STRANGER 2

ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS,
LOCATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA
ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

"I'm finally mustering up my courage.

I was at the scene that day."

I saw someone putting something
in the trunk of a car.

Who is it?

He came here knowing
that the suspect is a cop.

So he knew who to pick.

You weren't here on the 26th, were you?

-You didn't see anything, did you?
-Why would you go this far?

What do you mean why?

Here they come!

Why did they cut out a piece of his tie?

You have connections
with the prosecution, right?

EPISODE 15

Get that witness right now.

A fake letter and a fake witness report…

They were there for a reason.
This isn't a coincidence.

This was tied around his wrists.

-So he's alive.
-Yes.

-Are you going somewhere?
-I'm going home.

I didn't know a place like this existed.
It's cozy.

Yes, it is nice. Let's talk business.

It took us a year to arrange
the same meeting again,

and we lost the first trial
during that time.

What are you going to do
about the second trial?

Why are you asking me about Hanjo's trial?

Because you're with us now.

-Am I?
-Yes.

How much do you want?

Is this making you uneasy?

But I talk about money all the time.
I'm good at it.

Your wife's family is loaded,
so it won't be easy to please you.

How much?

I make enough money.
I do pretty well for myself.

How admirable.

We've wasted a lot of time.

The plan we had devised back then
completely fell through.

"Back then"?

A year ago, when Mr. Park told me
that he'd be working for Hanjo.

What he told me was that Hanjo had reached
out to him to ask him a favor.

I thought to myself that
they had probably ordered him

to take care of something,

but I didn't point that out
when he told me about it.

Then what did you point out instead?

I told him, "No one will listen to you
when there's nothing in it for them.

Except for me, I guess.

Childhood friends stay close
through the highs and lows

because they've seen
the worst and the best of each other.

Do you know why people go drinking

and go to the sauna together?

So that you won't be able to act
high and mighty after you've done that."

So you're saying…

Gathering those people there

was your idea?

Correct, it was me. I organized it.

And not just that day.
I was trying to map out a plan

for who else to invite and how many
more meetings would be needed.

Long before you started talking
about money to my face.

But why?

I want to get into politics.

Politics?

Last year, when the debate
over investigative authority resurfaced,

I wondered who'd be put in charge
of that difficult task.

Then I heard it'd be me.

The prosecution won't get their way
this time.

Just as I was wondering
if I should just quit,

Mr. Park wanted to meet up
out of the blue, so I asked him why.

I'm never the one
to take orders from someone

just because they're my seniors.

Then,

he brought up Hanjo.

So I thought,

"There's always a way."

Sponsoring a politician is a lot of work,

but having that connection won't hurt us.

But my question is,

Mr. Park said he did everything himself.

"My junior did all the work.
I only took care of the expenses."

I wouldn't say that either.

-That's true.
-Even if I step in again,

you can't turn the tables.

That's not what I'm asking.

I want to pay the fine
with Sung-jae's money.

That's only fair. I mean, it's his fault.

Then you will

have to acquire all of his assets first.

And to do that, I need live ammunition.

So you don't want them
to collect his fines.

That's why the eastern office
is such a nuisance.

And that division too.

It looks like the major crime unit
brings up Hanjo whenever they get bored.

We're not committing crimes.
We're just being economically active.

The major crime unit is
at the National Police Agency,

but I see what you mean.

Do you like this place?

Yes, it's nice.

Only a select few get to meet me here.

Right, of course.

You can meet me here from now on.

Meeting at a hotel

can be a hassle.

Sure, whenever you need me.

Take it easy.

Why did you two fight?

Pardon?

Didn't you fight?

Then,

why did he die like that?

We did have a disagreement.

That's why I left before Mr. Park did,

but I had no idea that was the last time
I'd see him.

Anyway, the culprit has been caught.
It's all over now.

And starting tomorrow, Prosecutor Hwang
will be very busy with the committee.

Didn't you fight?

Then, why did he die like that?

KIM SA-HYUN

What is it?

Looks like you haven't heard yet.

Is there something I should know about?
I'm driving.

Turn on the radio.

We've requested
a search and seizure on Jeon Gi-hyeok.

Let's see if they issue the warrant.

Whoever did this knows that the real
culprit could be revealed anytime.

They're going all out,
so we won't have mercy either.

It sounds complicated,

but it comes down to who'd have
the motive to do such a thing.

I mean, the division itself
has nothing to do with it.

The debate over investigative authority
will affect the entire prosecution,

but would a prosecutor
at a local prosecutors' office

suddenly think to sacrifice himself

and send a fake letter and hire someone
to pretend to be a witness?

But clearly, this can't be a random prank
because the victim is a prosecutor.

If you see here…

A gambler who had been convicted
of forgery in the past sent this

acting as if he was the culprit.

And what did we find?

See this here? They're saying
this is the police emblem.

And this was found on the prosecutor
we rescued earlier today.

Can you all see this?

Maybe it's too small
for those of you at the back to see.

You're all busy typing away.

This hardwood floor and this table.

We've verified that it was taken
in the residence of the fake witness

who said he saw a cop
abducting the victim.

That hasn't been confirmed yet.

But we didn't try to weasel out of it.

We arrested the cop
who was pegged as the culprit.

But it was all a lie.

Who could be behind this?

Would a police officer assault
and kidnap a prosecutor,

then send a blood-soaked tie?

Who'd benefit from this?

The Criminal Legislation Division did this
to keep the investigative rights.

Proving this would be simple.

We can seize the fake witness's
phone and computer

If the Criminal Legislation Division
is behind this, who could it be?

It doesn't matter
whether it's Woo Tae-ha or Kim Sa-hyun.

As long as it's one of them.

Then we'll win this fight.

If those in the Legislation Division
feel falsely accused,

they should grant us the warrant.

Even as we speak,
we're begging them right now

for a warrant that should be
rightfully issued.

As you just saw,
the National Police Agency

made an official statement regarding
the prosecution's alleged involvement.

They are saying that…

I should tell you about
the Criminal Legislation Division first.

It was formed to protect
the prosecution's investigative authority.

The police are accusing the Criminal
Legislation Division of trying

to diffuse the increasing demands
to redistribute investigative authority

between the police and the prosecution.

It's preposterous.

What prosecutor would collude
with an ex-con and orchestrate this?

The prosecution has done
many nonsensical things.

Before we continue this discussion,

let's take a look at the statement

released by the prosecution this morning
regarding the accusation.

We'll continue
after hearing their rebuttal.

If an ex-con went out of his way

to peg a cop as the culprit,

shouldn't we look into whether
they have had any past involvements

or if he's holding a grudge against him?

How could they accuse us instead?

I mean, it's common sense.

It'll be revealed
as soon as the case is solved.

Why would anyone use such a clumsy trick?

Yet the Senior Superintendent General
went out of his way

to hold a press conference in the middle
of the night to make baseless allegations.

Can we leave public order and security
in the hands of someone like that?

It is such a shame.

The prosecutors
of the Criminal Legislation Division

have themselves denied the allegations
raised by the police.

However, we just received news

that has left
even ordinary people like us puzzled.

Yes, the warrant request was denied.

The prosecution rejected
the search and seizure on Jeon Gi-hyeok.

The prosecution mentioned common sense
in their statement.

If they have nothing to hide,
they should investigate it.

That's common sense.

It was the central office
that rejected the warrant.

They didn't reject the warrant.

They just asked for more evidence
since it's an important case.

There's no solid evidence,

so the police should investigate
the case further.

That's why they need the warrant.

-Otherwise, why would they need it?
-As for the fake witness,

the central office was always in charge.

You're making it seem as if

the Criminal Legislation Division
told them not to issue the warrant.

-But times have changed.
-Yes, my point exactly.

-Hello?
-Do you have any dirt on Woo Tae-ha?

-Or Kim Sa-hyun.
-Pardon?

You're at the Intelligence Bureau.
Do you have any intel on them?

I'll look into it, sir.

He doesn't look like it,
but he's one sly bastard!

I should have reported it right away.
What if they ask what took so long?

-Just calm down for a moment.
-How can I calm down right now?

Here.

Thank you.

Why so secretive?

It's the warrant. He asked for it
first thing in the morning.

I had no idea
because of all the cameras and reporters.

By the way, it can't be true, right?

I mean, that's insane.

The Prosecutor General will ask us to
disband the special divisions nation-wide

except for three offices
including the central office.

And he'll suggest that
we reinforce the criminal division,

which is our main duty.

They told you that over the phone?

As for you, organize his motions on paper

and categorize the objectives,
the significance and the trajectories.

Yes, sir.

The Criminal Procedure Code
will not be amended.

We must make sure it won't happen
at all costs.

Understood?

We can hold on to our
direct investigative authority, right?

But the police watch was in the photo.
That's a fact.

That means we can still suspect
that the culprit is a cop.

We will protect that no matter what.

Giving that up is like
giving up the whole thing.

And it looks like there won't be
a third council meeting,

judging from the situation.

All right, then…

Yongsan Police Station
let Jeon Gi-hyeok go

because he wouldn't talk.

They wanted to see who he'll try to
contact once he's released.

He won't do that right away
unless he's an idiot.

Idiot or not, he shouldn't have anyone
to contact. Isn't that right?

If he was motivated by
a personal grudge against a cop.

Like you said,

it's possible he was holding a grudge
because of his past arrest.

However,

all they know is that a cop was named
a suspect in the case.

Nothing else was mentioned on the news.

So how did Jeon Gi-hyeok know
that it was the cop

he had been harboring a grudge against?

Maybe they have a way
of figuring that out.

Who are "they"?

The witness Jeon Gi-hyeok
was indicted for speculative acts in 2017

by Criminal Division Two
in the Seongnam Office.

I don't even want to ask you

if you remember everything
that happened in your previous jobs.

You're right.

I don't think it was caused by a grudge.

Then why did you say it was?

Why do you think I did that?

Sir, why are you quiet all of a sudden?

Shouldn't you be worked up
about the situation most?

We have to find who it was
that did this to screw us over.

If one of us voluntarily dirtied
their hands

upon realizing that we've reached
the end of the rope

and that we've exhausted
all our resources,

I'll applaud them.

Shouldn't we thank our hero
for his sacrifice?

How could you call him a "hero"?

Our independence fighters were
terrorists in the eyes of the Japanese.

Give us some privacy, Si-mok.

What is it? Why kick him out?

Tae-ha.

I'm going to the bank.

What about Seo Dong-jae?

He'd be dead now
if things went according to your plan.

-Someone's plan.
-Right. Had one of the Segok officers

been pegged as the culprit as planned,

the investigation would have been
focused on him.

He didn't do it,
so he can't even confess to it.

Then Dong-jae would be dead now.

He came back alive,

albeit broken and covered in blood,
but he could have died.

And what about the Segok officer?

The corrupt cop?

If he was charged
with murdering a prosecutor,

and didn't confess or showed any remorse,

any one of us would have given him
the heaviest sentence as revenge.

The person you really need to thank

isn't that "someone" who disgraced
the entire prosecution.

It's Si-mok.

Had he not caught
Jeon Gi-hyeok in a lie, you…

You could have been a murderer.

Two families would have been ruined!

I'm sure that "someone" was also worried

because a prosecutor went missing.

But seeing how
the situation was unfolding…

He must have thought

that this was a rare opportunity
that only comes once in a lifetime.

Do you think he shouldn't have done
anything, knowing that?

Do you think he didn't know
it could cause trouble down the road?

He stepped in despite all of that.

For all of us.

No one died.

He went to the bank.

Jeez.

STRANGER 2

SEARCH AND SEIZURE WARRANT

So you need
the deceased's bank statements?

Correct. I just need records
from April 6, 2018 to a month before that.

Give me a moment.

It's not common for us to be contacted

by the prosecution about accessing
a deceased client's account details.

Please give me a moment.

The client's family
has consented to this, right?

-Yes.
-Okay.

Chief Prosecutor Park Gwang-su.

Prosecutor Seo doggedly searched

-articles about his death.
-What? Oh, him…

A vacation home area?

You can go ahead first.
I'll join you later.

He asked for three files in total,
so I photocopied them at the same time.

When Prosecutor Seo came by
the Supreme Office to see you…

I was just wondering if he gave you a file

on anything else
other than Segok Police Station.

-Which case?
-Lawyer Park Gwang-su.

You're right.

This won't help you find Prosecutor Seo.

I heard they found
the Uijeongbu prosecutor.

What brings you by so early?

Why did you mention Uijeongbu?

Last time, you said

it was about that missing prosecutor.

You were expecting me that day,

weren't you?

No.

I showed up unannounced

and started asking you
about your late husband,

and the first thing you said was,
"Okay, go ahead."

"What's it about?
Why are you asking about him now?"

You didn't ask me that.

Didn't I?

No.

That day, someone came to see you
before I did

and told you I'd be coming
to ask about your husband.

That's probably when you heard
that it was about

the Uijeongbu office.

No.

I should go.

Why did you send me
to the secretary at the law firm?

Do you need all the deposits
and withdrawals?

-Yes, please print it for me.
-Sure.

You knew I'd have more questions

once I met with the secretary.

You didn't trust the person
who came to see you.

I don't trust him either.

What do you want to know?

Here you go.

PROSECUTOR HWANG SI-MOK

Someone who died after drinking
in the outskirts

wired 2 million won each to three women
two days before his death?

SENIOR INSPECTOR HAN YEO-JIN

HE WOULDN'T HAVE DRANK
OUT ON THE STREETS

This is starting to sound
all too familiar.

He wouldn't have drank out on the streets.

So I was going to visit places
he made transactions with.

We should find those people.

But not now.

My boss is in a bad mood right now.

Same here. Both assistant chiefs.

Oh, dear.

I'll look into it later.

THANKS. I'LL LOOK INTO IT TOO.

OKAY

Hello.

Yes, hello.

Three women who received money
from Park Gwang-su a year ago

all worked at this club at the time.

Yang Yu-bin, Shin Seo-yeon
and Jang Su-jeong.

Remember them?

I'm not sure.

The girls don't use their real names here.

Right, I understand.

But I'm sure you gave Mr. Park
their account information

along with their real names.

He asked you to send some girls over,

so you picked those three.

Then you contacted him
to tell him who was coming

and that he should send them
the money directly.

Detective.

We don't do stuff like that.

But you used to, last year.

All right, ma'am.

I'll ask one more time.

On April 6, 2018,

did you send three girls to Namyangju
as per Lawyer Park Gwang-su's request?

Hold on. They went there as party helpers.

High-paid helpers, I see.

Where did you send them in Namyangju?

You work in Gangnam.

Do you often travel
to the outskirts for a job?

I mean, if you don't remember
visiting Namyangju…

We never leave the lounge.

Only two offices could've known
that I was going to visit you that day.

The Uijeongbu office

and the supreme office.

The Criminal Legislation Division, right?

Chief Woo Tae-ha.

Have you seen this man again
since you saw him a year ago?

How could I remember him
when I only saw him once a year ago?

So you did meet him once.

Ms. Yang Yu-bin.

His bank statement shows
that he sent you money.

You don't need to cover for them.

I'm not covering for them.

I'm sure the duration is preselected,
whether it's a few hours or a day.

And the amount varies depending on it.

If they got two million won…
How many hours is that for?

Why would I send them elsewhere?
I'd make them drink here.

You said you sent the girls.

Yes, Prosecutor Hwang.

She admitted to it?

I see.

Okay, so she went to Namyangju
because their manager told them to.

Got it.

My order? Who said that?

She said they called a cab and went
to the address you gave them together.

From time to time, we receive
such requests from our regulars.

"Send some girls over."

They need someone to sing
and stuff at parties, you know.

Our girls are very good. Some of them
even competed in the Campus Song Festival.

What? That's ancient.

What do you mean?

It was around until 2012.
Even I participated in it.

You haven't deleted the message
that you received then, right?

He's dead. Why would I still have it?

As soon as the girls told me
what happened, I…

They told you?

What did you hear?

It was like a vacation villa.

This man was waiting for us,

and he arrived soon after.

And there was another person
who arrived last.

There was someone else? Who?

How would I know that?

And they were addressed as…

Honey or sir, usually.

No, how did they address each other?

That I really don't remember.

I only saw them briefly a year ago.

How would I remember
what they said or did?

Why only briefly?

I'm sure you spent
a good few hours with them.

How long did you stay there?

What time did you arrive and leave?
Approximately.

We left quickly.

Did they ask you to leave?

Did they refuse to spend time with you?

His hands got so busy
the moment we sat down.

Ms. Yang.

When you were leaving,

how was this man doing?

Fine. Since it's not what we were told
to keep to ourselves…

Sir!

Mr. Park!

Sir!

The girls looked really shook up
since they saw a person die so suddenly.

He asked for some antacids
and all of a sudden…

It didn't even take a minute.

But the next day,
all the articles said he died on the road.

We thought we had seen it all
at the vacation home,

but what happened after…

It was beyond our imagination.

Jang Su-jeong said something similar.

She said Chief Woo addressed
the man who died as "sir,"

and she doesn't remember
the person who got there last

because it happened
right after that person arrived.

RECENT DESTINATIONS

DELETE

DELETED

He abandoned the body,

and even used the dead man's fingers
to call 911.

What Jang Su-jeong remembered
the most clearly

was how Chief Woo told them
to clean up the table

without leaving a single trace.

So it seems he wasn't planning
on moving the body at first.

If he moved the body
and told them to keep quiet,

the vacation home
wouldn't even have been investigated.

Chief Woo was thinking of calling
an ambulance at first,

so he told them to clean everything up.

And then he told the women
to leave the scene too.

They said the person who arrived
after Chief Woo

took them in his car and dropped them off
somewhere far away.

Then would Jang Su-jeong

-remember the plate number?
-That would probably be impossible.

And could I ask you another favor?

I need someone else's help.

Who?

I need someone who's never met
Chief Woo before.

Someone who doesn't know his face.

…with people from
the Korean Bar Association.

Yes, 12 people in total.

Yes, just the ones who've answered.

Yes.

Sir, could I look into it
and call you back later?

All right. I'll call you right away.

Where are your manners?

You're getting cockier day by day.

Hey!

Did you know that Hanjo was the one
that arranged the meeting?

Or did Park Gwang-su's heart stop

before you could talk about Hanjo?

You're not asking why I'm talking
about Park Gwang-su

and Hanjo together.

What's there to ask?

What are you on about?

I confirmed that you met Park Gwang-su
and someone else

at a vacation home in Namyangju
on April 6, 2018

when you were the Chief of the
Fair Trade Investigation Department.

I heard your hands were very busy.

-Hey.
-Yes.

What excuse are you going to make up now?

You should be grateful
that I've put up with you until now.

I could get rid of you in an instant.

Everyone accepts drinks sometimes.
Where and what I drink

is none of your business!

You and the other two people

who were at that gathering are suspected

of prostitution…

What is it this time?

If you think the charage
for prostitution is unfair,

-then how about abandoning a corpse?
-It wasn't me.

Did Mr. Park die on the spot?

Or did you wait until he was dead

because your identities would have been
revealed if you called an ambulance?

I can see why Lee Chang-jun died.

Did you do the same thing to him?

Did you throw accusations at him
and drive him to the point of suicide?

Did you tell him to die
because he was doomed anyway?

What a scary person you are.

No one should get on your bad side.

Comparing yourself to him
won't make you innocent.

I didn't kill anyone.

He just happened to die in front of me.

Things like that should just be
thought of as an unlucky incident

and be forgotten.

If you hadn't gone there,
you wouldn't have been unlucky.

You knew it wasn't just
a normal gathering, right?

Why did you go all the way there?

Anyone in that situation

would have done what I did! Okay?

Anyone!

No. Your duty is to serve justice.

You should never hide
behind the word "anyone."

But you keep denying what you did.

Then did Mr. Park's body walk by itself

to that location?

Did his finger press 911 after he passed?

I told you it wasn't me!

I didn't make that call!

Who was the third man

at the vacation home?

Where are you going?

I should get them out of here.

It'll take over an hour for a cab
to arrive.

Then it'll look like we hung out
with them for several hours.

We'll be screwed for sure.

I'll take them in my car

and drop them off somewhere far away
and come straight back.

Just stay here for a while.

Come with me.

Who's the man who arrived later?

That cheap jerk.

The Intelligence Bureau Director,
Kim Myeong-han.

From the police?

I'll charge those involved
and make the investigation official.

Hey!

A vacation home area?

Hanjo? Why did you go there?

Yes, Mr. Hwang.

The Intelligence Bureau Director?

At the Southern Seoul
Detention Center. Why?

PERSONAL DETAILS

NAME: YANG YU-BIN

Yes?

I'm sorry, sir!

A prosecutor in the Criminal Legislation
Division found out about Park Gwang-su.

I can take care of things on my own,

but I thought I should still let you know.
That's why I came to visit you.

I'm sorry, sir.

Do you remember the incident
about that lawyer last year?

DEPUTY PROSECUTOR GENERAL
SHIN DONG-UN

You fool. Why did you have to
mess with a dead body?

-Back then...
-Why do you look so serious?

You really startled me.

-Is that it?
-Yes. That's all, sir.

A prosecutor in your division…

Is it him?
The one from the Western Office?

Yes. It's Hwang Si-mok.

Kids like that are acting out
because of your poor judgement.

What's the problem?
Move him somewhere else

-or just fire him.
-Yes, sir.

And make sure everyone keeps quiet.

Chief Woo. Do I really have to take care
of every little thing in my position?

I'm sorry, sir. I'll take care
of everything and report back to you.

VISITATION APPLICATION

CELL PHONE STORAGE LOCKER

I'm telling you, I really didn't know!

I found out on the news the next day.

Moving his body and all that

had nothing to do with me.

I just confirmed everything with the woman
who was sitting next to you that day.

She told me that the third man
to arrive at the vacation home

was you.

Ms. Han. Didn't you hear what I said?

I told you, I admit that I went there.

An old colleague of mine
begged me to come, so I went there.

I regret going there.

But still… Right.

You met those girls.

You must have heard that
I took them and left the scene first.

Thinking about going back
to where Gwang-su's body was

made me not want to go back.

I wasn't planning
on running away at first.

But the thought of going back there was…

So you just went back to Seoul?

Then that means Chief Woo
was left there all alone.

If he later realized you'd betrayed him

and moved the body so he wouldn't
take all the blame,

he would've had to drive two cars
by himself at the same time.

Mr. Park's car and his own.

The car was found at least
a 15-minute drive away.

If Chief Woo did it alone,
he would've left Mr. Park's car there

and walked back to the vacation home.

A 15-minute drive
is about 2 hours on foot.

And he couldn't call for a cab there.

Would he have walked back alone
for two hours?

No. There were two drivers.

I don't know what happened after I left!

So you let a prosecutor
take care of everything?

Who knows what he would have done?

You must have known
that he could have pinned this on you.

-I...
-You went back, didn't you?

You went back after dropping off the girls

and moved the body, right?

Chief Woo is claiming that you're the one
who called 911.

I told you,
I only found out about it later.

Are you saying Chief Woo actually told you
what he did after you left?

It seems like there was someone else.
Who was it?

I…

I told one of my people
to go and take care of things.

I didn't give them any specific orders.

I really didn't do anything to anyone
that day at the vacation home,

and I didn't receive any bribes
or anything.

And the last time I saw Gwang-su,

he was lying where he died.

So I didn't do anything wrong that day.

So who did you send
to take care of things?

They just went there
because I asked for help.

I didn't give them any details.

I just asked them to go there
because someone died.

Was it our Chief?

Was it Chief Choi Bit?

Just think about it.
For me, it was the obvious choice.

The body would be reported no matter what,

and it'd go straight to Chief Choi.

She was the Chief there after all.

Is that why

she was promoted from being
the chief of a rural station

to working for the Intelligence Bureau?

She got her position

for cleaning up the Intelligence Bureau
Director's mess?

Well, who wouldn't?

You don't know what it's really like
to be dragged into things.

What you've experienced is nothing at all.

What will you do, Inspector Han?

If they take me,
will you just wait and see?

CELL PHONE STORAGE LOCKER

Come to my office.

HAN YEO-JIN

STRANGER 2

COME TO MY OFFICE.

Why would Chief Woo want to see me?

You too?

Does everyone get off work this early?

Ms. Han Yeo-jin.

Did you cover up the crime
of an assemblyman's son?

It was a narcotics case.

I'll show you what it means
to have the authority to indict.

I'll indict you.

You'll be sentenced

and I'll make you a corrupt cop
and a convict.

Even if I lose my job,

I can destroy you
without even lifting a finger.

Are you happy now?

Ms. Han, you shouldn't glare at me
like that right now.

I'm trying to save Chief Choi.

You went to the detention center.

He ran away and ordered his junior
to take care of the mess he made.

I doubt he would have tried
to protect her.

She's the one who suggested
moving the body.

Chief Choi's the one

who came up with the idea of moving
the body and calling 911 with his phone.

If you don't believe me, ask her yourself.

"That cheap jerk."

You…

Did you want to have
revenge on the director

because he ran off without you?

Did you get him arrested because of that?

He's guilty.

He's going to be a convict,
I might as well make use of that.

Ms. Han. Do you really have to drag
Chief Choi into this?

Do you have to bring her down?

Did you discuss this with Chief Choi too?

Did she agree to this?

Don't disappoint her, Ms. Han.

Don't you want to protect her?

My junior doesn't seem to want
to protect me at all,

but I'm willing to protect you.

And Prosecutor Hwang,
I won't blame you for insubordination.

I'll send you to Gangwon Province.

All right. Prosecutor Hwang
can protect Ms. Han,

Ms. Han can protect her boss,

and I can protect myself.
How beautiful is that?

You two just have to keep quiet about it.

It wasn't some terrible homicide
or a huge corruption case.

It's just a matter of
where a sick man ended up dying.

You don't need to ruin so many
people's lives over such a petty thing.

And even if you do,

this might sound like I'm bragging,

but I'm the chief
of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.

Even if I quit,
companies will line up to hire me.

If that's the case,

why are you telling us this now?

Because I can do it.

I can ruin

the both of you.

Okay. From now on, I won't try
to persuade you kindly anymore.

Here you go.

Were you worried you'd be recorded
if you made a phone call?

We were actually worried
you'd tell us over the phone.

Haven't you learned anything so far?

We're all on the same team.

How dare you spy on your colleague?

It's obvious, but you seem so surprised.

I wonder how things have been until now.

So you don't care what will happen?

Fine.

He really meant it when he said
he'd make you a convict.

I know. And I know he's capable.

And I know he can't decide by himself

when and where to transfer me.

I guess the higher-ups agreed to it.

You're pretty late.

I heard you left the office a while ago.

I was only going to drink
until you arrived,

but you got here late.

I had to meet someone.

Then you must've heard

everything from Chief Woo already.

Are you here to blame me?

Since Chief Woo has leverage

because I told you to keep quiet
about Nam Jae-ik's son then?

I shouldn't have done it.

I should have pushed forward with it.

I don't blame you.

Back then,
I really thought you were right.

I thought I should be flexible

and I shouldn't be so stubborn
about the rules.

But I won't do that ever again.

So you're going to

follow the rules for this
even when I'm involved?

Moving the body

and calling 911…

Was it really your idea?

Yes, it was.

Didn't it occur to you before?

This time,

it's your turn. Just like it was
between me and the director before.

Maybe I can hold your hand
and pull you up...

Why? Why are you doing this?

Why are you underestimating yourself?

Even if you didn't hold his hand,
you would've earned a great position.

You would've achieved
everything you wanted.

You got there a few years earlier,

but it's made you think
that you didn't earn it yourself.

Darn it.

Even if the incident goes public,

things could just fizzle out.

But if you end up suffering
because of that incident,

it'll be something I've never expected.

I never imagined I'd be ruining
the career of the first person

I sincerely respected
after I became a cop.

You don't know me well.

You'll never end me with your own hands.

I should end it here.

I'm starting to get scared

that you might make a scene at the end

like someone I saw.

He's not picking up!

He ran away. Of course he won't pick up!

I should've reported it right away.
What if they ask what took so long?

What did he say?
You're in on this, aren't you?

I told you, I thought he was here too!
I thought he was calling from here.

We can't let him get away with this!

That's not the problem right now.

Should we leave him here?
Someone will find him.

Oh, his call history.
The last call would probably be me.

Just calm down for a moment.

How can I calm down right now?

The plate. 7524. Is that your car?

-Why?
-The dashcam was off.

I saw it on the way here.

The dashcam was turned off.

Is that yours?

No.

So?

Calling 911 at the end
made it seem more real.

I didn't do it to make it seem more real.

Then why?

So he'd be found soon.

So he won't

stay like that on the road for long.

I'm now standing in front
of the vacation home

where a lawyer died from a heart attack
one year ago, in April, 2018.

It has been revealed that members
of the police and prosecution

moved his body to hide traces

of the secret gathering
that took place here.

In addition, it was revealed
that they stopped an investigation

even after finding out that the son
of an assemblyman had been using drugs.

These scandals are causing a huge stir.

You should have reported it
before revealing that.

What were you thinking?

I'm sorry. But I did report it.

You only reported to Chief Choi.

You should have waited for my approval!

I'll say it was a false announcement

and say the prosecution is dragging her
into their mess,

so you tell them that too.

No, just don't say anything.
Don't talk to anyone about it.

This is exactly why I had to do it

without your approval.

Do as I say, Inspector Han.

I'm sorry, sir.

Yes, sir.

I, Woo Tae-ha,

did not even know the existence
of the vacation home in Namyangju.

So I want to make it clear

that the prosecutor mentioned
in the press is not me.

The prosecution found out
before the press did

that the police had closed
the investigation

on the assemblyman's son
even when they knew he was guilty.

The prosecution was already investigating
the possibility

that the police were using that
to gain the assemblyman's favor.

We weren't covering it up.

How could you bring Chief Woo's
arrest warrant to me?

Should I bring it to Chief Woo then?

Didn't you just hear what he said?
What do you expect me to do?

To just do your job. You already have
the authority to approve it.

Let's not go this far, all right?

He committed a serious crime,

and there's enough evidence
for him to get arrested.

He already tried
to get rid of the evidence.

This isn't something
I can decide by myself.

I'll find someone
who can make that decision.

He's unbelievable.

I'll get going, then.

PRESS ROOM

-She's here!
-She's here!

STRANGER 2

As a public official whose duty
is to uphold the law…

We must bring Chief Woo down…

Do you want a chance
to screw over your boss?

Who will your colleagues side with
in the end?

How can you call them a partner
after what you just heard?

What kind of an organization
is affected by a single person?

Because you can choose
how this is going to end, Chief Choi.

You're the only one left.

No, it's not over.
Not while I'm still alive.
