[Target has been taken care of.]

[Episode 12]

Chief Prosecutor Nam Jung Yeon of the Dongbu district has been shot.

He was found dead on the scene.

The suspect of the case, Mister Kang, was released from prison five days ago.

Police stated they would be tracing his movements for the past five days.

Police investigation revealed that 30 minutes before the incident

Kang alluded to his actions on an internet website.

There was a photo of him with the gun used for the crime

as well as a post that read, "My revenge will end today."

Kang, who was also guilty of murdering a Seongsu-dong couple 20 years ago,

was known to have a grudge against Prosecutor Park Moon Ki.

He is the current deputy chief prosecutor and the prosecutor who was on his case.

Statements confirming this fact were obtained.

Police believe that Kang may have shot the wrong person.

The investigation will proceed in this manner.

We believed that Jang Tae Joon joined forces with Nam Jung Yeon

in order to get rid of Park Moon Ki.

But, the person who was really taken out was...

Nam Jung Yeon.

Do you agree with the news?

That they shot Nam Jung Yeon when the real target was Park Moon Ki?

No.

I don't know about the first shot.

But, the second was definitely for Nam Jung Yeon.

Nam Sunbae left without knowing you worked for me until the very end.

He was not so smart considering how greedy he was.

He had sweet dreams until the moment he died.

That's not the kind of luck that just anyone can have.

Don't you agree?

I can just put my name down

as Chief Prosecutor of Seoul Central District now.

Once that happens,

the Elder will not be able to take me so lightly.

Just one more thing.

There is one thing that's bothering me.

I'm not sure if I'm right about this or not.

Please go on.

Chief Jang, you know Sergeant Yoo Shi Hyun, don't you?

When I saw her earlier,

the way Shi Hyun was looking at me was not normal.

Is that you, Shi Hyun?

What brings you here?

I feel like she knows something.

Even if that is true, she can't do anything without evidence.

I wonder if it that will be enough.

They do say that a good offense is the best defense.

I think we should get rid of her before we get beaten.

A rash attack that we are unprepared for

will only give them an opening.

You're saying you have another way?

Well, then.

You have my trust, Chief Jang.

What is X's purpose?

Why did he get rid of Nam Jung Yeon instead of Park Moon Ki?

There's a good chance that from the very beginning

Jang Tae Joon was allied with Park Moon Ki, not Nam Jung Yeon.

Park Moon Ki can never know that you are working for me.

He will find out at the last moment.

Like Nam Jung Yeon,

he will realize that he is only a pawn being used and tossed away.

Park Moon Ki is a much more difficult person than Nam Jung Yeon.

Keep a close eye on him.

I will do that.

I think the Elder will reach out to Park Moon Ki soon.

Now, Park Moon Ki will most definitely get access to the Elder.

The Elder and all his limbs...

We have to kill them all at once.

I will make sure we do not fail.

Please do that.

Chief Moon's team will dig into Park Moon Ki.

Sergeant Yoo is your younger sister.

There is a limit to how we deal with her.

What is it that you want to say?

Until we find out who the Elder really is,

we need to protect Park Moon Ki.

Of course, I trust you, Prosecutor Yoo.

However, you cannot see everything either.

There are your sister and Detective Kang and Chief Moon on top of that.

They are not people to mess with.

Little by little, they are making headway and catching up to us.

- If we don't make a move first— - Chief Jang.

Have I ever

been wrong about anything?

Chief Jang.

Did you see something?

You must go to Nam Jung Yeon's office now.

We should give the information we have to the team on Nam Jung Yeon's case.

We need to confirm Jang Tae Joon and Park Moon Ki's relationship.

No, no. Wait.

Let's think about this objectively.

What information do we have?

Everything we have is circumstantial.

The only physical evidence we have

is a USB with audio that's over 20 years old.

Using that to go after a prosecutor and a highly ranked policeman

is impossible.

It's true that Prosecutor Min investigated the Go Pil Kyu case. Why?

Because it was I who ordered her to investigate the Go Pil Kyu case.

Nam Jung Yeon told me this.

He told Ji Soo to investigate the Go Pil Kyu case.

The Go Pil Kyu case that Ji Soo was investigating

was not a mere drug dealer case but one involving a highly-ranked prosecutor.

Who is this highly-ranked prosecutor Ji Soo was investigating?

I don't know.

You say you ordered her to investigate. What was the reason?

Nam Jung Yeon didn't tell me who they were investigating.

But, seeing the situation now, I think that highly ranked prosecutor...

was Park Moon Ki.

There is something more to Ji Soo's investigation.

Whatever Ji Soo was investigating, I'm sure Nam Jung Yeon has it.

We need to look through Nam Jung Yeon's office.

Sounds good. We'll request a warrant tomorrow.

Tomorrow is too late. We need to move now.

You want to search a prosecutor's office without a warrant?

Fruit of the poisonous tree.

Evidence gained unlawfully is not valid.

Chief Moon.

Nam Jung Yeon is the victim of a sniper shooting.

Park Moon Ki was not the target.

I'm trying to focus our investigation on the right person.

[Seoul Dongbu Prosecutor's Office]

Chief Jang.

[Prosecutor Min Ji Soo]

[Annual Report]

[Bank of Korea: Yoon Sung Soo]

You're here.

What is the chief of Internal Affairs doing here?

There was a tip that a policeman was involved in the crime.

That's why...

I'm here to see how there could be a connection to Prosecutor Nam.

For an unconfirmed tip,

you sure brought a lot of people with you.

It is a big case.

I determined that it would be better to have too many people than not enough.

We're finished.

I'll be going now.

What?

Are you going to use your strength to take this evidence from me?

I could do that if I need to.

Move.

Detective Kang.

Ji Soo didn't get caught up with Seo Bo Hyun by coincidence and die.

Ji Soo was investigating Park Moon Ki and getting too deep.

You felt threatened by it and killed her, didn't you?

Answer me. Answer me!

What do you think you're doing?

It's very fun watching all of you.

You think you can do anything with those drawings?

You analyze them and run around.

The thing with fate is that

no matter how much you all try, you are all in the palm of my hand.

- Let's go. - Yes, Chief.

Wait.

How long have you been here?

I think it was within ten minutes of our arrival.

So?

The distance between us is only that much.

Do you think you can escape in time the next time?

I told you before.

I will make you pay for killing Ji Soo.

There's not much time left now, so look forward to it.

We came all the way here, but it was no use.

It wasn't completely useless.

We have a new lead to follow.

[Bank of Korea: Yoon Sung Soo]

I don't see Sergeant Yoo.

She's probably going through a hard time.

She confirmed an uncomfortable truth.

An uncomfortable truth?

We decided to come here only 30 minutes ago.

If X knew that we were already coming,

Sergeant Yoo has to acknowledge the truth.

X's capabilities are much stronger than hers.

Shi Hyun.

What happened? You didn't get your phone.

Sorry, I've been busy because of Prosecutor Nam Jung Yeon's case.

Is something wrong?

Do you think I can win?

X is much more powerful than me.

Even tonight,

Chief Jang Tae Joon was in Nam Jung Yeon's office

before we got there.

That was probably due to X's powers.

What is it?

Shi Hyun.

Do you want to just leave Park Moon Ki for me to handle?

Also,

can't you just quit your job?

Can't you just forget everything and live a normal life?

What?

Just...

Meet a good person and date like other girls your age.

Go eat at yummy restaurants and take pictures.

How about you live an ordinary life like that?

I would like it if you lived like that.

Dad and Mom are dead.

That culprit is in my vicinity.

He isn't just anyone.

He deceived us for 20 years.

And you want me to just forget it?

Sorry, that was silly of me.

How could I overcome your stubbornness?

Shi Joon, by any chance...

Tell me truth.

Do you know something that I don't?

Do you think I would hide something from you?

You wouldn't, right? You are my brother.

You wouldn't lie or hide anything from me.

- Right? - Of course, not.

I'm so glad that you're my brother.

Let's go.

Chief Jang, you completed another great task.

If other people got their hands on this file

it would've been trouble for me.

I only did my job.

Chief Jang.

Can I ask you something?

Go on.

Honestly, when it comes to you...

I still don't know what it is that you want from me.

What do you mean by that?

There is nothing free in the world.

That is a fact of this world.

Now that I think about it,

you have never even asked me for a meal.

I told you long ago,

I am not a person with a lot of ambition.

Just do not forget me once you get to a higher position.

If you take me along with you, that is enough for me.

Right?

Our Chief Jang is not a greedy, ambitious man.

I am lucky when it comes to people.

You know very well that you're the only person I trust, right?

I trust you, Chief Jang.

[Chunsan Law Firm ]

Oh, you can keep working.

Please go on in.

I'm not asking to take it off. I'm asking you to delay it.

I am being considerate of you.

Should I talk to the Director of Tax Services instead of you?

I have a guest, so I can't talk long.

Think about it and call me.

Deputy Chief Prosecutor Park, it's been a long time.

Or should I call you Chief Prosecutor of Seoul now?

It hasn't even been announced yet, so I feel a bit embarrassed.

Still, it's not bad to hear.

When I first met you

you were a young prosecutor with nothing but vigor.

Honestly, I never expected you to make it this far.

My error in judgment must feel very good to you.

But...

Is it still too much to want a one-on-one meeting with the Elder?

I feel that I've earned that now.

You are Seoul's Chief Prosecutor, so of course, you've earned that.

In fact, the Elder mentioned it.

The Elder did?

Soon, there will be a gathering to decide on a cold sell.

We were told to bring you to there.

Cold sell.

The Elder operates on a different scale.

I never imagined he would do that.

The Elder sees a different world than people like us.

So, I will see you again soon.

Ah, yes.

By the way...

Is Manager Choi busy these days?

Why do you ask about him?

I wanted to ask a personal favor.

If it's all right with you, I'd like to use him for a few days.

I thought you had someone else who worked for you on such matters.

That is why I am asking.

I will be serving the Elder now.

I should make sure the people around me are in order.

I understand.

We are like family now, so I should help you when I can.

I will tell Manager Choi to contact you.

Thank you very much.

Prosecutor Park.

Please keep this one thing in mind.

The Elder does not like those who make mistakes.

I have no connections.

I have no lines.

I have no ties.

Yet, do you know how I got here?

I got here because I made no mistakes.

Good morning.

The shooting case is a mess and the witness, Kang Do Shik, is dead.

The evidence Ji Soo left is in Jang Tae Joon's hands.

Yes, it is a good morning.

Stop it.

Stop what?

All right, I'm sorry. Are you satisfied?

- Sorry for what? - Geez.

For leaving yesterday without a word.

I'm feeling bad about it already.

You know how to feel bad. I'm surprised.

What should I do, huh?

Should I get on my knees and beg?

What's worse than trying to perfect

is trying to be perfect when you don't have the ability.

Don't make things harder for people around you because of your guilt.

We already have enough to worry about.

I don't have time...

to worry about your feelings.

What's wrong?

I think it's starting again.

[Chief Jang Tae Joon]

Do you realize this is the second time you haven't picked up my call?

What is this?

I asked you what this is.

I drink a little when I can't sleep.

It's nothing.

You say it's nothing?

This one bottle could destroy you.

And it could destroy all of our work to come.

Yet, you still say it's nothing?

Many people try to change the world.

However, most of them

lose their conviction and end up being changed by the world.

Still...

There are those who never change.

The world kicks them down and people laugh at them.

There are those fools who never lose their conviction.

But, do you know what happens in the end?

Those fools who do not let the world change them

end up changing the world.

What you need is conviction.

Conviction so strong that it will never waver or break in any situation.

I expected that from you,

not someone lying here like an alcoholic.

I always...

I always have the same dream.

In my dream...

I am always on the way home.

No matter how fast I run, I am always too late.

I will never...

be able to make it home on time.

Not in the future, not ever.

I don't want to hear...

your excuses.

L-DOPA, also known as levodopa.

"Levodopa contains dopamine amino acids that are used to treat Parkinson's."

"It causes secretion of dopamine and helps to bind the dopamine."

"It aids with endotrophic depletion common in Parkinson's."

That's what it says.

Why is it so long?

Gosh, what does that mean?

How would I know?

Neither of us know anything about medical stuff.

So, this is used to treat Parkinson's disease?

Yes, that's what this says, so I guess so.

Everyone, come here.

- Okay. - Is she done?

Have you been well, Manager Choi?

Look at this.

I spent a lot of money on this security system.

I guess it's no use with you, Manager Choi.

I heard you asked for me.

Has it been about six months since I last saw you?

I heard the manager from the Bank of Korea is still in a coma.

I see that you're still a man of few words.

I'll get straight to the point then.

His name is Jang Tae Joon.

He's the Chief of Internal Affairs.

He's working for me and helping me out.

What is it that you want?

This man

is helping me out,

but there's something suspicious about it.

Was there something in particular that bothered you?

There is one fact that I trust in life.

Nothing is free.

But, this man continues to give me free food.

I need to know if I can keep eating it or if it will make me sick.

I'd like it if you'd look into it for me, Manager Choi.

Did anything useful come up in the sketches?

Is something wrong?

The sketch...

What is it, seriously?

It's the fifth sketch.

That's a funeral.

One of us, not you, will die.

I can't tolerate much, since I haven't been drinking.

I never could drink much.

You had half a bottle of liquor all at once.

No one could handle that.

Are you okay?

Don't worry.

I got rid of it all before the alcohol spread through my body.

A poet said this.

Everyone is sick with disease, but no one says they are in pain.

That's what the world is like now.

In order to remain sane in this crazy world,

you need to be drunk on something.

I will not touch alcohol again.

I'm sorry.

All you did was give me a choice.

Choosing to do this work

was my choice.

No.

I did something to you that I shouldn't have done.

I'm sorry.

I think it's the alcohol. I've said too much.

Are you really all right?

What are you doing up here?

You were fine even when you drew your own death.

I'd rather draw a sketch of my own death again.

Rather than face a colleague's death, you want to die instead.

I think you're mistaken about something, Sergeant Yoo.

We're not here to help you, Sergeant Yoo.

We are all doing this job of our own free will.

Suppose something bad happens to us while we do our jobs.

If you think you have to take responsibility for all of that

you are insulting everyone on the team.

You understand what I'm saying, right?

Are you okay?

No, I don't really think I am.

One of us could die.

Honestly...

I'm scared.

You're going to be in the office, Lieutenant Oh.

You won't be in danger.

You know better than anyone, Chief Moon,

that the location is not important for Shi Hyun's sketches.

Lieutenant Oh.

I'm sorry.

I just don't think I can focus, so I'm going to go get some air.

Honestly, I don't know why any of this matters at all.

I really don't know.

Even if we catch Park Moon Ki and the Elder

nothing will change.

My parents won't come back to life.

But, now

one of our team members could die.

The work that I'm doing now...

Is it so important that I should continue it while losing someone I care about?

I really don't know.

Then let it go.

You don't have to force yourself to carry the burden.

Just let it all go.

It won't be so bad to live a normal life like other people.

If I leave too, what will you do, Detective Kang?

I'm sure I'll figure it out.

You'll figure it out?

Catching the person who killed Ji Soo is important to me.

Deciding what's important to you is a decision you need to make.

It's just a matter of time before you figure out what's important to you.

It may be hard, but don't lose focus.

For now, I want to go see this Yoon Sung Soo from the business card.

I need to meet him.

It would be best to go with Sergeant Yoo.

I don't think we have time to wait for her to feel up to it.

Be extra careful since that kind of sketch came out.

All right.

Where are you going?

I've been calling this guy, but his phone is turned off.

- Do you want to go too? - Yes.

I guess you haven't fallen apart yet.

Why would I fall apart?

I'll start the car, so hurry.

Well, then.

[Jang Tae Yeon]

Would Tae Yeon forgive me?

It wasn't just your fault, Chief Jang.

These names here

are the sins that belong to both of us.

Chief Jang, it's been hard for you all this time.

I know that.

You will have to walk a harder and more brutal path.

However, it is our duty to walk this path.

We don't have the leeway to make a choice.

Do not get weak.

I know that.

[Jang Tae Yeon]

How is Park Moon Ki?

It seems he met Jo Mi Sook at Chunsan Law Firm.

Soon, he may meet the Elder.

Until their meeting has been confirmed

Park Moon Ki can never catch wind of our plan.

If Park Moon Ki get suspicious at all

everything we have done will be all for nothing.

I understand that.

[Bank of Korea]

- You're looking for Manager Yoon? - Yes.

Can we meet him for a moment?

What brings you here?

We're with the police.

The police?

I heard Manager Yoon's case was closed after that accident.

Accident? What do you mean?

You must not know. Manager Yoon is in the hospital.

Name, Yoon Sung Soo.

Bank of Korea, Research Team Manager.

Six months ago,

he was charged with taking bribes and leaking info about foreign currency.

Why would someone like that suddenly be in the hospital?

There was an accident before the warrant was executed.

I guess it should be considered an incident.

An attempted suicide.

It says that he tried to commit suicide from the roof of an 18 story building.

Perhaps, the heavens helped. There were trees under the building.

They broke his fall.

He didn't break anything, but he hurt his head.

What was his motive for suicide?

The police determined that he couldn't stand the pressure of the investigation.

Is there anything else that stands out besides that?

Just one thing.

Here's something that's shady.

The person in charge of the case...

was Prosecutor Park Moon Ki.

That's all that I can report to you.

- Okay. - Lieutenant Oh.

Yes?

Thank you.

Yeah.

Work hard. See you later.

Yes, this is Oh Young Shim.

Yes, that's my mom.

What?

The hospital?

Yes, where is that?

[Yoon Sung Soo: Former Bank Of Korea Manager]

He's been in a coma for six months, commonly known as a vegetative state.

Is there a chance he might wake up?

His vitals are stable.

His nervous system and brain waves are normal.

However, it's been six months and there's been no change.

I would have to say there's only a small chance of him waking up.

By any chance,

do you know this medicine, levodopa?

Someone who has Parkinson's, has symptoms due to lack of dopamine.

Levodopa is used to help create dopamine.

Doctor, is there any connection between a coma patient and levodopa?

As I told you, levodopa is for Parkinson's.

It has nothing to do with a coma patient.

Did you find anything?

Nothing particularly suspicious.

There was one person he met with after making sure he wasn't followed.

He was a prosecutor for the central district.

His name is Yoo Shi Joon.

What?

Jang Tae Joon was meeting with Shi Joon?

Do you know him?

I do. I know him well.

He has a deep connection to you, as well.

What do you mean by that?

Yoo Shi Joon

is the son of Yoo Jin Kyu, who you got rid of 20 years ago.

Yoo Jin Kyu's son

has a relationship with the person who is helping me out

right at the time when I'm about to be next to the Elder?

Find out what their relationship is and why they are meeting.

From one to ten.

No matter how small the matter, you cannot miss anything.

I understand.

Jang Tae Joon.

Yoo Shi Joon.

You punks, what are you up to?

Oh Young Shim, your mother was in a car accident.

Mom.

Yes, Young Shim.

There is something going on with Yoon Sung Soo for sure.

His business card came from Ji Soo's investigation files.

That means he had contact with Ji Soo.

Why was Ji Soo investigating Park Moon Ki?

Also, what kind of lead did she get that Jang Tae Joon rushed to get rid of it?

That's what we need to know.

Never mind. What's the point in saying this now?

Forget about Yoon Sung Soo.

You heard it too. He's been in a coma for six months.

A person who's been that way for half a year won't suddenly get up in three days.

Rather than expect a miracle here, let's look for more leads.

Are you going now?

Yes, if by any chance

there are any changes with him, please contact us.

Yes, I will.

Oh yeah, about levodopa.

I searched and there was a paper written in 2014 in France.

It said that levodopa was used to wake a patient from a coma.

Levodopa was used to treat a coma patient?

No, the case in the paper was purely just an experimental case.

If it was an experimental case, are there any known side effects?

There weren't any side effects mentioned.

All I can tell you for certain is...

levodopa is used for Parkinson's, not for coma patients.

Statistically, the chances of him waking up aren't even 10,000 to 1.

Even if were lucky and woke up

we don't know what state he'd be in or what side effects there could be.

It's not like I broke a bone.

It's just a small fracture. Why did you bring me here?

It's such a burden.

Your daughter makes good money, so just eat up.

Bone soup is best for healing bones.

Rather than buying me these things, I'd like it if you got married soon.

Not that again.

You want to marry me off that quickly?

A woman should meet a good man,

then get married, and that's the best kind of happiness.

Mom, you'll get yourself in big trouble saying that these days.

You're like a woman from the Joseon Era.

Were you happy after meeting Dad?

Of course, I was happy. I was very happy.

You became a widow after two years and suffered all your life.

How is that happiness?

Still, thanks to marrying your dad, I had you, Young Shim.

Living as your mom

is the happiest thing I've done in my life.

I worked hard in life because I had you.

I lived well because I had you.

Stop saying strange things when I haven't seen you in so long.

Just eat up.

Yes, Ma'am.

Yum, it's good because my daughter's treating me.

Long ago, I was the baby.

Now, my mom is the baby.

Hold it.

Hold it a bit longer.

A bit more, a little bit.

Just a bit.

Where did you go?

Just here and there.

Tell me the truth.

What are you thinking right now, Detective Kang?

What about you? What are you thinking?

We can't do it.

Can't do what?

What it is that you're thinking.

Yeah, so what am I thinking?

Okay, okay.

Let's be honest. Levodopa is—

Didn't you hear the doctor?

There could be side effects they don't know about.

Levodopa couldn't have appeared in the sketch for no reason.

Also, isn't it much better for the patient if he wakes up?

Anyway, this isn't for us to decide.

We have no right to.

Park Moon Ki was the prosecutor on his case.

Do you think that's a coincidence?

Sergeant Yoo, don't you want to catch Park Moon Ki?

The outcome is important to me,

but the process is important to me too. I can't agree with your method.

I'm not asking for your agreement.

I don't care if you're looking for my agreement or not.

All right, fine.

What?

I said fine.

You don't listen to anyone once you get stubborn about something.

What?

Why are you letting it go so easily?

It's very suspicious.

Why are you complaining when I'm agreeing with you?

You're so twisted. What?

Let's dig around Yoon Sung Soo's acquaintances.

- We could find something. - Okay.

- Oh, wait. - What is it?

My phone.

I left my phone. Go to the car.

Detective Kang.

What are you doing?

We lost Ji Soo's files and he is all we have left.

Whatever he knows,

What do you think our chances are

of catching Chief Jang and Park Moon Ki are without him?

Detective Kang.

I don't want to lose this chance.

I'll take responsibility if anything happens to him.

How will you do that?

Well, I'll have to quit being a cop and pay for my crime.

So, you leave.

If something happens, it's enough for me to pay for it.

Do you understand?

Do it.

I drew that sketch.

If anyone takes responsibility, I have to do it.

Then I'll get started.

Shi Hyun.

What brings you all the way here?

You could have called.

I think this is the end for me.

You know, right?

My mom is alone.

If something happens to me, there's no one to take care of my mom.

She'll be alone without me.

No, actually, if something happens to me

my mom won't be able to live.

Sorry for acting strong and tough in front of you.

I must be human, after all.

I won't be able to handle it if something happens to you either.

Actually, I wanted to ask you to step back from this case,

but I don't want to say goodbye.

We'll see each other soon.

Right?

You can curse me out.

Say I'm a coward and irresponsible.

Goodness.

Why would I curse you out?

Sergeant Yoo and I

have personal reasons why we can't leave.

Why would you stick around and put your life on the line?

You're not being a coward at all.

It's a wise decision.

Thank you for everything.

Drive safely.

Detective Kang.

Take good care of

Shi Hyun.

You're in no position to worry about her.

I'll do my best though.

What do I do?

Yoon Sung Soo?

Sir, can you tell me what your name is?

Yoon...

Sung Soo.

That's my name.

[Sketch]

Yoon Sung Soo says he will tell us what he knows once we bring his son.

The patient is awake.

I've located the target.

I just saw the guitar from the sketch.

The part-time employee had it.

What?

Today, Kim Do Jin could run into Lieutenant Oh Young Shim.

If that happens...

Chief Jang, do you have anything to tell me?

You will end up telling me everything you know within one hour.

Who are you, really?
