Beom-ryong has a crush on.

Really?

-What woman works with North Korea? -I don't know.

No matter how much I think about it, I can't figure it out.

It's strange that Bulgae is working with a cop,

and of all people, that same cop was seen at Kim Seonjoong's house.

What Bulgae and that cop are after,

and whether they'll interfere with our plans...

I think we need to find out for sure. Starting tomorrow,

Ma Gong-bok and I are going to dig into that cop, so you know.

Beom-ryong seemed to have deep feelings for that cop.

That's why it's better he doesn't know.

What good would come from him finding out the woman

he has a crush on is involved with Bulgae?

I'll wrap this up as quickly as possible starting tomorrow,

-Keep an eye on Gang Beom-ryong. -Got it.

FIFTIES PROFESSIONALS

OPPOSE THE REDEVELOPMENT!

WHAT ABOUT TENANTS?

Uncle. Uncle, why aren't you--

-Nam-il. -How are you feeling?

Nam-il, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?

Is this really the time to be worrying about me?

-You saved me yesterday. -Yesterday?

I did?

You don't remember again? Uncle, you turned into the Hulk yesterday.

You even asked that lady from Prosecutor Kang's place

to hit you on the head.

That's right. You looked like you were in a lot of danger.

Are you crazy? What if it hadn't worked?

Well, if you hadn't been there in the first place,

I wouldn't have had to. Damn.

Why were you at a drug deal between gangsters? Huh?

I was tricked. It was supposed to be a high-paying job.

Ugh, always with the get-rich-quick schemes.

-You're always-- -No, it wasn't like that this time.

I just wanted to make some money, find a place, and get you out of here.

Because I know you're suffering so much because of me.

You haven't eaten, have you?

Hello.

-We're heading to Haven Capital, right? -No.

Weren't we going to check up on Yoo In-gu?

Change of plans. We're going to the police station.

The police station?

Let me get this straight.

These masked racers, or whatever, appeared out of nowhere,

and you lost all the drugs? And you let them all get away?

Yes. They weren't your average thugs.

That stupid President Yu!

He can't do a single thing right. Damn it. Useless idiot.

Before I get dragged down with him, I'd better pull the plug. Damn it.

Mr. Geum, how are the preparations for rebuilding the Kangsik Gang

we talked about?

We've finished recruiting his men, and now...

-we just need to change the sign. -Okay, okay. Good job.

Good job.

So, when should we make our move?

Right now.

R-Right now? Can you do that?

What's so hard about taking out one piece of trash?

I'll arrange for the disposal myself. In the meantime,

Mr. Geum, find the guys who took President Yu's drugs yesterday.

The martial arts masters or masked racers, or whatever they are.

Them?

They just popped up here on Yeongseon Island out of nowhere,

and they keep getting in our way. We can't just ignore them.

Who knows if they'll start interfering with my plans too.

It's best if we get rid of them completely.

So use all the police you can mobilize,

and check all the CCTV and dashcam footage around Yeongseon Port.

And do it quietly so President Yu doesn't find out.

Don't worry about that.

Yoo In-gu doesn't have the presence of mind for that right now.

I scraped together as much as I could,

but this is all of it.

-Who is it? -Well, it's...

a customer from the casino who came to borrow money,

but we're out of funds, so I was sending them away.

Out of funds? Huh?

-Boss... -Breathe.

Breathe, Boss!

-Mr. Bong. -Oh, Prosecutor.

-Are you okay? -Yes, I'm fine. I'm fine.

-Oh, dear. -I'm not even hurt.

I heard I ruined everything yesterday. I'm sorry.

No, not at all. It wasn't just your fault, Mr. Bong.

Don't worry about it.

But I heard we can't catch the Heaven Capital guys now?

So I've been thinking.

Heaven Capital lost all their drugs, too,

so they're not just going to sit back and do nothing.

They're bound to do something to make up for their mistake,

so what if we use that as our opening?

How? We have no way of knowing their next move.

There is one person who would know.

So you want me to be a double agent? A double agent?

-You think I'm crazy? -You have two choices.

First, cooperate with me and turn yourself in

to the Prosecutor's Office.

Aiding murder,

destruction of evidence, and accepting bribes.

I'll throw the book at you. In that case, our dear Sergeant Kim

will not only lose your badge,

but you'll also do some hard time. About 30 years?

Come on, Prosecutor. This isn't fair. I'm the victim here.

I'm telling you, this is completely unfair.

Or, the second option.

Go back to your precinct. Monitor Heaven Capital's activities.

Report them to us in real time.

Do that, and I'll be as lenient as possible

during sentencing.

Which of the two sounds better?

Damn it.

-So I just have to inform on them? -Yes.

But are you sure it's okay to let him go?

That guy blackmails people the first chance he gets.

He's right. In this business, once a traitor, always a traitor.

No, no.

I'll keep an eye on him.

-You will, Mi-kyung? -Yes.

Hey, Chief.

Is Prosecutor Kang really on Yeongseon Island?

We haven't seen a trace of her.

What, did you expect her to just pop up like in a movie?

This kind of surveillance...

-is a game of patience. -I know, but still.

-Easier to find a needle in a haystack. -Patience, patience,

patience.

NO CALLER ID

-Chief, I have to take this call. -Okay.

Yes, Boss. Go ahead.

It's nothing major, but I need you to come for a visit today.

All of a sudden? Is something wrong?

When do you ever visit unless something is wrong?

And I'm curious about your progress with Prosecutor Kang.

Why? Are you busy?

-No, sir. I'm on my way. -Good. Don't be late.

Oh, man.

Chief, I'm sorry,

but you'll have to watch the CCTV by yourself today.

Why? What's up?

Well,

it's about stocking the shelves at the convenience store.

Headquarters called me in.

I'll be back soon.

-Hurry back. I can't watch for long. -Okay.

Ma'am. You need to see this.

This? What is it?

We weren't expecting a deposit this large. Do you know anything about it?

What? No.

Where did Teacher Park go?

I was about to tell you. Teacher Park didn't show up today.

TEACHER PARK SEONG-HWAN

The person you are calling is unavailable right now.

I'll have a bowl of the soup.

Okay.

Assemblyman Han? What are you doing here?

I thought we were done talking.

Take a look.

HOUSE OF BENEVOLENCE: ILLEGAL FUNDS

ARTWORK FOR ILLEGAL FUNDS

ARTIST, TITLE, PRICE

VAN DOESBURG: COMPOSITION:

EVIDENCE OF ARTWORK RECEIPT AND DISPOSAL

HOUSE OF BENEVOLENCE TRANSACTIONS 300,000,000

Are you threatening me with these fabricated documents?

Fabricated?

Your wife received them not too long ago, didn't she?

Various books and expensive works of art.

-Don't tell me all of that... -I never would have imagined.

That Candidate Kim Seonjoong, renowned as an incorruptible educator,

would use his own wife to raise political funds like this.

You...

If you drop out of the race now,

this information won't leak to the press.

Then Candidate Kim Seonjoong's spotless reputation

as an educator will remain untarnished.

If I were afraid of tarnishing my reputation,

I wouldn't have run for office in the first place.

Seeing this only strengthens my resolve.

Even if it means getting dragged through the mud,

I can't let a con artist like Assemblyman Han

become mayor. I have to stop it.

Candidate.

You must have lived up in the clouds your whole life,

because you have no idea what lurks in the depths below.

Do you know what I learned from dealing with countless people

at the National Intelligence Service?

When a person is faced with suffering,

their innocence means absolutely nothing.

When this story breaks,

the pain you'll feel...

do you think it will just be a bit of criticism?

Public opinion will turn against you.

No matter how loudly you proclaim your innocence,

do you think anyone will listen?

The House of Benevolence that you treasure

will be branded a hotbed of crime and dismantled.

What about your followers?

Afraid of being branded as your accomplices,

they won't say a single word.

In the end, Candidate,

you'll suffer through years of tedious, endless trials,

and you and your wife will be in and out of detention centers and prisons.

I wonder. If Candidate Kim Seonjoong,

after experiencing all of that,

can still stand before me with your head held high

and speak of justice and innocence.

Because I've never met

a single person who could.

But this guy, Sergeant Kim, isn't he in cahoots with Yoo In-gu?

That's right. He's a corrupt cop that Yoo In-gu bribed.

Wait, so Bulgae is working with Yoo In-gu on top of Kim Seonjoong?

He was being chased by Yoo In-gu just yesterday.

Teaming up now? That doesn't make any sense.

I disagree. With her, it makes perfect sense.

To be honest, that officer... I've always thought she was suspicious.

How so?

For three years, she'd come to my convenience store

after her patrol and only eat a boxed meal.

But with those boxed meals,

you can't eat them every day. You'd get sick of them.

I thought it was weird. And recently,

she started giving my brother these looks. I mean, honestly...

A beautiful woman like her...

is interested in my brother and visits the store every day?

Let's be real, that's just unbelievable.

Even I get a jump scare when I see my brother,

and I've known him for over 10 years.

So you're saying she approached Gang Beom-ryong on purpose?

She knew he was second-in-command of the Mount Hua Sect,

and planned to use him from the start.

But you... You seem a little excited about this.

Are you happy your brother's being used?

N-no, that's not it. I'm just worried, that's all. Worried.

Falling for a suspicious woman like that, he could ruin his entire life.

Anyway, we don't know anything for sure yet,

so let's just keep an eye on things.

Until we're sure, don't let Gang Beom-ryong know.

Okay, sure.

Yesterday? It was just like last time.

You suddenly went nuts with weird footwork.

Doing some weird footwork and throwing kicks everywhere.

What are you doing?

I was just trying a few things, hoping I'd remember something.

Want me to help you with that?

-Huh? -I mean,

I may not look it,

but I spent a long time in violent crimes before becoming a prosecutor.

I've handled so many different cases that

just by looking at someone's face, behavior,

or even their belongings, I can get a general sense

-of what their life is like. -Wow, you can do that?

When you were found on the beach ten years ago,

did you have any of your belongings with you?

If I see them, as for what kind of person you were,

I could probably make a guess about what you used to do.

My belongings?

PARK MI-KYUNG

YEONGSEON POLICE SUBSTATION

What is it now?

You have to do your duty.

Do I really have to?

-We're both cops. Can't you let it go? -What do you mean, "both cops"?

Even among cops, there are different ranks.

Hey, Sergeant Kim. I was just about to call you.

Sorry it took me so long to call back. So, what happened with the deal yesterday?

I heard things got crazy and something blew up.

Damn it, the deal's completely off. It's absolute chaos over here.

Oh, man. That's awful.

Anyway, I have an update for you on that.

-Are you free now? -N-n-now? You want me to come over now?

Yes, yes. I'll be right there. But boss, I've got a new recruit.

Is it okay if they join us?

Yes, boss.

There they are. They're coming out.

Those corrupt cops are on the move. Something's definitely up. Quick.

Start the engine, now.

God, you're so loud. I'm starting it, okay?

Come on, hurry up. We're going to lose them.

-Just buckle up, quick. Sheesh. -Sheesh.

They're really leaving.

-Come on, get closer! -Hey, shut up!

-Boss, I'm sorry. I'm a little late. -Hey, why are you always late?

Huh?

Who's this?

Introduce yourself. Go on. Say hello.

It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Officer Park Mi-kyung.

-Oh, the recruit you mentioned. -Yes.

I brought her along because she's sharp and could help.

Is that so?

-Hello. I'm Geum Kang-sik. -Yes.

You're a class act, Boss.

But why meet at the port? I thought the deal was called off.

The deal fell through, so Sergeant Kim...

...and our rookie here have some work to do.

The dashcams and CCTV footage from around here last night...

-I need you to gather all of it for me. -What? Why?

Why so many questions? Damn it. The guys who ruined the deal yesterday?

We got special orders to find out who they are. Got it?

If we search through enough footage, we might find their trail. Damn it.

But our rookie here... you think she can handle it?

I'm a little worried since she's new to this.

Patrol is my specialty. Don't you worry.

Wow! Patrol's her specialty!

Specialty. Right, okay. In that case,

put that specialty to good use and find something for me.

If you do, I'll make sure you get a nice incentive.

An incentive! President Yu is so generous.

President Yu? What are you talking about? President Yu can't find out about this.

What? Didn't President Yu order this?

Listen to me carefully. Got it? President Yu is finished.

If you don't want to get dragged down with him,

delete his number from your phone. And don't answer if he calls. Understand?

Right. Then who gave these special orders?

Chairman Do of Heaven Casino. You wouldn't know him.

I think those bastards are following us.

You don't think they're on to us, do you?

We stuck to the route I planned.

-On to us? No way. -You never know.

We shouldn't just be watching that officer.

Shouldn't we have stepped in and done something ourselves?

Hey, I told you. Our target isn't the officer, it's Bulgae.

Just be quiet and watch.

You have no patience.

I have no patience?

President Jeong, I think you've got it all wrong.

Boss Beomryong and I have spent the last 10 years

preparing to avenge the Big Boss.

Always waiting, always being patient, always enduring.

Tch. How very impressive. All this for your precious Big Boss.

President Jeong, you can say that to me,

but don't you dare talk about the Big Boss like that

in front of Boss Beomryong. To Boss Beomryong, the Big Boss was...

...a respected mentor and the father who took him in.

If anyone goes against the Big Boss's wishes

in front of Boss Beomryong, ...or insults his memory?

That's an immediate declaration of war. Do you understand?

So foolish.

No matter how much respect and loyalty you show him,

do you think your Big Boss in prison will even know?

You see, people never see their loyal subordinates

as human beings. They see them as obedient dogs.

Are you speaking from experience? Why are you so cynical?

You must've been burned by someone pretty bad.

This is advice from an NIS Agent who's been through it all.

Just be careful.

-Boss, is something wrong? -No, nothing's wrong.

I just wanted to see you, that's all.

So how are things going with Prosecutor Kang?

Yes, sir.

-Are you having any trouble? -Not yet--

Things aren't organized enough for a full report yet,

so I'll update you when things are clearer.

I guess I'm just bothering you when you're busy, huh?

Not at all, Boss.

Maybe it's from being lonely after so long in prison,

but these days,

I find myself thinking about the old days a lot.

In the last 30 years, do you know how many guys stabbed me in the back?

-Do you remember? -Twelve.

Twelve.

Among them was my best friend of 40 years,

and another who was like a son to me, who followed me like a father.

After being betrayed by all of them, I ended up living like this.

And it makes me wonder if I, Hwang Hasan,

have lived my life all wrong. My heart just feels...

-so troubled. -That's not true, Boss.

Absolutely not, Boss.

But when I think about it,

even though twelve men betrayed me, one man, Gang Beom-ryong,

stayed by my side with the loyalty of a hundred men.

I can't tell you how reassuring that was. You know?

So what can I do, huh?

This Hwang Hasan, who's lost all trust in people,

can't even trust his own wife and kids,

but he trusts Gang Beom-ryong with his life.

I'll do it.

Beom-ryong.

From now on, you're the only one

I'm counting on.

You know that, right?

Yes, I understand.

From now on, you're the only one I'm counting on.

What's this?

I'm sorry.

It seems you and your man didn't have a very good talk.

So let me get this straight.

This is the outfit Bong Je-sun was wearing when he fell into the ocean?

Yes.

Wait a minute.

Why would you...

have been wearing something like this, Je-sun?

This is absolutely not a reflection of my personal taste.

I'm really not interested in women's clothes. But...

no matter how hard I try, I just can't remember...

-why I fell into the ocean wearing this. -Okay. So,

Then,

were there any other belongings?

The old man who found me said there was just an ID card and a photo,

but when they ran a background check,

they found no family and no one looking for me.

And the photo?

The photo...

I can't tell what it's a picture of, no matter how I look at it.

It kind of looks like a postcard or a picture from a magazine,

but what do you think, Prosecutor?

What if... your past...

turns out to be completely different from what you imagine?

What will you do then?

-What? -I mean, it's possible. For example,

what if you found out you were a serial killer, or something.

Would you still want to find out about your past?

I'm not saying I haven't considered my past might be hard to accept.

But even so, I want to find out.

My past is part of who I am.

I'm already prepared.

Whatever kind of person I was,

I've resolved to try...

...and accept it.

Well then, I'll be taking my leave. Yes.

-No need to sit. This will be quick. -Sir?

I've committed a grave error.

-I can explain everyth-- -And will an explanation...

-...turn your failure into a success? -Deputy Chief Han.

Frankly, I don't care if you sell drugs or kill a prosecutor, President Yu.

If the job had ended in success with no loose ends,

I could have even overlooked you acting on your own.

But...

...how could you... ...screw things up this badly?

I'll handle everything.

I'll hunt down the masked bastard who ruined the drug deal,

-and I'll cover the missing funds-- -This isn't about handling it.

It's about taking responsibility.

Get out of all your businesses and hand them over to Chairman Do.

Deputy Chief Han, how can I just hand my businesses to Chairman Do?

-I think there's been a misunderstanding. -The Deputy Chief is finished. You can go.

I'm being treated unfairly.

Unfairly?

Yes, I'm tired of hearing that.

"It's unfair." "I didn't do anything wrong."

Do you know what all you people have in common?

After two hours alone with me, their attitudes completely change.

Then they forget everything and start begging me to spare them,

rattling off every single one of their misdeeds.

What makes you any different?

Secretary Baek.

Let me ask you just one thing.

Did that bastard Do Hyeon-tae set this whole thing up?

Kang-sik.

-Yes, sir. -Get all our boys together.

What are you planning on doing, boss?

I'm not in my coffin just yet. I have to at least put up a fight, right?

-Tonight, we're taking down Chairman Do. -Boss, it's too risky.

To hell with "risky." All of my businesses,

my blood and sweat, are going to Chairman Do.

If I let that sly fox be, how can I show my face in this line of work again?

I'll crush Chairman Do and get my businesses back.

And I'll settle the score with Deputy Chief Han.

-You understand? -Yes, I understand, boss.

-I'll have the men ready. -Good.

I'll show them who Yoo In-gu is.

You look tired.

That son of a bitch, Yoo In-gu, had to go and do something pointless,

and now he's going to be a real pain.

But won't Chairman Do manage the businesses just fine?

Chairman Do is useless for anything but legitimate business.

Yoo In-gu was at least good for getting his hands dirty.

Didn't Chairman Do say he'd find a suitable replacement

for under him?

If we want the Yeongseon Island project to go smoothly to the end,

someone like that won't be enough.

We need someone who's been through hell,

a true battle-hardened veteran.

SENDING FILES RELATED TO THE PASSENGER FERRY INCIDENT

2016 PASSENGER FERRY ONBOARD CCTV

She wasn't an unidentified woman.

It was Bong Je-sun.

North Korea.

TWO NIS AGENTS COLLUDING, MISSING ON THE FERRY… WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN

National Intelligence Service.

Today is the day we find out if the Ingu Gang lives or dies.

Will we let that sly fox Chairman Do take everything

and live as nobodies,

or will you follow me and soar to new heights?

That's up to you.

-Got it? -Yes, boss!

Boss! Boss.

-Chairman Do's in the penthouse right now. -What about his security?

I confirmed everyone, including Director Nam,

-has gone home. -Let's go.

Wow! Nice timing, President Yu. You're right on time.

What do you think you're doing? Can't you read the room?

No way. I know exactly what's going on.

You're here to stab me in the back.

And a guy who knows that is popping champagne?

This is a historic moment...

an upgrade from the Ingu Gang to the Kangsik Gang.

We can't just let it pass.

-To the Kangsik Gang, salute! -Salute.

Hey, Kangsik, what are you doing?

Salute.

President Yu. Can't you read the room?

Who do you think gave me the dashcam's SD card?

Geum Kang-sik, you son of a bitch! How could you do this to me!

Why are you cursing at me, In-gu?

I can't spend the rest of my life getting kicked in the shins by you.

I'm not getting any younger. It's time for me to be independent. Right?

Guys.

Hey, you think you're safe?

Mr. Geum. No, no, it's President Geum now.

It's getting late, so let's send President Yu off,

and have a drink first.

-Yes. -Have a seat.

Guys, what are you doing? In-gu is going to a better place. Send him off properly.

Hey. Wait.

Let me say one thing.

Looks like my Kangsik learned well from me.

He even knows how to backstab his boss.

Chairman Do, I'm leaving,

but before I go, a glass of champagne wouldn't hurt, right?

Champagne? Don't be ridiculous. In-gu... what are you trying to pull?

It's no trick.

I'm just thirsty from the long journey ahead.

Give me a glass. Don't be a coward.

Chairman Do.

This one is such a coward.

-Trying to be clever, huh? -Okay, okay.

President Yu and I go way back. He deserves a farewell drink.

Goodbye.

Hey, don't be a coward.

Boss!

Don't move. Hey, drop the knife.

Drop the knife.

You won't drop it? I'll really stab him. I'll do it. Huh?

Drop it, drop it, drop it, drop it!

-Hey, Kang-sik. -Yes, boss.

-Until I get back-- -Yes.

-Watch your shins. -Huh?

Hurry, go after him!

Hey!

President Yu, you never disappoint.

But...

without President Yu, what am I going to do for fun?

You bastard!

Get him!

Damn it.

Geum Kang-sik...

Do Hyeon-tae, Han Gyeong-wook, you sons of bitches!

Boss, what should we do?

Shit. He can run, but he's still on the island.

What's he going to do without a penny? Damn it.

Put guys at the terminal and search every place he could've gone.

Yes, boss.

ORAN CHINESE RESTAURANT

O-ran. Are you going out again today?

Why?

It's not that.

It's just that we're fully booked with a party today.

No, no. The two of us can... we can handle it...

Never mind!

Don't beat around the bush, say it.

This is getting ridiculous, isn't it?

Since your husband left, you've been out gallivanting all the time.

Do you have any idea how hard Mr. Kim and I have to work?

In my old age, do I really have to walk on eggshells

around my own daughter?

Okay, I get it. All right.

Fine. I'll stay at the restaurant all day today.

I'll handle everything myself, from opening to closing.

You two don't have to lift a finger today.

-Just sit back and rest. -Really? You mean it?

Of course I mean it.

I wasn't planning on going out today anyway.

You two should just take the day off.

Wait a minute. This is so sudden... I'll just have some instant coffee.

Stay seated. Why are you being so spry all of a sudden?

I'll make it. I will.

-Hey, wait. -Are you that happy?

We begin with breaking news.

Candidate Kim Seonjoong, who was leading the polls

for the Mayor of Imcheon election, has just withdrawn from the race.

Candidate Kim cited health reasons for his withdrawal,

but his sudden withdrawal has drawn mixed reactions from supporters.

To my supporters, I want to once again apologize...

though I couldn't repay you for all your support,

I am sincerely grateful.

Have you looked into the matters I ordered yesterday?

The Martial Arts Master and the guys in masks, right?

I've got the Pigs on it, searching everywhere.

And regarding the House of Benevolence employee you mentioned,

I've assigned a few of our guys to it. Who...

the moment anyone approaches, we'll get a call.

Good job, good job. That's my Mr. Geum. President Geum, we're perfectly in sync.

I knew it. Eat up. This is the good stuff.

Stomp harder.

The dirt on this side isn't coming out.

This is slave labor.

These blankets should be in a washing machine.

-Making people do this by hand... -Nam-il, stomp on the edges more.

-You're all working so hard this early. -Prosecutor Kang.

You're taking the boat back to the branch today?

Yes. But it's the evening boat. The evening one.

Just because you're leaving doesn't mean you'll ignore this case, right?

I'll go back, take care of some urgent matters, and come right back.

-Are you busy? -Huh?

There's something important I need to discuss before I leave.

Oh, sure. We can talk here.

No, it's important. Let's talk at a café. I'll wait for you downstairs.

I'm just stepping out for a moment.

What's going on, Uncle?

Did something happen with that prosecutor?

She said she has something important to discuss and wants to go to a café.

See? I told you.

There was something about the way she looked at him.

It's not like that.

But why does she want to see me all of a sudden?

Wait, Uncle. Hold on.

-You're not going like that, are you? -Right.

A woman asked you on a date. What's with that look?

It's not a date.

Nam-il...

...said it was cold and I should bundle up,

so he gave me this hat.

-Does it look weird? -No.

I think it's cute.

Shall we?

Director!

O-ran.

What happened? You resigned? How could you? What am I supposed to do?

What am I going to do!

It's all my fault.

I didn't even realize they had bribed one of my own staff to get to him.

He told me that Chairman Do was suspicious and not to accept anything from him.

-I was so stupid. -No, listen,

please, calm down, Director.

This is no time to be standing around.

O-ran, I'm sorry, but I have to go. I'll explain later.

No, wait. What are you planning to do?

That staff member worked with me for over 10 years.

If I go and talk to him, he'll confess,

and tell the truth that the candidate wasn't involved at all.

If they're willing to bribe someone by threatening their job,

they're not ordinary people.

I'll try to figure something out, so for now,

-just wait here. -Wait for what?

If we wait too long,

he won't be able to take back his resignation.

Because of me,

should he be forced to unfairly drop out of the election?

-O-ran, I must go. -No.

Then I'll go with you.

-With me? -Two is better than one, right?

Let me go with you.

Beom-ryong.

Beom-ryong.

I'm sorry. I was just lost in thought.

I know the visit yesterday didn't go well,

but don't let it affect your work like this.

How did you know, Team Leader?

You didn't look like you were off to the convenience store HQ,

so I looked into it. Why? When you finally saw Chairman Hwang,

was being on a team with the NIS Agent, your enemy for 10 years...

...weighing on your mind?

I couldn't even bring it up.

My Big Boss still thinks I'm working with Prosecutor Kang.

Oh, for goodness' sake.

Then again, Chairman Hwang considers us his enemies, too,

so I guess telling him the truth wouldn't be easy.

But you could just introduce us as comrades

who took down Yoo In-gu together.

I just have no idea how to explain it.

Honestly, who knows when Jeong Ho-myeong and I

will turn on each other-- That's our relationship, isn't it?

What's with the scary talk about turning on each other?

-Ho-myeong's all bark and no bite. -That's ridiculous.

You really don't get it, do you?

Do you have any idea how much Ho-myeong is looking out for you?

-Looking out for me? -Oh, for heaven's sake.

He told me not to say anything... but I have to.

We get a new boss, but we're still doing the same old crap.

Surveillance, beatings, and threats every single day.

I'm so sick of it.

You can say that again.

Our boss even got a promotion. Tell me about it.

What the...?

-Yeah? -Boss, Kim Seonjoong's wife showed up.

-What? -But she's with another woman.

The woman who came to Kim Seonjoong's house

-in a van. -Oh, the...

The frying pan! The one with the frying pan

-Right. -What should we do?

Hey, stand by for now.

It's broad daylight, so there are too many prying eyes.

Stand by.

Hold on.

First, I need people to handle the clean-up.

YEONGSEON POLICE SUBSTATION

Yes, boss.

Hey, Sergeant Kim. If you have time, do a patrol run.

A patrol run? You mean right now?

Yeah. Quick and clean, just like always.

-You know the drill. -Quick and clean. Yes, send the address.

Yes, boss.

You scared me!

-What brings you here? -What do you think?

-Go. -Huh?

You go watch the security footage. I'll handle things here.

I heard everything from Team Leader Jo.

He said Mi-gyeong...

is the woman from the van.

-It's not certain yet. -What do you mean, not certain?

You said you got a clear look at her at Yeongseon Port.

Hey, what's with you acting all considerate

and cutting me out of the loop?

Do I look like some fragile idiot who can't handle it?

Yeah, you kind of do.

Why you son of a bitch.

It's not like I did it just for you.

I needed to investigate it objectively, without emotions getting in the way.

So you don't need to thank me.

From now on, tell me everything.

We're supposed to be allies.

We can't be keeping secrets from each other

Answer me.

-Is that a patrol car already? -Let's follow it and find out.

So, what was it you wanted to tell me?

I've been debating whether telling you is the right thing to do.

This could be a huge shock for you, Mr. Je-sun.

But I felt you needed to know.

Yes, you're right. Yes.

If it's difficult to say, you can tell me later.

But procrastinating isn't my style.

Bong Jae-sun.

Wait, hold on. This is my first time... no, not my first time, but still--

I need some time to think. This is all just so sudden.

But you did decide that no matter what your lost past held,

-you would accept it all, right? -Huh?

Oh, yes. That's right. But why do you ask?

Based on the evidence,

Bong Je-sun, in your past... you were a special North Korean Agent.

What?

Take a look at this article.

An NIS Agent and a North Korean Agent

went missing on a passenger ferry during a rendezvous.

If you look at the article's date,

it lines up with the day you were rescued from the ocean,

right?

And crucially,

the dress the woman in the photo is wearing,

doesn't it look familiar?

It's the same dress you showed me yesterday.

No way. That's ridiculous.

No, that's not it. Me, a spy?

I mean, maybe if I were an NIS Agent,

but I don't even have a North Korean accent.

My ID says I'm Bong Je-sun. This is ridiculous.

Many spies who've been in the South for a long time

don't have an accent.

And if you were an NIS Agent,

the National Intelligence Service would've contacted us

when we ran the background check.

But even after all those background checks,

we couldn't find a single friend, let alone family, right?

As you can see, all of this evidence points to one thing.

I'm sure of it. You're a North Korean Agent.

I was alone from the very beginning.

So I really don't have a family.

-Bong Je-sun, I know you're confused. -No.

I'm just Bong Je-sun.

Bong Je-sun.

-Hey, they're here. Get ready. -Right. Let's go.

YEONGSEON FOOD

-Aren't those guys from Heaven Capital? -They are.

Hey, shouldn't we do something?

They look like they're about to cause some real trouble.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing? What are you doing?

So we're just supposed to watch?

Did you forget Prosecutor Kang's orders? She said to only monitor them.

We shouldn't get involved and make things worse.

Just wait,

and if a report comes in, we'll just handle the cleanup.

I'll go check it out. You wait here.

You think you can handle it alone?

-I should go with you. -Hey, they know your face.

Wait here.

29 Samil-ro. Requesting backup for a missing 6-year-old. We're close by.

What should we do?

Nothing's really happening here.

-Let's go. -Okay, got it.

Let's go.

Please leave. I have nothing to say. Teacher Park.

If something is wrong, you must make it right.

Didn't you see that my husband resigned today

because of you? Please, stop.

If you keep this up, I'll be the one who gets hurt.

Hurt? Please, tell me. Are you being threatened?

Who... Who are you people?

What are you doing? Get her out of here! Now! Get her out!

Hey, wait. Who are you? What are you doing?

Let go of me! Hey, what are you doing!

You don't have to do-- you don't have to do this.

What do I do?

I said let go!

What are you doing? You can't even handle one person? Move

Please, help me. Please!

Chang-soo, if you just help me this once, I can get back on my feet.

Word travels fast in this business.

I heard you lost your drugs, went broke, and that all your backers left you.

Why would I trust you enough to help?

Hey, you disloyal bastard. You can't do this-- not to me.

Look at this... The bastard who stabbed his own Big Boss

in the back is talking about loyalty.

Don't drag me into your mess. Just go crawl into a hole and stay there.

Hey!

The martial arts master, Prosecutor Gang Yeong-ae.

Why are they still alive?

They were working together all this time.

Even if I'm going down, I'm taking all of you with me.

Je-sun!

Let go of me!

Get out! I'm not letting go! This woman's crazy.

What do I do?

SPECIAL THANKS TO KIM SANG-KYUNG AND KWON YUL

FOR THEIR SPECIAL APPEARANCES.

FIFTIES PROFESSIONALS

Are you sure about this?

I'll tell them everything. That I was a black ops agent

-for the National Intelligence Service. -So you've been lying to me for ten years.

Those guys are terrifying.

They're not someone a mere police officer like you can handle.

I don't see any reason why I have to listen to you.

-What do you think of my uncle? -You seem like a really good person.

Bulgae. He doesn't have amnesia.

He's a human weapon trained by North Korea.

-But I really don't remember anything. -He's definitely up to something.

From what I've seen, it looks like he's really lost all his memories.

Cut the act, you damn spy. You're not Bong Je-sun. You're Bulgae
