Original subtitles

(All characters, organizations, and events in this drama are fictitious.)

Hold on. You can't barge in here.

It's all right. You may leave.

I don't remember agreeing to meet.

Don't you think this is impolite?

I'm heading out in five minutes.

I have a meeting with the other district head prosecutors.

Whatever it is, make it quick.

This is Prosecutor Jin.

Please inform the Prosecutor's Office...

that Mr. Kim won't be at the meeting.

Kim Tae Ho,

you are under arrest for the concealment of murder,

the ordering of falsified evidence, blackmail, kidnapping,

and solicitation to commit murder.

What?

Cuff him.

What did I tell you?

I said you were done for.

Why did you do it?

I only ask because I'm curious.

For what reason and what gain...

did you place your loyalty elsewhere...

and abandon your sense of duty as a prosecutor?

My sense of duty?

Did we ever have anything like that?

We are nothing but hounds...

who serve a new master every five years.

I craved power in order to break free.

A prosecution service with great power...

that doesn't answer to anyone.

To make that happen, I had to climb up the ranks...

which is why I needed his power.

To challenge those with power,

you sought help from another man in power.

To me, it sounds like you're serving a new master.

It was a necessary evil.

I did what was necessary to protect the organization.

I don't see a fault in my ways.

No, what you did was wrong.

You did it to protect our organization?

Who do you think you are?

Don't fool yourself, Mr. Kim.

Power or status doesn't protect us.

The law and people do.

I'll prove to you...

how wrong your petty principle is.

I'll show you how easily the so-called power you believe in...

can crumble down.

You think you're right, don't you?

I understand that every prosecutor...

is considered a separate authoritative entity.

But ranks still exist within these entities.

Even if obeying orders is considered...

a deep-rooted problem of our organization,

it is clear that it's the driving force of our organization.

You will think you're being righteous.

But you're wrong.

You're nothing more than a defective product...

in our organization.

Like a bruised apple in a box, full of good apples.

Or a loach, muddying the water for all the fish in the pond.

That's where you stand in our organization.

Look at everything you did so far.

Your action alone is bringing down our entire organization.

What if you cause our organization to lose its power, status,

and everything?

Who will stay in our organization for the next term?

True prosecutors will stay.

(Bad Prosecutor)

(Bad Prosecutor)

(Episode 8)

Prosecutor Oh Do Hwan.

We're from the Inspection Department of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.

Let's go quietly.

This way.

Let's go.

Did District Head Kim order you to fabricate...

Deputy Chief Lee Jang Won's case...

in a specific way?

No.

Did you threaten the medical examiner...

who performed the autopsy on Deputy Chief Lee?

Or did you coerce him to make a false statement?

No.

Look, Prosecutor Oh.

Are you kidding me?

Even people...

at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office know...

that you're District Head Kim's right-hand man.

Do you expect me to believe you had no idea about this?

I didn't know.

Gosh. You're one shameless jerk.

Don't you know where you are?

You're at the Inspection Department of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office!

You won't be leaving this place as a prosecutor.

(Prosecutors' Office: Prosecutor Oh Do Hwan)

The Inspection Department searched your office and seized your files.

We'll get to the bottom of this once we start looking.

And it's a fact that your career is over.

(Law Firm Kangsan)

(Law Firm Kangsan)

(Managing Partner Seo Hyun Kyu)

(Personal Information)

I confirmed the alibi for 4 out of the 5 buyers...

in the drug ledger.

And the last one on the list...

Tae Hyung Wook.

The Chief Secretary at Law Firm Kangsan.

We won't be able to get a warrant with just this ledger.

We obtained the evidence illegally.

And there's nothing connecting the suspect to the crime.

Sometimes, taking it head-on might work out.

Let's hear her out at least.

What do you mean?

Can't you give me a heads-up next time?

Let's go inside.

How can I help you?

We're here to meet Chief Secretary Tae Hyung Wook.

I see. What's your name?

- It's Jin Jung. - Mr. Jin Jung.

Did you make an appointment before coming here?

No. I just barged in here.

I'm sorry.

You cannot meet with Ms. Tae without an appointment.

Is that so?

Then I'll make an appointment now.

I want to see her at the earliest possible.

- Do you think you're at a karaoke? - What?

What is this about?

We meet again, ma'am.

And this is...

Who is he?

My name is Seo Ji Han. You can talk to me.

Should we?

Hold on.

You think Ms. Tae committed murder?

Murder the deputy chief prosecutor?

Gosh. I'm sorry.

We will need time to look into this and sort this out.

If you don't mind, I would like to end our meeting now.

Mr. Seo.

I won't repeat myself.

Don't give me excuses and bring her here.

Prosecutor Jin,

that was pretty rude.

I'm not here to be polite.

What if I won't let you see her?

If you don't let me see her,

I'll have a reasonable doubt.

That your law firm...

has a deep connection to Deputy Chief Lee's case.

Okay.

I'll let you see her.

Thank you.

(Call)

Tell Ms. Tae to come up.

Did you want to see me?

Your name was on the buyers' list from a drug dealer's ledger.

It was the same drug as the drug found in...

Deputy Chief Lee Jang Won's body.

Could you explain this?

I don't know.

You don't know?

That's all?

My personal information could have leaked.

That's all I can say.

Did you know Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lee Jang Won?

I saw him on the news.

- And in a personal capacity? - No.

What were you doing...

between 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. on the day of his death?

I thought this was a simple interview.

I didn't know this was an interrogation.

You're deflecting my question.

It sounded like you had already made up your mind...

that I was the culprit when you asked me that.

I had to ask you this to exclude you from the suspect list.

I was exercising after work.

If you need it,

I'll send you the footage to confirm my alibi.

If you're done asking me questions,

may I leave?

Yes.

Ms. Tae.

What are you doing?

Hey, Prosecutor Jin.

Sorry. I was mistaken.

I made a huge mistake.

I would like to sincerely apologize.

Are you out of your mind?

What if she sues you?

Why would you do something that insane?

- It's her. - What?

An ordinary person would've...

at least blinked their eyes.

But she didn't.

She didn't blink at all.

She's a professional.

Even if you're right, it's only anecdotal.

Let's leave the door open for now.

Aren't you Prosecutor Jin Jung...

from the Central District Prosecutors' Office?

May I ask who you are?

It's an honor to meet you.

I'm Seo Hyun Kyu, the CEO of this place.

How do you know me?

Of course, I know you.

You're the one who sent District Head Kim Tae Ho to prison.

Actually, stabbing your own people in the back...

isn't something anyone can do.

As they say, you're amazing.

Thank you for the compliment.

Call me whenever you want.

I'll reserve a place with a nice view.

I'll only appreciate the offer. Goodbye.

Chief Secretary Tae Hyung Wook of Law Firm Kangsan.

Chief Secretary Tae Hyung Wook?

Yes. Find anything that's related to her.

Gather everything about her that you can find.

From the day of Mr. Lee's murder until today,

find out her whereabouts and confirm her alibis.

Yes, sir.

Chief Secretary Tae Hyung Wook of Law Firm Kangsan.

I'm sure there will be a loose end.

It could be her statement or her alibi.

If she really is the suspect of Mr. Lee's death.

Whatever it is, we just need to find one.

One piece of evidence to drag them down.

She pushed him from the 11th floor to kill him.

And he was alive at the moment.

I'll catch her no matter what.

Why would you catch her?

Let's catch her together.

What's wrong? Who is it?

(Mom)

- Yes, Mom. - Jung.

It's so hard to hear your voice. I thought you were dead.

That's not the case.

Actually, I was going to call you.

Come right away if you don't want to die.

Well, Mom. I'm busy at the moment.

(Mom)

Gosh.

Do you want to eat dinner?

(Jung's Barbecue)

If I had known there would be a guest,

I would've gone to the market to buy some groceries.

I'm sorry. There's not much to offer.

No, this is more than enough.

- Thank you for the food. - My goodness.

I knew you were pretty,

but I didn't know you were well-mannered too.

What's your name?

I'm Shin A Ra.

Shin A Ra?

Ma'am, did you eat?

If you haven't, please join us.

You're such a kind person.

But still, an elder shouldn't join in...

when a young man and woman are eating together.

Yes, you're right. Go away, Mom.

Just grill the meat.

No. I like eating with elders.

Please sit.

Then I'll bear the shame and join you.

May I ask how old you are?

I'm 34 years old.

My goodness.

I thought you were 20 years old because of your fair skin.

- Did you say 20 years old? - Yes.

Twenty years old?

I think your skin is much better than mine.

I was shocked earlier...

when Prosecutor Jin called you "Mom."

I do look younger than my age.

It's all cooked. You can eat now.

This is the best part we serve at this restaurant.

- It's so tasty. - Right?

Please help yourself.

Are you married?

Married? I've been working so hard that I couldn't even date anyone.

What do you think about someone who's younger than you?

A younger man... I'm okay if it's less than five years.

I see. Seeing someone who's younger than you is trending.

I love it.

What was Prosecutor Jin Jung like when he was young?

What do you think?

I don't think he was just an ordinary boy.

He was amazing.

He once held onto the railing on the fourth floor to save a cat,

but he failed and fell.

He got hit by a car while trying to save a ball a kid lost.

I thought about taking him to the hospital.

He only thinks about others and doesn't care about himself.

That sounds just like him.

He got into fights all the time too.

He said fists were the answer...

to turn the bad guys into humans.

He didn't care if it was a teacher or a student.

He couldn't stand anyone bullying the weak.

He made sure to pay them back ten times what he got.

If it wasn't enough, he paid them a hundred times what he got.

He's so like his father.

What about Jung's father?

Well, it was an accident.

It happened when Jung was 12 years old.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

It was a long time ago. You don't have to worry about it.

Well... I had a great meal today.

No, you can't do this.

This is making me feel upset. It's between us.

Where do you live?

My son. Jung.

What? I'm cleaning the griddles...

that I didn't get to eat anything off.

Get a cab for Prosecutor Shin. Hurry.

There's an app. You can call a cab to come here.

- Hurry. - All right.

Let's go.

(Jung's Barbecue)

What was your father like?

He was a nice person.

I really wanted to take after him.

Someone who was so cool and powerful.

It was a car accident.

It happened in front of my eyes.

It comes to my mind from time to time.

If only I had...

held onto him for five seconds,

my mom wouldn't have had to cry.

I promised myself at his funeral...

that I wouldn't cry anymore...

and wouldn't make...

my family and people...

shed tears no matter what.

You should work hard then.

To do what your father couldn't do.

I had a great meal today.

Go home safely.

Jung.

Your father would love what you have become.

Thank you. Bye.

I'll go now.

(Motive for the murder, the reason why they killed Mr. Lee)

Then the killer...

wanted information from Mr. Lee.

(They are looking for something. What is it?)

Before the incident, my father went to meet someone.

He said there was something to give that person.

It was a yellow envelope.

You were right all along.

Monsters should be slayed,

not put on leashes.

Anyway,

the sword has been passed on to you.

Make good use of it.

I'll make very good use of it.

What are you punks even doing here?

Well,

Prosecutor Jin said this would be our new office.

Where is Prosecutor Jin?

Hey.

What is this, a neighborhood gathering?

Who are you to make room here...

for those irrelevant to the prosecution service?

Toss them out.

There's no need to squash their confidence.

Not when they're a huge help.

We can come up with an excuse for the bosses.

Say they're external advisors.

Let's agree to this amicably.

Agree to what?

What do they even do?

Unbelievable. Chul Ki, you're up.

Introduce them to him.

Why am I also here?

So that I could inform you too.

This isn't the movies, you know.

Get on with it.

All right, I'll begin.

Name, Baek Eun Ji. Age, 28.

She's the only daughter of Polar Bear,

the leader of the nationwide White Bear Gang.

Really?

I see we're off to a dynamic start.

She was number two in the ranks and the gang's lieutenant,

but then she suddenly retired.

She is no longer a player in the field,

but her nickname remains a legend in the back streets of Korea.

The Raptor shears, her main weapon, got her the nickname.

The Velociraptor of Bongcheon-dong.

Like the dinosaur from the movies?

Why is she a dinosaur when her dad's a bear?

Do you know what's funnier?

(Number 3 of the White Bear Gang)

Third in the rankings is Tyrannosaurus of Ssangmun-dong.

Are you okay? Then get her!

- Hurry! - Darn it!

Goodness me.

He got the nickname because he has a large head but short limbs.

Fourth in the rankings is Triceratops of...

Save it and move on.

(Self-proclaimed genius hacker)

Name, Ko Joong Do.

Age...

(Self-proclaimed genius hacker)

He's 28.

Wait. You're 28?

Saying that to my face hurts my feelings.

Why? How is he 28?

I'm still looking into it.

I'll figure out the cause as soon as possible.

Why do you need to figure out the cause...

when there's nothing wrong with me?

Jung, tell them.

It's not my fault you don't look like you're 28.

Please don't say he's older than you.

How else can I put it?

Is it against the law to state the facts?

Don't you like younger men?

I don't. I'm put off by them.

The years haven't been kind to him,

but he's smarter than you think.

The five-time consecutive winner...

of the CODEGATE hacking competition...

who also recently hacked into the NIS...

The National Intelligence Service?

Why you...

That was his cousin.

I did it!

I won.

Darn it.

My aunt's son won the competition.

Seriously?

You should've continued without pausing.

It had me alarmed!

Well, I was only trying to be more dramatic...

I apologize, sir.

How well did Ko Joong Do do?

Out of 82 contestants,

he finished in 41st place.

Mediocre.

Is he a good hacker or a bad one?

I'm somewhere in the middle.

Jung,

why is he even on your team?

To serve as the human shield?

Come on.

A human shield?

And that concludes my presentation.

(Thank you for listening.)

- Satisfied? - So?

Who are these kids to you?

My friends.

(Jin Jung and Friends)

(Law Firm Kangsan)

I must say I'm surprised.

I never expected you to contact me this soon.

Your bosses must not be happy with you.

I'm here to see Mr. Seo Hyun Kyu.

Having his business card...

doesn't get you that far.

You can talk to me instead.

I determine who walks through my father's doors.

I'd like to address Mr. Seo in person.

That must be the last ounce of your pride.

This is a job interview, Prosecutor Oh.

What if that attitude of yours...

has me writing you off?

You already looked into my father to see what kind of a man he is.

Isn't that why you're here? To lean on the power he possesses?

Bow and apologize.

It's an item on my bucket list.

To have a prosecutor grovel at my feet.

What are you doing? Get on the floor.

Know that I'm in charge of what happens to you.

(Prosecutors' Office: Prosecutor Oh Do Hwan)

(Assisting Officer Cho Woo Sung, Investigator Kang Shin Jo)

It's from my dash cam.

Check what's on it.

Oh, dear, Prosecutor Oh.

You're headed in the wrong direction.

Deputy Chief Lee...

didn't kill her.

Someone else did.

(Seoul Dongha Detention Center)

(Warden's Office)

It's you again.

I needed to tell you something.

I met with Deputy Chief Lee.

The day before he died.

You know the thing Seo Hyun Kyu is looking for?

He gave that to me.

Why are you telling me that?

It's not like I can just call him up.

You should relay the message.

Do you even know what you're saying?

So...

you want to have another go at him with that?

After what happened to you years ago?

Well,

I have nothing to lose now.

Jae Kyung.

You might die.

I already died once...

when I had to...

say goodbye to my wife and son.

That's all. I'll get going now.

Good luck with the trial.

And Tae Ho.

I'm sure you know it better than anyone.

Don't trust Seo Hyun Kyu too much.

(Kim Tae Ho)

District Head Kim Tae Ho is calling from the detention center.

He's in a meeting.

All right. This woman.

Name, Tae Hyung Wook. Age, 32.

She's the chief secretary of Managing Partner Seo Hyun Kyu...

of Law Firm Kangsan.

She waits on him hand and foot for now.

She's with him wherever he goes.

Do they even go to the toilet together?

I was just joking.

Before joining the law firm, she served at the headquarters...

for the army special forces for seven years

Her main duty was...

counterterrorism, retribution, and retaliation.

She conducted operations to distract rearguards...

and launched short-term attacks for seven years.

Gosh. What is this?

Is she a heroine of a movie?

Did you find out what I asked?

I didn't find anything special regarding her recent activities.

Her alibi was confirmed too.

Prosecutor Jin.

This is the security footage from her gym.

Gosh. I'm not done with my presentation.

This is the security footage exactly at 11 p.m.

When the deputy chief was murdered,

she was at the gym.

Was Prosecutor Jin wrong?

Be quiet.

I knew it wouldn't be easy.

We should keep an eye on her.

- But we should consider other... - Hold on, Jin Jung.

Look at the clock here.

It's 11 p.m. What about that?

If she indeed worked out at 11 p.m.,

this reflected clock shouldn't point to 11 p.m.

The reflection. We're looking at its reflection.

Then the time she worked out at the gym was...

It's 1 a.m.

It's two hours after the deputy chief was murdered.

It's enough time to flee from the scene.

Then what about the timestamp? It says it's 11 p.m. there.

It was fabricated!

Prosecutor Jin.

Then the person who tried to kill you and the medical examiner...

The sterile gloves.

It's probably the same person.

But aren't we jumping to conclusions if we assume it's the same person...

only based on looking at this person's back?

This person left the syringe...

that was used to kill the deputy chief at my house.

And the attacker who stabbed me at the abandoned factory...

had the same gloves on.

But we don't have any evidence.

We can start looking for it now.

Let's start with this.

(132 GO 6503)

(132 GO 6503)

Gosh.

That's so frustrating.

I ran the plate number, and it was under a fake name.

But we might be able to check its route.

Can I like you?

Hey. That's...

Well,

I'll think about it.

All right. Let's go.

You've been coming here often.

- Hello. - Hey.

Go ahead.

All right.

- Grab that. - Okay.

- This is nice. - All right.

Sir.

Let's talk.

Hey.

It's rude to talk to someone in the middle of their workout.

Right. It's rude. Let's just go.

Okay. I'll talk to him. Fine.

Sir.

Stop working out. I need to talk to you.

Gosh.

You know her, right?

Yes. What about her?

And you manage the security cameras here, right?

But why do you guys want to know about that?

What? What's wrong with her?

What?

Don't mumble and talk.

Come on.

Seriously.

Hey.

Is that absolutely necessary?

Come on. You're a man. Don't be a coward.

No one will know if we cover it up with soil. Don't worry.

If you cover it up...

So I mean...

I'm good. Just do whatever you guys want.

Well, Eun Ji.

Are you really going to sever ties with the big boss?

But still. Come on.

Blood is thicker than water. He's your own father.

I'm not going back.

You should just bury your feelings for Prosecutor Jin.

We should go back.

Besides, you've been in the gang as long as you've been alive.

And helping a prosecutor...

is beautiful.

What?

You guys make a cute couple.

Did you get any information yet?

He's so stubborn. He won't talk.

Gosh. That jerk. Then you must make him talk.

Watch me. Okay?

You're not doing anything here other than shoveling.

Okay. I'll talk.

Come on.

Darn it.

I'll talk. Ask me anything.

I'll tell you everything. What do you want to know?

I'll talk.

Hold on.

Can you zoom in on this part?

(132 GO 6503)

(132 GO 6503)

Mr. Jin.

I think I found it.

That's where it was caught on camera for the last time.

A car can't just disappear.

Where do you think it went?

Maybe she wanted to hide it around here somewhere.

Or get rid of it.

What's this place?

There it is.

(132 GO 6503)

Gosh, I can't see anything inside.

- Move. - Pardon?

- Move. - Gosh, what are you doing?

I saw people doing this.

(Baek Eun Ji)

- Yes? - Jung.

He confessed.

She wasn't there at 11 p.m.

Okay. Good job.

Get the original footage, and I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay.

What?

This is blood from the shoe of the suspect.

This is my blood.

Please analyze these two and see if they're the same.

(Professor Jang Jae Hee)

Prosecutor Jin.

Yes?

We do anatomy here.

I know you have friends who can do this.

Please help me out.

Come on. This will be the last time.

Tell me honestly.

You got this illegally,

so you can't take this to the NFS, right?

No, of course not.

Me? No way.

Jung.

How can you say that?

What?

Anyway, I'll take that as a yes.

I'll be waiting.

- Jung. - Professor Jang.

I cherish you, and I love you.

Hey, Jung!

(CEO Seo Hyun Kyu)

This just got delivered.

(Sender: Oh Do Hwan, Recipient: Seo Hyun Kyu)

"Oh Do Hwan?"

Thank you.

Kids these days...

are not afraid of anything.

Are you saying it was my blood on the shoes?

Yes. Blood-type B positive.

It's a 99.9 percent match.

Thank you, Professor Jang.

It's clear now.

Yes. Okay.

Chul Ki, where's my wooden sword?

Oh, that...

Yesterday, Mr. Park took it to dust his blanket.

- His blanket? - Yes.

- With my wooden sword? - Yes.

Why would he use my wooden sword to dust his blanket?

Where is it?

Why would you let him take it to dust his blanket?

I'm sorry, sir.

It was a yellow envelope.

What's this next to the cat?

This? It's an MP3 player.

MP3 player?

Do you have this with you?

He took it.

He said he was looking for that.

I think you need to explain this.

Tell me about it.

Why do you have that with you?

Forget about it. It's nothing.

- Pardon? - Do you want me to say it again?

Forget about it since it's nothing.

What nonsense is that?

That's what Mr. Lee's killer was looking for, right?

What is it?

Why are they killing people to get that?

Answer me. I'm about to get angry now.

Prosecutor Jin.

Last time, you asked me where my family was, right?

They're dead.

It was disguised as an accident.

I couldn't do anything about it.

Does that mean it's related to the recent incidents?

All this time,

you knew what was going on but didn't bother to share.

This isn't a game for you to play, Jung.

I must do this alone.

Don't say my name like we're friends.

You almost died, you punk!

Just listen for once in your life.

Do you really believe you are the first of your kind?

He is not someone you can foolishly take on.

He could easily come after you again.

Your mother and your friends.

He could have them wiped off the planet.

Jung,

this is for your own good.

Save it.

Maybe it would've been different had I not known.

But turning a blind eye isn't how I roll.

(365 days, 24 hours, The Civil Affairs Division Office)

Are you good, Snowball?

Tae Hyung Wook speaking.

There's a specific kind of criminal I can't forgive.

Murderers like you.

May I ask who's speaking?

The one who has what you're looking for.

What will it be? I haven't told anyone about it yet.

I won't wait long.

You should join me.

Where's the device?

Where is it?

You're too late.

It's no longer in my possession.

(Prosecutor Jin Jung)

(Prosecutor Jin Jung)

What took you so long?

Here. This is it, isn't it?

Did it have to be a knife?

Come on, then. Bring it.

Darn it.

That hurt...

Hey, where are you going?

What was that?

What...

What on earth?

Ripped and resynced by YoungJedi

(Bad Prosecutor)

Law Firm Kangsan. Prosecutor Oh, you have a reliable safety net.

Perhaps, everything could have started from the Seocho-dong case.

This is a stowaway agency.

I don't care if it's the US or Africa. I'll chase them anywhere.

I'm here to ask questions about Ms. Park Ye Young.

She asked me to introduce her to Deputy Chief Lee.

- Get me out of here now. - Get your hands off me.

Or your family will die.

Why did he pay a lot more than the market value...

for a crumbling semi-basement unit?

Did you really kill Park Ye Young?

I'll give you 3 seconds. In 3, 2, 1.

- Hey. Burn it. - I'll talk.
