EPISODE 14

You ordered Jo Seong Dae...

to kill Park Gun Ho, didn't you?

You'd better admit it already.

Stop pretending you know nothing about it.

We've found solid evidence to prove that you killed Yoon Ji Sun.

You ordered Park Gun Ho...

to kill Lee Dae Chul when he was working at the prison,

but he didn't listen to you. Rather,

he went around telling everyone that Lee Dae Chul is innocent.

That must've made you anxious.

That's why you got Jo Seong Dae to kill him. Am I wrong?

Why look for evidence now?

You should've done it back then.

Because you and Nam Guk Hyun manipulated the evidence together.

"Manipulated"?

Well...

If that is true,

you should've also found out about it back then.

Also...

Park Gun Ho? Yes.

The police announced that he took his own life.

You guys announced it yourselves.

Why dig it up now?

That was Nam Guk Hyun...

Right, Nam Guk Hyun.

But isn't he a police officer too?

It basically shows how incompetent and corrupt the police are.

And you guys admitted it just now.

Am I wrong?

Then do you admit that you colluded with Nam Guk Hyun...

and manipulated the case?

If you do, then we'll also admit that the police...

are incompetent and corrupt.

There is another way to make us look bad.

Would you be interested?

It is to confess to having murdered Yoon Ji Sun.

But even if you do,

the retrial is already over,

so we can't prosecute you for murdering Yoon Ji Sun.

In that way, you can once again make the cops look...

really, really bad.

That sounds appealing,

but let me think about it.

The arrest warrant was not aimed...

for your murdering of Yoon Ji Sun.

It's for your instigating Park Gun Ho's murder.

Unfortunately, your prosecution will be limited to that.

That's the reality.

If you repent and admit to your wrongdoing here and now,

I promise we'll stop here.

So Lee Dae Chul got sentenced to death due to a false charge,

and once I help you reveal the truth,

you won't come after me anymore.

That's your intent, right?

You murdered Yoon Ji Sun,

and Lee Dae Chul got sentenced to death instead of you.

Don't you have an ounce of guilt as a human being?

You guys...

don't think I even killed Detective Jang Jin Soo, do you?

You think someone else killed him, right?

If then, you shouldn't only blame someone who killed Yoon Ji Sun.

Whoever killed Detective Jang played a critical role in...

sentencing Lee Dae Chul to death.

Catch him and bring him to me.

Only then, I'll talk to him...

and think about your offer.

Darn it.

My lawyer will yell at me for talking too much.

We're done here.

My gosh.

Even if we put him in a cell,

he will be released only in a few years.

And even worse, he won't realize or regret what he did until he dies.

He's acting tough.

But inside, he's nervous and afraid.

He must realize that.

This is the first time he's realizing that...

he could actually end up in jail. That's our advantage, his fear.

That's why he met Congressman Yoo Jeong Ryeol, to escape the fear.

Congressman Yoo Jeong Ryeol you say?

At this rate, we might lose the murderer again.

Here's the DNA report from the NFS.

- What does it say?
- It's Jo Seong Gi's DNA.

He was a former police officer,

so we could easily check it since it was stored in the database.

You know Jo Seong Gi, right?

Yes.

Do you remember...

meeting him five years ago?

It must be around five years ago.

We recently proved that the dead body is Jo Seong Gi's.

The funny thing is, the time of his death seems to be five years ago.

Furthermore, the time when he was reported missing...

is very close to the time when he was having a meeting with you.

So you think I'm the suspect.

From our perspective, yes.

We do think that the last person Jo Seong Gi met was you.

You know the history between Jo Seong Gi and me, right?

So you know I was looking for Jo Seong Gi all this time.

All things considered, I must be the prime suspect.

But accusing me won't be easy.

You can't just have a hunch...

and formally deem me a suspect.

You're right.

You're a Jeonghan Daily's local news manager,

and your brother is the Minister of Justice.

This will be tough.

Because of my grudge against Jo Seong Gi,

I understand why you could consider me as a murder suspect.

But it's been five years,

and the only thing that remains is the dead body.

It would be extremely challenging...

for you to find the smoking gun.

So without the murderer's direct confession,

wouldn't this case be virtually impossible to conclude?

You are aware that Detective Jang Jin Soo also got murdered...

at the same time and place.

You know that, right?

So...

you're considering my murdering of Detective Jang Jin Soo as well?

It could be a coincidence too.

From what I remember from Reporter Jin Seo Gyeong article,

Jo Seong Gi's body and Jang Jin Soo's body were...

quite far apart from each other when they were found.

If the murderer indeed killed both people,

why did he bury them so far apart?

Wouldn't it be common sense to bury them together?

In common sense, yes.

However,

in case the murderer is used to crime scenes,

wouldn't he want to use that common sense against us?

He burned the vehicle involved in the crime...

and buried the bodies under it.

That action exploits the police's protocol...

not to disturb the crime scene.

That's a nice theory,

but it's not a fact.

If you want to turn a theory into a fact,

it'd require a lot of work.

We're meeting you today as a testifier, so we'll call it a day.

Thank you for your cooperation.

If my testimony helps with your case,

summon me whenever you want.

But not close to the deadline.

I have a lot of articles to review.

I'm off to a meeting.

My gosh, honestly,

you and I are not enough to handle this case.

Yes, Superintendent?

We'll be there soon.

Should I ask for Superintendent's help?

Would he help?

It'd be better than just two of us.

Come in.

Hi.

Did you eat?

Let's grab a bite together.

Sit.

- Enjoy your meal.
- Thanks.

Wait.

Tell the chef to use high-quality pork when cooking this dish.

- It's not as good as it used to be.
- Sure.

Are you guys working remotely today?

Even if you do, it doesn't matter.

The reason we do what we do is to drink.

You can't do this when you are sober.

Why are you drinking here all of a sudden?

- Is there something going on?
- Just unwrap the food.

Do you want the superintendent to do it?

I got this as a bribe,

and it's great.

You blackout quickly and come back quickly too.

Why do you take alcohol as a bribe?

I got everything taken away by you, and this is the sole survivor.

I should have emptied out the liquor first and handed it over.

So I can drink some while being idle.

Why would you be idle?

I want to be idle and relax because you two are giving me a hard time.

Did the higher-ups send an order?

What did they say this time?

You see, whatever mistakes there may be,

not all of them go away even if you sweep them under the rug.

While I'm not looking,

one by one, they slowly emerge into the light.

That's why they say you can't be bad and be peaceful.

Drink up.

Come on, Superintendent, what's going on?

Why are you being vague?

I'm dismissed from my position.

- I'm on standby now.
- What?

Is it because of our investigation?

You see, I'm the victim here.

If I had the chance, I would have...

fired you all and then left.

They didn't even give me the luxury of doing that.

This is preposterous. You should make an appeal.

They have no authority to dismiss you just because you approved our...

investigation that they are not so keen on. What is this?

Isn't it even more preposterous where you two do whatever...

you want with this case when the folks above us are blocking it?

- Come on, Superintendent.
- I told you it's over our heads.

- Why?
- I don't get what you guys do,

but I like it.

Don't stop because I got dismissed.

If you can't do what you do...

because I got dismissed...

I wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.

All the wrongdoers in this case,

catch all of them...

and destroy their lives.

What is this?

- What are you doing?
- What is this?

What are you going to do about it?

- Darn it - Get up.

- What's this about?
- What's your problem?

- Darn it.
- Come here.

- How dare you...
- Come here.

- You can't do this to me.
- Get out.

Yes, I just watched it.

How is this connected to Minister Yoo Jeong Ryeol?

Understood.

I'll see you there...

in 30 minutes.

If you want to ask something, just ask.

Don't go behind my back and talk to the police.

I'll tell you through my article.

You can give me feedback then.

- Should I call a cab?
- It's ok.

I just feel like taking a walk. You guys can go back inside.

Get back inside.

Don't follow me!

SEOBU POLICE STATION

I will be back.

He's worked here for more than 20 years.

We kicked him out of his home.

I don't know what's right...

and what's wrong anymore.

That video earlier...

It was posted on our website by Ms. Kim Myung Sun.

But it was deleted right away.

What's more important...

than who posted it is who deleted it and why.

Do you think this has something to do with Minister Yoo Jeong Ryeol?

Incheon Jeil Trust is owned by Oh Jong Tae.

Oh Jong Tae...

testified to Minister Yoo's corruption at the hearing.

The landfill is in Minister Yoo's constituency.

Do you see the whole picture now?

What do you want me to do about this?

The investigation will be carried out by the police.

But if the press stays quiet about it,

the investigation will lose momentum...

and fall through.

I want you to stop that from happening.

As you know,

Minister Yoo's brother leads our local news department.

You're a reporter, aren't you?

Doesn't this interest you?

The police are involved in this.

You might end up stabbing them in the back.

- I know that.
- So why?

Is this your personal revenge on them for abandoning you?

That'd be a foolish thing to do.

Well, what I want is...

power.

The power to knock down the wall in front of me.

All right. Let's do this.

Oh, my. Hey.

My goodness.

I can't believe this.

You're not even feeling well.

Just focus on getting better.

Make sure you don't collapse again so I won't be called to places.

We agreed that I'd clean the place.

I meant your room.

No. I'll clean your room.

You just...

Wait.

You quit your part-time job, right?

Yes. I told my boss that I'd take some time off.

- How are your eyes?
- They're not red anymore.

Let me see.

Go inside. Get some rest.

No one told you to do this.

Hey. How's it going?

Oh, my. Really?

Jae Woong came to you on his own?

He wants to learn judo?

Unbelievable.

What gave him the idea, all of a sudden?

Did you ask him?

What?

Is that right?

Really?

He knows his mom did judo?

He wants to become like his mom?

AWARD

I see. Hey.

Please teach him a lot.

If he ever fails to pay his fees,

let me know. I'll...

find a job at a restaurant or something...

and pay them myself.

All right. Thank you.

Bye.

Jae Woong. My baby.

Jae Woong.

My baby.

SEOBU POLICE STATION

Hello.

Where's the superintendent?

You haven't heard he's been dismissed?

Oh, that came into effect today?

I forgot to check that.

Too bad.

I came here to say goodbye.

Yoon Sang Mi.

But I'm glad you're here.

I was going to come downstairs to see you anyway.

Be honest. It was your doing, wasn't it?

Yes. This is my job.

Fire me instead.

The superintendent is innocent.

That would stop the whole plan.

Didn't I tell you to push forward with your plan?

Reporter Jin told me everything yesterday.

Yoo Jeong Seok is your target now?

If you mess with him, Minister Yoo won't just sit back.

He'll certainly get back at you.

That's why I'm sending away Superintendent Moon for a while.

What?

There's not much time.

The higher-ups will have someone on their side...

replace Superintendent Moon.

This has to be revealed before that.

As I said,

information is power.

And...

you fight power with power.

As I said,

be more straightforward.

- Who gives you the right?
- Get lost!

Who says you can do this?

- Who do you think you are?
- Stop the video.

That's him.

Do Chang, we have a lot of work to do.

What's the point of catching a thug?

It's a long story.

To put it simply,

when Minister Yoo Jeong Ryeol was a congressman...

Now, what was that? Well...

Just catch him anyway, you punks.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Why is it so difficult to summarize?

I'm Kwon Jae Hong from the Incheon Seobu Police Station.

You're under arrest without warrant for assault.

Hold on. Let me finish my rep first.

I need to stick to my routine.

Let me see. I forgot where I was.

I'll just start over from five.

- Unbelievable.
- Routine, my foot.

- Calm down.
- Five.

Come here. I'll be your personal trainer.

- Come. Let's do this.
- 6, 7...

- Calm down.
- Come on.

Eight.

I see.

What is that punk like?

My goodness.

Find out his phone number and address.

I'll make sure...

his social life comes to an end.

What?

His uncle commands a patrol division?

What an idiot.

And he bragged about his connections?

Please tell him to stop being so ridiculous.

- All right.
- Will you put things in order?

I will.

KOREAN NATIONAL SPORTS FESTIVAL FIRST PLACE

Give this to my son.

Tell him it's from his mom.

Why don't you give it to him yourself?

I'm sure that'll make him happier.

I can't.

His dad filed a restraining order against me.

Then see him at a place where no one can see you.

I'll bring him to you.

No.

I don't want to make my son lie that he didn't see me.

Also,

Jae Woong never tells a lie.

He's such a good boy.

Does it taste good?

Are you happy to keep your mom's gold medal?

She misses you a lot.

Do you miss her?

I do.

But I can't see her.

Dad said...

the police would take her away if I saw her.

Hey, your uncle is a police officer too.

I'm sure they'll let it slide.

No.

I can put up with it.

It's no big deal.

Come on. If I were in your shoes,

I'd go to her and spend time with her every day.

Why are you doing this?

I said I can put up with it.

I really can.

I don't want Mom to be taken away.

Jae Woong, you really are a good boy.

Who put you up to this?

I bet you got paid to beat him up.

No, no one put me up to it.

I told you that he glared at me first.

Come on. You know that I know better than that.

Only stupid punks...

beat people up for being glared at.

You're a gangster, a pro.

What do you take me for?

Are you saying I'm still a member of a gang or something?

Can you falsely accuse me like this just because you're a cop?

I beat him up because he made me angry.

For no reason.

Just lock me up for assault.

If you can, that is.

- Darn it.
- Don't kick the door open!

Darn it, seriously!

Gosh, that scumbag.

Hey, calm down.

I'm just going to kill that scumbag and go to jail!

Gosh! Calm down, will you?

You've got to tame that temper of yours!

Gosh, darn it!

You jerk!

If you mess with me one more time,

I'm going to break your spine in half...

so that you can never stand up again!

Please! What's your problem?

If you keep this up, you'll be reprimanded again.

Gosh, seriously!

Goodness, gracious!

Gosh.

What?

Did you just scoff at me?

Come on. You know better than this.

If you want to scare me, do it to my face.

Or make a bolder move.

Use something like this...

to slit my forehead and make me bleed.

Do it.

Are you afraid of getting reprimanded?

You'll just be suspended for a few months at the most.

Do it.

Don't be scared. Just do it, okay?

Yes, he's asleep now. Come now, hurry.

The director spoke with his dad.

He said he'd be back in two hours and asked her to look after him.

Just make sure you come before that.

All that exercise tired him out, so he'll nap for a while.

My baby.

EUN HEE

Eun Hee, you need to leave now. His dad is here.

Hey.

Yes, I'll pick him up and stop by the store on my way home. Okay.

Hey, Min Sik!

My gosh, I'm so sorry.

I thought you were my friend, Min Sik.

Gosh, I'm really sorry.

You look very young from behind, so I mistook you for my friend.

I apologize.

Is this girl crazy?

Wait, sir. Aren't you Min Sik's dad?

No, I'm not!

Even your face looks so much like his. You must be his dad.

No, I'm not.

- I'm not his dad, okay?
- I was just wondering...

because Min Sik ran off with my money.

You got the wrong person, lady.

I'm sorry anyway.

What on earth was that about?

SEOBU POLICE STATION

Are you going to keep this up?

This won't make me give up on you.

How many times have I told you?

I never got any money from anyone.

Fine. Let's take this to the end and see who wins.

Detective.

I know you're a busy man.

Don't waste your time like this.

Let me give you a word of advice.

What? "Advice"?

I may look like a nobody,

but I'm very well-connected.

When you find out who's got my back,

you'll deeply regret...

treating me like this.

So...

don't resent me later on.

Let's just end this quietly, right here and now.

I'm telling you this for your own sake.

My goodness.

Let's take a quick break.

Darn it.

VIOLENT CRIMES UNIT, DETECTIVE TEAM

I've definitely learned to control my temper.

- Hey.
- Do Chang!

What's going on?

We met up near your precinct because you said you were busy.

Hey, I'm...

Something has come up.

Why is it so hard to see you?

The get-together is almost over now anyway.

What are you going to do? Are you coming or not?

Hey, then...

Can you guys actually stop by?

- My gosh. Hello, sir.
- Hey.

Hello, sir.

You guys are taking good care of Do Chang, right?

Yes, of course.

- My gosh, it's been a while.
- Hey.

- Is everyone here?
- Yes.

- Guys, come on in.
- Okay.

- How have you been?
- Have you been well?

- My gosh, hello.
- It's been so long.

- My goodness.
- Is he a junior officer?

- I think he is.
- Good to see you.

- Hey, what's up?
- Is he the guy?

- Goodness.
- I guess it's him.

Hey, meeting these officers won't do you any harm.

Say hello.

This is the chief of the violent crimes unit...

at the Nambu Police Station. His name is Kim Seung Woo.

This is Jang Min Gyu in the minor offenses unit at the same precinct.

- I'll see you around.
- Ko Min Ho at Yeonsu Station.

- Nice to meet you.
- And this is Do Chang Eui...

- at Jungbu Police Station.
- Hey.

You didn't even flinch.

Baek Gyeong Hun, the cybercrime unit at Dongbu Police Station.

And Kim Gi Dong from the investigations unit.

Lee Taek Jin from Intelligence Crime.

- Hey, what was your name again?
- I'm Kim Sang Gyun, sir.

Right, Kim Sang Gyun.

They're from the regional investigation unit.

Hong Min Ki, Lee Soo Hyun, and Hong Rak.

Do you know what these guys have in common?

Once they decide to catch someone, they make it happen at all costs.

- He can't even zip up his jacket.
- Oh, dear.

Unless you leave Incheon for good,

you'll keep running into these guys day and night.

What about us?

What? Oh, my team.

- Right. Come here, guys.
- Hello, sir.

- Hey.
- Goodness, gracious.

Don't forget about Unit One.

Oh, right!

I thought you guys weren't here.

All right, good.

I have nothing, but I rely on the fact that these guys got my back.

There, I've introduced all my guys to you. It's your turn now.

Let's see which one of us has more influential connections.

Okay? It's a showdown.

Guys, how about a team dinner?

- My gosh!
- That'd be amazing.

- You should come with us too.
- Shall we go for some pork belly?

It's nice to meet you, chunker.

Hey, eyes down.

Yes.

It's a little boring to drink alone.

Do you want to join me for a drink?

Oh, my. You're so good.

You're definitely good enough to get into an art school.

No, I still have a long way to go.

Did you see my son...

doing judo?

Yes, a little bit.

Isn't he so good?

I'm sure he's very good because he takes after me.

He got that strong physique from me.

By the way...

Whose art skills do you take after?

Let's see.

My dad.

Was he good at drawing?

I don't know,

but I think he would've been good if he tried.

You must miss him.

I have to bear it.

Even little Jae Woong does.

Thank you for everything.

- Eun Hye.
- It was nothing.

You take after your father and are good at drawing.

You'll become a great artist.

Isn't my son so cute?

Women will chase after him, don't you think?

Yes, I fell for him too.

- Right?
- Yes.

I knew it.

These are the phone records proving Secretary Nam...

called the thug at the time of the crime...

and proof that Secretary Nam...

wired money to him.

Are you allowed to give this to me without a warrant?

Our team was holding it since a long time ago.

We had a warrant for it,

so it won't cause any problems.

- Why didn't you...
- I told you...

there is a right time to hand over information.

Are you saying anyone could be taken down...

if they mess with the Civil Petition Division?

I apologize for messing with you in the past.

I won't ever do that again.

You finally know your place.

Idiots of Violent Crimes Unit Two,

let's go...

whale fishing.

JEONGSEON

How do you like being in politics? Does it suit you well?

It's all right, once I got used to it.

I'm sure Jeong Seok told you.

I squirmed...

to see if I could beat you.

However, it didn't work.

It's beyond my power.

Why did you want to see me?

I want to go back to being friends with you.

Will that change anything between us?

You're right. At this age,

we need to benefit each other...

to be friends.

I'd like to get a drink, but I'm too busy today.

Let's set a date for next time.

I'm sorry,

but you'll have to be satisfied with seeing me today.

I'm sure...

Jeong Seok is giving you a headache nowadays.

Things are going bad for him,

but if you think about it, it all started in Incheon.

Don't you need someone to solve the problem for you?

Keep talking.

The chief prosecutor of Incheon has to be on your side...

for this to end well.

Fine, I'll look into it like you're telling me to.

Look.

I'll side with you for a while.

You?

Do you think you could?

It totally depends on your judgment.

If you save me first,

then I'll save Jeong Seok.

I'll work with you...

right up to that point.

No more than that.

I'd be embarrassed to.

You are arrested for bribery...

and inciting violence.

What?

You have the right to hire an attorney...

or remain silent.

- Take him.
- Yes, sir.

JEONGSEON

Have you already called the press?

Do you think we did?

They just show up.

Do you admit to the charges?

Does Minister Yoo Jeong Ryeol have anything to do with this case?

Get in.

A word.

Please.

Did you all see the report Jin Seo Gyeong posted?

- Yes.
- Yes.

It'll be hard for her to cover it alone.

Reporter Baek, use your sources to help her cover the story.

This is a big one.

This could involve not only people Incheon,

but also high ranking police officers or ministers.

Find everything you can,

but discuss things with the Ministry of Justice...

when necessary. This isn't just about digging up dirt on them.

Mr. Yoo, I understand your position,

but then...

won't we be missing the point?

It's the director's orders.

Then...

I'll discuss it with Reporter Baek to set the limits.

Okay, I made sure to tell you where our company stands.

If you make a mistake again,

you'll be held responsible on your own, Seo Gyeong.

I'll keep that in mind.

INCHEON DISTRICT COURT

OPEN COURT COMMUNICATING WITH THE PEOPLE

It's too bad after all the effort you put into arresting me.

It was in vain again.

You must be discouraged.

This is part of the process we anticipated.

Process?

That means you haven't given up on me.

It doesn't mean you're innocent because you didn't go to jail.

We can investigate the case without detention.

We won't know the result until we go to trial.

You never know how it will end.

You don't usually fight losing battles.

You're slow in judgment this time.

How was life at the detention house?

I got some good experience thanks to you.

You should get used to it.

You'll probably spend quite some time there in the future.

Ji Hyuk can make a living even if he quits his job as a cop.

But not you, Detective Kang.

You don't have to worry about that.

I have a family member I can rely on.

I'm going to sponge off of him...

and suck him dry.

So relax...

and do whatever...

crazy things you're thinking of doing.

Let's go.

Unbelievable.

OPEN COURT COMMUNICATING WITH THE PEOPLE

Crazy things?

Crazy things...

Things must have been nice for you, Mr. Park.

Too bad...

your boss that does crazy things is back.

I never thought that.

Look forward to it.

I'll go back to the person I used to be.

I've been too quiet.

That's why...

everyone thinks I'm a pushover.

Let's go.

You said no one in your family has money.

Didn't you say they all depend on you for money?

There's one person.

He's younger than I am,

but if things go wrong,

I'll treat him like my older brother.

Who cares about age? You show respect to whoever has money.

Isn't that right, older brother?

I said I'd donate money to Eun Hye, not you.

I know, I'm just joking.

I'll take the chance.

I don't mind getting poorer.

If I get fired,

I'll enjoy my free time.

Let's go, older brother.

Of course.

INCHEON METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY

This case started with Kim Jin Se, head of the environmental union,

being assaulted by a thug.

I checked and found out the video was handed to the police.

Why didn't the police do anything about it?

That can't be true.

You must have gotten something wrong.

The victim filed a report.

She also filed a petition on the police website.

Of course, it was deleted right away.

Isn't that proof...

that the police were trying to cover up that case?

Reporter Jin,

then why would we have arrested the secretary of a congressman?

We're doing our job.

Are you trying to involve us...

to blow it out of proportion?

We have a whistleblower.

- Who?
- Of course, I can't tell you.

Anyway, this case is an unbelievably big one.

The police will have to announce their position.

This case...

is related to the current Minister of Justice, isn't it?

Was this Mr. Yoo Jeong Seok's order?

Clouding the issue by putting the blame on the police?

Am I wrong?

Are you implying Jeonghan Daily is taking sides?

I mean,

this case leaves a lot of room for suspicion.

Still, I'm not saying we won't take any responsibility.

Just give us a chance to minimize damage.

That way,

we won't have to suspect Jeonghan Daily anymore.

The whistleblower is in the Civil Petition Division.

I'm giving you a chance to find someone to take the fall.

Did you tell him the information came from my division?

Yes.

Why does it feel like you're paying them back?

Am I wrong?

You're right.

But you said this isn't your personal revenge.

I'm helping Detective Kang anyway.

Are you sure that's your real intention?

It's not.

Rooting out corruption in the force.

That's my real intention.

Sure, of course.

Why did you put yourself in this danger?

I felt a sense of duty as a reporter.

I want to root out evil in society.

I'll get going.

I'll walk you to the parking lot.

You don't have to.

It'd be boring to walk alone.

I have nothing else to do anyway.

Suit yourself then.

Don't you think we're cut from the same cloth?

I know. I felt it too.

So why don't we be friends?

Only if you promise to keep giving me information.

You really are like me.

Okay, deal.

Can I call you by your first name now?

Deal.

Seo Gyeong, why would you waste your time on this?

I'm incredibly stubborn.

I never listen to anyone.

I see.

- What about you?
- Me?

I just want to become successful.

I'm going to push everyone out of my way...

and get to the top.

See? I knew it.

The thing about rooting out corruption was all a lie.

Of course.

Kicking a few bad ones out won't change the whole organization.

Still, I feel like...

I'm finally doing something meaningful as a police officer.

I'm not so sure.

Am I really something meaningful as a reporter?

Like you said, this won't change...

people or society.

I bought a designer handbag the other day.

But it's been in my closet since.

I do the same.

I don't know why I even bought them. I never use them.

But doesn't it make you happy just looking at them?

You're right.

They're useless, and I don't understand why I got them.

But you know...

I still want to hold on to them.

I have a feeling this case will be one of those.

We'll feel happy every time we look back on it.

Let's go.

What's gotten into you? You're not drinking?

I guess you're all out of alcohol.

- I'm going to quit drinking.
- Quit drinking? You?

Good luck with that.

Why do you have to say that?

She made a big decision. You should compliment her.

He's always sarcastic with me.

You should understand.

That's such a pity.

Now I understand why you've been drinking so much.

Living with someone like him would make anyone hit the bottle.

Why do you have to be like this?

What did I do?

Why are you so cold to your only sister?

I'm not particularly...

My guess is that he feels inferior to me.

You're right. While you won many gold medals,

he won only one bronze medal, right?

That must be it.

What? That's not true.

Eun Hye, you're absolutely right.

While I won multiple gold medals,

you won one bronze medal.

Should I apologize for being good at judo?

Why are you two ganging up on me?

Eun Hee, what did you do to the girl?

I didn't do anything to her.

What happened is, she gave me courage.

I'll get Jae Woong back by all means.

I can't live without him.

You'd better help me...

unless you want me to kill myself, okay?

Just because we want him back doesn't mean we can.

There has to be a trial...

What's the use of a trial?

The law is in favor of those with power.

Do you still not know that after what happened to my dad?

We need to talk.

Why are you dragging her into our family matter?

We can talk right here.

Eun Hye is our family now.

We don't have to hide anything from her.

What? She's our family?

You said you'd keep her close to you for the rest of your life.

That means we're family.

Yes, we are.

What's a family anyway?

As long as we live together, we're family.

Let's eat.

- Eun Hee.
- What?

Eun Hye.

- Yes?
- Let's...

- be happy.
- Don't be ridiculous.

Thank you both.

I'm the one who should thank you.

Thank you, Eun Hye.

- You too, Eun Hee.
- Be prepared.

We have two women in the family now. You're the only man.

Who cares?

My testosterone level is dropping.

There may be...

no man left in the family someday.

- What?
- My goodness.

Seriously, stop it.

MINISTER YOO'S FORMER SECRETARY...

ARRESTED FOR INSTIGATING VIOLENCE AND ACCEPTING BRIBES

MINISTRY OF JUSTICE

MINISTER YOO'S FORMER SECRETARY...

ARRESTED FOR INSTIGATING VIOLENCE AND ACCEPTING BRIBES

Guys, we could have passed this around.

Why did you each get a copy?

It's just a little celebration.

We don't get to go after a big shot like him every day.

I'll pass this newspaper down to my descendants.

"Look what your ancestor did."

"He brought down the Minister of Justice."

Aren't you guys worried? I'm panicking.

Do Chang, is what we did really okay?

What did we do?

All we did is make a criminal confess.

Exactly. We were only doing our job.

They're right. Let's not overthink this.

We were only doing our job.

It's just that things escalated a bit.

We did nothing that we're not allowed to do.

I know, but still...

Are you worried he'll hold it against us?

I doubt the Minister of Justice...

even cares about small fry like us.

It'd be humiliating for him to get back at us.

Let the higher-ups fight it out...

and settle the matter themselves.

You guys shouldn't go overboard either.

This is nothing to brag about.

If you want to brag, go catch the killer.

Once we catch him...

and put him behind bars, then we can brag as much as we want.

- Okay?
- Yes, sir!

If I hide your name,

people will suspect that you and I manipulated the case.

That's why I put your name out there.

I thought it's best to take the bull by the horns.

Please be honest.

Were you aware that your secretary took money...

from Oh Jong Tae?

All I heard is Oh Jong Tae made a donation.

Then let's package it as his personal corruption case.

Say you'll take responsibility politically, but not legally.

Something has been bothering me.

Why did the police...

get this case out now?

Nam Sung Han was arrested by the Seobu Police Station.

They're the ones who took away Oh Jong Tae before my eyes.

They're also the ones who found Jo Seong Gi's body.

Why?

Why is it those ones every time?

We're the only ones who can connect those cases.

To others, they're just separate cases.

Don't you think it'll eventually be revealed?

We can worry about that later.

Let's deal with what's right in front of us first.

Yes.

Okay, you can let them in.

The news crew is here.

Let's talk after the interview.

FORMER SECRETARY OF MINISTER YOO JEONG RYEOL ARRESTED

What are you doing?

- What's this about?
- What's your problem?

Why...

You jerk.

- How dare you...
- Come here.

Who do you think you are?

Minister Yoo Jeong Ryeol's former secretary who worked for him...

when he was in the Congress has been arrested...

for this assault incident.

He's also been charged with accepting bribes...

from a real estate investment trust...

trying to stop this one-person protest.

Let's find out Minister Yoo's stance on it...

through this exclusive interview with him.

Hello, Mr. Minister.

Hello.

I'm sure you're already familiar with the details of the incident.

What do you think about the suspicion...

that you may have had something to do with this incident?

To tell you the truth, I'm in disbelief.

However, I promise you that I will take responsibility...

for everything that I'm accountable for.

It sounds like you're saying you were not aware...

of what your secretary did.

I trust that the truth...

will be revealed once the investigation is launched.

Some are saying there is a political agenda...

behind this due to the upcoming general election.

What's your take on that?

There are no political intentions behind this case.

My shortcomings are to blame.

I'd like to sincerely apologize to the public.

This investigation will be a tough one for the police.

Many are questioning whether or not the police...

will be able to properly investigate the current Minister of Justice.

As the Minister of Justice, I will not try...

to influence the police's investigation in any way.

I will stay out of it.

I will not be kept in the loop in regard to...

the progress of the investigation.

Also, I trust that the police will investigate it fairly.

I know that the police will strictly abide by the rules...

and get to the bottom of it,

so I look forward to learning about their findings.

I see. Thank you for your time and for agreeing to this interview.

FORMER SECRETARY OF MINISTER YOO JEONG RYEOL ARRESTED

The police are also facing an allegation...

that they tried to conceal the case.

They've been accused of...

deliberately ignoring the complaint filed by the victim,

the head of an environmental union in Incheon.

Some are raising suspicion that a high-ranking police officer...

may have been involved in this.

You saw the news, right?

Yes, sir. I saw it just now.

This case... It was those guys at Seobu Police Station, wasn't it?

- Yes, sir.
- Don't do anything.

Just leave them be.

Make sure no one talks about the external pressure.

Yes. Understood, sir.

The media will try to interrogate us too.

I'd like you and your division to take care of it.

Pardon me? But it has nothing to do with my division.

To quiet things down, don't you think...

one of the high-ranking officers should take the fall?

Well, the superintendent of the precinct in charge can do that.

Moon Sang Beom was the superintendent of that precinct.

Moon Sang Beom, whom you already dismissed.

If we try to completely destroy the card we've already thrown out,

do you think people will buy it?

Still, why does it have to be me?

This was started by a whistleblower.

Someone in the Civil Petition Division,

the department that handles all the information.

Pardon me?

But who would...

Hey, why are you doing this to me?

- What did I do?
- The whistleblower!

It was you, wasn't it?

Why are you dragging me into this?

You colluded with the guys at Seobu Police Station...

and got the media on this case.

And you're trying to make me take the fall for it!

All of this was your idea, wasn't it?

What's the point of talking about that now anyway?

Just keep your mouth shut...

and do as you're told.

If you complain to the higher-ups and rebel against them,

climbing up the ladder will become that much more difficult for us.

What?

If I had run into Jo Seong Gi,

I, too, would've taught him a lesson.

Don't jump to conclusions.

There's no evidence that I killed Jo Seong Gi.

What should we do?

The choice is yours.

- What do you mean?
- Tell the truth...

about what happened...

and just accept the punishment.

If you can't do that,

just deny it no matter what.

I will do everything in my power...

to cover it up for you.

You've aged a lot.

Jeong Seok.

No matter what choice you make, I will respect your decision.

I know that I'm the one who started everything.

You've become so weak.

If you're going to overreact because of something so little,

how are you going to manage your political career?

I can give up everything.

Stop worrying about useless stuff. Just go home and rest.

Your judgment has become quite dull.

Jeong Seok.

You must make your decision before it's too late.

That will be the best solution for both of our sakes.

You go your way.

That's what you can do for me.

I can give up everything.

Stop worrying about useless stuff. Just go home and rest.

Your judgment has become quite dull.

Jeong Seok.

You must make your decision before it's too late.

That will be the best solution for both of our sakes.

You go your way.

That's what you can do for me.

Lieutenant Yoon Sang Mi called me earlier.

Civil Petition Officer Go Gyung Ho will resign.

Now,

no one in the police can get in your and Detective Kang's way.

You're right.

Everything is going so smoothly.

Minister Yoo has publicly stated that he will stay out of it,

so there won't be any external pressure,

which means Jong Tae's shield is gone.

So my boss is the only one left now, right?

But it'll be much harder.

It'll be very difficult to find evidence...

to prove that he killed Jo Seong Gi.

We can only rely on Yoo Jeong Seok's confession.

- But he won't confess, right?
- Do you still believe...

that he also killed Detective Jang?

Yoo Jeong Seok and Nam Guk Hyun. It's got to be one of them.

They both had clear motives.

My boss killing Jo Seong Gi...

You're right. I get it.

He lost his one and only sister because of Jo Seong Gi.

But I'm not sure about Detective Jang Jin Soo.

I don't think he has it in him to do something like that.

He used the recording...

to get Lee Dae Chul executed knowing he was innocent.

Just to cover up the murder that he committed.

And he reached out to Oh Jong Tae...

for help knowing that he's the real culprit, for the same reason.

If he did that when he didn't kill anyone,

I'd say that's even more unforgivable.

I think it'll be even harder for me to trust anyone now.

MR. OH JONG TAE

Hello, Mr. Minister.

Hello.

Do you have a minute now?

Yes, go ahead.

I'm bothered by something you said on the news earlier today.

I understand your position,

but what about our promise? You do remember, right?

You had that in your mind when you were speaking, right?

I didn't make you any promises.

- Minister Yoo.
- As I mentioned on the news,

I won't get involved with the investigation on you in any way.

One last warning.

Whatever you did wrong,

you'll have to pay for it.

The more you try to drag me into this,

the longer your sentence will be.

Minister Yoo.

This will harm your brother greatly.

Are you okay with that?

I'm hanging up.

I won't be taking your calls anymore.

You want to go down together?

No, I won't do that.

Why would I go down with you?

What do we have to fear now?

Shouldn't we just push forward...

like you suggested?

I told you that...

you have to solve this before a new superintendent is appointed.

When someone is appointed, I'm sure he'll try to stop it.

You have to close the case before that happens.

All right. Thank you.

That's right.

They won't just sit back and watch.

Look, it's only been two days...

since we arrested Secretary Nam.

We don't even have the report organized yet.

Can't you wait to send the case to the prosecutor's office?

Gosh, that's not fair.

We did all the work...

and now they want to take credit.

Quiet. He can hear you, you idiot.

You said so yourself...

that you trust our investigations.

Let me talk to him.

- Why?
- I have something to say.

Okay, whatever.

This is Kang Do Chang of Violent Crimes speaking.

We'll hand over Nam Sung Han, whom we arrested,

to you.

Okay.

I just want a confiscation warrant in exchange.

If you give us that,

you can do whatever you want with Nam Sung Han,

whether you interrogate him or send him home.

- Wait.
- Who are these people?

- Who are you?
- Who are they?

- Hey.
- What's this?

Wait.

- What is this?
- Who are they?

- What is going on?
- Excuse me.

- Wait.
- Hey.

- What's this?
- What are you doing?

- What is going on?
- Get out of here!

- You can't touch that.
- What are you doing?

- Excuse me.
- Move it.

- Move out of the way.
- How dare you!

- Look.
- Hey.

You should leave.

- What's this?
- You should leave.

- Get out of here.
- Move it.

It's a confiscation warrant issued by the prosecutor's office.

This is the office of Jeonghan Daily.

Are you out of your minds?

How do you think you'll make up for this?

You could be arrested for obstruction of justice.

Are you really planning to fight against us?

You've crossed the line.

This is wrong. You should leave.

This isn't about Jeonghan Daily.

We are personally searching Yoo Jeong Seok.

He is being charged for murder.

- What?
- Murder?

- What did he say?
- Did he say murder?

Move out of the way.

You will only be able to seize material...

related to whatever is indicated on the warrant.

I'm warning you.

You should tread carefully.

- Let's go.
- Okay.

- What is going on?
- How could this be?

- What's this nonsense?
- Is this really happening?

- Wait.
- What is going on?

- Please tell us more.
- Wait a minute.

- Get over here.
- Wait.

- What are they here for?
- This is unacceptable.

- Excuse me.
- What are you investigating?

- Take everything!
- Get to work.

- What is this all about?
- Come on.

Over there.

Yes, sir.

- What is going on?
- What's this?

- How could this be possible?
- Get it.

Get that too.

- This can't be possible.
- Is it about Mr. Yoo?

Be cautious.

All right.

What should we do? Should we fight back?

This is personal. Stay quiet about it.

Mr. Yoo.

Shouldn't you at least give us an explanation?

Why does Jeonghan Daily have to be humiliated like this?

What do you want me to explain?

The truth.

The truth?

I...

killed someone who deserved to die.

- What?
- He killed someone?

- Did he really kill someone?
- That can't be true.

WE THANK PARK JI HWAN FOR HIS GUEST APPEARANCE.

THE GOOD DETECTIVE

You should just go to jail for aiding and abetting murder.

I don't understand why people like you don't know grace.

There is evidence that Yoo Jeong Seok...

killed both Jo Seong Gi and Jang Jin Soo.

You murderer.

Arrest him without a warrant if he shows up before I arrive.

Just let me leave in peace.

Nam Guk Hyun might be right.

All we have to rely on is Yoo Jeong Seok's conscious.

What is truly in your heart, Mr. Yoo?

Jeonghan Daily only reports the truth.

I believe I still have work left to do.

I'll give you a huge gift, Mr. Oh.

Where will you give it to me?

I'm the gift.

This is the gift I prepared for you.
