01x12 - Episode 12

[bunniefuu]

Han Ji Hyun?

The fates of the others are changing because I came back to life.

A butterfly can flutter its wings in one place...

and cause a typhoon someplace else.

Han Ji Hyun the Grim Reaper. And me, who you brought back to life.

Are we enemies or friends?

[Again My Life]

[Episode 12]

I'm here at last.

The heart of power in Korea.

And the gathering place of trash.

Have you been well?

Sure. What's this about?

I'll bring down Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon.

You will bring down Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon?

- Yes, sir. - Why?

I remembered the conversation we had a while back.

- About what? - Your goal...

is to make this country stronger.

Right. That is something I'm always keeping in mind.

However, Chief Prosecutor Kim's goal is to make the prosecution stronger.

I have heard him say that often. So what's your point?

At the moment,

I work under Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon,

- so I was torn. - You were torn?

A stronger nation and making the prosecution more powerful.

However, the two of you cannot coexist,

and I...

would like to side with you, sir.

What are you saying now?

Bando Bank.

Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon...

ordered me to investigate it in secret.

They issue and extend loans for insolvent companies...

while allowing ill*gal loans in homeless individuals' names.

They own 15 percent of Chunha's shares.

On paper, the company is owned by Park Dae h*.

However, you are the real owner of the company.

Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon is trying to put a leash on you.

What will you do?

Well, all right.

What do you think I should do with Chief Prosecutor Kim?

My opinion doesn't matter...

for I am a mere prosecutor after all.

Then can you pretend this conversation never happened?

I will do that, sir.

Then I will take care of this.

I should reward you though.

- What do you want? - Pardon me?

Tell me anything you want.

What kind of position? Which department?

I'll give you an opportunity to create the future you want.

- I do not want anything. - Nothing at all?

Didn't you decide to betray Kim Seok Hoon and come to me...

because there was something you wanted?

I did not betray anyone.

I was simply acting on my faith.

- "Faith"? - Yes.

Right, faith.

I am truly glad that this country has a prosecutor like you.

If you think of something you want, come and see me anytime.

This door...

is always open for you.

- Thank you, sir. - You should get going.

- Director Han. - Yes, sir.

- See him out. - Yes, sir.

Why didn't you tell him what you wanted? He'd give it to you.

I don't want anything.

I want to know what you're really thinking.

Sorry?

You told me you'd keep your promise.

I want to know what you meant by that.

Before that, there's something I want to know.

- About me? - While investigating...

Assemblyman Cho as per Chief Prosecutor Kim's order,

I looked into you as well.

However,

I couldn't find anything on you.

You'll find nothing on me.

Is that so?

Hearing that will only make me want to dig deeper...

because I'm a prosecutor.

Dig all you want, if you can.

Now, it's your turn to answer my question.

I can't give you all the answers yet.

Please wait a bit longer.

I will keep my promise soon.

What does that mean?

Thank you for seeing me out. I'll be off, then.

Kim Seok Hoon is finally showing his teeth.

He is shortsighted.

How foolish is it to risk losing something bigger...

just because of the Prosecutor General position?

- Director Kim. - Yes, sir.

Keep a watchful eye on Kim Seok Hoon's every move...

and on the Eastern District Office as well.

The Eastern District Prosecutors' Office, sir?

If one of them is acting up, the others won't stay quiet either.

Understood, sir.

- Director Han. - Yes, sir.

That kid, Kim Hee Woo.

Doesn't he seem like trouble?

Look into him.

Don't miss anything. Find out everything about him.

Yes, sir.

The Central District Prosecutors' Office is investigating Bando Bank?

And Kim Seok Hoon ordered it?

Yes. In order to be appointed the next Prosecutor General,

Chief Prosecutor Kim wishes to use Bando Bank...

to have leverage over Assemblyman Cho.

So? What is it that you need me to do?

We'll leak info on the investigation of Bando Bank.

Deliberately leak the info?

So you want to ignite the embers?

Yes.

In your name, sir.

Why?

If you just hold a press briefing and go public with the info,

you can easily...

set the whole house on fire.

You learned last time that a move like that could backfire on us.

We tried going that route,

but it only made Assemblyman Cho more powerful and influential.

Besides, Assemblyman Cho...

has enough power and resources...

to easily divert public attention no matter how we tell the truth.

That's true.

This time, our goal...

is to create a chasm between Assemblyman Cho...

and Chief Prosecutor Kim.

- Create a chasm? - Correct.

Bando Bank, Kim Seok Hoon, and Cho Tae Sub.

If we're smart about it, we can pit them against each other.

And after all, people love...

watching dogfights.

Please, I need your help.

Okay.

However, don't forget that we're dealing with Cho Tae Sub here.

You'll need to have a Plan B, C, and more.

You must be prepared in advance.

Yes. Of course, sir.

Kim Hee Woo!

Hey.

What's going on? Why did you come all the way here to see me?

- Let's talk. - What? You just made my heart skip.

What's going on?

You said you wanted to talk.

I'm planning to take down a really bad guy.

But it could hurt a friend of mine.

- A good friend? - Yes.

You're talking about Kim Seok Hoon, right?

How did you know?

Mr. Hwang Jin Yong called me earlier.

He briefly told me about the situation.

Hey, must I hear about this through Mr. Hwang...

when it involves me?

I'm sorry.

It'll likely cause you a lot of distress.

Gosh, I can already see the headlines.

"Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon."

"Rumours About His Secret Love Child Prove True."

I'll do my best to keep the media out,

but I wanted to give you a heads-up so you can be ready.

It's fine. I just need you to promise me one thing.

Come on, make a pinky promise.

Take him down for good.

If you do a clumsy job, I'll stop being friends with you.

Okay.

And this involves me. I'll help out too.

- Hey, Han Mi. - I'm off.

Tail Kim Hee Woo.

Hee Woo?

Yes, I told him to take care of something.

But instead of reporting the progress to me,

he does things and notifies me only after the fact.

That's what he did with the Gimsan case and with Il Hyun as well.

He's like a train with broken brakes.

He must be stopped before he causes a major accident.

Can you do it?

Yes, sir.

I give you my word. If you do a good job this time,

I'll make sure your father is released.

[Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo]

- Leaving for the day? - Yes.

How about we grab a drink together?

Oh, I'm sorry. I've got plans.

You're always so busy.

- Take it easy, man. - Will do. Bye.

Bye.

He left just now. Follow him.

[No Parking]

[No Parking]

- Hey, you're here. - Hi.

- Everyone's here, right? - Yes.

The warrioress is here too.

By the way, I've got someone on my tail.

- Someone's tailing a prosecutor? - Yes.

I don't know who it is, but he's too gutsy for his own good.

Shall I go get him?

No, let's just play dumb and watch quietly.

We need to find out who sent him, you know.

Okay.

Here.

What's this?

A present. I wanted to wrap it nicely for you,

but I guess you'll have to put a ribbon on it yourself.

[Internal Investigation Report on JQ Constructions]

- JQ Constructions? - Yes.

[JQ Constructions is owned by Kim Seok Hoon's wife's family...]

If this gets out, Kim Seok Hoon's plan...

to become the next Prosecutor General will take a big hit.

And this will be great news for Yoon Jong Gi, his biggest competitor.

My gosh. If we manage to pull this off,

we can finally win some points and get on the Chief's good side.

I don't care about that,

but we're going up against Chief Prosecutor Kim.

Right, he's a chief prosecutor. But so what?

That's true. Anyone who breaks the law should be punished.

We're prosecutors after all.

Let's get him.

Look at you, warrioress.

Shut it, you brat. I'm your senior.

Anyway, hold onto it. I'll let you know when to go public with it.

Okay. Prosecutor Gu and I will look further into this.

We should cook this good ingredient to perfection.

Okay.

Here's the report on Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo, sir.

What do you think? Can we trust him?

That is something you should decide, sir.

[Name: Kim Hee Woo]

[Assemblyman Cho Hyun Seok's accident in 2007...]

His father witnessed...

Hyun Seok's accident?

Yes, sir.

What a strange coincidence.

In any case, this kid works under Kim Seok Hoon,

but he wants to join hands with me like a sly weasel.

Why?

Based on the circumstances...

and what I heard from the director of the Judicial Training Institute,

I believe he is working for Prosecutor Jeon Seok Kyu.

That makes sense.

Otherwise, why would he volunteer to work...

in a small-town branch office when he graduated top of his class?

Exactly. I think he wanted...

to transfer to Seoul with Jeon Seok Kyu.

Right. Kim Hee Woo wasn't working for Kim Seok Hoon.

From the very start, his goal was to get Jeon Seok Kyu reinstated.

And now, he wants to use me...

to take Kim Seok Hoon down.

What should I do?

Give him what he wants?

Or make him pay for having the audacity to try and use me?

That brazen brat.

Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon at the Central District Office?

- Why? - My goodness.

Come on.

Don't be like this. We're both pros.

I know you've leaked more scandalous info.

Your business is unregistered.

Your server is located in a foreign country.

Most importantly, this info came from Assemblyman Hwang.

So what's the problem?

Money?

Deal?

[Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo]

- Hey. - The bait has been thrown.

Really? Thanks.

Cho Tae Sub. You'll have no choice but to come to me.

Sir, I received this just now.

What is it?

This tabloid story will be published tomorrow.

The Central District Prosecutors' Office...

- is investigating Bando Bank? - Yes, sir.

Then what Kim Hee Woo said was true.

I've told them not to publish the story,

but the problem is that it came from Assemblyman Hwang Jin Yong.

That means Hwang Jin Yong knows. Then this is a serious problem.

I may not be able to put a stop to this on my own.

- Tell Kim Hee Woo to meet me here. - Yes, sir.

[Director Han Ji Hyun]

This is Han Ji Hyun.

I was waiting for your call.

Should I come now?

Sorry?

Yes.

Sir, Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo is here.

Come in.

You were born to be a prosecutor, a competent one.

And you have a bright future ahead of you.

So I want to give you a chance.

Take Kim Seok Hoon down.

I'll help you.

Help me?

But he won't take any responsibility.

What can you do to help me?

I'll make sure...

no one gets in your way while you get the job done.

Thank you.

It won't be easy though.

All I have to do is follow the orders I'm given.

Well, look into JQ Constructions first.

- It's already done. - Is that so? Great.

So? Have you found anything?

Yes. However,

I'll need some time to secure solid evidence.

But of course, I could get it done faster...

with your help.

My help? What do you need?

I need your secretary.

- You mean, Director Han? - Yes.

She's always right by my side.

Why do you need my secretary?

All she has to do is show up.

She won't need to say a word.

What is it that you need to do with her?

I'll show you with the results.

All right. Then I shall wait and see.

Let me ask you this question again.

What do you want?

- Nothing, sir. - Again?

Yes, sir. I'm not doing this because I want something in return.

I am simply following my faith.

- Director Han. - Yes, sir.

Help Prosecutor Kim.

Yes, sir.

Inmate 5346, you have a visitor.

Look who's here. What are you doing here?

You little jerk. Why are you here?

How many times has Chief Kim Seok Hoon visited you?

I bet he hasn't even called you once.

You see, he ditched you. Completely.

Which means, you're stuck in this place.

You rat. Are you here to throw oil on the fire?

I am here to put out the fire.

What?

- I have a proposition for you. - A proposition?

I can help you get your sentence reduced.

You jerk. What is this nonsense about now?

Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub.

I work for him now.

And I've been ordered to take down Chief Kim Seok Hoon.

Hey, stop lying to my face.

Are you kidding me?

You joined hands with him? Even I couldn't dream of doing that.

That's right.

So tell me all about the corrupt deeds...

Chief Kim Seok Hoon has committed.

Look, kiddo.

Go after bums like me if you want to crack down on corruption.

Why would he dirty his hands...

when his wife's family owns JQ?

Exactly, JQ is what I need.

I was told that you were the one who took care of it...

when JQ Constructions purchased land in Gusan.

Then prove it first.

That you now work for Assemblyman Cho.

So I can trust you.

Come on in.

[Voice Memo]

Everything you say from now on could be used as evidence.

Do we have your consent?

Yes, you do.

Okay, then go ahead.

The lot in Gusan was sold to JQ Constructions...

for much cheaper than the average price...

using unfair means.

Do you have evidence to prove it?

No.

I don't have it.

But I'm sure Executive Director Shin Dae Yong does.

Don't let his title fool you. He's a founding member of JQ.

And he was the one who devised the land purchase scheme in Gusan.

Okay.

I'll stop recording.

Thank you for your help.

Hey, Kim Hee Woo.

Let me ask you something.

When did you decide to betray me?

Was it from the get-go...

Forget it. You'd better keep your promise.

You said you'd get my sentence reduced.

I can count on you, right?

Yes, I keep my promises.

[Seoul Central District Detention Center]

[Seoul Central District Detention Center]

It's for Assemblyman Cho.

I hope he likes it.

I really didn't have to say a word.

Should I ask him to get Jang Il Hyun's sentence reduced?

Well, a promise is a promise. Why don't you ask him...

to knock off about a month?

I'll be off, then.

[Jin Dong Gu]

Hee Woo...

visited Jang Il Hyun with Director Han?

You're here.

Yes.

Yes, sir.

The investigation on Bando Bank.

I'd like an update on the case.

I'll head over right now.

Park Dae h* runs organizational silos,

and through a foreigner,

he's been obtaining lists of ill*gal immigrants who need ill*gal loans.

- A foreigner? - Yes.

It's to cut the tail off if things go wrong.

So,

Bando Bank gave out loans to these homeless people.

And that money went straight into Park Dae h*'s pocket?

It's still circumstantial. We've only confirmed the list.

Circumstantial evidence is based on fact.

You would fit right in when you go...

to the Supreme Prosecutors' Office with me.

Thank you.

- Do you have plans later? - No, sir.

Let's grab dinner together.

Yes, sir.

The self skin-care market is growing at a rapid rate.

We need to come up with technology that will set us apart globally.

What are the features of our new product?

We kept the consumer's convenience in mind...

by producing a simple tool.

So it's easy to use?

Exactly. Would you like to try for yourself?

Sure.

This would make skincare at home a breeze.

It is nice. Let's speed up the release date.

I'll tell the related department.

Also, please give me an overall report...

regarding product development from now on.

Let's wrap up the meeting then.

- Thank you. - Great job, everyone.

Director.

What is it?

This is the status report on stocks...

that was just uploaded on the FSC and KRX websites.

JQ Constructions' Managing Director Kim Young Il...

suddenly bought a huge amount of Chunha Holdings' shares.

What?

Five percent?

Yes, ma'am.

But JQ Constructions lacks funding.

Who is their source?

We found out they received a loan from Bando Bank.

Bando Bank?

If they purchased shares through a loan from Bando Bank,

I'm sure they're not on our side.

CEO Park Dae h*'s share is 15 percent.

If he manages to take over the remaining five percent...

from JQ Constructions,

then my brothers and I might lose control of the company.

While investigating, I found out about a few ill*gal loans...

that Bando Bank gave out to JQ Constructions.

Why don't we expose that?

No, it's too risky for us to expose it.

It's also the prosecution's job.

Please put together all the documents you've obtained.

Yes, ma'am.

[Hee Woo]

Aren't there plenty of restaurants in Seocho-dong?

Does it make you uncomfortable that we're going somewhere far?

Or is it strange that I'm driving you myself?

It's both.

It's because we're going somewhere both uncomfortable and important.

Do you know what my goal is if I become Prosecutor General?

You want to form a strong prosecution, right?

To be more exact,

I want one that is independent of politics.

But the only way I can obtain enough power to do that...

is by colluding with politicians.

You've met assemblyman Cho Tae Sub before, right?

- Yes, sir. - You left a good impression.

He asked to bring you along.

Don't talk until you meet him.

What's going on?

Did I fall for their scheme?

He's waiting inside.

It's been a while.

According to Chief Kim,

you're busy with a new case these days.

Tell me about the case.

If I tell the truth, Kim Seok Hoon will come for me.

But if I lie, Cho Tae Sub will do so too.

Don't be shy.

I can't lie, then that means...

My apologies. I respect you, sir,

but the information is classified. I can't reveal it to an outsider.

Oh, dear. How rude of me to ask.

Don't you agree, Chief Kim?

Yes, sir.

I called you two...

because I wanted to see Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo.

The future leader of the prosecutions.

I wanted to see your face and what kind of man you were.

Not to mention, I wanted to pour you a drink too.

Thank you, sir.

I know what you are feeling.

You must resent me.

I'm sure you think I'm weighing you against...

Chief Prosecutor Yoon Jong Gi.

It's been difficult recommending you to both parties.

Assemblyman Hwang Jin Yong's side is the biggest problem.

You know there's nothing I can do about them.

Then sir, what do you think about...

letting Hee Woo deal with Assemblyman Hwang?

Is this it?

Did they call me so they could get Assemblyman Hwang?

Don't underestimate Hwang Jin Yong.

I had a few opportunities to strip him of his titles,

but I held back.

An attack too aggressive could reveal my weakness too.

I understand, sir.

He's survived the harsh world of politics until now.

You'll have to rack your brains harder to go up against him.

I will try harder, sir.

But I think he will come in quite useful...

when it comes to taking down the small fries.

What do you say?

Do you think you're up for the task?

He's calling Kim Seok Hoon a small fry.

He's revealing his intentions to abandon him.

I will get them, sir.

Okay.

Have a drink too.

I know that wasn't easy. Good job.

- No problem, sir. - We're almost there.

We need to begin a new era for the prosecution.

An office that won't be swayed by the ruling government.

A fair and just era where only the law reigns.

The man is trying to become prosecutor general by kissing up.

He has no right to say that.

The assemblyman wants to see you.

I figured a few more drinks were in order. Don't you think?

- It's fine, sir. - You're more clever than I thought.

Was that a test earlier?

Yes, that's right.

I was curious.

I wanted to see what face you would put on...

in front of both Kim Seok Hoon and I.

You were bold as I expected. I like it.

I heard Director Han paid you a visit.

So? Are things going smoothly?

Yes, sir.

You'll have to be cautious.

Kim Seok Hoon catches on faster than you think.

I understand, sir.

Ta-Da.

Try this while you're waiting for Hee Woo.

It's our new menu. I hope it suits young people's tastes.

I know you like western food, Kyu Ri.

I thought long and hard to marry jjimdak with western food.

This is the menu I came up with.

I named it, "Dominate the World, Jjimdak".

Don't hold back on your comments.

Thank you, sir. It looks delicious.

My gosh. The sauce goes perfectly with the jjimdak.

Honey. I get a good feeling about this one too.

The last menu Kyu Ri praised became a hit too.

I think we have a connection.

I can't cook but I've got great taste.

The world is full of delicious food.

It's not a problem you can't cook, sweetie.

People might mistake her for your daughter-in-law.

You think so?

I wanted to be mistaken as their daughter.

To be honest, we need both.

What do you think about Hee Woo?

Hee Woo might seem stoic,

but he's actually sweet and kind. He's not bad.

Don't worry. She likes him.

Hey, Seung Hyuk.

That is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Like him as much as you want. Knock yourself out.

- No, that's not true. - All right.

- I'm here. - Welcome.

- Take a seat. - Your eldest son is here.

Hi, son. I've already prepared five portions of jjimdak.

- Sorry to keep you waiting so long. - It wasn't long.

What are you saying? We waited for over an hour and a half.

Anyway, what brings you here, Min Soo?

I came so that Hee Woo has an alibi.

An alibi?

With just the three of you, people will think you're conspiring.

But if I'm here, it becomes a friendly gathering.

What's going on? Are you being followed?

Yes.

But don't worry.

We can talk comfortably today thanks to Min Soo.

Here. I'll offer this as my fine for being late.

- Jang Il Hyun's confession. - What?

In order to forget the pain of Jeon Il Bo,

I've already taken it upon myself...

to investigate Executive Director Shin Dae Yong.

Please take extreme caution so that our paths don't overlap.

Yes, sir.

But the more I dig into this, the bigger it gets.

I think JQ Constructions will collapse.

No, it won't.

Only their higher-ups will change.

From a scumbag to a clean one.

- Park Sang Man. - What's up, sir?

Graduated from Hankuk University in Computer Engineering, top honours.

You received a scholarship for all four years.

You received scout offers from Korea's top companies.

But you rejected all of them.

You finally understand my worth.

Why is such an outstanding talent sticking with me?

Gosh, do I really have to tell you?

What is it? Tell me.

It's because I like you.

Thanks.

I'm more grateful.

You cleared my father's name.

All right then.

Shall we give you a job that will finally put your talent to use?

What is it?

Form a proper company.

Form a company?

Yes, an investment company.

No way. I never even worked at a company.

That's great then.

You can start now. As the CEO.

CEO? Are you serious?

We're going to take over JQ Constructions.

Buy as many of their shares as possible.

Hee Woo, are you mad? You seriously want me to run a company?

Yes. You minored in business management, didn't you?

Plus, you got really good grades.

You also enjoy business games.

Come on.

Studies and games are different from reality.

It is different. Reality might be easier.

Especially for you.

Hee Woo.

Get ready to take over.

CEO?

Prepare for a takeover?

Kim Seok Hoon will be out of the picture soon.

And JQ Constructions will also soon collapse.

Their financial structure is weak,

but it won't be an issue.

If DH Money succeeds in taking over...

- But you see... - Is there a problem?

- The thing is... - Say it.

If the prosecution starts investigating them,

we'll be in a pickle too.

What do you mean?

I heard Chief Prosecutor Kim was one of your trusted men.

So I helped his son...

You loaned him money?

Illegally?

Yes, sir.

Why did you do that?

It wasn't easy trying to find someone...

who could acquire a large amount of stock from Chunha Holdings.

The funds would've been tracked...

if we used someone with weak credentials.

Nor could I buy it myself.

That was why I used Kim Young Il...

Without reporting to me?

I made a grave mistake.

The situation was time-sensitive.

They needed money...

and we needed a name.

I thought it was a golden opportunity...

to acquire five percent of Chunha Holdings' shares.

Unbelievable.

They loaned a total of seven billion dollars.

Five billion of it went to Managing Director Kim Young Il.

Where was it used?

As CEO Park claimed, they used it to purchase Chunha Holdings' stocks.

- Also... - There's more?

Yes, sir.

It seems Kim Young Il used some of the money from the apartment sales.

Once the investigation starts,

we won't know how far the fire will spread.

Goodness.

Didn't I say it's not your concern?

But still. I should know what case Hee Woo is working on.

Or else I can't figure out his movement pattern...

So there's nothing special about his movement?

No, sir.

All right. Continue to keep a close eye on him.

Kim Hee Woo.

We need to talk.

Just as I predicted.

What is this?

I tailed you.

Don't be offended and let's not make this personal.

We're prosecutors.

- We just follow orders. - So?

Who ordered you to meet with Director Han and Il Hyun?

Was it Chief Kim?

Or Assemblyman Cho?

Answer this first. Was it Chief Kim...

or your idea...

to tail me?

It was the chief's order.

So it's me now.

He ended Il Hyun's career.

I see it's my turn this time.

I wonder who his next target will be?

Can you not see?

Chief Prosecutor Kim has no plans to take us along to the Supreme Office.

I'm sure it feels like dead weight.

His right-hand men, smeared with corruption.

I guess he decided he'll have to cut us out before his promotion...

so that he can become a clean prosecutor general.

So...

Who ordered you to meet Il Hyun?

Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub.

Stop wasting your time tailing me.

You better pick the right side.

The decision is up to you.

I'll get going then.

What do you mean you have a case for me?

A greedy pig got its paws on Chunha Group.

[Status Report on Shareholders with More Than Five Percent]

Gosh. How dare he covet Chunha?

Kim Young Il is indeed a greedy man.

He openly bought five percent of Chunha Holdings' shares.

After the late chairman passed away,

you and your brothers were distracted, and he used that.

He probably won't have any chance to buy our shares if not now.

But where do you think he got this kind of money?

From my investigation of JQ Constructions,

they are running out of liquid assets.

Bando Bank.

It was a special loan.

You can review the investment documents and accounting files.

Then you will find evidence that...

the bank didn't do a thorough review...

before giving out the loan.

Given JQ Constructions' credit ratings,

you'll see this kind of loan is impossible.

Right.

Thanks, Hee A.

- Really? - Yes.

I really needed this.

I'm glad.

I was worried that I might be putting you on the spot.

I can get to the bottom of the truth...

But you don't have the right to punish them.

So you came to me.

Right.

I'll use it well.

You'll find out soon how helpful you have been.

Hey. I should get going. See you later.

See you.

JQ Constructions is in bed with Bando Bank?

Yes.

I'm getting so jittery.

Look at the scale of this case.

He was going to use Bando Bank to further his career,

but it got mixed up with his son's company.

It definitely backfired.

Chief Prosecutor Kim will be pretty shocked.

I bet he didn't know.

The problem is Cho Tae Sub's next move.

[Director Han Ji Hyun]

Stop investigating JQ Constructions.

- Pardon? - It's the assemblyman's wish.

- Okay. - The assemblyman said...

he will not forget all the hard work...

you put in so far.

Okay.

I relayed the message.

How did he react?

- He sounded calm. - He sounded calm?

- He didn't even ask? - No.

He sounded calm.

He stopped the investigation as we expected.

But it's not over until it really is.

He's running late. He should be here by now.

Is someone else joining us?

I brought my homework.

You're here.

Why do you look so surprised?

Am I not allowed to come here?

All right. The confession recording file...

of Executive Director Shin Dae Yong, responsible for corruption in Gusan.

- Good work. - Sure.

All right. You guys have been working day and night.

There are prosecutors who have been sharpening their knives in silence.

It's time for all of you to shine.

Kyu Ri.

I'll send you...

the confession recording file of Executive Director Shin Dae Yong.

Check it.

And it's go time.

[Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office]

Come on in, Prosecutor Km.

[Investigation Report on Suspicions in JQ Constructions]

So you and Prosecutor Gu put together this case.

Yes, sir.

I believe our organization needs a prosecutor like you.

That way, our people can put their faith in us.

Well, do you think...

you can see through what you started?

Yes, sir. Of course.

Then go ahead.

Report to me regarding the investigation status.

Yes, sir. I will.

What?

Do you know who I am?

The third generation of a rich family, Kim Young Il.

The son of Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon.

You're a person of interest for now, but you'll be a suspect soon.

The law is fair...

to all.

Sir.

What's going on?

The Eastern District Prosecutors' Office...

arrested Managing Director Kim Young Il of JQ Constructions.

- On what grounds? - Taking out an ill*gal loan...

and embezzling the housing funds.

- Get Yoon Jong Gi in here. - Yes, sir.

Okay.

They got Kim Young Il.

- Okay. - Yes!

The arrest warrant will be issued soon, right?

Won't the prosecutors...

in the Eastern District be in danger?

If the problem behind the loan they took out arises,

Park Dae h* will be in the limelight too.

Right. Park Dae h* used to be a gangster.

They will be fine.

- Yeon Seok. - Yes.

I want you to protect Kyu Ri and Seung Hyuk starting tomorrow.

- But don't let anyone find out. - Okay.

Sang Min. Call me right away if you think you're in danger.

Okay.

[Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon]

That jerk, Yoon Jong Gi!

Darn him. Come on.

Darn it.

[Director Han Ji Hyun]

The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.

The timing isn't ideal.

Release Kim Young Il of JQ Constructions.

Why? Are you upset?

Well, it's not exactly a nice feeling.

Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok Hoon...

is lacking to be the leader of the prosecutors.

That's not up to you to decide.

Please take a look and make your decision.

[Investigation Report on Suspicions in JQ Constructions]

This matter is too severe to cover up.

According to the investigation, done by my prosecutors...

- So what? - Pardon?

I didn't call you here...

to talk about the appointment of the Prosecutor General.

I called you here regarding the JQ Constructions case.

Can't you see?

I don't like stubborn dogs.

You can go now.

You already knew about the case.

Do you think Chief Prosecutor Yoon...

will cover up the JQ Constructions case?

He will. He doesn't have any other choice.

The problem isn't the chief prosecutor.

It's the two prosecutors in charge of the case.

They are very tenacious and don't compromise.

How noisy.

- They are bothering me. - I'll take care of them.

Okay.

Something is off.

Bando, JQ Constructions,

and Hwang Jin Yong.

Now, Yoon Jong Gi as well?

It's like someone is reading my moves ahead...

and getting in my way.

Should I go along?

Or...

Or...

- Stop the investigation? - Don't ask me anything.

Just do what I say. It's an order.

Get out.

I'm sorry.

But I'm a prosecutor.

Kim Kyu Ri.

What is this?

I need to be somewhere right now.

Are you crazy?

Where do you think you're going after what just happened?

We have a witness.

- A witness? - It's a civil servant...

from the JQ Constructions' corruption case.

The witness kept dodging my calls, but now, the witness wants to meet.

The witness wants to testify.

We can keep Kim Young Il here with the testimony.

Okay.

I'll stall time here. Make sure to bring the witness here.

Okay.

There he comes.

Yeon Seok, I'll follow Prosecutor Gu.

You stay here and keep an eye on Kyu Ri.

Okay.

[Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo]

Hey, Sang Man.

Hee Woo. I followed Prosecutor Gu's car here.

But something is off.

What do you mean?

We're in Gusan now.

This is an empty carpenter's shop.

Really?

- At this hour? - Yes.

Okay.

Is this the place?

The number you dialled does not exist.

Please check and try again.

Prosecutor Gu.

Who are you?

Why don't you stop investigating the JQ Constructions case?

- What? - Telling me that you'll stop...

isn't so hard.

If you give me your word, I will let you go unharmed.

I won't listen to your nonsense. Do you think a thug can scare me?

A thug? Do you think I'm a mere thug?

I'll give you time to decide.

You may die here.

I hope you will make a wise decision.

Hee Woo.

A guy in a black suit is talking to Prosecutor Gu.

Sir.

I came here because I needed to sort things out.

Chief Prosecutor Kim, it's time to decide now.

I'm sorry.

If you made your decision, I will accept it without objections.

You'll accept it without objections?

I will.

You take it.

- Pardon? - The Prosecutor General title.

Your name will be engraved on the nameplate...

of the next Prosecutor General.

Don't worry about your son. I'll take care of it.

Isn't this funny?

I'm trying to help you.

But you are trying to pull me back. You know?

Bando Bank.

I would like to hear your excuse.

- Sir. - Seok Hoon.

I hope this is the last time you ever test me.

Don't cross the line.

I told you many times.

I will let you reach your limit.

Make sure I never have to repeat myself again.

I'll keep that in mind.

As of today,

I will forget your past mistakes.

But let's clear one thing up.

What do you think of Chief Prosecutor Yoon Jong Gi?

Stabbing a colleague in the back...

to become the Prosecutor General.

It is indeed ridiculous.

But Seok Hoon, Yoon Jong Gi is standing in the way of your future.

You get rid of him.

I will silence the mouth...

of the righteous prosecutor.

This is your last chance.

Tell me you will stop.

What's the point of bringing justice and following the law?

You need to live first.

If you can't speak, just nod your head.

Like a dog.

What if I tell you I will stop the investigation,

but I keep investigating the case?

It doesn't matter.

A submissive dog isn't threatening.

Too bad.

I'm not a dog. I'm a prosecutor.

That only leaves me to k*ll you.

This is a perfect mixture of alcohol and methamphetamine.

Tomorrow morning, the world will remember you...

as a corrupt and drug-addicted prosecutor...

who committed suicide.

Hey.

You still haven't changed your playbook.

That's too outdated. It's boring.

Who are you?

Is that important right now?

I asked who you were.

Someone who knows you very well.

Have we met before?

Yes.

And I died at your hands.

You have mistaken me for someone else.

I had never failed.

Right. You didn't fail.

I just resurrected like a miracle.

I was gravely wronged and furious.

So even death grazed past me.

How funny.

Then I expect you to do the same again.

Are you dense?

If that was the case, I wouldn't have gotten involved.

You jerk!

[Again My Life]

"When the fight begins, think only about winning."

I need to give a signal to Cho Tae Sub.

You might be in danger.

Tell him that a rich lady wants to invest in JQ Constructions...

and she's waiting for his call.

Perhaps, that unidentified attacker...

could be working for you.

Kim Seok Hoon is the bait.

You crossed the line.

I'm the only one who can measure up...

- A comment, please! - Any statements, sir?

to Kim Hee Woo.

I won't go easy on you this time.
