If you elect me as your class president,
I'll be nice to you all
Presidential Election Candidates KANG Chul-joong / KIM Jong-ki and the teachers...
I will work for the class as hard as I can...
and do anything to make our school life better.
- And whenever you are in trouble, - I always respected teachers,
- I will be there for you. - Didn't tease the girls,
and got good grades,
so it worked out perfectly,
That's how I was elected class president,
Believe me. You won't regret your decision.
Thank you everyone.
Crush the bastard!
But I learned about the harsh reality,,,
that, however cruel it may be,
power is what rules the world,,,
when I was just 14,
- Hey, quick, outside! - What?
Those punks from Buk-won are on their way!
Let's go kill 'em!
Afraid? You sons of bitches!
Forget them, they are just bookworms! Let's go.
Shit!
Get down you little bastards!
You wanna act like thugs!
Then I'll treat you as one!
That's our school's tradition.
- Understand? - Yes, sir.
- Louder! - Yes, sir.
Mr. KIM!
What do you think you're doing?
- You know what happened last... - Listen up!
There's an innocent student here.
He was forced to get involved!
Find him, now!
HAN Sang-woo
HAN Sang-woo!
Come up here.
- Are you hurt anywhere, son? - I'm all right, sir.
What a relief!
Don't be jealous of him.
Just study hard, and get into a good college!
You have no money and no power!
Fucking punks!
No matter how hard I studied, and worked my ass off,
I could do only what's left for me to do,
We put in the same amount of everything,
but were treated totally differently,
It was as if we were playing the same game,
but with different rules for each of us,
And the moment, I realized this,
I became an adult,
ANOTHER PUBLIC ENEMY
Move your eyebrows up and down,
If you smile with just your mouth,
people will feel like you're just patronizing them,
So smile with both your mouth and eyes,
- Are you ready, "Cheese"! - Oh, damn traffic, "Cheese"!
- One more time, "Cheese"! - Cheese~
- Damn traffic sucks, - It works great, just think 'ee'
- but I do "cheese"! - At the end of every sentence,
Let's try an example, "Good morning(ee),"
Cheese.
Remember, you shouldn't actually
- make the sound 'ee' with your voice, - Oh God, I'm late.
I'm in big trouble.
Next, let's practice beautiful morning greetings, shall we?
Hi!
Stake out for 4 nights? And you're supposed to be a prosecutor?
Yes, I'm KANG Chul-joong, a Criminal Prosecutor.
"Cheese", it's what you're going to say next, right?
Right.
- Hand over your ID. - What for?
You're going to be reassigned as a detective.
You just love to stake out, right?
Sir.
The meeting is taking place an hour ahead of schedule.
Really?
Hi!
Why don't you do me a favor, just be a prosecutor.
Yes, sir.
Oh man!
- Hi! How's it going? - Fine, just fine.
Good morning. What's up?
Well, I guess you could say
something's up, or not.
What do you mean?
Mr. Prosecutor.
Something special is up.
Not for me.
You're going to love it.
Love what?
Right,
we take full responsibility for what happened at the Palace Club.
Snake picked a fight with the Double knife and...
he didn't mean to,
but accidentally crushed their heads in.
It's true, but it was a mistake.
So what?
I admit to the charges of property damage.
That bastard said I blackmailed him, didn't he?
Well, I admit it... I'd be lying if I said I didn't.
Was it an order from Antenna?
Cover the 3 gang joint hit; Big Daddy, Insane Crip...
Just admit to the job at the Palace.
Is it what he said?
No way!
It's been ages since I saw the boss, Antenna.
I really miss him.
Haven't seen him since the World Cup!
The World cup?
We just feel bad about what we did,
don't get the wrong idea.
Check the visitors' list to see if Antenna came to see them. If not...
See if there've been any visits from the 35 year-old Young-kyu...
30, Seung-hwan, 29, Han-sol,
and the next one born in 1980,
Yong-wook... 24, Ki-hyun...
One of them must've given the order.
Bring the bastard and Antenna in.
Combine the Palace case
with the 3 gangs case, got it?
What?
Sir?
Dismissed.
Han-sol, son of a!
He's even younger than me?
Seung-hwan, that fuck, he's younger than me!
You idiots! That's not the point.
We fully admitted to what we did,
and so, what's this all about?
You know what? That's just his style.
A 2-month investigation down the toilet
and you're starting from scratch again?
Of course,
cheer up.
This is office 1114.
Okay, wait a moment, sir.
Prosecutor, on line 2.
Hello, this is Prosecutor JOH
Where've you been? I haven't seen you forever!
Lunch?
No, thanks. Never again! No, thanks. I'm through!
Hey, buddy!
Come on let's have lunch.
If not, your secretary won't feel easy about going out to lunch.
Alright, let's go.
20,000 won, sir.
He's got it, miss.
How much?
Hey.
You think you're done after finishing your meal?
There's a thing called 'paying the bill', you know.
That's YOUR job.
Says who? We get paid the same!
How's your father-in-law doing anyway?
He didn't have lunch, and why do you ask?
He's got 5 buildings, he's rich.
And he'd be disappointed to find out
that you've been acting so stingy.
Right, you know what, we smokers are losing all of our rights.
It's so irritating to go to smoking rooms and run into our bosses...
and it's up to us to clean out the ashtrays, right?
- In-soo, - Uh?
What should we have for dinner?
God's asked me to start fasting from tonight, hallelujah!
I love every inch of this field, the grass, the holes...
I've been in love with
this golf course since your father was alive.
But I'm curious.
About what?
Mr. AHN, a member of the board, is obviously against the deal.
He hasn't shown any sign of his intentions of giving in.
As the chief director, it's my decision to make, for the good of the foundation.
He has to respect my decisions, right?
Don't think I was born yesterday.
Why don't you come clean?
How much was the pay off?
I've got no idea about what you're talking about.
Oh, really?
This deal needs the board's approval,
but the other director doesn't show.
Even if I pay now,
the ownership title won't come for another 2 months.
And you need me to keep this deal a secret until then!
It's my understanding that
you've agreed on all the terms.
Sure, that's why this is a good buy for me.
You know what?
I got a feeling you and I have a lot in common.
You understand that if Mr. AHN doesn't sign,
it loses all effect.
Sure.
And if it falls through, you're going to owe 15 billion won, right?
I understand that.
Did you sign it?
Sure, you just watched me sign them.
Now... it's all done.
Okay, well, I'll take good care of...
You live off the waste I throw out,
and have the nerve to play games with me?
Guess that means you're willing to bet your life on it?
What did I do? Don't do this... please sir.
If you have any thoughts about revenge,
you'd better be sure to kill me.
The only thing is, if you don't get the job done,
You'll regret surviving today forever.
What? Stop this!
Sorry for not leaving any marks.
So don't even think about getting
medical reports, got it?
Sorry for the short notice.
No problem, sir.
This is big time, going after the 3 biggest gangs.
Yes, sir.
It's been 30 hours...
since we leaked the information
about our raids on the three gangs.
Right about now, those bastards
must be on their way out.
We move at 19:30...
and we're looking at arresting 20 of their leaders.
But 3 gangs combined,
this fight would be one of the fiercest ever.
Did you check the weapons?
Yes, sir.
Detective PARK, how is your newborn baby?
I'm happy to say she's just like her mother.
Congratulations. Detective OH!
Your mother was hospitalized, how is she?
She's fine, back at home now.
Give her my best.
If everything goes well,
you'll all be seeing a generous bonus.
For baseball bats and clubs,
defend yourselves with your body.
But for the any kind of knives...
you have every right to fire at will.
I won't sit back and
watch my men bleed to death for the gangsters' human rights.
And I'll take full responsibility for everything. Understand?
Yes, sir.
Dismissed.
Attention, salute!
What the? Go warn the boss.
- It's the cops, sir. - What?
Son of a bitch, those sneaky bastards.
Move your ass!
Big Daddy, Insane Crip and Antenna. Alright, they're all here.
I'll arrest them, sir.
- Suk-shin! - Yes, sir.
Give them hell.
Yes, sir.
Stop them.
Fucking Bitches.
I'll kill whoever the rat was!
Kill this dog! Fuckers!
What's going on?
Put down your knives, you sons of bitches!
I'm the Criminal Prosecutor of Seoul DPO.
If you're a prosecutor, then I'm a judge, asshole.
Put down your weapons, now!
Hey!
I'm getting tired of this fake gun show.
You've seen this on TV before, right?
The first 3 were blanks, but not from here on out!
Any one of you wanna give me a try?
You?
How about you?
If you resist till the end, we'll treat you just as gang leaders are.
But if you behave, it'll be nice and easy for you.
It means, if you want to be a tough guy, you'll get over 15 years.
But if you're cooperative, less than a year, got it?
Everybody down.
I said, down!
It's fantastic, isn't it?
Mr. Vice President, it is an honor to have you here.
It's an honor to be here for you, son.
It's a great pleasure.
Would you please look at the camera, sir?
Recipients of the 1st Myung-sun Golf Scholarship I have the honor of introducing
Recipients of the 1st Myung-sun Golf Scholarship our outstanding young golfers,
who will be Korea's next sports diplomats.
Let's give them a big hand!
Attention, salute!
These promising young golfers have been selected as Korea's best,
and will be on their way to
the US to develop their great potential.
Look at these fine young men, and proudly remember them.
In 10 years, they'll be Korea's
most active representatives to the world.
Let's give Mr. HAN
of the Myung-sun Foundation a big hand.
Reckless raids conducted by a city prosecutor resulted in...
22 casualties
and 8.2 million won in property damages.
The prosecutor began firing his weapon,
although unprovoked to do so...
I changed my mind, you should've been a stuntman.
I killed about 20 birds with one stone.
Great! I got 20 formal complaints about
your use of excessive measures.
- Calm down, sir. - Do you know what the law is?
- Let's have dinner. - I already did!
Is it really that much fun
to be in charge of all the city's detectives?
- I'll pay. - No, thanks.
And alcohol too.
Chul-joong!
Do you think I'm always joking?
I know you're not. I'll write letters of explanation.
Hey, Chul-joong!
Dinner and alcohol?
Don't think that this one meal is going to make up for everything.
More beef?
And this bottle too! It's been empty for years.
Hey, can we have one more bottle?
Hey, this is for you. Keep it on 24 hours a day.
Is it a gift?
As long as you have that on you,
I can track wherever you are, look!
It's so cool.
Hey, look at this!
It's on the crime division's official property list.
So if you lose it or turn it off,
Myung-sun Golf Scholarship Launched you'll be charged,
Myung-sun Golf Scholarship Launched understand?
HAN believes that we should send more young golfers abroad,
as a positive step towards the true globalization of sports,
- You know him? - I owe that bastard a lot.
You owe him?
He taught me all about the cruel ways of money and power,
which is why I studied so hard to be a prosecutor.
Oh, I get it now. Your impure motives
get you in trouble all the time.
- You need to think of the public first! - Sir!
Public Servants' moral charter, Prosecutors' charter,
Public servants' civil service code
and Prosecutors' civil service code...
The public servants' newly amended 5 articles.
Do you remember them by heart?
What?
I read it a million times,
excluding numbers, commas, periods, and parenthesis...
it consists of 2881 words.
Do you want me to recite all of it to you?
I'm the purest and most moral prosecutor working for the Seoul DPO.
Now do you get it?
Hey, I never said you weren't.
Hello, where's our alcohol!
Mr. AHN was here,
Out he stepped out for dinner.
- You can step out for dinner, too. - No, thank you, sir.
Yes, sir.
How impressive it was of AHN caring for you,
instead of showing up to the ceremony!
Well, it's always been that way.
I've always known how much father and Mr. AHN loved you.
It's because you're so arm hearted and kind...
but you were always soo soft for big business.
It's Mr. HAN Sang-joon's room!
Doctor!
Monitoring.
- 68~70 - O2 Pull.
Airway Keep.
Prepare the Epinephrine.
It looks like he'll be recovering for a few days.
Oh, I see.
What I don't understand is how it happened so suddenly.
It was instant shock, due to a lack of oxygen.
I see. Thank you doctor.
You're so desperate too see him dead, aren't you?
What are you talking about?
Don't think that you can get everything you want.
You sold schools to line your pocket...
It's a work of years of your father
and grandfather's sweat and blood!
You didn't see the news?
My plan is to raise internationally competitive golfers.
They should be trained
in the same country as the PGA.
What a joke! What are going to raise?
I'm going to be blunt.
You want to pocket the money
and put it to your selfish use, right?
Watch your mouth!
Every single cent belongs to Myung-sun, not you!
I am the owner of the foundation.
Temporarily.
If your brother regains his consciousness...
lf!
If he... comes to...
He'll be the chief director.
But if Sang-joon doesn't make it, I'll reveal the truth.
I'll disclose every little corrupt thing
you've done to the world.
When your father decided to take that trip with you...
I should've told him not to go.
Don't you remember, he died of a heart attack?
You're saying all these have been coincidences?
Your father died and 2 weeks later,
your brother is in a mysterious car crash!
Mr. AHN...
Take care of yourself.
How is everything going?
I'm paying you to do a job, idiot!
What a nice car you have, sir.
But you know it isn't nice to litter.
You shouldn't throw your cigarette on the road like this, and...
What's worse is that it could cause a fire.
Would you be more careful please?
Don't take it the wrong way,
you know, you're my son's age, so...
You made a big mistake, old worthless shit!
You said more than you deserve.
Sir!
Still riding a bike to work, huh?
Stop envying me already
and come join the world of riders.
I'm just surprised to see a youngster
like you obeying the helmet law.
Oh, once a prosecutor, always a prosecutor!
But your "hi" knows no law, right?
Wanna grab lunch?
Hello, sir!
- Who is that? - Well...
My instincts say it's not a suspect
nor is it a family member.
He's speaking extremely polite,
more than usual, which means...
It's a very respected person.
Another possibility is that...
Why don't we just go to lunch, without bothering Mr. JOH.
He'll be sad, then.
Hey, JOH, let's go...
There's nothing further in this case to investigate.
Do you mean that you've done everything you possibly can?
Come on.
Are you implying that I'm making a fuss out of nothing?
Oh, God, show me some respect!
Either reopen it or close it, one or the other, you know.
Playing with that pen won't help.
I feel stuck in between.
I closed the case after doing all
I could do, but he's so stubborn, so...
Who is he? Friend of your father?
Uncle?
No, my high school teacher.
He's on the board of the schools' foundation,
and the chief director was in a car accident and put in a coma.
He wants the case to be reinvestigated.
Car accident?
Motorbikes were involved and...
But this is the key...
he insists the victim's younger brother must've set it up.
What makes him think so?
Well, since then, he's been involved
in a few entrepreneurial projects.
And Mr. AHN doesn't like it.
But to try to kill his own brother,
is going a bit too far!
What's got into you?
Huh... Oh, nothing special.
Oh, drop it!
You never put your nose in something, without having a reason to.
Don't get the wrong idea, I'm busy with other cases.
Anyway, let's grab lunch. You buy this time!
Why me? Did your father-in-law go broke?
Oh lord!
I'm fine, not hungry.
Alright, I'll pay, let's go.
Where did you say you graduated from?
Myung-sun High...
Let's eat.
Hello, Tae-sung, sorry for calling late.
Yeah, right.
When's the alumni reunion?
Stop kidding, I was there!
What an asshole he is!
Excuse me.
Hey, you made it!
You look so different!
You've changed a lot, Mr. Stiff Prosecutor?
What the hell is going on here?
Isn't a simple dinner is enough? What's all this?
Is this the latest trend or something?
Think about all their positions in society.
All this is after we cut the budget
because of the recession.
If not?
Hey, relax. Just enjoy yourself.
You're a special guest today.
Sang-woo is excited to see you,
being a prosecutor.
- Excuse me for a moment. - Sure.
How many nights have I waited, crying and sighs
You know, I have a great social network!
It's great to see you!
- You've changed a lot. - He hasn't changed a bit.
And 'His Royal Highness Sang-woo'... looks the same.
Hey, you remember my nickname?
Wow, you even have the brains of a prosecutor.
Didn't you get good grades in school?
He announced his decision to become
a prosecutor in junior high.
He had brains,
but not the grades to show for it.
Sorry, I don't remember you well,
we were not in the same class!
Looks like there're some late comers.
Excuse me.
We were in the same class, 1st year 3rd class, 2nd year 7th, 3rd year 1st.
1st year, my student number was 44th, yours 56th.
2nd year, 45th and 57th.
3rd year, 42nd and 59th.
I'm really sorry about that.
I heard you were a prosecutor
so I wanted to give you a good impression.
But it looks like I screwed it up. It's good to see you anyways.
Your brother was injured in a car accident, right?
Never mind, it was a year ago.
Doesn't matter how long it's been,
we still have to arrest the criminal.
Criminal?
You mean to say that it wasn't just an accident?
We're still working on it, so nothing's absolutely certain yet.
Funny! The victim's only brother is enjoying a party, forgetting it all...
While even Mr. AHN is busy working hard to reveal the hidden truth, if any.
I thought you wanted to discuss the matter, but actually I guess not.
Mr. AHN...
he is practically family to us.
Anyhow, please take care of this case.
HAN's been married to Jennifer HONG for 7 years.
He has a 5-year-old child.
His wife and kid are in America now.
Just 2 weeks after father died,
his brother winds up in a comma, due to an accident.
And his wife and kid in America...
He has a secretary and a driver that accompanies him to official functions.
He also has a guy who sticks
to him like a shadow at all times.
All the time?
He works and looks like a bodyguard...
and also drives for HAN on his personal trips.
They live in the same house.
He's an actual bodyguard!
Rich people enjoy those kinds of luxuries.
Mr. Park, find out everything about his social networks.
Especially in the political and financial fields.
And what's Mr. Shadow's name?
SONG Jung-hoon.
How's the Pajoo case going?
There's still one guy who isn't talking.
You said the same thing last week, remember?
Sorry, sir.
And the whereabouts of his girlfriend?
No sign of her anywhere.
Keep digging till you come up with something, anything.
And the PDA case?
I need an approval for a new priority case.
I just want to know about the PDA case, nothing else for now.
Have you heard about the Myung-sun Foundation?
Chul-joong!
You're still here?
You either envy my office or my job?
Sir.
JOH already did everything he could.
Yes, Sir.
Then what is it?
There's something suspicious about the accidents...
And then the selling of the 50-year legacy of foundation...
- You know what I mean? - No!
I need your approval.
Your gut tells you that
this is a priority case, right?
Yes, sir.
And you're asking me to come up with
a report to get approval from the top
by making the best use of my imagination, right?
Yes, sir.
Look at this guy!
Alright, let's do it. I've already gotten used to this.
But you need to answer one thing.
If HAN wasn't your long time rival,
would you do this?
Come on!
You need to answer, "I would do it regardless".
It's not personal at all.
I only work to maintain the justice.
Don't you have the guts to improvise?
How come you're so clumsy at that?
I can't lie.
My entire motivation is based on the fact that
I know him too well. He's able to play good guy,
bad guy, switching in and out just like that.
But I can't pretend to be something that I'm not.
How impressive, man!
But remember to make sure
all this pays off, alright?
Yes, sir!
We got approval.
Dig up everything
about the family members related to Myung-sun,
their financial records, and real estate holdings.
Yes, sir.
For cash flow,
get the Financial Supervisory Service to help.
And did we call Mr. AHN in yet?
He'll be here tomorrow.
Call him to confirm the meeting.
Yes, sir.
A single minute can decide a win or a loss.
Don't waste a single minute.
Yes, sir.
- This is huge! - What is?
It could be the biggest case of his career.
I don't think so.
This HAN is a real big shot,
on magazines, talk shows, you name it...
He even got an award from the Ministry of Education.
That's exactly the point!
Cases about filthy criminals aren't shocking.
My hunch tells me that there's something
really big here.
Great! We're a perfect team.
That's exactly what we need.
A prosecutor and a detective act based on hunches and guts!
A hunch and a gut in the name of justice are good enough,
isn't it?
Myung-sun Foundation...
I understand, sure.
I will be there on time.
Was it the prosecutors' office?
Honey, I don't want you to go there.
What do you mean?
Sang-woo is like a son to us.
It's heart breaking to do something against him.
Why don't you talk to him one more time?
I have, and it didn't work out!
I've got to stop him, or he'll cross the line.
You paid students' tuitions for them,
and even held charity events for poor students.
A cold- hearted bastard like you
won't understand that, ever!
Cold- hearted bastard?
What do you mean?
You won't lift a finger
to do anything unless any profit is made for you.
Does it hurt to hear the truth?
I don't have anything more to discuss with you. We're through!
That's fine, I do is my business...
and you take your fucking righteous heart with you to the grave.
Are you trying to threaten me into signing?
No, I'm not. I don't need to bother.
It's much easier to forge your signature after you're dead.
No, Sang-woo!
I see, we'll wait then.
As soon as he gets in touch,
give me a call, thank you.
AHN wants to drop the case.
Was it him on the phone?
No, his wife.
He settled the matters and went on a trip.
- Did you try his cell phone? - He didn't take it with him.
What did he mean anyway?
He wants everything back as if
nothing ever happened.
Find Mr. AHN at all cost, he's the key.
This isn't a regular criminal investigation.
Hi, JOH, can I have a word with you?
I'll be there.
We can proceed with this case, even without an accuser,
just move faster.
You're still here? It's almost time.
For what?
We have to leave now.
To where?
It's Hanwoori Law Firm's opening day today.
So what?
Your clever mind doesn't function
for these types of affairs?
Why am I supposed to be there for the opening of a law firm?
You know, the lawyers are
all former chief criminal prosecutors!
And?
Our boss is going there,
so we need to show up so that he doesn't lose face.
I'm not going.
Come on, don't be that way!
This prosecutor's cocktail is the best.
You haven't changed a bit!
Whenever I make this cocktail,
I feel like I'm a prosecutor again.
But see, I'm a lawyer, you're prosecutors, way above me!
No way!
But whenever there're cases that are connected,
we can see each other.
Sure.
Alright, let's toast!
I have one ready.
I made it myself, but it's quite a cheerful one.
- For the love of... - Prosecutors!
Oh, I like that, "for the love."
For the love!
But remember, too much alcohol isn't good for your health.
Yet working day and night
nonstop makes you drink.
We know because we went through the same thing.
We learned how to drink from seniors like you.
But make sure to take care of your wife, however busy you are.
They'll get their revenge the moment you retire.
But now you're a lawyer,
which means she'll love you even more, right?
Well, I hope so.
Are you working on the Myung-sun case?
Yes, sir.
Let me pour for you.
Yes, sir.
The new head of Myung-sun is really something!
Such a promising young businessman...
He has high aspirations and tremendous drive.
He belongs to the future generation.
And his efforts are towards globalization.
Prosecutors need to be flexible
in keeping with the new age.
It's what your generation...
- You're KANG Chul-joong, right? - Yes, sir.
Chul-joong, it's your duty.
Isn't that right, Mr. KIM?
I know it's exhausting, but hang in there.
Yes, sir.
Dismissed.
At last, the meeting is over!
Having such long meetings is really a pain.
Have a seat.
Unless I come here, I'd never get a chance to see you.
You criminal prosecutors are always
so busy fighting crime.
Did you hear the unfortunate story?
What?
It's about a certain District Prosecutor's office...
that pushed too hard
in a case against a celebrity
who turned out to be innocent in the end.
He was just a hard working businessman, but...
one particular prosecutor decided to pursue
the man out of pure spite.
Hey, between us,
everyone has a skeleton in the closet!
But how ridiculous is it that all this energy was put into a case...
that just turned out to be someone's personal vendetta.
All the prosecutors wound up losing respect.
Do you have any idea who this stupid prosecutor is?
Don't have a clue.
I just wanted you to know this story, it being a criminal case.
Hey, Mr. KIM!
No, no don't get up.
Take it easy, fellas. Have some refreshments.
CHOI, you're taking on 300 cases a month, right?
Yes, sir.
Aren't you working on the comedian's copyright case?
Come on, don't waste your time. They'll drop the case soon.
Yes?
PARK, you're handling the dispute...
between the shopping center managers and the tenants, right?
Do you actually believe they're
not going to drop that case? Come on!
Hey, Mr. KIM! What the hell do you think you're doing?
Hey, good luck to you.
Democracy's weakness is that...
it's possible to become
a politician based solely on one's popularity.
But you're a real public servants armed with integrity.
You're born politicians, disregarding the mean public.
There's even a saying, fate decides who'll attain money and power.
Nice putt!
So, as fate would have it, there'll be nothing in your way.
Who is it that vowed to expose
the true link between money & power?
Never mind, politicians pursuing this course,
wind up off stage in no time.
You take care of the party from the inside...
and keep doing what's right for the country. What a tiring job!
Me too, I'm sick of people putting their noses into my business.
Good shot!
Awesome!
How is it going with the media investigation?
It's going fine, no problems, sir.
I don't think so.
Yes?
If HAN's challenging project isn't on TV,
it's their neglect of duty!
Sure, sir. I'll take care of that.
Thank you.
Well with that... Mr. HAN!
You don't have to worry about anything but your business.
Thank you, sir.
Let's go.
Myung-sun HAN Sang-woo / AHN Hyo-joon HAN Sang-joon / missing 1 week
I bet you got the search warrant, didn't you?
No, I didn't even apply for it.
Why?
The deputy chief prosecutor didn't sign it.
What?
Sir!
What's up?
About the search warrant.
I didn't approve it.
Sir!
There're a bunch of others out there to catch.
We don't have time for that.
Our caseload is too great as it is.
A car accident like this is nothing.
It's not just a car accident that's at stake here.
You sound like it's personal for you.
What do you mean, sir?
Don't you get it?
Actually, you sound like it's personal.
You sound like it's more favorable to you to...
What?
You need to learn to watch your mouth!
Mr. KANG!
I apologize, sir.
Go back to your office.
Sorry, but excuse us for a moment.
What a disgrace he is!
I see the kind of trouble he's always causing.
Why is it that such a sharp mind doesn't know when to quit?
Right, he doesn't know when to quit,
when it comes to something suspicious.
What?
He even resorts to paying
witnesses for information.
He's always ready to risk his life
if it's in pursuit of a criminal.
That's his weakest quality.
So I support him, so as not to lose him, sir.
Look at you!
You're his boss and you're actually taking his side?
Isn't it your job to teach him how to behave himself!
I was told my job is to protect my men...
not to ever succumb to threats from anyone,
and to focus on the cases.
Didn't you learn to watch your mouth?
If I'm busy watching my mouth and being afraid of the consequences...
then I wouldn't be working for the sake of justice,
but for paying my damn bills.
The Chief Public Prosecutor is coming.
I apologize.
I'm KANG Chul-joong Prosecutor of the Criminal DPT.
Using the urgent memo was the only way
I could get you all here.
I apologize again.
Former chief director of Myung-sun died
last year of a heart attack
and HAN Sang-joon, his first son, was his successor.
But he was put in a coma just 2 weeks after his inauguration.
His brother HAN Sang-woo is now in the control
of the foundation.
And suspicious events have taken place since his taking over.
He has sold off its schools and property
one by one, since then...
including 7 kindergartens, 5 elementary schools...
3 high schools, and 2 colleges.
In addition, 2 golf courses, a gymnasium, and a hospital.
The money has flown out of the country
for the founding of a golf school in the U.S.
We officially calculated the total to be 500 billion won.
This clearly exceeds the legal amount
- one person is allowed to transmit... - That guy makes a lot of trouble,
involving in any priority cases.
Under the guise of founding a golf school...
Do you actually know what you're doing?
You abuse your public power, for the sake of your personal case!
Keep going!
If you can't present the facts about a case,
there's no point in being a prosecutor?
And the golf course deal in America was conducted...
under the name of HAN Sang-woo.
Which means, if HAN does his own personal business
with the golf course...
no law can prohibit him from doing so.
In conclusion, these funds could be
flowing out of the country...
under the false protection of education,
the media, and political celebrity.
A director on the board of Myung-sun,
who devoted his life to it, came to us...
to ask us to investigate this case.
But he unexpectedly left on a trip the day before we were to meet.
And up now, being the 10th day, his whereabouts are unknown.
But interestingly, this case has so many different stories.
If I'm forced to stop this investigation...
and I'm not allowed to build a case on this guy...
I cannot do my job any more.
As I'd be ashamed of being one.
Are you still nervous or something?
It's getting more complicated.
Why didn't you invite the Prosecutor General?
Ashamed?
You're a real pain in the ass!
KANG Chul-joong!
Even criminals do take breaks in jail
after committing crimes, but...
we work like deadbeats for 30 years nonstop.
The bottom line... take care of yourself.
I don't wanna see your ass in the ER
with a search warrant in your hands!
Don't give me that smile.
Can you do it?
The Chief Prosecutor says that...
a prosecutor shouldn't be ashamed of being one.
Thank you, sir.
I hope... nothing has happened.
I also hope so. This application is just a precaution.
If we file a missing person's report,
it allows us to work more actively.
Yes, I see.
I hope, nothing has happened to him.
He'll be all right, don't worry.
I'm watching the video, yeah, not bad.
The thing is that
I need to keep the present members.
It bothers me that the members'd dislike
a new owner who isn't white.
But you know I'm an all American citizen.
Just make sure of that point.
Alright, got it.
Sir!
What is it?
You've been summoned to the Prosecutors' Office, 2 days later.
What?
So now he decides to warn me about his attack?
- Call my lawyer. - Yes, sir.
The lawyer said you have no obligation to attend...
since you've been summoned just as a reference.
Would you like me to?
This is the way to handle wild dogs.
I don't have a clue. This asshole knows
- You dirty bastard! - Don't even know the name?
I need to eat first.
Hey, this isn't a hotel, it's a prosecutors' office.
Get them some lunch.
What a bunch of dumbheads.
Name, ID number, and your address.
HAN Sang-woo, ID 670625-5026274.
246-4, UN Village, Hannam-dong, Yongsan-ku, Seoul.
Military Service.
Serial number.
None.
Exempted.
Don't take it the wrong way, I'm the slowest typist in the building.
Your relation to Mr. AHN?
He's the director of the board of the Foundation I'm heading.
Where do you think he is?
He's been missing since he had a meeting with you.
Listen, I'm here merely as a reference.
Not as an investigator searching for him.
You're right. You're just a reference.
Until...
Until what?
Well if he's found dead or injured,
you'll be called in again, but this time as a murder suspect.
I wonder about things like reason and scientific investigations.
Where did these things go?
Sorry, but I'm the least reasonable
and most unscientific prosecutor around.
- That makes me the unluckiest. - Yep.
I had my secretary arrange
a meeting with him on the 29th.
We had a sincere discussion and reached an agreeable conclusion
After that, he said he was going on a trip, and I saw him off to the bus terminal.
And that was the last time I ever saw him.
You son of a bitch, you're dead!
- Okay, kill me then, - You two, sit still,
Those kinds men are a lot easier.
Easier to catch, and to get a confession.
Even easier to make them into better people.
But these damn rich folks are so clever, getting away with everything.
Interesting.
I envy your ability to openly share
your inferiority complex.
Complex?
Korea is an interesting country.
In this democratic society, to be wealthy is a crime.
Those inferior people work together and attack the rich...
by doing things like calling the rich their enemies.
Let me tell you why,
a few corrupt young rich men...
have managed to give everyone a bad name.
What we need is to see is examples of good rich people.
Then everyone works hard and honestly, striving to be rich.
How unreasonable and unscientific!
And so idealistic, too!
A guy like you is actually qualified to be a prosecutor?
Yup.
You'll figure it all out when I'm slapping the cuffs you.
I'm looking forward to it.
You motherfucker!
You were tempted to say that to me...
but you kept yourself calm and in control, didn't you?
I appreciate all your cooperation, considering all the odds against you.
And I expect to see you more with help about this case.
Thank you, sir.
No problem. I really look forward to seeing...
how it all turns out.
Suppose AHN is dead and...
Check every unidentified corpse
and cause of death in full detail.
- Suk-shin! - Yes, sir!
Then we have to find something that links the 2 cases.
HAN's case and AHN's case.
Yes, sir.
Does it mean HAN Sang-joon's case needs to be reexamined?
If the accident was really a set up...
and so the same method
would probably be used to AHN.
HAN Sang-woo has weak connections with the crime syndicate,
so he most likely doesn't have many lines tying him to such killers.
Hello.
This is Mr., Baik the attorney, remember we met the other day,
Oh, how are you, sir?
- How about dinner tomorrow? - No, thank you sir.
Don't refuse, I just want to give you some encouragement,
I promise to take you out for dinner,
once this case I'm working on is over.
I am sorry to hear that,
I really appreciate your offer, but...
You're not comfortable as a prosecutor to be with a lawyer?
Alright, where do you want to meet?
- Good evening, sir. - I am KANG chul
Let me show you to your table.
Take it easy, it's just dinner.
Please!
I know regulations prohibit you from accepting gifts worth over 30,000 won!
So, a simple cup of tea is acceptable, right?
You're creepy!
Even a smart guy like you knows how to be polite to your seniors.
I know you're busy, but you surprisingly came after just one call.
I am busy.
On a case hunting down the country's worst criminal.
I've been thinking of...
raising public servants' salaries.
All of you passed the bar exam,
but some make over 1 billion won a year.
Don't worry about it.
They make money, and I keep my integrity
by throwing trashes into jail.
This society needs someone as loyal as you.
You need to get out of there.
Business, or whatever, anything other than being at that stuffy old office...
And you'd get paid well!
1 billion won a year?
With a brain like yours, 2 billion won, easy.
2 billion...
That's 40 times more than my annual salary.
You work one year, and enjoy the rest of your life.
Hey, Sang-woo.
Yeah, Chul-joong.
2 billion?
Can I get that in cash?
I need the evidence to add bribery to the list of your charges.
Another charge?
Which means... there are other charges?
What are the charges against me?
You got no idea?
Oh, right, you mentioned something yesterday.
If AHN's found dead, I'm the number one murder suspect.
Sorry about that, Mr. Prosecutor.
I made such a big deal out of nothing.
Never mind the case any more.
Mr. HAN and I reached an acceptable agreement.
So is this all you can offer for the reward?
I haven't gotten paid in full yet,
so you can't have all the info.
I didn't know you were such a shrewd man.
No one would imagine that
there's a whole other side to you.
I devoted my whole life to schools,
and was promoted even to a director.
If I had wished it, I could have collected money illegally.
I'm happy to be able to
leave my name in the legacy, but...
seeing it being torn apart feels like I'm being torn apart as well.
And I felt miserable knowing all I had was a shabby old apartment.
So you want me to compensate for it with money?
- I've been looking for you! - For what?
I've got something hot,
but my boss isn't anywhere around!
So what's this about?
HAN Sang-joon's car accident.
I got fragments of motorcycle parts.
With it, we can establish who the suspects are.
Forget it.
Listen, I'm serious.
AHN was right, the case wasn't investigated thoroughly.
And it was closed just like that.
It doesn't matter!
Mr. AHN is back, alive.
What? He's alive?
So was it true that he made amends with HAN?
Was he possibly kidnapped and threatened?
His being killed was
not what this case was riding on.
We just need to continue moving toward the root, that's all.
Bribery, illegal cash transfers, there are so many charges.
Oh, Mr. KANG, how are you?
You were right, he's back all right.
While you were away, he was of great help.
Leave us.
Why don't you join us for dinner tonight at our house?
No, thank you.
I'm here to ask him
not to travel on his own like he did before.
Certainly, I'm sure it won't happen again.
I told you to leave us!
What's the meaning of this?
I told you all I had to say, yesterday.
That's interesting, 'cause I didn't hear what you should've told me.
Next time, you go missing,
it won't be on the missing persons' list,
it'll be on the wanted list instead.
Watch your mouth!
Sorry, but I'm not your student.
It's my understanding that you agreed to be
on the same team as HAN.
How come you didn't show up...
even after HAN was suspected for murdering you.
I simply had no idea that things were going that way.
But assuming that your move was carefully calculated...
in order to get the best deal for yourself...
you've actually been the greatest player of all.
But I'm really curious about what your deal was!
I'm sorry, but I don't know what you're talking about.
Don't' worry, I'll let you know,
when I put the pieces together.
HAN must've forgotten to warn you
about being careful with spending money.
Hey guys, let's take a break, pizza time!
What's more surprising is that it's on me.
Suck-shin, you like pizza right?
Come on, that's why I chose pizza!
Should I change it to something else?
No, sir.
What's going on?
Once we find evidence, the game is over!
Easier said than done, sir.
What do you mean?
To be honest, I got a feeling
we're barking up the wrong tree.
I agree with Suk-shin.
HAN not only has money, but he's respected as well.
My 20 years of experience with crooked lowlifes have taught me...
to see who's guilty and who's not, just by looking at their faces.
Is HAN guilty?
I'd have to say NO.
The moment AHN, who was suspected of being murdered,
showed up alive...
I didn't feel positive about the case.
Are we dogs? Isn't this how dogs act.
They're so gentle and cute in front of soft smiling faces.
But bark fiercely at faces that are threatening or offensive.
If we can't read the shit behind his gentle smile,
we're nothing but dogs.
I know it's a tough job and we're all beat.
How about getting some sleep for a couple of hours?
Here you all are, that's why no one answered the office phone.
Your apartment security called.
My apartment?
A burglar broke into your room,
and they need you to check it out.
Never mind, he's an unlucky burglar.
I said the same thing, but...
Someone needs to go down there and sign the paper work...
Let them do what they want.
What bastards!
Breaking into a prosecutors' house?
Don't worry, I'll take care of it, sir.
- Never mind! - I'll go.
- I told you never mind. - I said I'm going.
Suk-shin!
But, I want to go...
- Take my car. - Sir?
You're tired, it's dangerous on your bike.
Yes, sir.
How could this happen? This is mad!
Let's practice
smiling with both our eyes and mouth, Cheese~
Cheese~
One more time, Cheese
Cheese~
Finish by silently sounding out 'ee',,,
For example, how are you(ee)?
How are you, (ee)?
Nice to see you (ee),
Chul-joong, hi!
Only riders understand riders.
How much I wish I could join them bad!
I'm from the Prosecutors' Office. This is Prosecutor KANG.
Hello, sir.
The dump truck totally crushed the car.
The truck driver said the car dropped in
front of him without warning.
He went over the railing? How?
A bunch of bikers must've been racing or something...
There were skid marks all over the road.
This is... the way HAN Sang-joon died.
They were after me, not Suk-shin.
That son of a bitch!
Please take care of Suk-shin and his family.
I'm sorry, but we did our best...
Don't cry! Oh my God.
Sir, please...
Forgive me, sir.
It was my mistake.
You know I don't allow a 'second' mistake.
Yes, sir.
Your missed target will be here any minute now.
What?
Your mistake has driven that mad dog to even greater madness!
So at least I need to get him to dig his own grave!
Yes, sir.
Dr. Kim, how is my brother?
Oh God!
I see.
No, thank you.
My brother may have wanted it that way.
I'm sorry for holding
onto him for so long, it was selfish of me.
And the funeral...
just like we did for my father...
An official school funeral.
I will.
You've started your day early, busy?
Looks like your brother died, just like you wanted.
Do you know what you did today?
What do you mean?
Is a person's life
not worth more than a fly to you?
Calm down.
You killed one of my men, the nicest guy in the world.
A loving husband and father to a 3-month-old daughter.
And you can keep wearing that smile?
Behave yourself, Prosecutor!
Do you even see me as a prosecutor? How could you call me prosecutor?
You don't even know what justice is!
You did this to your brother, too, right?
My brother? That's right.
I remember what this is all about again.
Mr. AHN asked you to reinvestigate the case, right?
Oh, you poor guy!
AHN just withdrew his request and...
My brother is dead.
And you lost one of your best men.
What's there left to do, Mr. Prosecutor?
Get up, son of a bitch!
Mr. KANG, is that you on the monitor?
Yes, sir.
Did you have a warrant?
No, sir.
Or enough evidence to get a warrant for HAN?
What do you think the law is?
The law is merely the minimum.
The minimum rules we have to obey and live by.
You're a prosecutor whose job is to uphold the law.
Breaking the law, and insisting you're right...
makes you no different from a criminal.
I'm sorry, sir.
You're uncontrollable and wild from dealing with criminals for so long...
I suggest you step away from this case, as well as a transfer?
The Vice President, sir.
Good morning, this is HAN Sang-woo.
I heard the terrible news, what happened?
Well, it was a civilian vs. A prosecutor, no competition.
I'll handle this personally,
How can I thank you, sir!
There needs to be law and order.
This matter should be dealt with.
And could you postpone my meeting
with the President until I look better?
I understand,
Just tell him how much I respect him.
Don't worry about anything, just focus on your business,
Oh, I really don't know how to thank you.
Prepare 10 big ones.
3 hours? Fine.
You're being transferred?
Remember what I called you?
The 'Public Enemy'.
I'll give you a new nickname with the initials BG.
How about 'Bad Guys'?
You mean like in the movie?
I like 'Public Enemy' better.
When you come out of jail, you'll be better men?
Yes, sir.
I regret everything I did, sir.
See, you're just "bad guys".
Mr. KANG!
Did you hear the news? They're sending you to Kyong-ju!
Way to the south?
First it was supposed to be the civil trials department in Seoul,
but then it got changed to Kyong-ju!
What's this all about, sir?
Why not Kyong-ju?
It's in Korea isn't it?
And there are people to work for there, right?
I don't understand this!
From whom did these ridiculous orders come from?
That's enough!
Even a fool can see the outside influences controlling this!
Outside influences?
Nobody could possibly interfere with the Seoul DPO's affairs!
Then what, explain it to me.
We're Prosecutors of Korea.
No soul on earth can meddle with our business.
Just mind your own!
It's from Prosecutor KANG.
Hello,
Prosecutor.
I am sorry.
You don't need to be sorry, sir.
I am really sorry.
I am really sorry!
What the hell?
Who the?
There's no one else but you who'd dare pull this
shit with a Senior Prosecutor.
You must be Lonely, right?
You know I am, now get up.
If I get up, you're going to kick my ass out the door?
What a clever boy. I can't stand you.
How ironic it is that we're on the same team!
Wow, it smells great!
Oh god, my noodles!
That's my last one.
Chul-joong... hey, kid.
It's been a long time, since I heard you call me so.
You don't like this shabby lifestyle, do you?
Don't try to get me going.
A flat or a house, nothing to do with you.
Your wife suggested that you practice law...
when you're son was in middle school, didn't she?
Never mind my family life.
I already know that part of my life is no good.
Your wife once told me what you had told her.
That there are a lot of bad people out there...
and as long as innocent people continue to get hurt by the bad...
you can't quit your job and let it happen.
She said your kids were in a worse situation than those innocent people,
and she couldn't stand that you chose those people over your family.
That's her never-ending story, but she's doing well!
She's taking care of my parents as well as the kids, in the country.
My salary can't afford city life,
so it works out much better.
It's that story that keeps me from considering marriage.
So, it's your responsibility.
What?
You know HAN is a killer!
We have to get him!
And get all the others who are on his side.
If you don't get it done, I'll resign.
Then you can join me at a law firm.
Don't take it wrong, kid.
You have to face the reality that...
we're too rough around the edges for business.
People would never believe we're lawyers.
Maybe a trucking company?
No matter how hard I try to say 'cheese'...
I just can't smile any more.
Suk-shin always put a smile on my face.
So I can't even imagine how to start my days with him gone.
You still have 1 week, before the transfer papers go through.
I'll give you JOH to work with.
Which means, all you got is 1 week.
You're a true brother!
I'm your boss, kid!
Brother!
Wow, what a great car, is it from your father-in-law?
On an installment plan.
Keep pushing the Financial Supervisory Service for info...
and get hard evidence
of the bribery and outgoing cash.
Absolutely.
Most importantly, find out what HAN paid AHN off with.
I'll give it my best shot. And you?
I'll take care of the last gift Suk-shin left behind...
the skid marks and other evidence,
still buried in HAN's brother's case...
Would it be a clue to be able to get them?
Somebody must've buried the case.
And I'm going to find out who it is.
Take care.
Make sure you got plenty of rope ready
to tie the bastards up.
No sweat.
Here is your receipt.
- Thank you, officer. - Goodbye.
Here's something I don't get, could you explain it to me?
A 20-year veteran homicide detective was anxious to work on this case...
but it was unexpectedly dismissed and closed unfinished.
Who the hell are you?
Holding onto it, he was demoted to the civil service office.
And I've come here to see him.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Sit down.
Is this your first visit to a prosecutor's office?
No... I mean yes.
- You like the office? - Yeah.
It's my boss's office, I was kicked out of mine.
Do you remember killing a man in a Sonata 2847?
- We didn't kill... - Let me finish!
Yes, sir.
Just as advice, my boss is a real hot head.
Even his family couldn't stand him, and left him.
So I think it's best for you to tell me the truth, before he shows up.
If you try to feed him cheap stories,
make ones good enough to bet your life on, got it?
Yes, sir
Where was I?
Sonata 2847!
What a smart kid! And you still remember what happened, right?
The man in the car was one of my men...
and the car was mine.
I know you made a mistake and killed the wrong guy...
but it still means you attempted to murder a prosecutor.
No!
And HAN Sang-joon, you killed him last year.
He's not dead yet!
Not then, but...
He was in a coma for a year and then he died.
So you just killed two innocent men.
No,
we didn't mean to, we would only break the windows.
That's what he told us to do!
Who?
Listen to me, Mr. AHN.
With all this,
it's just a matter of time before we get HAN.
If he's locked up,
you won't see a penny of what you have coming.
D'you know what you're doing?
You're pleading guilty.
This is a murder case, two men have been killed.
I'm sorry, sir. I regret what I did.
Regret what?
I did it for Mr. HAN,
but even then it was wrong, I know.
I'll take whatever punishment I have coming to me.
You know, as a teacher,
there's only so much you can save.
If it turns out that
you have more than that,
you'll be investigated.
Then all the dirty laundry will come rolling out, bribery, tax evasion...
And what's worse, you'll eventually get
your throat cut by the money.
Isn't that right, sir?
How tragically funny it'd be to see your money undo you!
The same money that cost you your integrity!
Think about how much
it's already cost you to get that money...
Isn't it a great shame?
Lawmaker
The person you called is not available,,,
The phone you have called is turned off,,,
Vice President's Office,
This is HAN Sang-woo of Myung-sun, give me the Vice President.
Sorry, but he's in a meeting,
Tell him it's from HAN Sang-woo, I'll hold.
Hello,
Sorry, but he said he'll call you later,,,
Hey, bitch! You should at least ask me
if I want to leave a message!
What a surprise!
It's a little early for you to be here, isn't it?
Stop fucking around!
How could you just sit back and watch the cops raid my house.
You owe me a bit more than that after pocketing my money.
Watch your mouth, young man!
I'm leaving soon, but you'll still be here, you greedy, old man.
You believe once you leave the country nothing can happen to you?
Only with money, I can fool the stupid police.
Just 'think' about who'll be getting hurt if all this leaks.
Are you trying to blackmail me? You mean the two of us will be screwed?
We'll both be fucked?
Do realize that power is something that has an end, but money is different.
Political power changes hands all the time, yes,
but money? NO!
Don't be too confident about that.
Don't tell me I'm wrong.
You know better than anyone else that I'm right.
Sir.
I was taught that
I should act and speak politely to my elders.
But I can't follow the rule right now.
I know you don't feel comfortable talking to me.
- I would like... - Sorry for interrupting, but...
Please, tell me the truth, sir.
If you can't, then stay silent.
If it turns out that you, the one who taught me about values, lied to me...
it would be an intolerable burden to carry through life.
Here, I won't tell HAN. Just take it easy.
Have you enjoyed working for HAN?
I bet you have.
A nice car, money,
and the freedom to beat up anybody, a pain in the ass.
But are they a pain in your ass,
or in his ass?
You know, you sent those damn bikers and Suk-shin died...
No, let me get it straight.
You said you wanted to
kill me out of loyalty for HAN.
But what wrong did I ever do to you?
It's true, I was an eyesore for HAN.
But the truth is you didn't mind
getting blood on your hands... killing that young man,
and I'll tell you why.
You think the money will compensate for everything.
Right?
He probably told you that if you're loyal,
it'll change your life.
I bet that's what he said.
What's your take on that?
Have you ever seen him payout a dime...
for something he wouldn't profit from?
Never.
Mr. AHN is under investigation in the room you were just in.
If he opens his mouth,
I doubt whether even "a dime" will be left.
Are those your files?
Yes, sir.
You were so good
at filing and organizing.
I taught you, organizing the info is
the first step to studying anything.
Yes, you did teach me that.
Right, I'm used to organizing information and paper work...
It was once my dream...
to write an autobiography with all that information when I retire.
The schools were my life. I've even repaired the roofs.
I banged up my fingertips, but I was happy!
But the schools were sold off and...
the money was pocketed by that no good crook.
In the end, I got involved with all of it too.
I'm... really sorry.
I fell victim to greed.
I was blinded by the huge amount of money.
Sir!
But I can't... confess to you.
Let me talk to Mr. KANG instead.
Dig in.
You need energy to make confessions or something.
KANG, Mr. AHN is ready to talk.
With his statement, we have enough to get HAN.
Sure thing.
Get a search warrant for AHN's house
and check drawers in his living room.
Seize all the laundered cash and
checks as evidence.
Who's going to escort AHN out of Seoul to retrieve evidence?
I'll do it, sir.
Escort AHN to his cousin's...
And seize evidence, hidden there.
It's tomorrow afternoon that we'll get "your hero".
The case is shut,
there's no reason to take your needs into consideration.
That's life, once you miss your chance...
you're done for.
It sucks, you'll end up with a life sentence,
all for the dirty bastard.
If you don't get HAN, will I have to take the fall for everything?
It'll never happen.
He leaves for the U.S. First thing tomorrow morning.
He'll be in the U.S. Before you can get the paper done.
This is not the first case. It's really no big deal.
Remember Mr. PARK? He was prevented from leaving the country.
And it turned out he was innocent.
The prosecutors wouldn't
dare violate human rights so easily.
It wouldn't do them any good.
No, it won't look good if I call,
I've been summoned, so...
Alright, you take care of it.
Sir, line 0.
Alright, I'll take it.
Yes, how have you been, sir?
Not enough proof?
We better act quickly and get more evidence,
to get that arrest warrant.
Murder, money laundering, bribery, blackmail...
What more do you need to stop him from getting away?
Face the facts!
All we got is two confessions from SONG and AHN.
We need more hard evidence.
KANG!
KANG Chul-joong!
You know what's the first thing he'll do in America?
Find a damn way to clean the money.
If it's hidden, or under different names
like John, Mary, whatever...
It'd be impossible to trace!
With 500 billion won, 200,000 poor kids
can have lunch for 3 years.
So, what's your move?
Are you gonna chase after him
and break his legs so he can't run?
You're finished, too, if you do.
Abiding by the law is the first thing you have to do as a prosecutor!
Do you know why Robin Hood became a thief?
What?
He couldn't stand seeing innocent people oppressed legally.
So becoming an outlaw was the only way he could help them.
What do you mean?
What is law? It's the minimum we have to obey.
It's the minimum we maintain in order to remain human.
And even if the law isn't enough to stop crooks,
it still means that they hurt the lives of the innocent...
What do you mean?
I don't care if I can't come back.
If I'm not good enough to nail that bastard, then,
I WON'T come back.
Come back!
You're not my boss anymore, so don't give me any orders.
Hello.
Congratulations,
And I'm really sorry.
I didn't know you were such
a big shot with government officials.
Oh, don't feel bad, buddy!
You did what you could do as a prosecutor in this country.
You're damn right,
It's all I could do as a prosecutor,
Which is why I've changed my ways,
What do you mean?
For a worthless trash, who tries to get away with doing anything illegal...
the law is meaningless.
An eye for an eye.
I'm prepared to do anything to get rid of you.
You actually think you can beat me?
You know it. Let's see what happens.
Whatever you want.
The cellular phone you have called is turned off,,,
Hello, this is HAN Sang-woo, Please leave a message,
Do you even know
why I beat you up?
Money is so dear to you,
You exist for money and only money,
But look at me, I gave up everything I had,
just to catch you.
This war isn't over until you kill me for good.
I'd rather die than see scum
like you living happily...
That's why I'm gonna win this game.
You must be so pissed off,
You're probably excited
about being a few steps away from a new life,,,
and to finally be free of that hypocritical mask!
But now there's a raving lunatic chasing after you,,,
Guess I'll see you in the U, S,
I'll be sure to let your wife and kid
know about everything you've done,
Where are you right now?
Why?
You said you'd rather die, right?
Unless I kill you,
Where the hell are you, son of a bitch!
Come on out asshole!
I'm sick of low class bums being so proud of their so-called social titles.
They take it for something important
and think they can do anything.
They even forget
people like me are way above them and can't be beaten.
I'll share something interesting with you that I heard from some of my regulars.
Doing illegal activities and drug addiction have 2 things in common.
The more you do, the more you want.
And the less guilty you feel!
And finally they lose their way back, just like you bastard!
Let me tell you what junkies and prosecutors have in common.
They don't realize how stupid they are until the moment they're finished.
Please stop HAN from leaving the country.
How about evidence? Is it enough?
Believe me, I'll have all of them ready in 24 hours.
I won't let Mr. KANG do things his way...
He left this and went after HAN.
Why can't you be 24 hours faster than the crooks?
Sir?
You should be faster than...
the criminals and those who always get in the way!
I'm sorry, sir.
Excuse me sir, but...
There's a gun reported missing from the armory.
I think KANG might have taken it with him.
I'm sorry, sir. I take full responsibility.
Why you?
Could you get me the Prosecutor General?
This is the Chief Prosecutor, sir.
I want to see if the promise you
made at my inauguration still holds.
If I was willing to fight for a case with my life...
You said you'd be behind me, whatever the consequences are.
Well, this is it, extreme and limitless.
Yes, it will raise a lot of trouble.
I understand, thank you, sir.
Don't get up, asshole!
As a public prosecutor for the country...
I can't just lie down and watch a public enemy dance around freely.
Sorry, a former prosecutor.
What is it that you're gonna get for doing this!
Fucking justice for the people?
Just let them enjoy their fucking sports, the World Cup or whatever.
Hundreds of billions of won?
It's none of their fucking miserable business!
You should know your place, face down in the mud!
Stupid worthless scums!
You're right, you're different.
'Cause I was born poor, I ran around in underwear...
when Korea made it to the semifinals in the World cup.
There's no need to beat you.
Killing you is enough.
KANG Chul-joong.
We need him to get the bastards he paid off!
What's the use of cutting just the stem?
I tried like hell to uproot the whole tree!
But I couldn't even get to the root, you know that!
This is better than letting it bear poisonous fruit!
Do it through the law
Finish him with what we know best! The Law!
This piece of shit doesn't have any respect for the law.
You can make him respect it!
And if it doesn't work! What if the law isn't enough?
Then kill him.
I'll help you do the job, and go down with you too.
I promise.
If you ever find some way out of this...
I'll arrest you again.
Use your money, power...
do whatever you can do.
I swear my life on it, from this moment on!
On my honor.
Arrest him.
Step aside!
- Could you give me a word? - How do you feel now?
I don't think I need to say anything.
If the law isn't silent, the truth will be revealed.
You all pay taxes to guarantee that...
the people in this building make sure justice prevails.
Do you deny being in contact with the exec director of Myung-sun?
Well, as for the Foundation, what's his name... HA...
Is it Mr. HAN?
Anyway, I don't know and don't care to
know how much money he has.
Even if he is wealthy, everything goes
to the foundation, not to him.
It all goes towards the next generation, our future!
So every cent that belongs to the foundation has...
the value of being more than just money.
If I accepted bribes with that pure money,
I don't deserve to wear this badge of authority.
I'm swearing to you, on my career as a politician...
I'm not involved in any way whatsoever with this shameful scandal.
Then could you?
Step aside!
Step aside.
Well, well!
Making unnecessary physical contact with suspects is prohibited, sir.
Let's go.
I'm a politician,
don't expect me to remember everyone I've met,
I don't remember,
We met too many times for me to remember clearly,
Well, I can remember up to at least 9th time we met,
A bribe? I never even thought about it, oh my God!
If I didn't pay him off, my golf schools would've been in jeopardy,
I don't know how much I have in my bank account,
He was like a thief using threats to get paid,
I don't remember anything and don't know anything about it,
You weren't paid a cent?
I guess literally you're right.
It wasn't you, but your golf bags that got paid.
I rarely see those with money let themselves get put here.
You committed some serious crimes.
My crime? I didn't do anything that you didn't know of.
You'll see that you picked
the wrong guy to put the blame on.
Sure, you'll see if it's the wrong guy or the right guy.
But it's not just the two of you involved.
Legislator, financial director,
and Media Officer are all summoned.
After a long fight we'll have a clear idea.
It might be a great reunion of all your old colleagues.
Where will this country go from here?
You look so good.
This outfit is the only one
you'll ever wear for the rest of your life.
Don't get ahead of yourself. The war has just begun.
I know.
You've just gone through the first step.
Murder, embezzlement, illegal international money transfers...
The bad news is we found all the money
you illegally exchanged.
You'll be utterly broke.
But it's not that bad, look on a bright side.
You'd have no chance to spend any of it,
being locked up for the rest of your life.
The rest of my life?
Oh, well maybe, if you get a little better...
in about 20 years, we'll be able to greet each other, saying...
Hi!
So you deny doing any of this,
considering there's no evidence?
You're driving me crazy!
Hey, sir, believe me,
I can't admit doing something I didn't.
To be honest, I want to say that I did it.
Then at least I can eat and sleep for free!
It'd be better!
- What d'you think? - That's right.
And I'd be able to see so many friends of mine there too.
With the free meals I've gained weight before,
3 kilos per trip.
Thinking of all these benefits,
I'm tempted to plead guilt, which I'm not.
But we respect the law,
and shouldn't tell lies.
You know all too well what the law is for, fellas!
How've you been, 'bad guys'?
Don't worry, I'll help you not to tell lies.
You look a lot more handsome.
Oh, man, you again?
KANG Chul-joong / Prosecutor
I plead guilt, 100%!
- Oh, Yong-man. - Yes, sir.
I'll just go ahead and finger print myself.
AHN-soo!
I need ink. Where is it?
Oh, here it is.
Where? Right, we put our fingerprints here right?
Take it easy, guys.
Let me do it, now!
- More guilt to plead. - I did all this, sir!
