STRANGER
As of 10 a.m. today, our office will launch
a special investigation to thoroughly investigate
the suspicions surrounding prosecutors and corruption.
I will assign it to a prosecutor who will investigate everyone fairly
regardless of their positions.
The prosecutor in charge
is Si-mok Hwang of Division Three.
Moreover,
I regret that the organization
under my leadership has been the source of a series of mishaps and scandals.
Hence, I will take responsibility
by resigning from my position.
This organization has been everything to me,
but I'm not indispensable here.
My departure from the organization should not affect you.
You must carry out your tasks thoroughly to make sure that no one questions
the results of the investigation and the trial.
You haven't even had your inauguration ceremony yet.
Do you take the post that lightly?
If you want to take responsibility, do it in your position.
If you want to apologize,
do it as the Chief Prosecutor.
Is our office where people can come and go as they wish?
Does my authority as the prosecutor in charge
begin right away?
Officially, it begins upon receiving a letter of appointment, but yes.
The job begins right away.
You'll have an office at the central district office.
Get a team together first.
SENIOR ASSISTING OFFICER KIM
I need full information on Mr. Seo's assets and properties.
I'll get a warrant issued immediately so that he can't destroy any evidence.
Anyone else?
Anyone else you want to dig up dirt on as if you've been waiting for it?
Not yet.
The Public Prosecutor General will decide when you'll be appointed officially.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Hwang. He said you're starting right away, right?
You'll be so busy.
What should I start with?
Don't do anything.
Okay.
Why are you doing this?
-Please get started. -Yes, sir.
Mr. Seo!
Do you want to die?
How dare you try to trick me?
What are you all looking at?
I can't believe the first thing he does is try to evade responsibility.
I saw them searching Dong-jae's office.
Already?
Does the Public Prosecutor General know Si-mok?
How did he get assigned to the special investigation?
There is no way he knows Si-mok.
He was probably recommended.
Mr. Lee must have given recommendations.
He wouldn't have recommended him unless he wanted to turn this place upside down.
That's why he has washed his hands of the whole thing.
"You all sort it out amongst yourselves. I'm leaving." Wasn't it so?
LIST OF REQUESTED INVESTIGATORS RECIPIENT: YONGSAN POLICE STATION
CHIEF PROSECUTOR
I regret that the organization
under my leadership has been the source of a series of mishaps and scandals.
Hence, I will take responsibility by resigning from my position.
Are you inside?
-Are you in there? -Are you inside?
Do you all have that much time on your hands?
I got that, and I packed that too.
I didn't forget anything, right?
I'm not sure what else we'll need as it's my first special investigation.
What's going on? What's he doing?
Sir!
Mr. Hwang.
What's happening now?
Yes, this is Prosecutor Si-mok Hwang's office.
Great, thank you.
Mr. Hwang, everything is ready at the central district office.
-Let's go. -Okay.
Pass me my jacket.
ASSISTANT CHIEF BYUNG-HO PARK OF DIVISION TWO
Let's do it. Get in touch with me anytime if there is anything you want to ask.
ONE NEW MESSAGE
CRIMINAL TRIAL DEPT. MIN-WOO CHOI YOU RECEIVED A GIFT
You'll be pulling all-nighters on behalf of us.
Chief Prosecutor of Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office Suddenly Resigns
Goodness.
Chief, we received a request from the prosecution.
What do they want now?
They want us to send investigators?
What?
Do they want this one too?
I know, right?
Shall I talk to her and discover what they're trying to do?
There is no need.
Tell them we'll gladly cooperate.
Okay.
Yes, sir.
You're the first one to arrive.
-You're here. -Yes.
It's okay.
Lieutenant, it's here.
Hello.
I'm Geon Jang from the investigation team at Yongsan Police Station.
-Nice to meet you all. -Let's save it for later.
Who else is coming?
Mr. Hwang.
Hello.
-Hello. -Goodness, what a surprise.
What's the matter?
It looks like everyone is here now. Let's introduce ourselves first.
I'm Si-mok Hwang.
This is Investigator Ho-seob Kim.
It's nice to meet you all.
I've been assisting Mr. Hwang for two years.
Come on. I'm giving it to you because I know how hard you work.
This is Assisting Officer Young Choi.
I'm happy to meet you all.
Mr. Se-won Yoon from Case Management at Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office.
It's nice to meet you all.
He came to my husband's company to talk, saying he's your colleague.
And he already knew about the surgery you had.
Have you been talking about that to other people?
And...
Mr. Jung-bon Kim.
Jung-bon Kim?
I worked as a legal office manager for a long time and...
Anyway, I'm honored to be here. I look forward to working with you all.
I think it's strange that I keep running into him since the trial.
It can be a coincidence, but it's too odd.
Would you be able to look into it?
They say, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."
Lieutenant Yeo-jin Han from Yongsan Police Station's investigation team.
Hello, I'll do my best to ensure a successful investigation.
Detective Geon Jang is from the same team.
Hello, everyone. I'll do my very best.
I look forward to working with you.
What's the matter?
When did "financially-sponsored prosecutor" become a common term?
As far as I remember, it was back when a businessman in Busan
reported about 100 prosecutors whom he bribed to the police.
That's right. Then how is this case different from that one?
Back then, the briber was alive.
In this case, Moo-sung Park is dead.
That's correct.
Even though the briber himself
reported about 100 prosecutors to the police,
the case closed with only one of them being advised to resign.
In our case, the person who holds the key, Moo-sung Park, is dead.
If you think this special investigation will be a waste of time,
you may leave now.
This is Dong-jae Seo, the prosecutor who helped Moo-sung Park,
who was the CEO of Sanghwa Construction at the time, get cleared of his charges
for a DUI hit-and-run in 2013.
He...
is the starting point.
Mr. Kim, what I'm saying is
Kyung-wan Park had them even when we were interrogating him that afternoon.
Those bruises. Yes.
I asked the police officers about it right away.
They said he caused a total ruckus when he was being arrested.
That's what I'm saying.
He resisted and went crazy because he didn't want to be cuffed.
How can he publicly announce that he was beaten up
by the police a day after he got those bruises himself?
-I couldn't believe it. I was speechless. -The date.
-It's obviously a lie. -The changed date.
Why did he lie about the date if he really was abused?
Mr. Seo.
I just heard that your arrest warrant has been rejected.
Yes, that's right.
Exactly.
That is a fact.
Hello?
I've been listening to what Mr. Lee was saying.
Me? I'm Prosecutor Dong-jae Seo.
I didn't get a heads-up either.
I think Prosecutor Seo went ahead and tipped them off.
He definitely should have consulted with us first.
He beat us because he was scared we might get furious and take him down with us.
He'll be doomed for good if people discover that he had her phone.
He knew that I'd say no even if he tries to negotiate.
Goodness, that scum.
Frankly, that's the only way out for us.
There's no reason for us to say no. Why are you against it?
He'll be the first one to get cuffed when the special investigation begins.
But we can't really refute his claim.
It'd be better for us if he doesn't get caught.
Lieutenant.
It's Mapo Police Station.
They were in charge of Moo-sung Park's hit-and-run case.
Okay.
DUI HIT-AND-RUN CASE REPORT
CASE REPORT
MOO-SUNG PARK, DUI HIT-AND-RUN
TRAFFIC DIVISION
Moo-sung Park used to frequent this place to entertain his guests.
Thank you.
CASE REPORT ON CHEONGDAM-DONG LOUNGE ASSAULT
His name is Tae-gyun Kim. He used to deliver cash for Moo-sung Park.
Get him!
You prick.
What should I work on?
You can prepare our statement for the press conference tomorrow.
That's what you want me to do?
Does that mean you want me to be the team's spokesman?
Mr. Hwang, the arrest warrant for Mr. Seo has been rejected.
"Since he is willing to provide explanations
for the crimes he is charged with,
it is hard to acknowledge the necessity to take him into custody."
Goodness, they always say that.
It's like they copy and paste it all the time.
This has Park's bank account history from the last four years.
Gosh. Four years.
Let's work hard.
-Okay. -Thank you.
-I'll see you all later. -Bye.
Mr. Lee.
I see all of you are working hard.
I'm Geon Jang from Yongsan Police Station.
It's nice to meet you.
Yes, of course.
I'm Yeo-jin Han.
I've heard a lot about you.
I see. I hope they were good things.
I'm Jung-bon Kim. It's an honor to meet you in person, Mr. Chief Prosecutor.
Jung-bon Kim?
The civil righter who exposed Kyung-wan Park getting abused by the police?
I wasn't expecting much,
but no one will be able to doubt the fairness of your investigation.
What a great move.
That's why you want me to be the team's spokesman.
I'll be the face of the team.
Let's go see Mr. Prosecutor General.
-Yes, sir. -Roll your sleeves back down.
See you later.
I hope the meeting goes well.
Do you and Mr. Hwang personally know each other?
Goodness, my mouth. I shouldn't have said anything.
We should get going too.
-Okay. See you. -See you later.
-See you. -See you in a little.
Bye.
KYUNG-WAN PARK
Lieutenant.
You knew about that guy, Jung-bon Kim, didn't you?
He's the one who screwed us over.
Yes, I'll leave right away, Kyung-wan.
Okay. For now, just don't say anything.
Did something happen?
That was Kyung-wan.
He's being accused of fabricating the whole story.
Do you mean the police?
My team at Yongsan Police Station?
They're basically saying that Kyung-wan is a liar.
I have to go there first.
I'm aware you're not pleased about the situation. I'm sorry.
-Well, it's... -Hey, Kyung-wan.
-I was just... What did I... -I'm leaving now.
Do you still think they screwed us over, or is it the other way around?
Why is she getting mad at me? I didn't do anything.
What did I do wrong? They started it first.
How long have you known the civil righter?
We went to middle school together.
I heard about the court dismissing the arrest warrant for Mr. Seo.
He'll get arrested if your team delivers results.
LETTER OF APPOINTMENT
Thank you, sir.
No, you should resent me.
I gave you a knife so that you can slay your colleagues.
Mr. Hwang.
Do you know why you're here now?
I don't know why it has to be me,
but I do know what I have to do.
Right. I heard you're not married yet.
What do you think of him as your future son-in-law? Isn't he so reliable?
Do you not love his job?
Most people think that the words,
"prosecutor" and "doctor," share the same Chinese character.
The character in "doctor" means "teacher,"
and the one in "attorney" means "scholar."
However, the one in "prosecutor" means "work."
It made me wonder if we prosecutors are thought to be inhumane,
but I heard that the character for "work" embodies a person holding a flag high.
That's what we ought to strive for, Mr. Hwang.
Someone who shows the way forward.
Someone who can lead others by example.
Show everyone that is how we actually are.
Yes, sir.
LETTER OF RESIGNATION
This won't solve anything.
I apologize, sir.
All right. Get started.
I wanted to get you set up before I leave.
I see.
Let's have dinner together.
I can't, sir. I need to get back.
No one will be there. All of them must've left by now.
Pardon me?
It's just one meal. Relax.
Thank you.
I guess it's a small team.
Not having too many people on the team must be better for teamwork.
Yes, it is.
I've never seen a female homicide detective before.
How are you liking it? Are they good to you?
There's no reason for them to give me special treatment.
They treat me the same.
I see. Good for you.
That must be them.
-I guess the traffic wasn't bad. -No.
I'm Si-mok Hwang.
Gosh.
You look much more handsome in person. You look very young too. Aren't I right?
Please have a seat.
You too, honey.
I bought our flight tickets.
Let's go see Soo-jung as soon as you finish tying up loose ends.
She won't even be happy to see us.
She's no longer our little girl.
Are you all married?
What about children? Do all of you have children?
I have a three-year-old.
It's a boy.
That's when children are at their cutest. Spend as much time as possible with him.
Yes. He's so adorable,
but I can't go home often.
It must be because of the investigation.
It looks like you've already started working on it.
No, not yet.
What about you, Mr. Hwang? Are you seeing anyone?
Pardon me?
I guess you're not.
Shall I set you up with someone? I know many pretty ladies.
-Are you okay with that? -Pardon?
I like pretty women too.
What do you mean by that?
They say that women are their own worst enemies.
Women who agree with that saying must have been
treating other women as their enemies, don't you think?
Is it you, Dad?
You're home.
They're Chang-jun's colleagues. We wanted to have dinner with them.
Hello.
You're more handsome in person than on television.
All right. This looks like The Last Supper .
-Sir, please join us... -Hey.
Well...
We'll get going.
We're not done here.
It looks like everyone is done.
Apologies for the trouble.
If you know that,
-how can you be this rude to... -It's okay.
Goodbye.
Chuck everything in the garbage.
He's like that. Just ignore it.
There's only a thin line between a prosecutor and a chief prosecutor.
It wasn't a total waste of time though.
Now, I know that team is nothing special.
I did eat some food, but I can't really say that I had dinner.
How about we go for some drinks and something warm?
-That sounds great. -I'll see you all tomorrow.
-Mr. Hwang. -Have a good night.
Does he ever age or what? He hasn't changed one bit.
Be respectful, will you?
But we are hungry. So, let's go for some food.
-Let's go eat. -Let's go.
Goodness, I'm craving soup.
What do you feel like eating?
Shall we go for sizzling hot soup or something that's more like stew?
Well, what's happening with Kyung-wan?
It has turned into a big mess.
Even the human rights commission is saying there's no way to refute it.
Is there anyone else who can prove it by any chance?
It looks like you and Mr. Hwang go a long way back.
Yes, time flies. We've known each other for 20 years now.
Gosh, how did you put up with his personality for two decades?
I can't say it's been two full decades. There was...
JUNG-BON KIM
SI-MOK HWANG
Well, about Mr. Yoon...
Is there a problem in his family? Are they having trouble conceiving?
Right, I was wondering the same thing when she asked him if he has any children.
That's not it.
His kid died.
-Sorry? -Pardon?
How did it happen?
A car accident.
On the way home from a field trip.
Goodness.
When was it?
Was it about two years ago?
He took a long leave of absence after that.
He returned to work recently.
Gosh.
That place looks pretty good. Let's just go there. It's the closest.
-Okay, let's do that. -Sounds good.
-I love pollack. -Me too.
RECEIVING
HANJO GROUP
Sponsor
Went to Yangkang High School together October 27, 2016
Ga-young Kim, witness
Who would've been scared of Ga-young Kim giving statements?
Moo-sung Park, victim Sponsored the police and prosecutors
Associated with the Il-jae Young case
Chang-jun Lee, Dong-jae Seo
Yun-beom Lee, HANJO GROUP
What are you doing here?
Put that down.
Get out.
Why can't I be part of the special investigation team?
Why do you have to be part of it?
Because I really want to work on the case. I'll do my best.
I know that you'll work harder than anyone else will.
I also know that you'll do your very best to take down Mr. Lee.
I'm not trying to frame him for something he didn't do.
You said yourself
that Moo-sung Park sent an underage girl to Mr. Lee.
That sure counts as bribery.
Do you think we're here to help you get your revenge?
Get out.
I knew you'd be here.
Gosh, I think I forgot something. I should...
Ms. Young.
-Give it to me. I'll take it. -All right.
I'll put in some rinds as well as some fried chicken.
Nothing beats bossam as a drink accompaniment.
Gosh.
You should take a quick break and have some of this, Mr. Hwang.
-Goodness. -It's bossam .
Thank you.
Your sweater fell on the floor.
It's been a long day even though it was only our first day.
-Good work, everyone. -Great job.
Mr. Yoon, how's your hand?
-Sorry? It's... -You said you served in the Marine Corps.
Don't they say marines can even beat ghosts?
Ghosts don't use cell phones.
I'll be sure to catch him next time.
About the restaurant Moo-sung Park used to frequent to entertain his guests...
I heard they got audited out of the blue.
Collection officers came by at night
and counted the empty liquor boxes put outside of the restaurant.
They turned the place upside down,
asking why the reported numbers don't match that of the empty boxes.
Could it have been a coincidence?
The witness of the hit-and-run accident changed the statement in a day
after saying Moo-sung Park was the driver.
I'm going to meet the witness tomorrow.
-By the way... -Yes, Mr. Kim. What is it?
Mr. Lee's wife completely looks like a beauty pageant queen.
-Goodness. -Goodness, seriously.
I know, right? She's also from a filthy rich family.
Yes, it means he has to see Yun-beom Lee every day at home.
Will Mr. Lee start working for Hanjo Group after leaving the prosecution?
It's owned by his wife's family.
He'll obviously go that route for that reason.
He'll get a sweet position using his connections.
I didn't think he'd do such a thing.
Well, it looks like he has some assets under someone else's name.
It's the chief of Division One.
-What are you working on? -Why...
-It's my task. -Gosh.
Why are you being so shy? Read it aloud for us as practice.
It looks short, but it's actually very long.
"April 21, 2017.
I'll begin the first briefing of the special investigation team
whose goal is to reveal the truth
about the bribery case involving prosecutors.
First, we will summon Prosecutor Seo from Western Seoul..."
No.
Don't specify anyone.
-Just say we're preparing for it. -Okay.
Detective Jang, we have to interview the referential witness tomorrow.
Please bring her on time.
Sure, no problem. By the way,
I don't have her address yet.
That information
will be given to you tomorrow morning.
All right.
"We're keeping all possibilities open
to uncover the constituents of the crime as quickly as possible.
We'll let nothing get in our way to ensure a thorough investigation of the case.
Last but not least, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude
for all of your support and interest in the case."
BRIBERY CASE INVOLVING PROSECUTORS, SPECIAL PROSECUTOR SI-MOK HWANG
-There he is. -Take photos now.
Did you receive bribes?
How do you feel now?
When did you first meet Moo-sung Park?
Will you be taken into police custody?
-How do you feel about the investigation? -Please say a few words.
Go get some water at least, you pricks.
We received many gifts because it was around the holidays.
I didn't think it was anything perishable as it looked like a box of fruits,
so I left it in our balcony, which I shouldn't have done.
We opened it when my husband got home, and we were...
We were so surprised when we saw the bundles of cash.
We called the number on the business card found on the box,
and the person came and took it. That's really everything that happened.
In 2013, the company at which your brother-in-law was the director
was constructing a new building.
The contract with the late Moo-sung Park was signed at a reduced price.
That is complete nonsense.
It was immediately after the two of you met through the hit-and-run case.
You took the difference which was 400 million won.
You must know it's considered bribery through an intermediary.
This is considered spreading false information and defamation.
You must know that.
This is amazing!
Mr. Hwang made a good call by giving him time to hide things.
It's 78 REO 9257.
It's BMW's newest model.
We found it in the underground parking lot at Crown Hotel near Namsan.
We heard that you've never paid for parking for seven months.
You handled the owner of the hotel chain Young-ho Cha's assault case, didn't you?
Immediately after that, 70,000 shares of the company's stock
got listed under your nephew's name. How old is he this year?
-Tell Si-mok to come here. -Is he even in kindergarten now?
I said, bring Si-mok!
He's busy at the moment.
He asked me to pass this message along to you.
"We certainly have enough evidence to arrest you.
The investigation will go on for a long time.
We will make sure to reveal everything."
Well. I can share what I know...
He also said that there will be no negotiation.
Chief of Division One was bribed too.
You can go home and wait for your arrest warrant.
Just staying home might be a good idea.
MR. YOON
He's leaving now.
All right.
You can get going now.
Thank you.
I really appreciate everything you're doing.
You don't need to thank me. Please get going.
This way, please.
Reporters are still in the lobby, right?
Pardon me?
Let's take the stairs.
You can at least do that for me, right?
He needs to see her.
Mom!
Hey, Eun-soo. When did you get here?
-Mom, are you okay? -Eun-soo?
Let's go.
He asked me to pass this message along to you.
"We certainly have enough evidence to arrest you.
-The investigation will go..." -For a long time.
We'll make sure to reveal everything.
Mr. Seo! Gosh...
Mr. Seo. Goodness.
Hello? Someone here fell down a flight of stairs.
Mr. Seo.
-What happened? -What happened to him?
-Just a moment. -Don't push!
-What on earth happened? -What's going on?
Come in.
Don't you dare bother my family.
I locked myself away for three years. You must know my intentions.
I'll take it to my grave, so all of you should also
keep your promise.
My wife
and my daughter, Eun-soo.
Leave them alone.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you're saying.
Si-mok Hwang summoned my wife.
He's protesting to make me unbury the truth.
He's saying the investigation won't be over with just a few prosecutors caught.
He intentionally got my wife involved to make me disclose what I know.
This is only the beginning for him.
I won't say a word, no matter what kind of ruckus he causes.
So all of you shouldn't
do anything either.
Go tell your father-in-law exactly what I said.
Okay, I will let him know.
You're giving up on yourself after all.
How foolish.
You don't believe in yourself.
You don't know where your talents should be used.
They've been used enough here.
I want to use them for something else now.
WESTERN SEOUL PROSECUTORS' OFFICE CHIEF PROSECUTOR CHANG-JUN LEE
That was at Mapo Police Station.
I think they re-investigated Moo-sung Park's DUI hit-and-run case.
They're going the right way.
This guy is quite something.
He should've been taken aback
or at least tried to grip and yank my hand as forcefully.
He did neither.
Goodness.
Yes, where are you? I'm here now.
Yes. I'm right outside.
Okay.
How long has it been since the last time I worked? Dear me.
Goodness.
You can sit in the back.
Are you the one who called a taxi?
Why do you ask?
Am I not allowed to or what?
I was just...
What's this now?
-Who are you? -Hello.
You are cops. Shit.
-Sir. -Yes.
Where did you drop Min-ah Kwon off besides the bar?
Is this about her again?
Please, sir. Okay, I'll tell you.
You've picked her up from other places too, right?
Whether they're motels or hotels, please list all the places
she used to go regularly.
Well, I actually got fired from the bar. They found out I called the police.
Somebody must've blabbed about it.
-I see. -Really? We're so sorry.
-What should we do? -Was it...
I'll ask you one last time.
Was it back in the summer?
After I dropped Min-ah off, I went inside to use the washroom.
That's when I saw her using the phone in the lobby.
I thought the man must be someone who's quite powerful.
Since a bunch of power brokers got in trouble due to records
on a girl's phone in the past,
they all hate leaving traces on phone records,
especially the more powerful ones.
-Hello. -Hello.
We're from the police.
Please cooperate.
GUEST HISTORY
She's been here so many times.
Mr. Hwang.
Yes.
Well, they wanted some snacks.
Actually, there's something I want to tell you.
Please go ahead.
I should have told you sooner.
I actually dug up some intel on you.
Why did you do that?
I was told to do it by high-ups.
So?
I reported everything to Mr. Lee.
How should I put this? Back then, I didn't know he'd abandon us like this.
I apologize. You picked me for your team without knowing any of it.
He came to my husband's company to talk, saying he's your colleague.
If you no longer think that I qualify to be part of the team...
It's fine.
My family already told me about it.
Your family told you?
Yes.
So you knew everything?
Yes.
My gosh, you bought so many.
We have so much bread here.
I'll make coffee for everyone too.
Wow.
-You're the best. -I'll do it.
-Could you please stir it? -Sure.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
Here you go. I hope all of you enjoy it.
We can't even go out for team dinners as people might eavesdrop.
This is really good. It tastes as if it's from a coffee shop.
Gosh. You're right.
Si-mok. I mean, Mr. Hwang. You should have...
Where's Mr. Kim? Is he still at the hospital?
Why Mr. Seo out of everyone?
What do you mean by that? Are they on bad terms?
I can't really say that they're on bad terms...
Mr. Seo recently gave him some cash as spending money,
which put him in an awkward position.
No, he didn't spend it.
He gave it all to me so that we can use it toward our investigation expenses.
But Mr. Seo kept criticizing him for eating up the money
and not giving him anything in return.
Even a kid won't be that immature.
Goodness. Hearing about that one incident tells me all I need to know about him.
Is that good?
-Not really. -Seriously?
You're right.
Then, something else for me.
Did you discover anything yet?
Well, we discovered that Ga-young used to book a room
at the hotel on Mondays about two or three times a month.
-Only on Mondays? -Yes. She used Min-ah Kwon's name for it.
But we don't know anything about the man.
He must've paid for the room with his credit card.
Ga-young paid.
With cash.
Goodness, how sleazy.
I bet he gave her the cash and got out through the underground parking lot.
We asked them for the security camera footage,
but they said they've probably discarded it
as it was too long ago.
I had a chat with my friend who works at Sungmoon Daily .
They still don't know who the informant is.
No way. Don't you think it's bullshit?
I don't think so
because they think it's odd too.
Everyone knows that the chairman of Hanjo Group is Mr. Lee's father-in-law,
yet that article exposing the scandal was approved at one go.
As you all know, Sungmoon Daily is conservative.
It's also a big corporation, just like Hanjo Group.
They certainly could have filtered it out.
My friend said it's unprecedented.
Is there rivalry between them?
They might be holding grudges.
Have Sungmoon and Hanjo ever butted heads against each other?
Not that I know of.
Can we talk for a minute?
Did something happen?
Well...
About Mr. Il-jae Young's wife...
Summoning her has anything to do with the special investigation?
Yes.
Then you should've given us a heads-up.
We're a team, yet no one knew about it.
I had to keep it confidential.
Keep it confidential? From whom?
Chang-jun Lee
and Hanjo Group.
I get why you wanted to keep it from Mr. Lee.
But why Hanjo Group?
Moo-sung Park's total shares in Hanjo Group
used to be worth over ten billion won.
That ten billion won is what ties Il-jae Young, Chang-jun Lee and Yun-beom Lee
together.
Are you saying you want to drag Yun-beom Lee into this too?
This investigation will be meaningless if it ends at Moo-sung Park.
The problem will continue to branch out if we fail to uproot it completely.
There will be other victims like Moo-sung Park.
Are you really determined
to uproot the problem with your own hands?
Someone has to get
to the bottom of it someday.
Our investigation could be the starting point.
It won't be easy though.
Right, it's not like we're easy.
You asked me to gather some intel on Mr. Jung-bon Kim.
-I'll throw this out for you. -Thank you.
He offers free legal advice, and he's also actively involved in NGO work.
What about the other ones? Do you still not fully trust them?
Mr. Kim secured the evidence without giving it away to Dong-jae.
Mr. Yoon also approached me first
to come clean about gathering intel on me.
What about me?
Can you trust me?
Is someone digging up intel on me?
That won't happen because there's no need.
Let's discover what Hanjo Group is hiding. They aren't that big of a deal.
Gosh. I wonder how Mr. Kim is doing.
DEPARTMENT CHIEF, DIVISION THREE WON-CHUL KANG
Are you really going to go?
Of course. Do you think I'm putting on a show?
Does that prick want to die or what? How dare he summon his department chief?
What are you talking about?
He got that job to do things like this.
Do you happen to know why he summoned you?
-Mr. Seo. -Goodness.
Did you see...
-Goodness. -What's wrong with him?
My shoes.
Yes, Mr. Kim.
What should we do? Mr. Seo is gone.
-Mr. Hwang, the hospital just called... -I just heard about it too.
I guess miracles do happen.
Sir, please help me.
Sir, help me, please.
Sir! Sir, please help me.
Sir, I need your help!
I'll do anything, sir.
I can do anything!
Anything you say! Sir, please.
-Hey! -Many are willing to do anything for me.
There's something Mr. Lee hasn't told you!
Let go!
STRANGER
-Hey, when did she wake up? -We have to move her.
You can't tell anyone about it. You absolutely shouldn't.
How can you not know where she is?
The guy who delivered the cash to my dad. He's running away now.
What are you looking for? It's not your desk.
Evidence.
The police did something they should never do.
The culprit wants things about Moo-sung Park to be exposed.
What will you sell if I'm buying from you?
I started the special investigation to catch all of them.
Are you saying you'll do this?
I won't stop at a tip of the iceberg like Moo-sung Park.
