-Kang of Daehan People's party and his wife voted for the presidential election today at 6:15AM in the morning near his residence.
-Voting is the sacred right of the people.
I hope that this election turns into a joyful celebration.
-Did you vote Kang?
-I'm only going to tell my husband that later.
Dongyoon.
I'm just returning from meeting my brother.
I told him to stop acting childish, and kept on asking him who he gave the phone to, but he wouldn't tell...
-I know.
I know where Baek and the phone is at.
-My father is also looking for it.
Hyera is on the move too.
If Hyera finds them first, then...
-Even if Hyera finds Baek first,
we might still win.
We might...
-Oh, my dear.
-They are arriving at the clinic in ten minutes.
-Grandfather,
Read me a story in the evening.
-I'm sorry,
I have to be at somewhere else tonight.
Ah, he could come to me, or I can go visit him.
Keep up the good work.
I'll read it tomorrow.
Have fun at school!
Alright.
-We should reclaim the phone soon.
You can cancel the dinner, if you wish.
-I'll do that.
I cannot keep both promises at the same time.
I must take back either the promise I made with you or the promise I made with the other candidate.
-This is the Prosecutor's Office, where Baek's press conference will be held in two hours.
Even at this early hour, numerous reporters are taking their positions beside the photo line and are waiting for Baek's arrival.
-Baek will cross the Haengjoo bridge and take Olympic Road. I will take the outer route and head to Yangjae interchange.
Detective Cho will go through Kangbook to enter the target area.
Come on, let's get moving.
-Detective Cho,
Do you have any paper towels?
Perhaps the seaweed soup I had in the morning went bad?
My stomach hurts.
Okay.
-Rub it gently!
(RING RING) My father must have dialed the wrong number.
He didn't call me even when I didn't return home for two weeks, now he is dialing me by a mistake at this early hour.
Today is my birthday?
Did I have the birthday seaweed soup?
-Try a sip.
I boiled the broth for over five hours, so the soup is very good.
-I think I had the soup.
-(Hyera) Use any means necessary.
Stop Baek.
Retrieve the phone.
I will be held accountable for everything.
-Did you eat the cake?
Checkmate, Yongsik.
-I lost.
I have no money.
Try some of this.
It's a chocolate cake.
Choco-cake.
Fits in a bite.
-I think I had the cake today also.
Run!
-(Hyera) Use any means necessary.
I will be held accountable for everything.
-Detective Cho!
-How can you be so filthy, detective?
You smell like a beef broth.
-Yongsik.
Our nation lacks enough water.
We have to save every drop.
-Tens of reporters will be at the site.
You should have at least shaved.
Okay, okay.
At least comb your hair.
-Yongsik.
I prefer Janchi-noodle over pasta.
I prefer the porkskin over steaks.
Detective Cho...
-What are you trying to say?
-She is a good girl.
A decent person, too.
She also is a capable detective.
The two divorce actually was due to...
-I,
I don't look at the girls' rear appearance, when I judge women.
The ones with juicy asses often have thick skin.
That's why I only look at their front appearance.
For the same reason, I do not judge them by their past.
I only look at the possible future with me.
Sigh, I have seven criminal records, I only hope she looks at what is to come with me also.
Ah, when you were missing after being shot, it was reported in the news.
She was crying so much in the Gamjatang diner, and I almost went nuts.
But do you know this?
She is gorgeous when she smiles.
I hope she only has bright days ahead of her.
Only if I can make it happen for her!
But sometimes I think you are some kind of guru or something.
You were so fierce at the cinerarium,
-Yongsik.
I will not be angry anymore.
Instead, I will make them very, very angry.
I won't even make loud noises also.
I will make them scream and shriek.
-That's right.
The loudest ones in a fight are often the weakest ones.
The ones that approach without a word are the most fierce.
-Detective Cho.
-I won't cry.
I will make them cry.
-After you march into the Prosecutor's office with the phone, it will be their funeral today.
No doubt.
-I got it.
-Dongyoon.
Let's utilize the police.
Let's extend the security checkpoints, so they cannot enter the area.
-The entire nation is tuning into the Prosecutor's Office.
-Then let's make them tune into something else.
We have a few celebrity scandals that we can use HanOh Media.
Gambling, drug use, military evasion.
If we leak one every two hours...
-Jisoo.
Will people hear the bell ring when there are hurricanes outside?
-Will Hyera contact us?
-She will.
-Even if she contacts us, can she stop him?
-She will.
She worked for me the last ten years.
She never failed me.
Hyera is working for herself right now.
She will succeed,
...this time again.
-Two thousand supporters have left for the building.
We have drafted 40 buses.
-Cancel the assembly.
-They already have left.
They are already paid, too.
-Leave us.
-I'm busy.
Make it quick.
-(Hyera) I have something to tell you, candidate.
-Come over here.
Call me again, when you are in the vicinity.
1 hour left for press conference
There will be no press conference, Jisoo.
-During the last special investigation, I was preparing for the general election.
Due to the incident that my father was involved in, I failed to make the cut. I was lost.
Should I go study abroad, should I just immigrate to overseas.
But what could I have done?
The dream that I wanted to achieve was in this land, this nation.
You were the one who stretched your hand out to pull me out of the abyss.
Did you feel betrayed, while I was working for the chairman?
-Hyera.
I don't believe in people.
If you don't believe in them, there is nothing to feel bad about.
I also do not expect anything.
Without expectation, there can be no disappointment.
People act according to their needs.
Then they create the justification.
Politic is just like that.
You throw a bait to someone who needs it, and give them the reason to take it.
I don't care what people say.
Action is what matters.
You came looking for me.
You needed my father in law back then, and now you need me.
Just tell me one thing.
Tell me why you need me.
I will make the decision.
-The chairman is contacting candidate Cho Dongsoo.
-I bet.
Hyera.
The chairman is not someone that you can handle.
-Ah, Chancellor Jang.
Was it Cho Dongsoo?
You said that you went to the same school with him, right?
Ask him to have a dinner with me.
Hyera,
If you fail to retrieve the phone, don't worry about coming back in here.
I can only keep one promise, whether it is the one with you or the other candidate.
-Candidate.
You have to become the president.
-You should.
-If problems arise, you and I will lose...
-I know.
-I will stop the press conference for you.
-Say it again.
-The press conference won't happen.
-Go on.
-I will also retrieve the phone for you.
I will fine the phone as well.
-Okay.
-What will you do for me, candidate?
-Hyera.
You came to me because you need me right now.
This is not a negotiation, it should be more of a request.
I will re-appoint you as my personal assistant again.
-That is not sufficient.
Please promise me a political future.
-Be someone that I need.
Then you will acquire anything you want.
That is all I can tell you.
Stop the press conference.
If you fail, we will meet again in the courtroom instead of Blue House...
...for murder abettment charges.
-I understand.
-Make haste.
-Okay.
There are about 100 reporters,
The national channels and the cables will be broadcasting it live.
-How about the supporter protests?
-There seems to be none.
We should have no problem getting through the main gate.
Ah, by the way,
Thanks for the medications.
I healed up fast because of them.
Thank you.
-Okay.
-Me okay too.
(RING RING) You can enter through the main gate.
I will enter first.
-It will take us about five minutes.
Detective Baek.
Did you not say that 100 reporters are camping out there for you?
Comb your hair or something,
Fix the hat too.
Ah, Detective Baek.
You are scared, aren't you?
-Yongsik.
While I was watching over the trial, while I was running away, I thought about it thousands of times.
What would I say when the moment comes...
What will I tell the reporters? what should I tell the whole world?
This was all that I could come up with.
Soojung,
Daddy kept his promise...
Shortly after the investigation, I will be locked up behind bars.
Thank you for everything.
-You will be going to Eujungboo.
.
I have a number of buddies there, so don't worry about your safety there.
I will make sure that they give you a good bath first.
-Prosecutor Choi.
We have been informed that you will be present with Baek together.
-He will arrive shortly.
-What does Baek have as evidence?
-Is it true that Kang and PK Jun are involved in something?
-A prosecutor cannot reveal the details of the investigation.
-Answer this one for us.
Do you believe that Baek's evidence will shift the tide of the election?
-Baek will speak of the truth that he knows.
The Prosecutors will be investigating it.
The decision will be up to the people to make.
-It's Baek Hongseok!
The bull indeed was killed by a mosquito.
I will be dining with Cho Dongsoo in the evening.
Ah, did you look into it?
-He was in politics for thirty years, but he never received a single penny as a bribe.
-How can you cook Denjang soup without denjang?
If he did not, dig into his wife and the kids.
-Okay.
Father,
Thank you.
Thank you for accepting my decision.
-Baek's vehicle is entering the courtyard.
Soon, Kang and PK Jun's correlation, as well as the supporting evidence, will be revealed to the public.
-Father.
That car is...
Candidate Kang, do you admit your relations to PK Jun?
-Wouldn't this affect the voting results for tomorrow?
-Whether if I become the president or not is not of importance here.
Did you say your name was Choi Jungwoo?
-You will receive a summon soon.
Please come back then.
Candidate Kang.
Did I get your name right?
-A prosecutor is someone who carries out the law.
Do you believe that what you are doing is correct?
-This is the Prosecutor's Office.
This is the heart of Korean justice system.
If you are doing a publicity stunt, please leave.
-If you have suspicions, you can request an official complaint before releasing the information to the public. Isn't that the right order of things?
-You are the one who stopped the audit and replace me from investigating the Baek case.
-I have never put pressure on the justice system.
-I have never believed a word you said.
-Last night, I could not go to bed.
It was not because I felt wrongly accused.
It was because of the shock and disappointment that people who supported me must have received.
I declare here,
If Baek comes up with a proof that I am involved with PK Jun, I will immediately withdraw from the election and abandon my candidacy.
-What?
We are almost...
-Hongseok.
What should I do?
Detective Cho...
Detective Cho is...
She was hit by a car, what should I do?
She is covered in her own blood.
She is dying...
But they will not take her to the hospital.
-What will they do?
Who is it?
Who hurt Detective Cho?
-They say that you have to cancel the press conference in order for her to receive medical attention.
-Yongsik.
Stop the car.
-Detective Cho.
Detective Cho will die any second.
What should we do?
Detective Cho.
-Mr. Baek,
Contact Prosecutor Choi.
-Kang Dongyoon.
Did he order this?
-You are a detective, you should know who did this.
She suffered fractures in femoral region, she has internal organ injuries, and it has already been some time since the accident.
The bleeding continues.
Baek,
How long do you think she has?
-What do you want?
-Ah, damn it...
I should have went with her...
-I will not make excuses.
I will not engage in legal crossfire.
I will return as a plain citizen, and face the law without remorse.
...For law is equal to everyone.
This is how I spent my last ten years in the politics, fighting the lies.
-Did you discuss your resignation with your advisors?
-I do not discuss with my advisors.
I discuss with the people of Korea.
The promise that I must keep is not the ones that I made with my advisors.
The grandma who firmly grabbed my hand early in the morning at the public market,
The elder who lives alone, who shared his one of two breads.
The orphans who wished that I became their parents.
I wanted to give these people hope.
I wanted to show them miracles.
Miracles do not happen.
Miracles are made!
As a son of a poor barber, I have only trusted the people only and never dealt with the lies that plague this society!
I wanted to show them that even someone like me can be a President of the Republic of Korea!
I will wait.
I will wait to find out what Baek has in his sleeves that will confuse and deceive our people.
I will wait, with you all.
-Yes.
Hurry up, Baek Hongseok.
Here stands someone who is waiting for you.
-Prosecutor.
Please cancel the press conference.
Cho is hurt badly.
We have to save Cho...
-Let's do the press conference.
I will let the authorities search for her.
-She is in critical condition.
There is no time.
-They won't leave her to die.
-They...
...will do anything.
They think people like me and Cho are bugs.
Kang will do anything.
We have to save her first, prosecutor.
-Baek won't be coming here.
-I have been deceived by Baek.
He said that there is no evidence to prove anything.
I will cancel the press conference.
-(Hongseok) She wants you to apologize to Kang.
She wants you to bow down and apologize.
Only then they will take her to the hospital.
Candidate Kang.
I was deceived by Kang.
I made a grave mistake.
I am sorry,
...candidate Kang.
-You do not need to apologize to me.
You can resume your work tomorrow as an upright, law-abiding, law-executing prosecutor.
That is how you can ask for forgiveness.
You can deceive someone for a period of time, but you cannot deceive everyone.
I hope that our society is no longer manipulated by Baek's lies.
We must move forward towards the brighter future.
-Quickly transport her to the hospital.
The OP unit is ready, right?
-Yes.
-(Hongseok) I am changing the term of the exchange.
-Baek Hongseok.
-Save her first.
When you save her life, only then you will get the phone back.
-Baek Hongseok,
Trust us.
The surgery will...
-Do you think you people are trustworthy?
Contact me when she is out of the surgery room.
-Detective Baek.
We should at least find her location first...
-They will do anything,
...to retrieve the phone.
I will save her.
-Detective Baek,
Then what?
-I told you.
I will not be engulfed by anger.
I will not shed tears.
I will not be aloud.
Whoa, our good old Prosecutor Choi~
How do you feel to be on the other side of the table for once?
Jungwoo.
Do you know why we are called prosecutors(gum-sa)?
Because we are under evaluation(also pronounced gum-sa). That's why we are 'prosecutors'.
The director, the supervisor, the deputy directors evaluate our work and decide whether we go on with the cae or not.
-Stop barking up the wrong tree.
It's annoying.
-They outlined the drawing from the above, I merely fill in the colors.
There is this prosecutor called Choi Jungwoo
This guy is crazy about making it big.
Hero sentimental, heroism, desire for self-display, pretty much a guy with a lot of issue.
How about that?
Let's leave it at that, okay?
Just write the statement as I tell you to, you get to keep your suit on. You resist and you get changed into the prisoner jumpsuit right away.
You pick the color of the outfit.
-Hey.
-Why?
-When was the last time that you said anything humane?
No wonder.
Conscious of a law practitioner,
I bet you left that at the law school grad ceremony.
So,
What did you exactly accomplish?
The truth?
Justice?
They all sound so noble.
So what did you exactly accomplish.
Did you accomplish anything that you think is right?
No, right?
Probably not.
Nothing.
Then,
How different am I compared to you?
You are all talk, try some and can't get anything done. However, I didn't talk, I didn't try, I didn't get anything done also.
What?
The result is the same.
We both didn't do nothing?
How interesting.
Then why exactly are you looking at me as if I am a dog shit?
Tell me, our noble Mr. Prosecutor Choi!
-Right.
That's why I have to start from scratch.
I will never want to sink to your level.
-Hey.
Our lives do not end today.
There will be ten years after today, there will also be twenty years after today.
Even then I will do what I think is right, and you will still be 'evaluated' by your superiors.
-That's cool, Choi.
-I know.
Guys like you,
...must hate to see me win.
You have to see me fail to ensure that you made the correct yet dirty choice.
Hey.
You live like that.
I'll live my life.
Let's begin.
The prosecutor who is being evaluated.
Let me see how good you are at interrogation.
Hang in there for just a bit longer.
D-1 11 AM
-How much is this?
-9 bucks for two sets.
-Oh my,
That's expensive.
-Traditional markets are all struggling.
-We will revive them.
The traditional markets, as well as the economy.
Cheer up.
-Thank you.
Thanks.
-I will make the world where dreams come true.
I will reinvigorate traditional markets to make a world where businesses are booming.
Please vote tomorrow.
-Ah, thank you.
-Ah, it is so delicious.
Please have these Dduk-bboki.
D-1 3 PM
D-1 4 PM
-Enjoy!
-It is awesome.
-Knock knock.
-It's quite hot today.
Keep it up.
Detective Baek.
-Take care, boss!
-Detective Baek.
D-1 7 PM
-Yongsik.
Yongsik.
-Bring me the tape.
Yongsik.
-Cho will make it.
-I,
I don't know how I am doing all this the entire day
I did what you asked and walked around,
But I keep on thinking how the surgery have went...
I can't focus on anything today.
(RING) Detective Baek?
-How was the surgery?
-They just finished.
She will recover shortly.
-Drink and eat.
We have to get Cho back tomorrow.
I am changing the terms of the exchange.
-Mr. Baek,
Your two friends are still with us.
If you do not hand over the phone by today...
-I am adding three new conditions.
-No.
-Ah, Detective Baek.
You told me to relax,
How can you leave Cho there like this?
-First, release Prosecutor Choi.
Second, move the Chief and Cho to a regular hospital ward.
You guys will leave.
Three, I am leaving this country tonight.
-Are you going to take the boat?
-I got the boat already.
I want $270,000 in cash.
-We will decide on the location and the time...
-11PM, the third pier in Inchon Port.
-Are you really leaving?
-I cannot live in a country where Kang is the president.
ionair.tv
-Move them to the regular care ward.
We are leaving.
Candidate,
Please release Choi.
-Was it you?
The one who bailed me out with a single phone call.
Did you ask your father?
Or did you ask your brother in law?
-It isn't me.
-I have been on this case for the past months.
Baek had to escape from custody,
And Detective Choi is now hurt.
Chief Hwang could not go home for over two weeks.
That was how today's press conference was prepared.
But your brother in law's word destroyed everything.
And I was arrested because of a phone call, and was released through a phone call.
-Prosecutor Choi,
-Stop it,
Conglomerate daughter reporter,
Stop playing the reporter game and go home.
Those people believed in me, and I told them to trust me and the law...
But I am so pathetic tonight.
I feel so bad for them and I do not know what to do anymore.
-Don't be a crybaby.
You told me, remember?
Just be one type of the person.
A news reporter or a daughter of HanOh Chairman,
Who do you think I am right now?
I thought you are pretty cool.
Someone who fights for the justice that he believes in.
You looked mature.
But now I look at it, you are still a child.
You used to say,
'Let's start over'.
-Tomorrow is the election though!
Where do we begin?
-Baek did not give up yet.
-But if the law fails to bring justice, then you must help me.
-Where is it, Baek?
There's no time.
Tomorrow is the election.
We have to help him with his plan.
-He will find us.
I have a favor to ask you.
Don't show your weak side to other people.
Only show it to me.
Prosecutor Choi Jungwoo..
D-1 11 PM
-Let's see the stuff first.
-Why?
Why give that to me?
-The accident which happened on that night..
-Baek asked me to tell you.
What you want is a cell phone, and Baek disappearing from this land.
The phone is a done deal, and the world will be yours after tomorrow. How will he live in this country?
He will leave, stay silent, and find ways to leave, so do not look for him.
-I will personally answer that question to Baek.
-Boys!
Anyone who moves a step will be beaten to a pulp, and anyone who moves two steps will...
-Back away.
-Money smell...
Sea breeze isn't good for the skin.
Leave quickly.
Keep up the good work.
Detective Baek.
Live happily.
-I heard that over five thousand supporters gathered at the Myungdong assembly.
-It was my last assembly.
-He left in Ship Jinsung.
It's a human smuggling vessel.
The boat just entered the international water.
I verified it through the coast guard.
Baek is no longer here in this world.
I thought...
If I stopped you that day...
No.
I will take care of...
-He's not the type to back down.
-If Jang arrived just a bit earlier...
If I did not take the phone out...
If I did not give the chairman this phone...
What will you do if I give you the phone?
What would have happened?.
You and I had to go through so much because of the phone.
We did so many things that we did not have to do.
-Interesting.
We went through the same series of events but we feel quite differently about it.
If you stopped me that day, PK Jun probably told the world about it.
-Let's meet again at the police interrogation room.
Or we can meet in the courtroom.
-If Jang was early,
He might have handed the phone over to the chairman.
-Ah, I should have not kept you waiting~
-If you did not take the phone out, Jisoo may have released it someday.
-Bro, release the phone.
-Jisoo.
-If you did not hand over the phone to the chairman...
It would not have came into my possession through Baek.
Hyera.
Everything in this world makes me stronger.
Fight, perservere, and fight again. That's how I lived my life.
Nothing was ever easy.
-Did you become stronger?
How much stronger?
-As much as I can smile at you while knowing that this phone is a duplicate.
Of course, there should be the video.
You copied it.
But Hyera,
This is not PK Jun's phone.
-Why do you think so?
-That's what I would have done If I was him.
Hyera.
As long as you possess someone else's weakness, you cannot become stronger.
If you want to be stronger, throw it.
Throw that phone away.
Don't believe in me, but instead believe in yourself.
Believe that you can become stronger.
Or you can take that phone and go back to the chairman.
Hyera.
Tomorrow will be the beginning of new Republic of Korea.
-Ballot counting is soon. How do you feel?
-Are you sure that you will be elected?
-Candidate Kang Dongyoon,
How do you feel after voting?
-Voting is a right of a citizen.
I hope that this election turns into a joyful celebration.
-Did you vote for your husband?
-I'm only going to tell my husband that later.
