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 scum!
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!
