(Tracer Season 2)

I once specialized in dealing with...

window dressing and paper companies.

To reach the top of the National Tax Service,

the Tax Agency is the place to be, as I heard.

Send me there.

How can I get to Bureau Five?

Is it your first time at the bureau?

You know what kind of work you do there, don't you?

It's a special department dealing with vicious businesses.

I'm sure you'll have a hard time.

Nice to meet you. I'm the newly dispatched team leader, Hwang Dong Ju.

People without pride, self-esteem, and ambitions for success,

- just like you. - Hey!

I hate to be on a losing team.

I think we're ruined.

A sharp sword.

I'm here to renew the National Tax Service.

If he wants to be used, we need to use him.

What we do is to cover the weakness of the National Tax Service.

What on earth do you want to do here?

To get what I want,

we first need to disturb the bureau managers.

The Joongang Regional Office has to lose all five of them.

Hwang Dong Ju...

He's quite dangerous.

Wait and see how I use Hwang Dong Ju to get rid of...

those who need to be removed.

Who created the concept that it's all right...

for people with power to be shallow in this world?

Who created the prejudice...

that only people who have no power have to pay their tax?

Aren't we here to catch them?

- You lost, Jung Il. - Excuse me?

That little rat...

is monkeying around with everyone under me one after another.

Do you remember?

(Director, In Tae Jun)

I mean, Mr. Hwang Chul Min.

Or bring me my father's lost item that you took...

four years ago.

It may have been overlooked until now,

but not this time.

Chief Lee, I need a team for inspection.

Director In?

I found this on the floor.

It's possible to fear people more than money and power.

I'll make sure they realize it.

What did you do?

(The names of people, incidents, and backgrounds...)

(of this drama are fictional.)

(Episode 1)

There are two ways you can save yourself.

You can beg for mercy.

Or bring me my father's lost item that you took...

four years ago.

Hwang Dong Ju.

I have nothing to tell you...

I have nothing...

Gosh, he's a real wack.

Here you go.

I don't know what you like, so...

No matter what you do, you won't get anything from me.

I'm not sure what you mean by I hid something, but...

January 19, 2017.

It was that day that your fates were twisted.

The former Commissioner Kim Min Soo persuaded In Tae Jun saying,

"You'll take this position next time,"

"so let me serve consecutive terms this time."

In Tae Jun and others started to work on it.

Five major corporations gathered money for support...

and sent a message by letting the money flow into the presidential election scene.

"This money can cause trouble,"

"so represent our opinion to the appointment of the next commissioner."

But there was a problem.

They didn't expect the election result could reverse at the last moment.

The presidential election was breathtaking...

like a drama.

As the National Tax Service attacks candidate Nam Jin Kyu...

regarding the issue of borrowed-name stocks,

the Progressive Party couldn't assure its victory.

You should take out the files of people around the president-elect.

They're all related to PQ Group.

It's all over now.

What difference would it make?

Even a tiny needle...

must be used as a sword at a time like this.

Even if you fail to serve consecutive terms,

you need to hang on to the last...

if you consider your subordinates who followed you to the end of the cliff.

You jerk, lower your eyes!

If you didn't encourage me,

I wouldn't have thought of getting involved in the presidential election!

Then you can end it now.

To my understanding, following you...

is over with me.

What?

If you insist on saving only yourself, I have no other way.

(National Tax Service)

I need to survive...

even if I have to cut someone else's neck.

Don't you try any funny business!

Hey, In Tae Jun!

I've been curious all along.

Commissioner Kim's motive was to serve consecutive terms.

But why did In Tae Jun involve himself in that battle so recklessly?

He was at the top of the Tax Agency.

He could leave the office and work anywhere else.

Did he try to keep his position to the end...

just out of loyalty to his subordinates?

Isn't it strange? I don't think you have that for each other.

You entered here to do silly things. That's why you're asking lame questions.

You think we're only after power or money?

- You're not? - This...

This is a home to me.

For decades, we devoted ourselves and achieved a lot of things.

This is our home!

We might look away behind our superiors,

but when a superior orders us, we can kill ourselves in this organization.

Even when it's a mess, we follow orders.

The reason we try to protect this organization...

is just because it's my home.

A jerk like you wouldn't understand it.

I know you broke someone else's gate to protect your home safe.

So is that the reason...

you were reminded of my father?

Now that people acknowledge us as Commissioner Kim's men.

the only thing we can do is to leave.

Have you thought about any alternatives?

Can't we work on the file on the people close to him?

The president-elect was a scholarship student of PQ Group.

You might look into it.

The investigation would take over four months.

I think we can hold out until then.

If you can't pressure PQ Group, how about using a different method?

You know, there was a rumor.

The reason PQ Group doesn't get rid of him...

is because they couldn't find the memorandum...

that contains the records of every lobbying activity.

(Director, In Tae Jun)

Do you remember?

The man Chairman Ryu of PQ Group valued the most,

Mr. Hwang Chul Min.

He was your friend too.

You mean, the one who should serve the nation and the people...

decided to draw a sword for PQ Group?

I'm a taxpayer too.

How can I trust someone who swears allegiance sitting here?

Once, those who didn't receive a bribe...

from Hwang Chul Min of PQ Group,

were not treated as legitimate political and economic figures, they said.

A prosecutor became the Attorney General...

and a congressman became the President in the meantime.

Don't you want to find...

the memorandum hidden by Hwang Chul Min?

But they couldn't find the memorandum even with the threat of a tax audit.

So what did you do?

I'm asking you again.

What did you do to find the memorandum?

Did you coax him into giving it? Did you persuade him?

Or did you threaten him you'd make him live in pain worse than death?

At the time my father's car fell,

a car In Tae Jun owned ran on that road.

But the driver didn't have to be the owner.

Actually, after three hours,

the one who drove to the scene was someone else.

You were the one who drove the car...

and ordered the police chief to erase the CCTV footage too.

That's enough for me to insist that you were involved...

in my father's death.

What are you talking about?

Are you saying that I killed a man?

Your crime doesn't have to be more than that.

You might be able to cover it if you try.

Why are you trying to take upon someone else's fault?

I'm asking you for the last time.

What did you do to find the memorandum?

What did you do to find the memorandum?

What did you do?

On the day of the incident,

In Tae Jun met Hwang Chul Min, right?

He did.

What was the purpose?

Hwang Chul Min first suggested it.

He said he'd hand over the memorandum so that there would be no tax audit.

And then?

I just knew that they met.

After several hours, In Tae Jun called me.

He told me not to ask anything...

whatever happens from that moment.

And then I heard about the accident.

How much was PQ Group involved in it?

It formed a public opinion...

blaming Hwang Chul Min to be the corrupt one after all.

They wanted to prove it that way for 17 years.

Who led it?

Director Ryu Yong Sin.

Was the memorandum delivered after all?

I've never seen it.

I only know that they shared it.

PQ Group took the original copy...

and the USB with the file...

went to In Tae Jun. That's what they agreed on.

After the incident,

has In Tae Jun ever mentioned Hwang Chul Min?

Has he said anything like a regret or an excuse?

(Oh Young)

You punk.

Bring my father's lost item in front of me.

I'm not asking.

I'll give you a day.

When I was leaving? I was the last one,

except for Mr. Hwang. Why?

I heard that Chief Lee barged into our office,

so I wondered if there's anyone who can observe how it is.

You said that your team investigated...

Hwang Chul Min's tax audit four years ago, right?

Who led the investigation at that time?

The one who supervised Mr. Park.

Why are you asking that all of a sudden?

I just thought it could be under the same context.

I thought...

that the reason Mr. Hwang is taking such a risk...

could be either of the two.

Pain or revenge.

I thought it was because of what happened to his father.

But he's handling Chief Lee differently from An Sung Sik or Park Sung Ho,

so I assume there's something else.

It looks like he wants to make a deal.

But if he's making a deal with Lee Ki Dong,

that means he's after someone higher than Chief Lee.

Why are you doing this?

I'm paying back for what happened four years ago.

From now on,

many things will happen and it'll be hard to trust anyone.

I will trust you, no matter what they say.

So I hope you don't give up on me, Hye Young.

Live on.

Don't be ashamed of how you're living on.

Don't be silly and blame yourself.

Just keep living on, no matter what.

To regain your self-esteem. That's your daily wage, Hye Young.

Gosh.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

What's the reason they want to find this so desperately?

My father met In Tae Jun with the memorandum as justification,

but he didn't intend to hand it over.

It's enough that I served eight years in jail.

I've lived as a nobody for over ten years.

Why, after all this time...

The reason two cars ran to Sagock Lake.

The reason In Tae Jun had to chase my father.

(Recording)

I committed a crime, and I will take responsibility.

But you should join me, In Tae Jun.

I cannot forgive you.

Until the moment In Tae Jun went back to where he came from,

the car hadn't fallen yet.

Tae Jun.

Tae Jun, my leg...

Help me.

Help me.

Give me the recording first.

Take me out.

He had...

enough time.

No.

Tae Jun.

Hey, Tae Jun!

In Tae Jun.

In Tae Jun!

Tae Jun!

Are you out of your mind?

You should let go of me.

I'll let go of you if you tell me what you and Chief Lee talked about.

I told him not to disturb what we're doing anymore.

Until when...

are you going to do this by yourself so recklessly?

You spent four years like that...

to catch the culprit who killed your father.

Moreover, it's not just catching the culprit.

You made a crazy plan of revenge.

Then you must know that you need at least one person to help you.

Why can't you say that you need help?

Is it because you still feel guilty?

If you do, forget it. You have nothing to be sorry about.

No, it's because I'm worried.

Don't try to know more. You might regret it later.

For you, this is just a job.

You don't need to take a risk.

You're right. This is my job.

But although I don't want to get involved, I already am.

Are you doing this...

because of Director In?

From the material I gave you,

you found something more, didn't you?

Then,

back then, it wasn't an accident.

I guess it was an accident.

The truth is, he could have saved someone...

but he didn't.

- Why? - Because he had to take the memorandum.

That's what I think.

So don't try to find out more about it.

Thank you for asking.

Director

It's not that I have doubt on your judgment.

I'm asking because I'm really curious.

Is there a reason that you let Ryu Do Hyung know...

about the Gold Cash issue so quickly?

Did you want to see me?

I think you could have pressured...

Director Ryu or Chief Lee a lot more to your advantage.

Regarding Director Ryu,

we'll take an internal disciplinary process.

About Jaesong Construction,

I'll work on it as you wish.

I'm glad.

PQ Group won't suffer disgrace...

that it operated a money lending business.

By the way, Director In Tae Jun,

I don't like this kind of threat.

It might have worked on Director Ryu.

But you're not the only one PQ Group can ask for support.

From next time, I guess you can practice good manners.

You founded an unlisted company without any performance,

received work unfairly, and by giving bearer bond...

and exchanging unequal stocks, in an instant,

became the major shareholder of PQ Holdings.

Let me give you a piece of advice.

You need to learn to do things you don't like to do...

when you're sitting facing someone...

who can control you anytime he wants.

Sung Ho, how long have you been here?

Around 15 years, and 4 years under your guidance.

You've worked for me for four years and you're still saying something like that?

You don't know how to grasp the situation.

I think it'll be hard for you to keep your position in Hyemin Group.

You lose a battle if you rush things.

Remember.

You should induce your opponent to use that poor strategy.

Do you think Director Ryu will make the first move?

To play innocent that he has no idea what Gold Cash is,

he may have to silence...

either Director Joo or Lee Ki Dong.

Chief Lee, who betrayed you...

should be taken care of by Director Ryu.

Even if Director Joo becomes the one who's damaged,

it will work as a shackle to Ryu Yong Sin.

Damaged?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I also think it's none of your business.

(Ryu Yong Sin)

(Chief Lee Ki Dong)

You'd better get the phone!

Both of us are in trouble. What's wrong with him?

Darn it!

(One New Message)

PR Group got the information on the borrowed-name accounts we have.

CEO Ryu Do Hyung is after us...

to find out the source of capital for Gold Cash.

Ryu Yong Sin is going to pay for this.

I'd rather kill him and kill myself.

So keep silent and keep a low profile.

Otherwise, your family might be taken care of.

What's going on?

Have you done something to the car recently?

- Sorry? - The tie rod and the hydraulic brake...

are broken. But it seems like it was deliberately done.

You shouldn't try to do something after seeing some tips on the Internet.

It could've been really dangerous.

Anyway, I'll call you.

This is your last chance. So think before you speak.

Is there anything else you're hiding about this case?

Am I missing anything?

There's none. I'm not hiding anything.

I think he's ready to bust you at any time.

What do you say?

Do you still believe that Director In is on your side?

With that petty loyalty of yours?

In Tae Jun.

Did you go this far?

Did you?

I know your opinions about me.

Your right-hand man who betrayed you.

Corrupted trash.

I know very well that you don't use someone you suspected once...

for important business.

But I lived like a dog for you.

I can't leave like this.

Ki Dong.

If you want to make a deal, you should show your bag first.

I only listen when I can get something from it.

Four years ago, at the scene of the accident your father was involved.

Are you sure In Tae Jun was there?

It lost the admissibility of evidence as I took it.

But someone should know the truth.

What has gotten into you that you're repenting?

Do I look like I have an ulterior motive?

Don't be mistaken.

A live dog is better than a dead lion.

And I can live as a dog under In Tae Jun.

But...

I think having a variable that is you...

is the only thing I can do.

So do whatever you want.

You're going to lose anyway.

These are all the stocks, money, and real estate I kept...

under someone else's name.

I'll give you my life.

And I will never betray you.

Just let me stay beside you...

when you leave.

- Shall we go with webfoot octopus? - Yes, probably.

I thought we would have sashimi today.

We could've had it if it were the beginning of the month.

- Let's have webfoot octopus. - At Soon's?

- Okay. - Webfoot octopus and pork belly?

- Okay. - With udon noodles?

- That's enough. - Oh, my. You guys worked hard.

Let's go.

My gosh.

Hold on.

(One unread message)

I'm sorry, but I don't think I can join you for dinner.

You can't do this all of a sudden.

Don't worry and pay with this.

Enjoy your dinner.

- Okay. - Are you really leaving?

You should be sober when you come to work tomorrow.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Tuna? - Tuna.

Okay. Let's go.

I'll do it.

What Chief Lee said was all recorded.

We got circumstantial evidence that he was trying to bury the CCTV footage.

We even have dash cam footage.

There are enough reasons for reinvestigation.

Even if In Tae Jun denies the charge, he will stand trial.

You stay still. I'll do it.

And then?

After realizing that not everyone who committed a crime isn't punished,

- what are you going to do? - Shut up, you jerk!

You should shut your darn mouth.

It's not the time to think about that.

Is your heart a food delivery box or what?

Even those dirty jerks show what's inside.

Whether we can accuse him or not,

what are you to hide your feelings like that?

Do I have to see the guy who is working for me die from heartache?

Just die then!

You're a freak.

What I have...

is a mere fact that Director In's car...

ran on the lake road.

We can't accuse him as much as we want with that.

But it's not right.

If one commits a crime, they should pay the price.

It's In Tae Jun who trampled...

on my father who had nothing left.

It's those guys at the NTS.

They should pay the price.

The reason why I'm telling my story to you...

is because I want someone who knows that the power this organization has...

can take away someone's life...

to change the organization.

That's why I want to use the Sancho Bank case...

as the last opportunity to persuade you.

Of course, it might not work.

But I hope you can stay as a person like that.

"I'm nothing."

A person who doesn't get swayed by the doubt like this.

(The headquarters of Sancho Bank)

(Sancho Bank)

August 17.

There are two Chul Soos I got today.

Do you know why it's Chul Soo?

It's just how we call it.

(Sancho Bank, Songcheon Branch, Sales Department)

They said we must call it Chul Soo.

Because if we call it a different name,

it feels like it makes what we're doing too clear.

Chul Soo, the meaningless name,

as it's everywhere and anytime.

I also think it's a perfect name.

"Chul Soo"?

September 13.

When I please them just a little, Chul Soo trusts me no matter what.

Today, I remembered the first day when I was introduced to Chul Soo.

I wanted to be nice to them, but thinking back,

fifteen Chul Soos died at my hands.

Can I go back to the time when none of that happened?

No. I don't think I can do that.

(The headquarters of Sancho Bank, Loan Evaluation Department)

(On vacation)

(Business Loan Evaluation Department, Financial Clearing Department)

Han Kyung Mo, this jerk.

We called all the members who promoted Gold Cash...

and to reinvestigate them.

It's like what we expected.

They keep saying that they had good intentions and didn't know they were bad.

You know that I pushed ahead with this...

just because you said PQ was the supplier of funds, right?

You're rushing me so much.

I made a dispatch request a long time ago, but I heard nothing.

The higher-ups keep telling me to cover it up.

I can only hold my ground for 2 to 3 weeks at the longest.

Moreover,

there are other reasons why you should hurry up.

I got a tip-off.

I don't know who it is. I checked it, and it turned out to be a pay phone.

You're prosecutor Kim Young Tae, aren't you?

The one who is reinvestigating the Gold Cash case.

Yes, I am.

How far did you know when you started it?

- Sorry? - I don't think you started it...

just to catch some mere loan brokers.

I think you know something.

It sounds like there's something else I should know.

If I tell you about that, can you start?

I'll try.

Can you even finish it once you start?

I'll get back to you later.

(Fair collection of taxes is an act of love.)

(Investigation Termination Report)

There's a company that helped these loaners' businesses.

Sancho Bank.

We think PG, the supplier that provides Gold Cash with funds,

is behind Sancho Bank.

Are you saying they're connected?

Don't you think we need to investigate them?

Hello.

- Come here. - Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you. - Hello.

But violation of the Banking Act or Financial Industry Act...

is not what we can discuss.

It's what Prosecutors' Office or Financial Supervisory Service should do.

If we transfer the case to the Prosecutors' Office...

so that we can trace the flow of the fund,

we might be able to obtain the authority we didn't have.

I need your agreement...

for the investigation of this case.

(Min So Jung)

I heard Si Yeon arrived at the airport in the afternoon.

You haven't seen your daughter for a year. You should have dinner with her.

I'm busy attending the chairman.

I'm sorry. I'll be late.

Even if you silenced all the clerks...

who worked for Gold Cash,

there's still a problem. It's In Tae Jun.

They will try to launch an investigation team no matter what.

(Heo Jong Soo, the deputy chairman of Sancho Bank, Ms. Min's husband)

About that, I think I need to ask for help from my wife.

Well...

No. If she...

gets to know what happened in the past, can you take responsibility?

What more can I do?

You should help your best friend.

He's the only one who has In Tae Jun's Achilles' heel in his hand.

Do you mean Jaesong Construction?

When they accepted a "commoner" they looked down on...

as a son-in-law, they must've had a plan.

"You'll do all the dirty work."

They're over now,

so there would be no reason to cover up what happened in the past.

If you pay the appropriate price,

they will give you a card that can attack In Tae Jun.

Can you see the picture?

But Jaesong has a problem with accounting transparency.

If you take a risk, there'll be a benefit in return from me.

Okay.

(Wife)

I'm here.

(Seo Young Jae, the chairman of Jaesong Construction, In Tae Jun's brother-in-law)

What were you talking about in secret?

Well... Something fun.

What's fun is money.

I'm sorry. It just happened to be that way.

Yes. I talked with Si Yeon.

So don't worry too much.

(Ryu Yong Sin)

Eat something nice with her.

I'll go home once it's done.

Yes.

Okay.

(Recents)

(Block this Caller)

(Block Contact)

(Min So Jung)

Ms. Min, is there anything wrong?

No.

I hope not.

How did you know this place?

I got worried as I heard you had extended your holiday.

Did you come to threaten me?

Let's go inside and talk.

If you hear it here, you might lose your composure.

I heard your father worked...

as a chauffeur of the chairman for a long time.

It got me surprised.

Who would've imagined that Han Kyung Mo who acted like he had his own beliefs...

joined the company using a dirty trick like this?

Gosh. That's cool.

It can be not a big deal.

Recruitment corruption is the most sensitive issue.

And I heard your sibling is studying for a civil service examination.

He's your only family left. You should protect him as an older brother.

I understand what you mean.

Will you testify as you promised?

Even if they reinvestigate the case, nothing will change.

If no one betrays me, they will find nothing.

I guarantee you.

But sir.

How are you related to Gold Cash...

that you're even threatening me?

It's for pocket money. I'm just like you guys.

It's for pocket money. I'm just like you guys.

Put it down. You piece of trash.

You jerk.

Just reveal everything!

You were worried about how you can silence me,

but you're so excited that I turned out to be a bad guy.

But do you think I'll be afraid of people pointing fingers at me?

Right. I didn't live a good life.

And I would've not thought of spilling the tea if it was just about a loaner.

But the problem is that's only a part of what we did.

The thing you made me do. Who gave you the order?

Do you even know?

That...

That someone will die because of what we did.

I knew it was you. You posted the journal.

Do you even understand what I'm saying?

Both you and I...

are murderers!

You jerk, get it together!

You can't blame me. Did you not know when you started it?

You're already an accomplice.

Try it. I can't stand this anymore. Go as far as you can go.

Let's just die together.

I'm not afraid of anything.

Stop right there!

Hey.

Darn it.

Hey.

(NTS Joongang Regional Office)

As you might know, the Prosecutors' Office...

started an investigation on the corruption between Sancho Bank and Gold Cash...

based on our report.

Bureau Five will cooperate with the investigation.

You're all capable officials,

so I hope you can get a good result.

I want to hear Mr. Hwang's opinion.

How big do you think the dispatch team should be?

All the clerks who worked for them are denying the accusations.

The first thing we should do is to find their accounts under someone else's name.

That's too broad. So I think we need at least two teams.

That's a quite burdensome number.

Didn't the Prosecutors' Office ask the same thing?

I mean... Mr. Hwang.

You always did the things others told you not to,

but you want to listen to them for a thing like this.

It's for six consecutive years.

That Bureau Five had the lowest performance.

You're saying it like...

you're not part of it.

I'm just saying that we should admit that the quality of our performance is low.

Working with less capable people,

I need a lot of people to work with at least.

But your determination for work,

even if it means you did all those senseless things,

kind of made me weak-hearted.

Despite the loss, I'll give you big support.

To the Prosecutors' Office,

(Central District Prosecutors' Office)

I'll report that it's two. Done.

The meeting is over.

Two?

Two people, not two teams?

Why? It looks like you have something to say.

No. I expected it.

They say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of care.

You should've remembered this saying, not that.

"If you're determined to live, you'll die."

Don't think of doing anything there.

Just think of how you will lower your head to them to survive, Mr. Hwang.

And it's a pound of "cure".

"Cure".

What a jerk.

Does this make sense?

We asked for 2 teams and he wrote 2 people.

It actually makes more sense than you think.

For the past few years,

all we did was doing that didn't make sense.

I think you all forgot because things have been nice for the past few months.

This is just a process of getting back to where we were.

It's very natural.

Don't get caught up in the situation. We have lots of work to do.

We're worried because we know we have lots of work to do.

I got a tip-off.

Can you even finish it once you start?

I'll get back to you later.

It's a call the Prosecutors' Office received three days ago.

We reported the clerks of Sancho Bank to the prosecutors...

not because to catch the tail,

but because to catch someone higher.

As we can't end the case if we can't reveal the whole story.

But this guy is saying that Sancho Bank...

has something other than Gold Cash.

The informant...

got the clues of everything.

But we should hurry.

It's true that he made a big decision to call them,

but he's doubting their ability to carry on the investigation.

If he thinks something is suspicious just a little,

he might run away immediately.

Considering he used a direct line,

it seems he has met the prosecutor.

He knows his number as he received his business card.

I feel like he checked who has the keys of the investigation himself...

before calling him.

Doesn't it mean the informant...

was engaged in the Gold Cash business too?

The police investigated the case for a much longer time,

but he didn't say anything.

If his decision to confess was sudden,

something might've happened before that.

Something that changed his mind.

The police started the investigation on October 2.

The three of you should check if there's any suspicious change...

in the property of his family and relatives with PCI.

Let's check the employee data and the investigation record of the prosecutors.

Get in the car.

- Hello. - We're in trouble.

You should come right now.

(Central District Prosecutors' Office)

(Investigation Briefing: Corruption Accusations on Cold Cash and Sancho Bank)

On the seventh, with the confession of Lee,

who was working at the headquarters,

the shot caller who ordered the clerks of Sancho Bank...

to promote Gold Cash was identified.

On the eighth,

when we were looking for the suspect's hidden accounts and witnesses,

he didn't go to work.

We searched his house with the family's agreement.

We found bloodstains in his house.

The DNA test results show that...

it's the suspect's blood mixed with someone else's.

These are the places the suspect visited in the early morning that day.

He left his studio...

to withdraw all the money in his account.

We confirmed that he had taken Gangseo Highway to go to Jinsung.

But we don't know his whereabouts after that.

Judging from what he did, he ran away.

His motives will be revealed later,

but we should assume that it has to do with the owner of the blood.

Would it be an assault?

Considering he even ran away,

it could be manslaughter.

We can assume that he committed a violent crime.

Okay. Then how will you find the owner of the other blood?

The suspect knew that he was accused of being the shot caller.

He was recently subject to an inspection for granting a special loan...

in return for 16 million won,

which was emotional pressure on him, according to people around him.

We can assume that he might've tried...

to get away with these two incidents.

Until we find out other indications that go against our assumption,

we will investigate the people around him first.

As you heard,

the corruption between Sancho Bank and Gold Cash...

isn't our interest anymore.

We'll work on a violent crime now.

Find the owner of the bloodstains quickly.

All the available officials must focus on finding the suspect.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

This person is the shot caller of Gold Cash?

Han Kyung Mo?

Prosecutor Kim.

If he gave the order,

don't we need evidence like the authority he had,

or his personality traits?

Nothing matches here.

And the most important thing is missing.

None of the work he did...

is related to PQ.

Was there evidence that the cash had flowed...

from PQ to Gold Cash?

No, not yet.

That's the problem.

To make a dangerous claim that a conglomerate gave private loans,

we need clear evidence.

Before we find it, we can't say anything about PQ.

All the related people are claiming that he's the shot caller.

If he disappears without a trace like this,

the Gold Cash case will be buried.

Security cameras.

Hello.

I'm sorry, sir.

It's so hard to meet you.

You still showed up even if you know it's rude.

Sit.

Oh, right. How are you feeling?

Did you clear up the misunderstanding with Mr. Ryu Do Hyung?

It was crazy back then.

Thanks to you.

Sometimes, I think about this.

Why do people like to take a risk?

If they take a risk, they want to take a challenge.

If they take a challenge, they want to overcome their limits.

If they don't know their limits,

they don't know their place.

But the problem is...

that they don't know they'll become a candlelight if they keep going.

Swaying in the wind,

the candlelight can be blown out by the wind.

Do you really think...

you can afford to be this arrogant right now?

Internally, many are expressing frustration and angst at the moment.

You see, everyone was counting on you thinking you were a sharp blade.

But the chiefs who were supporting you have been ousted,

so if even just one more weakness of the Joongang Office...

comes to the surface,

everyone will soon find out that you're in fact nothing...

but a paper tiger.

Gosh.

I didn't know that you came to take me down.

Is that why you jumped into Min So Jung's skirt without hesitation?

You saved thousands of billions of won...

of corporate tax thanks to me.

Even a five-year-old knows...

that one should never forget such kindness.

Should I bring you back some memories?

You failed at a presidential election...

and lost everything.

How do you think you came this far if it weren't for us?

I think the conclusion is already made.

Can I ask a favor as I'll be kicked out?

To me, the candlelight in the wind?

Shut your mouth.

I'm done playing with you.

I've dealt with many clueless brats like you who think that money...

will help them get away with anything.

PQ's number three? You think conglomerates are invincible?

Don't be ridiculous.

After all, you're just an illegitimate child.

How much longer do you think you can really hold out?

They're certainly over now.

It happened in the end.

I'll provide you with everything you want.

In Tae Jun.

Let's catch him now, Chief Cho.

- Excuse me? - He moved to please the government,

and manipulated so many things.

This is our only chance to attack him.

Do you think it's possible?

He's In Tae Jun.

- Just because he's down with PQ... - What if you do it?

What if you, the chief of Bureau One, are in charge of this case?

Will it be okay?

If you attack him from behind like this, he can't just stay still.

He will try to dig up a scandal about Sancho Bank.

Are you sure it'll be okay?

With you, not me.

You'd better remember this moment.

The moment you dared to call me a dull blade.
