This is so good.

The Prime Minister is coming.

What is this mess?

My apologies, sir. You said to keep it confidential, so…

I'm sorry.

Please move.

Sorry.

Go and take care of it.

Yes, sir.

Prime Minister,

your shot was amazing as always.

You shine in politics and in golf.

You're so good at everything.

My family has talents for everything for generations.

Your grandson will become a special scholarship student at Hankuk University.

This means we'll all be from the same school.

I can see that things will work out well thanks to good alumni like you.

You've put a lot of effort into our second campus.

I really appreciate it.

Literally, it's conditionally permitted,

although it's almost complete.

The rest is up to Mayor Jo's luck.

-It's your turn. -Okay.

I should hit a good shot.

-Your form is good. -Yes.

Keep it like that.

It's a hole-in-one.

Congratulations, Mayor Jo.

I hear this will make you lucky for three years.

It looks like you have to treat us today.

Of course, I should.

Everything will be my treat today as well as next time we golf together.

By the way, your shot was just as good.

Get a full shot.

Ms. Ma.

You did great.

Well, I just did my job.

You know, being a victim's attorney suits you.

I look forward to your help in the future.

There will be no "in the future."

You seem to be confused.

You know, I don't like assisting others.

Plus, the prosecutor gets all the glory.

All I get is a few hundred bucks.

Then what will you do now?

Hold on.

-Hello, Ms. Min. -Where are you?

I'll come in right away.

What else? I should be a prosecutor.

Just you wait.

I'll return as an experienced prosecutor, as your superior at that,

and rearrange that naive brain of yours.

Okay. I'll be waiting.

Recording.

Check if you want.

Seriously.

Give it to me.

What--

What's wrong with this?

Hey. Do your job properly.

I told you to check the scanner regularly.

-I'm sorry. -Jin Yeon-hee.

You…

miss an earring.

I see.

There's a jewelry box in the room. Wear other ones.

Okay.

Sir.

His grades don't really matter.

What matters is what kind of family he's from.

If the prime minister's grandson enrolls at it,

it'll be such an honor for Hankuk University.

Right, sir?

Of course.

Like the daughter of Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs

and Hyungjae Group's Ahn Tae-kyoo,

the children of great families

are making the school shine.

Thanks to that, we were able to revamp the school gym and the auditorium.

As you know, South Korea is such a small country.

We should help each other grow more steadily.

On that note,

I'm thinking of extending

the school to Yongpa.

Are you talking about the second campus?

Yes.

If it's approved to be built in Juyoung-dong,

Yongpa City would give

full support.

Juyoung-dong in Yongpa?

The Ministry of Land and the Ministry of National Defense

will definitely be against it.

That's why we're asking for your help.

If Hyungjae E&C's White Town is built

near the new campus as well,

it'll be able to look after even your grandchild's grandchild.

Even my grandchild's grandchild?

That does sound very tempting.

Here, let's drink.

-Yes. -Sure, Mr. Jo.

Hey. Don't get mad about something like this.

-I'll buy you chicken. -Forget it.

-Stop being mad. -Don't touch me.

Darn it. Why did he have to tell me this on his way home?

He should do his job properly.

Not everyone can be the chief.

Chief, do this. Chief, do that.

What would they do without me?

Gosh.

Yes.

I understand. Yes, sir.

Jo Gab-soo makes connections using women and lobbying.

He wins people over by providing women to their tastes and bribing them.

That's very like him.

Even if we get him arrested for that, he'll only be charged with coercion.

Shouldn't we go after his money first?

No.

2004 CHEONGUNGAK SEXUAL FAVORS SCANDAL

Cheongungak?

This is the case that made Jo Gab-soo what he is today.

In 2004, when Jo Gab-soo was the commissioner general,

Baek Sang-ho regularly received a huge amount of bribes from hostess bars.

With that money, they made a slush fund and found a place for lobbying.

That's how Jo Gab-soo, who had no connections, became an assemblyman.

So ever since 2004, Jo Gab-soo has grown bigger by providing women and bribing?

That's right.

And he made a space just like Cheongungak again

and is still providing women to entertain to leading figures.

I'm going to make a list of those who frequent there

and gather evidence

to catch Jo Gab-soo.

A lobbying space?

-Where is that? -It's Kingdom.

Ms. Min's secret agent.

JIN SUL-HEE

I'm that woman's

younger sister.

She's Jin Yeon-hee.

She has the same goal as us.

How do you know about Kingdom?

Because I've been there already.

Hyungjae Hotel, level K.

Level K?

Level K?

YOU HAVE ONE NEW VOICEMAIL

I-deum, please help me.

I'm at Hyungjae Hotel, K…

That's where Soo-ah was.

Did you know already?

I only found out recently. After Yeon-hee penetrated Kingdom.

If we had known back then, we could have solved Kong Soo-ah's case.

Lobbying, providing women, and concealing a murder?

All of his dirty laundry is there.

And I witnessed one of them last night.

It's recorded on this.

Here.

I couldn't get anything for a while, so I thought I was wasting time.

But I found something big.

He's Kim Ho-kyung, the president of Hankuk University.

You know him, right? The Prime Minister.

I think Jo Gab-soo is involved in illicit admissions.

He's acting as the broker between high officials and Hankuk University.

Illicit admissions?

If I keep tailing him, I'll get something.

Right.

Here.

Do you see the reflection of the car?

I met with the owner for the dash cam footage just to be sure.

It turned out

someone wanted to buy it, so they sold it.

They sold it?

Could it be Ms. Ma?

She's investigating Baek Sang-ho's death.

No, I don't think it's her. She would've met with Baek Min-ho first if she had it.

That means someone wants to cover up something

about Baek Sang-ho's death.

Could it be Jo Gab-soo?

Mr. Yeo, Jung Young-ho got arrested.

He was handed over to Mr. Koo from the Immigration Office.

Who is he?

He's the NFS researcher who forged the evidence for Kong Soo-ah's case.

Is that so?

That's great.

Jin-wook looks even more handsome in there.

He's sexy.

Mr. Jung Young-ho.

Do you admit that you forged the analysis report

for Kong Soo-ah's case?

No. I don't know anything about it.

This is the statement from Lee Sang-joon,

the researcher in charge of DNA testing at NFS.

He said that they never got any knuckles for analysis.

We were also able to restore the report

you deleted from your computer.

RESTORED FILES FROM JUNG YOUNG-HO'S COMPUTER

And you received 200 million won

right after you handed in your resignation.

Are you still going to say you don't know anything?

Who paid you to do it?

I was hiding abroad,

so I couldn't even be there

for my dad's passing.

I want to stay with him for his funeral.

Please get me indictment without detention.

Then I'll confess.

I told you, didn't I?

that we'll find another way to get the list.

I told you not to go there as a hostess!

Then what?

You think we can arrest Jo Gab-soo only with the list?

We have to get inside to get real evidence of their wrongdoings.

Even still.

How could you go

to entertain Park Myeong-hoe?

What else can I do?

Do you have another idea?

If you do, tell me.

Get out.

I don't need your evidence,

-so take it and leave. -Ms. Min.

Go do whatever you want!

Ms. Min, but…

-Where are you going? -Well…

I'm sorry.

I did it because I couldn't think

of any other way to catch him.

So,

please catch him this time.

Never act on your own without my order.

Can you promise me?

Yes.

You two are okay now, right?

Can we listen to this first?

Choi Yong-woon, the scanner breaks. It happens.

How could you embarrass me in front of a woman?

What? Hey.

I told you to call me Chief at work.

We're not at home.

Chief, my foot.

If I was the one who passed on the video, I would be in your position!

Hey!

I told you not to talk about the video.

If Jo Gab-soo finds out, both of us will be killed!

Watch your mouth, okay?

Do your job properly.

We got the statement from NFS

admitting that the evidence was forged.

Both you and Ahn Tae-kyoo

don't have any evidence left.

We have to start from the beginning.

You mentioned Ahn Tae-kyoo's video.

We can flip this case around if we have that.

Do you know where it could be?

Or do you know anyone who might have taken it?

-If you can-- -How can I trust you?

I can't trust anyone right now.

Even my brother, whom I trusted,

died while trying to resolve my case.

I won't give up.

I will right wrongs no matter what.

I have nothing else to say.

We don't have much time.

If you think of anything,

tell me before the trial.

I went to your brother's house to find the video,

but Jo Gab-soo got rid of the house.

I'm sorry.

I'm the one

who did that

to Sang-ho.

Ma I-deum was

holding a grudge against me.

I should've nipped it in the bud,

but I failed to do that,

so it's my fault.

Once we appeal,

your sentence will be shortened.

Hang in there

just a little longer.

When you get out,

you need to fill in for Sang-ho.

That way, he could rest in peace up above.

What happened

to our house

and my brother's things?

Don't worry about a thing.

I kept everything as is.

Your house and your brother's things.

They're all being kept safe.

I need to tell the prosecutor something.

Your visit is over. Go in.

They said a video, right?

That's what I heard.

So they gave the original to Jo Gab-soo.

If he gave an obedient thug the title of chief,

the video has something that can destroy him.

It may be quicker to get the video than the lobby list.

We need to find out where it is first.

Carefully approach Choi Yong-woon.

Not him. I already tried, but he's so suspicious of others, so I gave up.

Then I'll meet Dong-shik.

-You will? -Of course.

You see, I'm really good at seducing men.

-What did you say? -Dong-shik.

He'll be mine soon.

Yong-woon, that bastard.

Can I order?

Excuse me.

Yes?

I'd like to give him this.

This?

Yes.

His glass is empty. Go on.

Okay.

What's this?

She sent it.

I'm trying hard here. Why don't you drink with me?

Bill, please.

This is so humiliating.

Why doesn't he like me?

Come on.

Let's have a drink together.

-Stop that. -Just one drink.

Dong-shik?

Yeon-hee.

I have a girlfriend.

A girlfriend? She is?

-Let's go. -Babe,

who's that old lady?

Are you cheating on me?

What?

What do you mean? I have standards.

She's a crazy woman. Let's go quickly.

Yes, he is cheating!

That liar. He said he loved me and kissed me earlier.

Come on, let's have a drink together.

I don't look so bad today.

Ms. Ma?

You have the wrong person.

Wait. It really is you.

It is really you, Ms. Ma.

You know, I believe all jobs are equal.

-So do I. -Pardon?

I'm busy, so--

-But-- Sure. -Okay.

-Gosh. -Goodness.

I heard she's not doing well as a lawyer, but must she really do that?

What do you mean?

Nothing. Let us try harder to live a good life.

Goodness.

You saw earlier, right?

I had to get rid of that crazy woman.

Sorry for saying you were my girlfriend.

I don't mind.

What?

You don't need to apologize.

I was happy being your girlfriend for those few minutes.

What?

What do you mean?

Didn't you know?

I liked you from the first time I saw you.

So did I.

How is the appeal preparation going?

We have plenty to rebut the claims

the prosecution has made.

This has to be the last time. Are you confident we'll win?

Yes. You may rest assured.

Tell me,

how long have you worked for Gab-soo?

I was hired by Hyungjae upon leaving the prosecutors' office,

so it has been five years.

Five years?

Then you've stayed there long enough.

Are you interested in working for me now?

At Yongpa Cultural Center at 10 :00a.m.,

you have a lecture on "Making a Happy Yongpa."

At 2:00 p.m.,

you have the Regional Business Conference.

At 5:00 p.m.,

after visiting Yongpa Market,

you will be leading a meeting on how to revive the business district.

-Yes? -It's about Baek Min-ho.

I think he's going to tell that prosecutor something unnecessary.

Take care of it.

Yes, sir.

Hey.

Found it.

What--

Bring him.

No!

That isn't mine!

That isn't mine!

It's not mine!

Come on.

Come on.

I know you can do it.

Get my Yeon-hee out.

Since when was she "your" Yeon-hee?

Since yesterday. She said she loved me.

So she wants to quit working at Kingdom.

Really?

She says she loves you?

-Yes. -She wants to quit Kingdom?

-Stop the nonsense. -Hey.

Do I look like I'm kidding?

No.

The Prime Minister really likes her.

Replace her with someone who looks like her.

What if things work out and I marry her?

Then things will get awkward.

My goodness.

Will you do it?

Get it together unless you want to catch hell from this guy.

-Hello, sir. -Did you see

my hole-in-one golf ball in Kingdom?

Where is it?

Where am I supposed to find it?

Darn it. Seriously.

Can't he do this himself?

Darn it. He took it with him.

DONG-SHIK: BABE, WHEN WILL YOU COME OVER?

No. It's too dangerous.

I don't know how long I'll have to wait if I miss this chance.

Then, should I go with her?

She needs someone with investigation experience.

It'll be worse.

Do you want to trespass and steal as a team?

Dong-shik invited her over, so it isn't trespassing.

Besides, we know where the video is. We can't sit back and do nothing.

What if he catches you leaving with the video?

Can you guarantee nothing will go wrong?

Let's look for another way.

That's right. I thought about it, and we shouldn't break the law.

Do as she says.

There are plenty of ways to legally use the government's power.

What are they?

Ways that I know well from experience.

Give me your number. Text me when you decide when you'll go to his house.

As you probably already know, I work differently from Ms. Min.

I like that.

So? Did you look into it?

Yes. Jin Yeon-hee's older sister was Jin Sul-hee, who killed herself in 2004.

Okay.

Send me the documents and photos.

FAMILY RELATION CERTIFICATE JIN YEON-HEE

SIBLING: JIN SUL-HEE, DECEASED

A rat sneaked in.

I'm sorry, sir. I'll take care of it.

No.

No matter how daring she is,

she wouldn't have sneaked in without any help.

I'm sure there's someone behind her.

Find out who that is first.

Yes, sir.

-What? -How did it go?

Did you find a replacement?

Darn it. Seriously.

You're not taking it seriously, are you?

Get my Yeon-hee out quickly.

What's wrong with you?

Stop going overboard, you idiot. She--

Anyway, she doesn't really like you.

How do you know that? Did you meet her?

You don't know how sorry she is about working at Kingdom.

I really want things to work out well for me and her.

Hey! You're my friend, aren't you?

Can't you do this much for me?

You frustrating moron.

Did he hang up on me?

I'm losing my mind. Darn it.

I hear you're seeing Dong-shik.

I am.

He says he loves you so much.

What about you?

Well--

Stop coming here.

What?

I'm saying you can stop working at Kingdom.

Why?

Did I do something wrong?

That's not it.

Seriously.

Dong-shik, that punk,

has been begging me to get you out of here.

You must feel uncomfortable doing this while seeing him too.

I understand why Dong-shik's being like that.

But just ignore it.

To be honest, our relationship isn't that serious yet.

I want

to continue working at Kingdom.

The job suits me.

I like it.

Do you mean it?

Yes. I have no intention of quitting.

Fine. Okay.

You may go.

Okay.

Did you hear that?

Love, my foot.

She's just using you. Wake up, you idiot.

Son of a bitch.

Baek Min-ho, come out.

Don't tell me you still believe there's hope.

Don't say anything stupid,

and just stay quiet

if you want to stay alive.

Okay?

Go.

I'll tell you everything.

If I'll die whether or not I talk,

I should talk.

I don't want to be the only one suffering anymore.

The place where Kong Soo-ah was beaten up.

It was not an ordinary hotel room.

It was Kingdom.

It's in Hyungjae Hotel, on the K floor.

Kingdom?

A secret lobbying place that Jo Gab-soo created.

That was where the video of Kong Soo-ah

was filmed too.

Are you sure Choi Yong-woon isn't coming home today?

YONG-WOON IS ON A BUSINESS TRIP. COME OVER.

-What is all of this? -I told you.

It's a way to legally use the government's power.

Awesome.

First, leave some of them in the bathroom.

And make sure to put one in Choi Yong-woon's room.

Okay.

I'll call it in after ten minutes.

Once they're in place, get out of there.

I'll have the police search the place for illegal hidden cameras.

Okay.

-I'm here. -Hey. Come in.

May I use the bathroom?

-Sure. That way. -Okay.

Ms. Min.

I'll find the video.

I'm with I-deum.

-Dong-shik. -Yes?

I'm hungry. Will you make me instant noodles?

Are you hungry?

I'll cook it right away.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

What?

I'm going to the bathroom.

But

you just went to the bathroom.

I found out who's behind Jin Yeon-hee.

It looks like Min Ji-sook and Ma I-deum are working with her.

Ma I-deum?

PROSECUTOR MA I-DEUM

Hey.

Did you think I was an idiot?

Dong-shik.

I-deum!

They walked in on their own,

so cut off their ankles.

Put weapons on them after you kill them,

and say it was self-defense.

No one will be able to rebut that.

Ms. Min. I'll find the video.

I'm with I-deum.

The phone you called is turned off.

Ms. Min.

-Hyungjae Hotel has a secret-- -Wait. Just a second, Mr. Yeo.

I think something happened to Ms. Ma.

I'll go.

The phone you called is turned off. You'll be directed--

So you had an ulterior motive when you approached me.

-What psychotic bitches. -Step aside.

Hey.

Why did you come here?

What were you looking for?

You have the video, right? Hand it over.

Video?

The one you threatened Jo Gab-soo with. Hand it over.

It'll be better for you to hand it over while I'm being nice.

What makes you so confident?

You should worry about yourself.

Do you think

you guys will walk out of here alive?

What? Did you think we'd tremble in fear?

Hey. I was a prosecutor for seven years.

I've seen countless punks like you.

You don't scare me.

You should cooperate before the cops come.

I called them before I came here.

You did?

-What a little-- -What?

You'll rot in jail if you keep refusing.

See? Police! Help!

Over here! Here!

-Help! -The police are really here.

Make them go away.

Is anyone home?

Excuse us.

We received a call.

Does your phone number end in 7451?

I made the report, actually.

I'm sorry.

-It was a prank call. -What?

He and I were fooling around, and I called as a prank.

I didn't think you'd really come.

I'm sorry.

You should know better. You shouldn't do this.

Because of prank calls,

those who really need help

might lose their chance to get help. Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry.

Don't do this again.

I'm sorry.

Wait.

I'm sorry for wasting your time.

It'll never happen again.

Have a good night.

-Don't do this ever again. -Yes, sir.

Get inside.

Just a minute.

I'm a prosecutor.

-Yes, sir. -We must search this place.

Pardon?

An abducted woman is in there. Please hurry.

-Abducted? -Yes, sir.

What the hell?

Let go!

Let go!

Let go!

Let go!

-Darn it. -I-deum.

-Let go! -I-deum!

Let go of me. Let go.

-Ms. Ma. -Choi Yong-woon.

Get Choi Yong-woon first. He has the video.

Hurry.

Darn it.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made you do this.

Gosh. Seriously.

Hold on.

What about the video? Is it in there?

Ms. Ma.

Why are you so reckless?

What if something worse had happened?

You should've told me at least!

Why are you getting so angry?

I'm sorry.

I was wrong. I mean it.

That's why I came like this.

Worry about yourself. Look. You're hurt.

It hurts, right?

Are you okay?

It hurts.

Seriously.

LAWYER MIN JI-SOOK

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT

The defendant claimed

that Baek Min-ho murdered Kong Soo-ah,

and submitted brass knuckles with Baek Min-ho's blood on them as evidence.

Jung Young-ho of NFS, who analyzed the knuckles,

submitted this written statement.

He states that no such evidence existed

and that he forged it per Ahn Tae-kyoo's request.

He tried to cover up his crimes,

and it proves that he was the real murderer.

Defense. Do you have anything to say?

I'd like to submit NFS researcher Lee Sang-joon's letter of resignation.

Why are you submitting this?

He's the one who analyzed the glove with studs

the prosecution submitted as evidence.

He was recently disciplined for embezzlement.

If we accept the claim that the knuckles evidence

was forged as per Ahn Tae-kyoo's orders,

we must also question

the glove the prosecution submitted.

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

The pieces of evidence both parties submitted

lack credibility, and thus,

we will exclude both from consideration.

Prosecution.

Do you have any other evidence?

The trial is over.

Let's go.

Your Honor.

I'm the defendant Baek Min-ho's new counsel.

Ma I-deum.

I submit a video of Ahn Tae-kyoo assaulting the victim as evidence.

We need to silence the prosecutor first.

He caught us off guard.

Three months of suspension?

We decided to go to Bujin Island.

Is this for me, Mom?

Something necessitating a special investigation.

We need Baek Sang-ho's note then.

This calls for a fatal blow.

Evidence regarding Baek Sang-ho's suicide?

Team up with us.

Let's catch Jo Gab-soo.
