(Episode 2)
What happened?
Do you need to even ask? He took care of it on his own again.
(Oh Ha Ra, Supreme Prosecutors' Office)
I'm really thankful.
What do you mean?
I'm thankful that you've gotten so pretty since the last time we met.
Prosecutor Oh, it was great seeing you today.
I have an appointment today.
I'll treat you to a meal some other time.
- That's the machinery room. - I knew that.
(Prosecutors' Office)
It doesn't open, right?
It doesn't.
I get that you're excited to see me, but there are people here.
I'll confiscate this for now.
It's truly great to see you,
Sa Do Chan.
Have you ever been in the box?
You don't have a criminal record.
Hey, listen. I think you've gotten the wrong idea here.
I want you to remind yourself all the illegal activities...
you have committed in your lifetime.
What's happening?
How does she know my name?
Who on earth is she?
Pass.
Stop.
I checked with the white collar division,
and he's a famous con artist in that field.
A con artist?
He has an IQ of 168. He's a genius.
He chooses targets that can't report him for fraud...
and disappears without a trace.
That's why he has no priors.
I like him. He's perfect.
Coax him, cuff him, do whatever it takes to bring him.
Pardon?
I need...
this man.
Excuse me.
Hello, Ms. Oh. I've found Sa Do Chan.
You have? Bring him in right away.
Actually, he's headed there now.
Sorry?
One.
Two.
How can he look so alike?
I won't give you two and a half. I'll give you to three.
Three...
Joon Soo!
It's been so long. How have you been?
My gosh. You've gained weight.
You've been working out.
He looks exactly the same.
How is this possible?
Do you think there's a family secret that Joon Soo is unaware of?
They say there are at least...
seven people in the world who look exactly like you...
who aren't your identical twins.
It's been proven scientifically.
Then what is this?
Are you saying Joon Soo happens to look identical to a con artist?
Sir. This is a gift from above.
Come on. He's a con artist.
That's why it's so perfect.
Hey.
Hey. Is anyone there?
I know you're there.
I'm Baek Joon Soo, a prosecutor.
I got locked in here after interrogating a suspect.
I get this feeling that you need to let me out right away.
I really can't see a thing.
Ha Ra.
One false move, and we lose our jobs.
I don't know. Whatever. Whatever.
You take care of it.
Sir!
I knew it.
Hey, Oh. You're making a mistake.
I don't know what the misunderstanding is,
but you shouldn't be so rude to someone more senior to you.
Our office has problems.
Also, what did you call me?
Sa... Sa something. You must've confused me for him.
You can't do this to your senior prosecutor.
I wanted to report you to Internal Affairs, but...
Sure, sure. Everyone makes mistakes.
I'm nothing without government, understanding, and sincerity.
Let me give you a warning out of all sincerity...
A man who deceives people talking about sincerity?
Do you know where you are? You're in the Prosecutors' Office.
How dare you impersonate a prosecutor?
Do you want to go to jail for impersonating a civil servant?
Your heart is beating way too quickly.
Are you impersonating a doctor this time?
Okay. Let's discuss this strange situation.
Simulacrum.
French philosopher Jean Baudrillard said...
the 21st century is headed toward a world of simulation,
in which that which is fake is more real than that which is real.
Simulacrum is an artificial object made to look real...
when it does not exist in real life.
However, it is not in fact hiding the truth.
What gibberish is that?
Let's make a deal.
You knew I wasn't Baek Joon Soo,
so why did you treat me before as if I was?
That means you knew I was a copy, and not the original.
Now, we're talking.
I like that you're smart.
That's absurd.
Are you telling me to be a real prosecutor?
How dare a con artist be a prosecutor?
You just told me to.
I didn't tell you to be a prosecutor.
I said to pretend to be Joon Soo and pick up something.
- You're a total fraud too. - What?
You want me to commit fraud within the Prosecutor's Office.
Are you mad? Who said to do it in the Prosecutor's Office?
I'm asking you to fill in for Joon Soo since you look like him.
It'll only be once. Never again.
- What if I refuse? - Should I call back...
your guests from before?
What if Nam Seung Tae figures it out?
He met the real Joon Soo before.
That guy has more to offer than meets the eye.
Mr. Baek?
I heard you got hurt yesterday.
It was nothing serious. It was a minor fender bender.
You seem much more cheerful than before.
The truth is, it was a major accident.
I almost died.
They say your personality changes after a near-death experience.
Did you bring it?
It's in the Spain Cultural Center.
Spain Cultural Center?
There's a secret safe under the Don Quixote statue.
What's the code to the safe?
My cousin who works there knows.
Go at closing time on Saturday, and he'll tell you.
I sent him your picture.
What...
He said he had the item. Now, it's at the Spain Cultural Center?
He said he didn't bring it because he was being chased.
What is in there, anyway?
Is it a diamond or something?
Okay. I've done my part.
Wait.
Sir. Why don't you call the hospital and ask how Joon Soo is doing?
Sure. I'll do that.
Hey, it's me. How's Joon Soo doing?
Can he wake up in a day or two?
Okay.
He doesn't think he'll wake up before Saturday.
I'm sorry, but since you're in anyway,
can you help us on Saturday too?
You said it would only be once.
You have a wicked habit of going back on your word.
This is why the Justice Department lost all credibility with people.
It's sad, but true.
Hey, you con artist! You have to do it, or I'll lock you up!
Do you have evidence that I committed fraud?
If you do, bring a warrant!
This is the thanks I get for helping.
Darn it.
That kid's got a temper.
Still, how could he just go?
Hey, he's coming back. He's coming.
I have a condition.
I need to see Baek Joon Soo with my own eyes.
I need to check for myself whether or not you're telling the truth.
Then let's go. Okay. Get in. Get in.
Hey, Director Hyun.
He really looks just like him.
- Hello. - Hi.
(Restricted Area)
Do you believe me now?
We can't let others know what happened.
But I can't tell you why.
Fine. I'll do it.
Seeing a guy who looks just like me in this condition...
does make me feel bad.
My heart might beat slowly,
but it doesn't mean I'm coldhearted.
I'll be a prosecutor.
- What? - What?
You'll pretend to be a prosecutor again?
It's too risky.
Besides, you hate pretending to be a prosecutor.
I'm against this too.
You can't trust that sly prosecutor. How can you work with her?
What if she stabs you in the back?
Don't worry.
Wouldn't it feel rewarding if I do a good deed?
My gosh. I don't know anymore.
All right. Say that we do get the code somehow.
How are we going to take the item out of there?
Why did he have to put it there?
We can get a warrant and march in there legally.
Why is that a problem?
We can't get a warrant.
The moment we file for one,
certain people will find out.
We must do this discreetly.
I know some people who are good at that.
Should I ask them to steal it?
Then we'd be obtaining the evidence illegally.
The evidence will be tainted.
We can't steal...
and must follow the rules of evidence?
Seriously? Are you trying to draw a triangle with four angles?
A prosecutor's job is quite complicated.
That's why we're having this meeting.
We can create an incident that will allow us to enter without a warrant.
Without a warrant?
Crime scene.
(The scene where the criminal activity took place)
Spain Cultural Center.
We can make that place a crime scene.
Listen up. First stage.
I will enter the center.
I will get in there in the afternoon without hiding anything.
An actor from our side will pretend to be a resident...
who is a strong supporter of redevelopment of the area.
I will blow this place up!
When he causes a scene while claiming he will blow up the center,
I, who happens to be here by a mere chance,
will try to stop the individual, and we'll get into a fight.
Wait, there's a bomb!
When the machine starts beeping which I installed earlier,
people will assume that there's a bomb...
and evacuate.
At that moment, to defuse a bomb,
Explosive Ordnance Disposal from the SWAT team will be dispatched.
After that...
We'll stumble across the evidence on the crime scene.
Just like this.
- Bingo. - "We"?
My goodness. This isn't an idea a guy who received...
standard education can think of.
Hey, are you sure we can handle this?
I must quit if I only take on cases I can handle.
Don't be so quick to say something like that.
Hey, I understand you might feel this way since you're young.
What about me? Did you think about me?
My daughter needs to get married, you know.
She's in high school.
Hey, you said you wanted to become the prosecutor general.
I know that you didn't go to college in Seoul,
but you have the highest rate among your colleagues.
Will you risk that?
It's not just about my daughter.
I'm only telling you because I'm worried about you.
Look. If the higher-ups finds out about this,
they will start with dismissing you.
And you won't even be able to open a law practice. Got that?
Are you even listening to me?
Yes.
Okay, then...
Can you count me out of tomorrow's operation?
- No, I can't. - My gosh.
(CEO Geum Tae Woong)
Did you locate Nam Seung Tae?
I'm still on it, sir.
He hasn't come home for days.
I can't locate him since he's using a burner phone.
Since Baek Joon Soo is dead,
there's nothing Nam Seung Tae can do now.
That's not a sure thing, is it?
That Baek Joon Soo is dead.
Get in touch with him.
Tell him that I'll match his number and hand it over to us.
For now, catching the guy is our first priority.
We can decide whether to kill or spare him once we have him.
Yes, sir.
The prosecutors cannot get their hands on it.
We must acquire it first and get rid of it.
(Exhibit on the History of Spanish Architecture)
Make no mistakes.
Hey, what is it? What?
Why does the superintendent want to see me?
Okay, I'm on my way.
Chief Yang.
Would you stop that?
I'm going in.
Will this work?
It has to work.
(Spain Cultural Center)
5, 4, 3, 5.
The center is costing us the redevelopment!
Let's blow up this place! Let's do it!
Bomb this place!
Bomb this place! Bomb this place!
Bomb this place!
Bomb this center! Bomb...
Who are they?
What's going on?
Hey, Fake Prosecutor.
Who are you?
Does the name, Cho Sung Doo, ring any bells?
The gambling in the deserted island.
Why don't you enjoy your own funeral today?
Hey, get started.
You little squirrel.
- Hey, take the front. - Darn it.
Hey, Sa Do Chan!
What's going on?
What's all that noise?
This is bad. Something went wrong.
Hey!
Sir.
What...
Sir!
Oh my gosh!
This is the Spain Cultural Center.
You need to come here, quick.
No!
(Spain Cultural Center)
What happened?
His BP is 120 over 80. He'll go into shock...
Blood pressure of 120 over 80 is normal, punk.
What shock?
Seriously. You are normal.
I gave up 5 million dollars...
because I trusted you, Mr. Baek.
We'll do anything for money.
Take this. You'll need it.
That was an incredible switch.
I'm sure they never imagined you'd scam prosecutors.
Give me the bag.
I told you. Prosecutors care only about being promoted.
They don't care about con artists like us.
The prosecutors are the problem.
Open it.
Sa Do Chan!
(Switch - Change the World)
How dare you stab prosecutors in the back?
I'll need insurance if I'm going to work with you.
How cheap of you to threaten me.
You make me play a prosecutor, and now you want to change my life?
- Just while you're doing it... - Hello.
I'm a prosecutor. Baek Joon Soo.
Baek Joon Soo is alive.
Joon Soo. Give it to him.
- Give it to Joon Soo. - Please...
catch the bad guy.
I have a habit of keeping every promise that I make.
- Do Chan! - Did something happen?
- Do Chan. - You have no respect...
for prosecutors.
Who are you people?
