01x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

(All characters, organizations,

and events in this drama are fictitious.)

Hold on. You can't barge in here.

It's all right. You may leave.

I don't remember agreeing to meet.

Don't you think this is impolite?

I'm heading out in five minutes.

I have a meeting with

the other district head prosecutors.

Whatever it is, make it quick.

This is Prosecutor Jin.

Please inform

the Prosecutor's Office

that Mr. Kim won't be

at the meeting.

Kim Tae h*,

you are under arrest

for the concealment of m*rder,

the ordering of falsified evidence,

blackmail, kidnapping,

and solicitation to commit m*rder.

What?

Cuff him.

What did I tell you?

I said you were done for.

Why did you do it?

I only ask because I'm curious.

For what reason and what gain

did you place

your loyalty elsewhere

and abandon your sense of duty

as a prosecutor?

My sense of duty?

Did we ever have anything like that?

We are nothing but hounds

who serve a new master

every five years.

I craved power

in order to break free.

A prosecution service

with great power

that doesn't answer to anyone.

To make that happen,

I had to climb up the ranks

which is why I needed his power.

To challenge those with power,

you sought help

from another man in power.

To me, it sounds like

you're serving a new master.

It was a necessary evil.

I did what was necessary

to protect the organization.

I don't see a fault in my ways.

No, what you did was wrong.

You did it to protect our organization?

Who do you think you are?

Don't fool yourself, Mr. Kim.

Power or status doesn't protect us.

The law and people do.

I'll prove to you

how wrong your petty principle is.

I'll show you how easily

the so-called power you believe in

can crumble down.

You think you're right, don't you?

I understand that every prosecutor

is considered

a separate authoritative entity.

But ranks still exist

within these entities.

Even if obeying orders

is considered

a deep-rooted problem

of our organization,

it is clear that it's the driving force

of our organization.

You will think you're being righteous.

But you're wrong.

You're nothing more than

a defective product

in our organization.

Like a bruised apple in a box,

full of good apples.

Or a loach, muddying the water

for all the fish in the pond.

That's where you stand

in our organization.

Look at everything you did so far.

Your action alone is bringing down

our entire organization.

What if you cause our organization

to lose its power, status,

and everything?

Who will stay in our organization

for the next term?

True prosecutors will stay.

(Bad Prosecutor)

(Bad Prosecutor)

(Episode 8)

Prosecutor Oh Do Hwan.

We're from the Inspection Department

of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.

Let's go quietly.

This way.

Let's go.

Did District Head Kim

order you to fabricate

Deputy Chief Lee Jang Won's case

in a specific way?

No.

Did you threaten

the medical examiner

who performed the autopsy

on Deputy Chief Lee?

Or did you coerce him

to make a false statement?

No.

Look, Prosecutor Oh.

Are you kidding me?

Even people

at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office know

that you're

District Head Kim's right-hand man.

Do you expect me to believe

you had no idea about this?

I didn't know.

Gosh. You're one shameless jerk.

Don't you know where you are?

You're at the Inspection Department

of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office!

You won't be leaving this place

as a prosecutor.

(Prosecutors' Office:

Prosecutor Oh Do Hwan)

The Inspection Department searched

your office and seized your files.

We'll get to the bottom of this

once we start looking.

And it's a fact

that your career is over.

(Law Firm Kangsan)

(Law Firm Kangsan)

(Managing Partner Seo Hyun Kyu)

(Personal Information)

I confirmed the alibi

for 4 out of the 5 buyers

in the drug ledger.

And the last one on the list

Tae Hyung Wook.

The Chief Secretary

at Law Firm Kangsan.

We won't be able to get a warrant

with just this ledger.

We obtained the evidence illegally.

And there's nothing connecting

the suspect to the crime.

Sometimes, taking it head-on

might work out.

Let's hear her out at least.

What do you mean?

Can't you give me

a heads-up next time?

Let's go inside.

How can I help you?

We're here to meet

Chief Secretary Tae Hyung Wook.

I see. What's your name?

- It's Jin Jung.

- Mr. Jin Jung.

Did you make an appointment

before coming here?

No. I just barged in here.

I'm sorry.

You cannot meet with Ms. Tae

without an appointment.

Is that so?

Then I'll make an appointment now.

I want to see her

at the earliest possible.

- Do you think you're at a karaoke?

- What?

What is this about?

We meet again, ma'am.

And this is

Who is he?

My name is Seo Ji Han.

You can talk to me.

Should we?

Hold on.

You think Ms. Tae committed m*rder?

m*rder the deputy chief prosecutor?

Gosh. I'm sorry.

We will need time

to look into this and sort this out.

If you don't mind,

I would like to end our meeting now.

Mr. Seo.

I won't repeat myself.

Don't give me excuses

and bring her here.

Prosecutor Jin,

that was pretty rude.

I'm not here to be polite.

What if I won't let you see her?

If you don't let me see her,

I'll have a reasonable doubt.

That your law firm

has a deep connection

to Deputy Chief Lee's case.

Okay.

I'll let you see her.

Thank you.

(Call)

Tell Ms. Tae to come up.

Did you want to see me?

Your name was on the buyers' list

from a drug dealer's ledger.

It was the same drug

as the drug found in

Deputy Chief Lee Jang Won's body.

Could you explain this?

I don't know.

You don't know?

That's all?

My personal information

could have leaked.

That's all I can say.

Did you know Deputy Chief

Prosecutor Lee Jang Won?

I saw him on the news.

- And in a personal capacity?

- No.

What were you doing

between 10 p.m. to 11 p.m.

on the day of his death?

I thought

this was a simple interview.

I didn't know

this was an interrogation.

You're deflecting my question.

It sounded like you had

already made up your mind

that I was the culprit

when you asked me that.

I had to ask you this to exclude you

from the suspect list.

I was exercising after work.

If you need it,

I'll send you the footage

to confirm my alibi.

If you're done asking me questions,

may I leave?

Yes.

Ms. Tae.

What are you doing?

Hey, Prosecutor Jin.

Sorry. I was mistaken.

I made a huge mistake.

I would like to sincerely apologize.

Are you out of your mind?

What if she sues you?

Why would you do

something that insane?

- It's her.

- What?

An ordinary person would've

at least blinked their eyes.

But she didn't.

She didn't blink at all.

She's a professional.

Even if you're right,

it's only anecdotal.

Let's leave the door open for now.

Aren't you Prosecutor Jin Jung

from the Central District

Prosecutors' Office?

May I ask who you are?

It's an honor to meet you.

I'm Seo Hyun Kyu,

the CEO of this place.

How do you know me?

Of course, I know you.

You're the one who sent

District Head Kim Tae h* to prison.

Actually, stabbing your own people

in the back

isn't something anyone can do.

As they say, you're amazing.

Thank you for the compliment.

Call me whenever you want.

I'll reserve a place

with a nice view.

I'll only appreciate the offer.

Goodbye.

Chief Secretary Tae Hyung Wook

of Law Firm Kangsan.

Chief Secretary Tae Hyung Wook?

Yes.

Find anything that's related to her.

Gather everything about her

that you can find.

From the day of Mr. Lee's m*rder

until today,

find out her whereabouts

and confirm her alibis.

Yes, sir.

Chief Secretary Tae Hyung Wook

of Law Firm Kangsan.

I'm sure there will be a loose end.

It could be her statement

or her alibi.

If she really is the suspect

of Mr. Lee's death.

Whatever it is,

we just need to find one.

One piece of evidence

to drag them down.

She pushed him

from the 11th floor to k*ll him.

And he was alive at the moment.

I'll catch her no matter what.

Why would you catch her?

Let's catch her together.

What's wrong? Who is it?

(Mom)

- Yes, Mom.

- Jung.

It's so hard to hear your voice.

I thought you were dead.

That's not the case.

Actually, I was going to call you.

Come right away

if you don't want to die.

Well, Mom. I'm busy at the moment.

(Mom)

Gosh.

Do you want to eat dinner?

(Jung's Barbecue)

If I had known

there would be a guest,

I would've gone to the market

to buy some groceries.

I'm sorry.

There's not much to offer.

No, this is more than enough.

- Thank you for the food.

- My goodness.

I knew you were pretty,

but I didn't know

you were well-mannered too.

What's your name?

I'm Shin A Ra.

Shin A Ra?

Ma'am, did you eat?

If you haven't, please join us.

You're such a kind person.

But still,

an elder shouldn't join in

when a young man and woman

are eating together.

Yes, you're right. Go away, Mom.

Just grill the meat.

No. I like eating with elders.

Please sit.

Then I'll bear the shame

and join you.

May I ask how old you are?

I'm 34 years old.

My goodness.

I thought you were 20 years old

because of your fair skin.

- Did you say 20 years old?

- Yes.

Twenty years old?

I think your skin is

much better than mine.

I was shocked earlier

when Prosecutor Jin

called you "Mom."

I do look younger than my age.

It's all cooked. You can eat now.

This is the best part

we serve at this restaurant.

- It's so tasty.

- Right?

Please help yourself.

Are you married?

Married? I've been working so hard

that I couldn't even date anyone.

What do you think about someone

who's younger than you?

A younger man I'm okay

if it's less than five years.

I see. Seeing someone

who's younger than you is trending.

I love it.

What was Prosecutor Jin Jung like

when he was young?

What do you think?

I don't think

he was just an ordinary boy.

He was amazing.

He once held onto the railing

on the fourth floor to save a cat,

but he failed and fell.

He got hit by a car while trying

to save a ball a kid lost.

I thought about taking him

to the hospital.

He only thinks about others

and doesn't care about himself.

That sounds just like him.

He got into fights all the time too.

He said fists were the answer

to turn the bad guys into humans.

He didn't care if it was

a teacher or a student.

He couldn't stand anyone

bullying the weak.

He made sure to pay them back

ten times what he got.

If it wasn't enough, he paid them

a hundred times what he got.

He's so like his father.

What about Jung's father?

Well, it was an accident.

It happened

when Jung was 12 years old.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

It was a long time ago.

You don't have to worry about it.

Well I had a great meal today.

No, you can't do this.

This is making me feel upset.

It's between us.

Where do you live?

My son. Jung.

What? I'm cleaning the griddles

that I didn't get to eat anything off.

Get a cab for Prosecutor Shin.

Hurry.

There's an app.

You can call a cab to come here.

- Hurry.

- All right.

Let's go.

(Jung's Barbecue)

What was your father like?

He was a nice person.

I really wanted to take after him.

Someone who was so cool

and powerful.

It was a car accident.

It happened in front of my eyes.

It comes to my mind

from time to time.

If only I had

held onto him for five seconds,

my mom wouldn't have had to cry.

I promised myself at his funeral

that I wouldn't cry anymore

and wouldn't make

my family and people

shed tears no matter what.

You should work hard then.

To do what your father couldn't do.

I had a great meal today.

Go home safely.

Jung.

Your father would love

what you have become.

Thank you. Bye.

I'll go now.

(Motive for the m*rder,

the reason why they k*lled Mr. Lee)

Then the k*ller

wanted information from Mr. Lee.

(They are looking for something.

What is it?)

Before the incident,

my father went to meet someone.

He said there was something

to give that person.

It was a yellow envelope.

You were right all along.

Monsters should be slayed,

not put on leashes.

Anyway,

the sword has been passed on to you.

Make good use of it.

I'll make very good use of it.

What are you punks even doing here?

Well,

Prosecutor Jin said

this would be our new office.

Where is Prosecutor Jin?

Hey.

What is this,

a neighborhood gathering?

Who are you to make room here

for those irrelevant

to the prosecution service?

Toss them out.

There's no need

to squash their confidence.

Not when they're a huge help.

We can come up with an excuse

for the bosses.

Say they're external advisors.

Let's agree to this amicably.

Agree to what?

What do they even do?

Unbelievable. Chul Ki, you're up.

Introduce them to him.

Why am I also here?

So that I could inform you too.

This isn't the movies, you know.

Get on with it.

All right, I'll begin.

Name, Baek Eun Ji. Age, 28.

She's the only daughter of Polar Bear,

the leader of

the nationwide White Bear g*ng.

Really?

I see we're off to a dynamic start.

She was number two in the ranks

and the g*ng's lieutenant,

but then she suddenly retired.

She is no longer a player in the field,

but her nickname remains a legend

in the back streets of Korea.

The Raptor shears, her main weapon,

got her the nickname.

The Velociraptor of Bongcheon-dong.

Like the dinosaur from the movies?

Why is she a dinosaur

when her dad's a bear?

Do you know what's funnier?

(Number 3 of the White Bear g*ng)

Third in the rankings

is Tyrannosaurus of Ssangmun-dong.

Are you okay? Then get her!

- Hurry!

- Darn it!

Goodness me.

He got the nickname because

he has a large head but short limbs.

Fourth in the rankings

is Triceratops of

Save it and move on.

(Self-proclaimed genius hacker)

Name, Ko Joong Do.

Age

(Self-proclaimed genius hacker)

He's 28.

Wait. You're 28?

Saying that to my face

hurts my feelings.

Why? How is he 28?

I'm still looking into it.

I'll figure out the cause

as soon as possible.

Why do you need

to figure out the cause

when there's nothing wrong with me?

Jung, tell them.

It's not my fault

you don't look like you're 28.

Please don't say

he's older than you.

How else can I put it?

Is it against the law

to state the facts?

Don't you like younger men?

I don't. I'm put off by them.

The years haven't been kind to him,

but he's smarter than you think.

The five-time consecutive winner

of the CODEGATE hacking competition

who also recently hacked

into the NIS

The National Intelligence Service?

Why you

That was his cousin.

I did it!

I won.

Darn it.

My aunt's son won the competition.

Seriously?

You should've continued

without pausing.

It had me alarmed!

Well, I was only trying

to be more dramatic

I apologize, sir.

How well did Ko Joong Do do?

Out of 82 contestants,

he finished in 41st place.

Mediocre.

Is he a good hacker or a bad one?

I'm somewhere in the middle.

Jung,

why is he even on your team?

To serve as the human shield?

Come on.

A human shield?

And that concludes my presentation.

(Thank you for listening.)

- Satisfied?

- So?

Who are these kids to you?

My friends.

(Jin Jung and Friends)

(Law Firm Kangsan)

I must say I'm surprised.

I never expected you

to contact me this soon.

Your bosses must not

be happy with you.

I'm here to see Mr. Seo Hyun Kyu.

Having his business card

doesn't get you that far.

You can talk to me instead.

I determine who walks

through my father's doors.

I'd like to address

Mr. Seo in person.

That must be

the last ounce of your pride.

This is a job interview,

Prosecutor Oh.

What if that attitude of yours

has me writing you off?

You already looked into my father

to see what kind of a man he is.

Isn't that why you're here?

To lean on the power he possesses?

Bow and apologize.

It's an item on my bucket list.

To have a prosecutor

grovel at my feet.

What are you doing?

Get on the floor.

Know that I'm in charge

of what happens to you.

(Prosecutors' Office:

Prosecutor Oh Do Hwan)

(Assisting Officer Cho Woo Sung,

Investigator Kang Shin Jo)

It's from my dash cam.

Check what's on it.

Oh, dear, Prosecutor Oh.

You're headed

in the wrong direction.

Deputy Chief Lee

didn't k*ll her.

Someone else did.

(Seoul Dongha Detention Center)

(Warden's Office)

It's you again.

I needed to tell you something.

I met with Deputy Chief Lee.

The day before he died.

You know the thing

Seo Hyun Kyu is looking for?

He gave that to me.

Why are you telling me that?

It's not like I can just call him up.

You should relay the message.

Do you even know what you're saying?

So

you want to have

another go at him with that?

After what happened to you

years ago?

Well,

I have nothing to lose now.

Jae Kyung.

You might die.

I already died once

when I had to

say goodbye to my wife and son.

That's all. I'll get going now.

Good luck with the trial.

And Tae h*.

I'm sure you know it

better than anyone.

Don't trust Seo Hyun Kyu too much.

(Kim Tae h*)

District Head Kim Tae h* is calling

from the detention center.

He's in a meeting.

All right. This woman.

Name, Tae Hyung Wook. Age, 32.

She's the chief secretary

of Managing Partner Seo Hyun Kyu

of Law Firm Kangsan.

She waits on him

hand and foot for now.

She's with him wherever he goes.

Do they even go

to the toilet together?

I was just joking.

Before joining the law firm,

she served at the headquarters

for the army special forces

for seven years

Her main duty was

counterterrorism, retribution,

and retaliation.

She conducted operations

to distract rearguards

and launched short-term attacks

for seven years.

Gosh. What is this?

Is she a heroine of a movie?

Did you find out what I asked?

I didn't find anything special

regarding her recent activities.

Her alibi was confirmed too.

Prosecutor Jin.

This is the security footage

from her gym.

Gosh. I'm not done

with my presentation.

This is the security footage

exactly at 11 p.m.

When the deputy chief was m*rder*d,

she was at the gym.

Was Prosecutor Jin wrong?

Be quiet.

I knew it wouldn't be easy.

We should keep an eye on her.

- But we should consider other

- Hold on, Jin Jung.

Look at the clock here.

It's 11 p.m. What about that?

If she indeed worked out at 11 p.m.,

this reflected clock

shouldn't point to 11 p.m.

The reflection.

We're looking at its reflection.

Then the time she worked out

at the gym was

It's 1 a.m.

It's two hours

after the deputy chief was m*rder*d.

It's enough time

to flee from the scene.

Then what about the timestamp?

It says it's 11 p.m. there.

It was fabricated!

Prosecutor Jin.

Then the person who tried to k*ll

you and the medical examiner

The sterile gloves.

It's probably the same person.

But aren't we jumping to conclusions

if we assume it's the same person

only based on

looking at this person's back?

This person left the syringe

that was used to k*ll

the deputy chief at my house.

And the attacker who stabbed me

at the abandoned factory

had the same gloves on.

But we don't have any evidence.

We can start looking for it now.

Let's start with this.

(132 GO 6503)

(132 GO 6503)

Gosh.

That's so frustrating.

I ran the plate number,

and it was under a fake name.

But we might be able

to check its route.

Can I like you?

Hey. That's

Well,

I'll think about it.

All right. Let's go.

You've been coming here often.

- Hello.

- Hey.

Go ahead.

All right.

- Grab that.

- Okay.

- This is nice.

- All right.

Sir.

Let's talk.

Hey.

It's rude to talk to someone

in the middle of their workout.

Right. It's rude. Let's just go.

Okay. I'll talk to him. Fine.

Sir.

Stop working out.

I need to talk to you.

Gosh.

You know her, right?

Yes. What about her?

And you manage

the security cameras here, right?

But why do you guys

want to know about that?

What? What's wrong with her?

What?

Don't mumble and talk.

Come on.

Seriously.

Hey.

Is that absolutely necessary?

Come on. You're a man.

Don't be a coward.

No one will know if we cover it up

with soil. Don't worry.

If you cover it up

So I mean

I'm good.

Just do whatever you guys want.

Well, Eun Ji.

Are you really going

to sever ties with the big boss?

But still. Come on.

Blood is thicker than water.

He's your own father.

I'm not going back.

You should just bury your feelings

for Prosecutor Jin.

We should go back.

Besides, you've been in the g*ng

as long as you've been alive.

And helping a prosecutor

is beautiful.

What?

You guys make a cute couple.

Did you get any information yet?

He's so stubborn. He won't talk.

Gosh. That jerk.

Then you must make him talk.

Watch me. Okay?

You're not doing anything here

other than shoveling.

Okay. I'll talk.

Come on.

Darn it.

I'll talk. Ask me anything.

I'll tell you everything.

What do you want to know?

I'll talk.

Hold on.

Can you zoom in on this part?

(132 GO 6503)

(132 GO 6503)

Mr. Jin.

I think I found it.

That's where it was caught on camera

for the last time.

A car can't just disappear.

Where do you think it went?

Maybe she wanted to hide it

around here somewhere.

Or get rid of it.

What's this place?

There it is.

(132 GO 6503)

Gosh, I can't see anything inside.

- Move.

- Pardon?

- Move.

- Gosh, what are you doing?

I saw people doing this.

(Baek Eun Ji)

- Yes?

- Jung.

He confessed.

She wasn't there at 11 p.m.

Okay. Good job.

Get the original footage,

and I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay.

What?

This is blood

from the shoe of the suspect.

This is my blood.

Please analyze these two

and see if they're the same.

(Professor Jang Jae Hee)

Prosecutor Jin.

Yes?

We do anatomy here.

I know you have friends

who can do this.

Please help me out.

Come on. This will be the last time.

Tell me honestly.

You got this illegally,

so you can't take this to the NFS,

right?

No, of course not.

Me? No way.

Jung.

How can you say that?

What?

Anyway, I'll take that as a yes.

I'll be waiting.

- Jung.

- Professor Jang.

I cherish you, and I love you.

Hey, Jung!

(CEO Seo Hyun Kyu)

This just got delivered.

(Sender: Oh Do Hwan,

Recipient: Seo Hyun Kyu)

"Oh Do Hwan?"

Thank you.

Kids these days

are not afraid of anything.

Are you saying

it was my blood on the shoes?

Yes. Blood-type B positive.

It's a 99.9 percent match.

Thank you, Professor Jang.

It's clear now.

Yes. Okay.

Chul Ki, where's my wooden sword?

Oh, that

Yesterday, Mr. Park took it

to dust his blanket.

- His blanket?

- Yes.

- With my wooden sword?

- Yes.

Why would he use my wooden sword

to dust his blanket?

Where is it?

Why would you let him take it

to dust his blanket?

I'm sorry, sir.

It was a yellow envelope.

What's this next to the cat?

This? It's an MP3 player.

MP3 player?

Do you have this with you?

He took it.

He said he was looking for that.

I think you need to explain this.

Tell me about it.

Why do you have that with you?

Forget about it. It's nothing.

- Pardon?

- Do you want me to say it again?

Forget about it since it's nothing.

What nonsense is that?

That's what Mr. Lee's k*ller

was looking for, right?

What is it?

Why are they k*lling people

to get that?

Answer me.

I'm about to get angry now.

Prosecutor Jin.

Last time, you asked me

where my family was, right?

They're dead.

It was disguised as an accident.

I couldn't do anything about it.

Does that mean it's related

to the recent incidents?

All this time,

you knew what was going on

but didn't bother to share.

This isn't a game

for you to play, Jung.

I must do this alone.

Don't say my name

like we're friends.

You almost died, you punk!

Just listen for once in your life.

Do you really believe

you are the first of your kind?

He is not someone

you can foolishly take on.

He could easily

come after you again.

Your mother and your friends.

He could have them

wiped off the planet.

Jung,

this is for your own good.

Save it.

Maybe it would've been different

had I not known.

But turning a blind eye

isn't how I roll.

(365 days, 24 hours,

The Civil Affairs Division Office)

Are you good, Snowball?

Tae Hyung Wook speaking.

There's a specific kind of criminal

I can't forgive.

Murderers like you.

May I ask who's speaking?

The one who has

- Hey. Burn it.

- I'll talk.
