Original subtitles

Choi Gyung-ja and Kwak Young-shil are both here as you suspected.

Kwak Young-shil is living as Choi Gyung-sun now.

Kill them.

Kill them both.

Where's Ms. Choi Gyung-ja?

Thank you very much.

All she did was draw windows everywhere,

so I was very concerned.

There are even artists who draw only circles.

She's doing it to treat herself, so help her draw freely.

Doctor.

We'll be done once we interview the director.

Okay. I'll wait in the car then.

Ms. Choi.

Dr. Ko.

My gosh.

What are the chances?

You're right.

How have you been?

I've been okay. What about you?

It's been the same for me.

Why don't we go have some tea or something?

I'm sorry, but I'm very busy right now.

Let's meet again another time. I'm sorry.

Ms. Choi.

You have a package.

A package?

No. I'm not expecting any package.

You're not?

That's odd. He said he had one for Gyung-sun too

and asked where she was.

What?

SAMJIN DELIVERIES

Gyung-sun, come here.

Is something wrong?

Grab your wallet and cell phone. Hurry.

What is it?

We need to run.

Pack lightly, okay?

Damn it.

What is it? What's going on?

I'll tell you later.

Let's go.

Gyung-ja.

The truth is,

I borrowed money from a loan shark.

If they catch us,

they'll kill both of us.

A loan shark?

TICKETS

DELIVERIES

Ms. Choi.

She's my sister. Her name is Gyung-sun.

Gyung-sun.

She's the director of the hospital I used to work at.

Dr. Ko.

Please hide us until we reach the dock. Please.

What are you doing?

The license plate number is 4686.

Both of them are in that car, so get them!

Check it!

What is it?

It's nothing. I'm sorry.

They're looking for you here too. Do you have anywhere to go?

You lost them right in front of you?

Do your job right!

I'm sorry, sir.

I'll catch them by tracking their phones.

Hello, sir.

Mayor Jo, I hear Min Ji-sook

got her hands on Baek Sang-ho's journal. Are you aware?

What did you say? Journal?

A special investigation began because of it.

Pardon?

This morning,

Min Ji-sook's special investigation team officially announced

that they will begin investigating

Hankuk University's admissions scandal and sexual bribery at Kingdom.

Before we begin the investigation,

I would like to share some of our goals with the public.

One. We will not be distracted or swayed

while investigating the two cases

that aroused public rage.

One. We will not limit the area of the investigation

or let ranks of those investigated affect it.

One.

We will investigate to reveal the truth

about the sexual bribery taken place at Kingdom thoroughly.

Ms. Ma I-deum will tell you the details.

Hello. I'm Ma I-deum.

I hear that your team found key evidence. Can you tell us what it is?

It's a journal written by the late Baek Sang-ho,

a man who served Mayor Jo for 20 years.

What's written in it?

It contains the list of those who visited Kingdom

and how they were bribed.

When will you make the list public?

We'll do that as soon as possible.

KO JAE-SOOK PSYCHIATRY CLINIC

What happened?

Fourteen years ago,

I overheard the conversation between you and Mr. Baek.

So

I ran away with her after faking her death.

Because she saved my life.

Then have you been pretending to be real sisters all this time?

She couldn't remember anything.

I thought that was for the better.

Ms. Choi.

She has a daughter.

Yes. I know.

She came to Bujin Island with Jin-wook for some investigation not long ago.

One of them

doesn't remember a thing,

and the other thinks her mom is dead. So if they just live like this--

Do you hear yourself?

What you've done is abduction.

Then, what about what you did?

Yes, it was wrong, and I must atone for it.

But

we can't keep lying to everyone like this.

If you won't tell them, then I will.

Wait. Dr. Ko.

-Regarding Kingdom's… -Dr. Ko.

Your son is on television.

Baek Sang-ho who used to work for Mayor Jo…

Your son is really amazing.

Here's the special investigation team's briefing.

Hello. I'm Ma I-deum.

Dr. Ko.

Please wait a little longer.

You saw it yourself yesterday.

Gyung-sun

will be killed if Jo Gab-soo catches her.

But we can't.

Then how much of it will you tell them?

That she was abducted

and confined for seven years?

Or that she was almost murdered

even when she was in a coma?

Have you thought about how shocked they will be?

So please. Give me some time.

Once Jo Gab-soo gets arrested,

I will tell

Gyung-sun and her daughter myself.

Please. Just until then.

Did you all read through the journal?

Up to how they were bribed by hostess bars

during the World Cup in 2006.

I have 11 more years to go through.

I'm still on 2005.

It's 20 years' worth of record, so there's a lot to read.

If we make a list of people Jo Gab-soo has met just once,

it'll go over 300 names.

Let's not make it complicated.

Jo Gab-soo is the star here. Let's pick out a few regulars for the investigation.

You said you made a list, right?

Yes. Prime Minister Park,

Commissioner General Moon,

Chief Prosecutor Kim,

Assistant Chief Prosecutor Oh, and President Kim of Hankuk University.

We have a spectacular list of key figures.

Wait. Mr. Kim and Mr. Oh are in on it too?

Yes. I noticed that Mr. Kim showed up starting in August of 2012.

Mr. Oh started showing up last September.

-No way. -They're all currently in their posts.

-This is like a grand slam. -But

isn't our case comparably easy?

Other special investigations usually start from scratch,

so the investigators must start with collecting evidence.

You're right. The journal tells me that Baek was meticulous.

He wrote the dates, orders, and even circumstances.

Everything is detailed.

But it's just indirect evidence.

We need definite evidence of bribery or their confession at least

in order to make things certain.

Yes. The most important part of this investigation is

to back up the journal as much as we can.

The Kingdom case

is the biggest sexual bribery case to date.

The public gave us the chance to get rid of the rotten parts of society.

It's a chance you won't get again in your career.

Please do your best.

-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.

Let's call in the key figures first.

I'm sorry, sir.

Please answer sincerely for our dear prospect prosecutor.

This is the wrong way around.

You must show me evidence that I went to Kingdom,

and then ask me the question.

Out of the 370 people listed in Baek's journal,

your name appears the most.

In return for sexual service, you got him nominated

and appointed to an important post.

You even gave him a tip-off.

You're practically his soulmate.

Let's talk about the 2003 nomination scandal first.

You must think the public has your back.

Do you have any evidence other than some paper written by an ex-detective?

I've never been to Kingdom,

and I have nothing to do with Jo Gab-soo.

That's all I can say to you.

He's here.

Do you admit having sex with a woman from Kingdom?

Is it true that you had him nominated during the general election

in return for several sexual favors?

Do not denounce someone based on assumptions.

Then how much of it is true?

I've never been given any sexual favors.

-Wait. -Move!

Did you really leak investigation information in return for sexual favors?

Did you cover up the demolition site incident in Yongpa for sexual bribery?

We met just to drink. There were never any sexual favors.

Please don't make such a vulgar person.

-Please say a word. -Stand back!

They went to Kingdom, but there was never sexual bribery?

It's the same as saying they didn't drive drunk after drinking.

It's going as we anticipated. Is our next step ready?

Yes. We had Choi Yong-woon send us a list of girls involved in the sexual bribery.

We got statements from five of them.

Okay. What time does the questioning start?

It's almost time.

Ms. Min.

I can't get ahold of any of the girls from Kingdom who agreed

to make a statement.

All of them left the country.

They all agreed not to come back until it's over.

Good work.

Gosh. Jo Gab-soo is really quick.

I'll meet with the hostesses from the list who originally refused to be questioned.

They refused in order to avoid getting branded as Kingdom's hostesses.

It won't be easy.

But the sexual bribery is the beginning of all these illegal activities.

We need to make him admit it first to bring up the other crimes.

Let's look for another way.

There is a way.

Something to make him admit it himself.

A special investigation or not,

they have nothing to go on.

How will they investigate?

Like a storm in a teacup, this too will die down.

You can rest assured.

You're indeed quick on your feet. I knew I could count on you.

I'm just sorry for inconveniencing you this much.

Let's have a drink once this blows over.

Kingdom is a hot issue due to the special case.

A rumor has started on social media

that AIDS has spread in Kingdom.

Someone posted pictures of a K Card,

known as an access card to Kingdom,

and a positive AIDS test kit.

To this, many netizens believe the political figures

listed to have visited Kingdom might be infected.

In order to calm the controversy,

the police are tracking down the writer.

Experts say AIDS is not passed on easily,

but they emphasize that we should take measures to find and treat those infected.

AIDS?

What is this nonsense?

AIDS TESTING

AIDS TEST KIT

Excuse me.

Gosh, aren't you the prime minister?

PHARMACY

AIDS…

Pardon?

AIDS…

Well…

-AIDS-- -Sir.

Why are you blowing into my ear?

Just tell me. What do you need?

Well…

-AIDS kit. -What?

Gosh.

Kit. AIDS.

AIDS test kit?

Give me one more.

Over here.

-Did you get me one too? -Yes.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Here. You too.

Open up.

Okay.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Yes!

Yes, give me a big smile.

Congratulations.

You guys are working hard.

Now, go ahead and ask me anything.

Shall we?

It's a great picture.

It's good.

Well…

Bravo. Congratulations.

You got a single line.

Ma I-deum, you punk.

This picture alone is good enough for the evidence of sexual bribery.

But you already know that, right?

Anyway, I'll give you a piece of advice for old times' sake.

If you want there to be any extenuating circumstances,

you'd better tell us everything you know

about Jo Gab-soo.

Where do I start?

Tell us everything you know.

All right.

Bring your laptop.

Great work, Mr. Koo.

Gosh. It was nothing.

Okay. Tell me what you investigated.

Yes. Park Myeong-hoe admitted to receiving sexual favors.

However, he said that he was forced

by Jo Gab-soo. He emphasized it.

What about you, Park?

They admitted to it as well.

They all claimed that Jo Gab-soo forced it.

They all decided to blame Jo Gab-soo.

Then,

is it time?

I'll go get him.

I must be really important indeed.

As many as three prosecutors are present to question me.

It's been 20 years.

Of course, I should warmly welcome you, Mr. Jo.

Ms. Min Ji-sook. You must think

you can catch me with one little journal.

I'm not someone who will crumble that easily.

You've already crumbled, Mayor Jo.

The crimes you've committed are all written in the journal.

Park Myeong-hoe, Kim Ho-kyung, Oh Soo-chul, and the rest.

Everyone named you as the instigator.

All that remains is for you to admit it.

Twenty years ago,

you got away due to lack of evidence.

But we have a lot this time.

Ms. Min Ji-sook.

"We'll get him this time. We'll get him for sure this time."

How many times have you said that and left empty-handed?

I think that's enough with the formalities.

-Let's begin. -Just a minute.

Mr. Jo.

Have you eaten yet?

-Pardon? -You should eat first.

There's a place that makes good rice and beans.

Just wait.

I'll get you back many times over…

with this for what you did to my mom.

I'll teach you what it feels like

to wish you could just die.

So you need to eat. You must stay healthy until then.

This is fun.

Did you enjoy the food?

-It was very good. -Thank you.

I didn't think you'd really treat us.

-I smell like beef. -I'm so full.

-Did you eat well too, honey? -Yes, I did.

Now, since we ate beef,

let's work like a cow.

What is this?

What's wrong?

-The journal is gone. -What?

What?

-The journal? -Did someone move it?

No. I put it in and locked the drawer.

-Look carefully. -This is insane.

Was it really this person?

Where's the journal?

What do you mean?

Tell us the truth.

SPECIAL INVESTIGATION OFFICE FINGERPRINT ACCESS LOG

Why did you do it?

What happened with you and Jo Gab-soo?

-Well, the thing is-- -Hoon-soo!

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to go this far.

But he said…

He threatened to expose…

what I did before.

Then you helped him hide the Kingdom workers too?

I'm sorry.

Mr. Park.

You know how many people are working on this case.

Sorry.

If you're sorry, get investigated properly.

I'll hand you over to the police once this case's over.

Ma'am.

SPECIAL PROSECUTOR MIN JI-SOOK

Ma'am…

How did it go?

-Why that-- -Stop.

Damn it. How can he call himself a prosecutor?

What do we do?

Still,

we have a copy, so we can continue investigating.

That's a relief.

The problem is after the indictment.

If the journal is excluded from evidence

because it is not the original,

it'll hit us hard.

It'll only provide grounds for a reduced sentence.

Shouldn't we find the journal then?

If it went to Jo Gab-soo, he must've destroyed it.

True. It's the most detrimental factor for him.

I doubt that.

You saw the journal.

It contains so much dirt on politicians and high officials.

It's too valuable to destroy easily.

Shouldn't we search his place and office?

We don't want word getting out we lost the journal.

We must move as discreetly as possible.

Do you think there is a way?

There may be.

It's time to collect on our insurance?

The Prime Minister has a daughter

no one knows about?

Sang-ho.

You're helping me even when you're dead.

What is it?

Reporters keep calling about your involvement in the special investigation.

I think you should prepare an official statement.

You said to come if I'm ready to work for you. Does that offer still stand?

What do you mean?

I saw that Mayor Jo has Baek Sang-ho's journal,

the special investigation team's key evidence.

I'll bring you that journal.

It should help you pressure Mayor Jo when you have to.

How can I trust you?

Pardon?

You repeatedly told me to trust you during Tae-kyoo's trial.

But how did that go?

Even if you know where the journal is,

how will you steal it from him?

That's far-fetched.

Gab-soo isn't a sucker.

Don't talk big if it isn't a sure thing.

-He's with a guest. -We'll wait.

Please tell him we'll be brief.

I told you over the phone.

The chairman has refused to meet you.

My goodness. You're a pro when it comes to survival.

You're on Ahn Suk-pil's side now that Jo Gab-soo isn't looking good?

Stay out of my business.

But then, self-preservation is the most important.

But did Chairman Ahn even agree to accept you?

Shouldn't you look for a way to live too?

You should find the journal first.

You didn't come here, thinking Chairman Ahn would have the journal, did you?

How did she know we lost the journal?

The moment you open this,

our deal is sealed.

Forget it if you don't want to.

MEDICAL RECORD PATIENT AHN SUH-RIM

If you give Chairman Ahn this, I think he'll accept you.

What

must I give you?

-Where are you going to search? -Do you have a new lead regarding Kingdom?

-A word, please! -A word, please!

-A word, please! -A word, please!

-A word, please! -A word, please!

SPECIAL PROSECUTOR MIN JI-SOOK

What's the lead?

Where are you going?

SEARCH TEAM ON ITS WAY. GET READY.

Are the prosecutors here?

The thing is--

What is it?

KINGDOM SPECIAL INVESTIGATION SEARCH

A word, please.

There is a patient in the room.

You can't come in. Wait outside. We'll search and come right out.

What is it?

What are you doing?

Time to make atonement.

Search team on its way.

Get ready.

RECENT DESTINATIONS

Ganghae General Hospital in Bundang. I think it's hidden in Ahn Suh-rim's room.

Heo Yoon-kyung.

They're coming.

What brings you here?

We got a tip-off about Jo's another crime,

so we came to search this hospital.

What crime is that?

It's Jo Gab-soo's attempted murder

of his wife, Ahn Suh-rim.

-Attempted murder? -Attempted murder?

Can you tell us in greater detail?

Ahn Suh-rim, believed to be braindead due to a rare disease,

was in a drug-induced coma.

It was confirmed that she was healthy and without any disease.

Are you saying he had her drugged?

That's correct. A doctor gave a written opinion that she may have died

due to severe damage to her organs if this had been found later.

What happens now?

We plan to add attempted murder

to Jo Gab-soo's list of crimes and investigate accordingly.

Tell Ms. Heo to come in.

Ms. Heo has resigned.

What?

How dare you come here?

Did you watch the news?

Those prosecutors are framing me. Don't fall for their lies.

Suk-pil.

Suk-pil!

Have the legal team leader come in.

What--

Heo-- You--

SEOUL FAMILY COURT

They're divorce papers.

Sign them.

Suk-pil.

I'm no longer your family.

I'll get you back for what you did

to Suh-rim.

You'd better be prepared, Gab-soo.

Ms. Heo.

If the prosecution needs anything from us, give them everything.

Do whatever it takes

to make that rat Jo Gab-soo

rot in jail for the rest of his life.

Got it?

Yes, sir.

But…

CASE FILE: MURDER OF KWAK YOUNG-SHIL

Ms. Ma.

You know this is why I've worked hard until now.

Once Jo Gab-soo is arrested,

let me add on my mom's murder case

and investigate it myself.

I do understand how you feel. And I plan to investigate your mom's case.

However, it's against the rules for the victim's family

to investigate the accused.

That's retaliation.

Ma'am.

I have someone in mind who's suitable for the job.

Who is it?

SPECIAL PROSECUTOR MIN JI-SOOK

Do you plan to take

my mom's case?

Yes.

You understand what it means

if you take this case, right?

I do.

If I were you, I wouldn't take the case.

How could I?

I'd be sending my mom to jail.

But still, please do it.

You're the only person I can ask right now.

I want to punish him with my own hands,

but I can't,

so you do it for me.

Jo Gab-soo.

Make sure he's punished properly.

I will.

You don't need to do that.

We're troubling you. I feel bad.

It's okay. Go inside.

Okay. I'll go in after wiping these.

The picture came out nice. What a nice smile.

You must be a good person.

SON

-Hi, Jin-wook. -I need to talk to you.

I'll come to the hospital.

No, I'll go to you. Where are you?

It's been a while.

It must've been so tough for you.

Mom.

Have you thought about what I said to you…

when we last met?

Yes.

Sorry.

I know how you felt when you called me.

I'm sorry for making it so hard for you.

And I

am prepared to be punished.

-Mom. -But Jin-wook.

If I testify in court,

everyone will find out that you're a son

of the Psychiatrist Ko Jae-sook.

Then, you…

will become a prosecutor with a criminal mom.

-Is that okay? -No.

It's not okay.

What son would be okay prosecuting his own mom?

I want to avoid it if I can.

When I think about the pain you'll suffer after the trial,

it breaks my heart too.

But you know as well…

that I have no choice.

I'm sorry,

Mom.

It's okay.

Don't worry about me,

and do your job as a prosecutor.

Special Prosecutor Min Ji-sook has requested

an arrest warrant for Mayor Jo Gab-soo.

WARRANT FOR MAYOR JO GAB-SOO OF YONGPA

I will now begin the briefing.

After investigating crimes committed by Jo Gab-soo,

the mayor of Yongpa City,

we requested a warrant for his arrest

for abuse of power, obstruction of justice,

forging documents, receiving bribes,

criminal intimidation, and bribing authorities.

He created an illegal venue for bribery…

Gyung-sun.

Yes, Gyung-ja?

Is something wrong?

No.

When I saw that prosecutor,

I suddenly started to cry.

All of this has been confirmed.

-The defendant, -Isn't that weird?

in order to hide his crimes,

attempted to kill the victim multiple times.

-Hello? -Hello, doctor.

This is Choi Gyung-ja.

Yes, go ahead.

I think

it's time to tell her everything.

I think so too.

I'm on my way to see Ms. Ma as well.

Okay.

Please tell her everything she should know.

I will. You too, Ms. Choi.

According to Prosecutor Ma, the team requested an arrest warrant

for Mayor Jo Gab-soo.

The questioning prior to his arrest will be conducted

at Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office tomorrow morning.

We requested a warrant

for his arrest for abuse of power,

obstruction of justice, forging documents,

receiving bribes, criminal intimidation,

and bribing authorities.

-Step down! -Step down!

The corrupt mayor must resign!

-Resign! -Resign!

-Step down! -Step down!

-Step down! -Step down!

-Step down! -Step down!

JO GAB-SOO OUT

NO MORE CORRUPT AUTHORITIES

Listen

carefully to what I'm about to tell you,

and don't be too shocked, okay?

What is it?

Ms. Ma.

Your mom is alive.

What?

Let's say what you say is true.

Why are you suddenly telling me this?

Because you have a daughter

that you lost 20 years ago.

What?

You saw her already.

The young prosecutor lady you saw on the news

just earlier.

She's your daughter.

Does…

Does she know

that I'm her mom?

Probably.

Dr. Ko went

to tell her that you're here.

Your daughter

is coming now.

Gyung-ja.

How could you do this?

Out of the blue, you say I'm not your sister.

And I have a daughter?

Sorry.

I'm very sorry.

But

your daughter has searched for you for 20 years.

And

after hearing that you're alive,

she's rushing right over.

What is

my daughter's name?

Ma I-deum.

"Ma I-deum"?

That must be her.

Who are you?
