(Episode 17)
Come here!
Your skull's going to hurt a lot today, hip-hop girl.
Stop right there, you sinners!
Go back.
- Chief Prosecutor. - Don't you know where you belong?
Did you just say you'll do whatever I tell you to do...
without making any mistakes?
Do you even know...
what I'll make you do?
You should know where you belong,
who you are,
and do whatever needs to be done...
before asking me a favour or begging me.
Don't you think so?
I'll correct myself, sir.
I'm sorry.
I'll go back to Yeongwol.
(Chief Prosecutor Kang Seok Tae)
(Chief Prosecutor, Kang Seok Tae)
Yes, Ms. Jeong.
Pardon?
We have breaking news.
The CEO of a food distributor that’s been selling spoiled foods...
is bribing the head of Gudam-Gu Health Office.
With a big smile on his face,
he's accepting the money from the CEO.
The same attitude was observed from the health office employees.
(We oppose the bill to record the activities of pro-Japanese.)
On top of that, the food distributor...
hired a group of gangsters to use force on the police...
and a priest who was helping the police.
The sanitary division that conspired with the food distributor...
and the borough office that let them off the hook.
What I witnessed today was a dishonest act done by...
the officers of Gudam-Gu Office.
This was a report from UBS.
What is wrong with you?
How many times did I tell you to change how you take care of things?
The priest was already determined when he showed up.
Talking things out wouldn't have worked with him anyway.
How can you still send your pathetic minions...
to take care of an important deal?
Either you or Director Kim...
should've been the one who went there!
Okay, fine. I'm sorry.
I am so very sorry.
No, no.
I'm tired of hearing that excuse.
Making a mistake with taking care of Father Lee...
was more than enough.
- Goodness, I'm sorry. - I'm all done.
- She's all yours. - Okay.
Are you okay? You were getting quite a beating earlier.
It wasn't that bad considering that they had more people.
Thank you for what you did earlier, Dae Young.
Oh, that?
Hey, it's the least I could do as your senior.
Is your head okay?
I guess you don't know yet.
My skull is 1.5 times thicker than a normal person's skull.
It's kind of like I'm wearing a bulletproof helmet.
Today was the first day...
that you seemed like a senior ever since I came here.
I guess that's not how you thought of me until now.
How should I describe it?
You've become strong in spirit, and there's passion in your eyes.
My eyes are always filled with passion.
I think you changed because you've been hanging with Father Kim.
What are you talking about?
How can you say that even when you know his nasty temper?
I'm putting up with so much.
By the way, doesn't Father Kim seem like a cop?
He knows everything about our work.
Yes, you're right. He knows a lot more than he should.
Father Kim, did you also get injured?
Not at all.
I'm here to see Detective Seo.
- Are you okay? - Yes, I'm okay.
Father Kim, your hand...
Oh, it's nothing.
Are you okay?
Yes, this is nothing.
We are the assailants.
- No, we're the victims. - We're the victims.
We were going our way,
but the guy in black suddenly started talking about a combination.
He's not here right now, but then she starting kicking me,
and he suddenly attacked me with his head.
Is this what cops do?
Look at what happened to my face.
Gosh, listen to me.
I didn't know it was a bribe.
I thought it was a letter.
- How does that even make sense? - Why would I even take...
How is this even a bribe?
Detective Koo, I just felt sorry for making them work so hard.
Exactly.
So I just thought they could buy themselves some bibimbap.
- Yes, that's exactly what it was. - Be quiet!
Salute.
Why isn't there any progress?
Why did you arrest everyone?
They were all caught in the act,
so we had no choice but to arrest everyone.
Forget it.
Don't even bother filing for an arrest warrant.
Just let them go first and...
You can't let them go.
Why can't I?
I'm the chief of this police station.
Wait a second. I'm hearing something from above.
The Lord is trying to tell me something.
Wait.
From above...
The Lord just told you to shut your mouth.
What?
How dare you tell me to shut my mouth?
No, I didn't say it.
The Lord said it. I'm just telling you what he said.
How dare you?
Are you mocking me?
Hey, you. What did you say? You thought it was a letter?
Are you guys dating?
Did his love for you make your heart flutter and smile?
Well, I'll show you some love as well.
Father Kim.
Why did you have to choose a metal ruler?
We have plastic rulers too.
When you hit someone, it's best to hit them with metal.
Oh, and you.
What kind of expensive bibimbap do you eat?
You're going to get hit with the side of the ruler.
Father Kim.
I'll deal with him.
You should deal with the bobbed hair.
The bobbed hair?
You punk.
I'm not a guy in black.
You're supposed to call me a priest.
- You're dead meat. - Goodness.
How can all of you be so brazen...
when the evidence is so clear?
They're all here.
Right, sir?
I'm about to have a stroke. Massage my neck.
Yes, sir.
- Where are you going? - The Gudam-Gu office.
That's where the fire is, so I should go watch the show.
Are you sure you're not going there to make things worse?
"Then the Lord rained down fire and burning sulfur..."
"from the sky on Sodom and Gomorrah."
Genesis 19:24.
Fire and burning sulfur? Gosh, I have a lot of work to do.
I wonder what he means by fire and burning sulfur.
They can't just avoid us!
- Let us go inside. - We need to talk.
How is this...
All the evidence they have is just some cash...
and a recording of what happened at the scene.
Yes, but you can't get involved right now. Do you understand?
- First, let's watch... - No.
If we give time to the press,
they'll only make things worse by exaggerating things.
I'm going to take immediate measures.
No, you can't do that.
They might be prepared for something else...
I will be very firm in this case.
I will cooperate...
with carrying out a clear and fair investigation.
Were you not aware of the organized...
and chronic irregularities of the health office?
The investigation will show whether it was organized and chronic...
or whether it was just a one-time crime.
So please refrain from writing any articles until then.
And I was not aware of any criminal activities.
What do you plan to do if the irregularities turn out...
to be organized and chronic?
I will disassemble the health office...
and establish a more transparent administration system.
Goodness.
That's it?
I mean, you're the head of the borough.
Are you really blaming everything on your employees and the system?
(Weekly Newspaper of Gudam Church)
Do you hold no responsibility?
With what right are you asking me that question?
Me?
I'm asking as a resident.
Why? Am I not allowed?
Okay, then.
What do I need to do to satisfy you?
That is...
up to you, ma'am.
But if you insist on hearing my opinion,
I think you need to take responsibility...
on their actions, not their intentions.
But if you really feel upset about taking responsibility...
and feel like you didn't do anything wrong,
you can just blame your employees for what happened.
But dodging your responsibility today...
doesn't mean you can do the same tomorrow.
Let me make myself clear.
She's about to burst.
- She's about to burst. - If it turns out...
that the crime was chronic and organized,
I promise that I will step down from my position...
as the chief of borough.
(Press Conference Regarding the Health Office's Bribery)
Was that...
an informal comment?
Ma'am, we should stop.
It was an official and a formal comment.
Goodness, she just shot herself in the foot.
Okay, it's official!
You're really going to step down, right?
That's what I just said in front of everyone.
Then you'd better get ready to step down, ma'am.
(Press Conference Regarding the Health Office's Bribery)
Here's the evidence to prove the irregularities...
of the Gudam-Gu Health Office.
This is a copy of a secret ledger that recorded...
all the bribes that Wangmat Foods gave to the health office...
for the past three years.
And just for your information,
this is only one-tenth of the actual copy.
Goodness, why do you have that?
Are you sure it's legitimate?
Would a priest use a fake?
The real ledger...
will go to Seoul City Hall's Audit Commission.
I will deliver it to them myself.
One more thing!
This is for the reporters present.
It's a gift.
Okay.
Why did she act so rashly?
Today's midday drink was just...
Why is the sun still up?
It wasn't a midday drink.
It was a morning drink.
Good morning.
I'm drunk.
The thieving scum.
Where to?
The Gudam-Gu Health Office's bribery incident...
even got the priest of the local church involved.
He played a pivotal role in bringing the criminals to justice.
- Where shall we go? - Wait, wait.
Gudam-Gu and Chief of Borough Jeong Dong Ja...
had been known to be transparent and incorruptible.
The local residents are in shock.
This was Kim Jeong Nam with RBS News.
Thanks for the update.
Have a nice day.
I looked into the guy you mentioned yesterday.
He's no ordinary guy.
He's a North Korean under protection,
one of our agents,
or he's someone...
whose identity can't be known.
Yes, this is it.
Even my chief can't shun me now.
You scored big.
You're so good at teasing people.
I didn't tease her.
God told me to reveal her conceitedness.
How did you get your hands on...
Wangmat Foods's secret ledger?
Let's work together.
There is something you must...
hear for me.
Then where...
Shall we put it there?
There's a door in the warehouse that we covered up.
- What? - We can put the ledger there.
Look for a door somewhere.
A hidden door.
That's it, Song Sac. Get it.
- You get it. - I'll stand watch.
- No... - Just get it.
- Go. - You go.
(Ledger)
Yo Han and Song Sac?
Come on.
- You knew as well. - I did?
I didn't know.
You caught on as soon as you saw Yo Han.
You pretended you needed to poop to call Hwang Cheol Bum.
No. Why would I do that? That's just not right.
You got really stressed out when I didn't let you go.
If you really needed to poop, you'd have done so on the roof.
I'm picky where I sleep and poop.
I don't go just anywhere.
At the station in the morning.
You pretended to have a stomachache...
to contact Hwang Cheol Bum.
What?
No, why... How...
Now that's just unreasonable fishing.
I can barely speak. My goodness.
I'd have beaten you up if you hadn't saved Detective Seo.
That impulsive good deed saved your life, okay?
Why is poop your only excuse?
I didn't...
He did all the talking and walked off?
I feel wronged.
That's not true.
Find out by tonight.
Who took Wangmat Foods' ledger.
Yes, sir.
It's gotten worse and I'm cornered.
Okay.
I have important information.
What? That priest?
- Are you sure? - Yes.
It's from the NIS.
He's someone whose identity no one can know?
Yes.
The Gudam Church priesthood could be his cover.
Now it's all making sense.
I knew there was something about him.
That thing about the Pope.
Unless some other power got involved,
the Vatican?
There's no way he got a message to them.
That's what I'm saying.
Well done, Prosecutor Park.
Forget about all this. Come right back.
Don't just stand there. Go.
Yes, sir.
Why are you bothering me so endlessly?
There's something I must tell you.
I'm going out. You have a minute.
It's about Father Kim Hae Il.
- What about him? - He's...
- He's... - What about that priest?
He's...
About what he did today.
Wangmat Foods and the Chief of Borough's resignation.
What about it?
I can sort it out.
You can?
- How? - Well... I...
They say battles and paintings...
are best viewed from a distance.
I was at a distance.
And what did you see?
Could I continue after a glass of water?
It's your last shot.
Go with your initial plan.
Yes, sir.
Your stint in Yeongwol worked.
You're all fired up again.
Thank you.
- Let's talk later. - Yes, sir.
Goodbye.
This wasn't it.
This...
Say hello later.
Bring me everything on the Wangmat Foods case.
- Okay. - Okay.
Where's the warrant.
We should get it before dinner.
You got the Chief of Borough really good.
Thanks to Yo Han and Song Sac.
Just a moment.
When did you two become so chummy?
Since we brought in the thugs.
We should be close.
He's my tutor.
Your tutor? On what?
Will you become a nun?
No. I'm learning all sorts of things.
My gosh. What about me then?
If I'm not your tutor, am I just a stick?
I'll take the original ledger to City Hall.
Shall I come with you?
- I'll go on my own. - Take care.
Bye.
What was that laugh?
What did that mean?
Today again, I laughed.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
It started off with a batch of tainted food.
Yes.
The butterfly effect led to...
Jeong Dong Ja's resignation.
Gosh, this priest is a real tsunami.
He's overly persistent.
The real victim is the kid in the hospital.
Scumbags who toy around with food...
should all be rounded up...
Shall we kill them all? Hire a hitman to do the job?
Sorry. I thought about my own daughter.
The head and staff of the Gudam-Gu Health Office,
the sick kid's representatives,
lawyers, Wangmat Foods' people.
Bring them all to Gudam Police Station.
And cast a reporter who's great at putting together a story.
- Right now. - Okay, I'm on it.
Father.
The ledger.
Oh, that.
I couldn't see it. Hand it over.
Father.
I'll go to City Hall.
You?
I'll finish it up.
I got the ledger and made the copies.
Will you be okay?
I think doing this...
made my heart beat like this.
I think I've done something really brave.
That's how it works.
You're super scared, but you're really proud at the same time.
- Then have a safe trip. - Okay.
Brother Yo Han.
What's taking so long to issue the warrant?
It'll be issued soon.
What would you like to eat?
Could you wait for a little more?
Why should I? I'm starving.
Let's have a big dinner. It's my treat.
Really?
Think of what you want to have.
I'll look up good restaurants nearby.
Are there any cost-effective restaurants?
I'll be right back.
Come back quickly.
I won't treat you if you come late.
(Warm and trustworthy police that serve our citizens)
What's with your reactions?
We wondered...
why you were obsessed with Wangmat Foods.
I know it's related to what happened to Eun Ji,
but I thought investigation on Father Lee came first.
Defeating Goliath...
was your big picture, Father Kim.
The opponents need to be weakened,
so we can obtain the information we want.
We didn't know you had such a great purpose.
You've done great work, Father.
He didn't do a great job.
He could've been in big trouble.
You can't beat them too harshly...
and curse at them so much.
That could hurt you...
and damage your mental health.
Oh, right. I heard you asked this to Father Han.
You asked him if I got my characters checked...
before I became a priest.
Father Kim.
Father Han.
I just said that for fun.
How can you laugh?
Father Han.
Seriously.
So then are we settled...
with Eun Ji's hospital fees?
Yes, we can be indemnified through trials.
It'll include all the expenses we've been covering.
Thank you, Lord.
Father Lee would've been really happy.
Hang in there.
You'll be able to meet your friends soon.
