(All characters, organizations, places, cases, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
Where are you going?
I must retrieve his belongings.
It's that jerk.
Jo Jin Gab.
That jerk. I can't let him be.
Yes, ma'am.
That jerk Jo Jin Gab or whatever his name is.
You must take care of him for good.
Jo Jin Gab?
What is it? You can't do it?
Because you knew that mutt?
No, of course not.
Actually, the hunting dog I told you about just came out.
I'll send him there right away.
Okay.
You heard, right?
Yes. I heard it clearly.
Thank you for giving me a chance to repay for your kindness quickly.
I will be your loyal shepherd.
You can't handle him on your own.
Take backup with you.
Okay.
(On Official Duty)
Goodness, who do we have here?
It's my dear Mr. Jo.
Gosh, Mr. Koo. Did you break out of prison?
How could I do that? I'm not Papillon.
You watched too many movies.
The judge set me free because I'm innocent.
Why? Because I'm really innocent.
Look at you. You still haven't come to your senses.
You crashed into my car on purpose. It's attempted murder.
Think about why I didn't finish you off.
I've been thinking of ways to kill you in the slammer.
Should I beat you to death, dry you to death, hang you,
or kill you after stuffing you with fried dumplings for a year?
But now that I'm a free man again,
this is what crossed my mind.
Dying is too easy.
Living is hard.
Living an awful life...
is way, way, way difficult than dying.
What's your point? You're here for your revenge?
Do it already.
I'm on my way somewhere. Let's make this quick.
I know how good you are.
I won't fall for it for the second time, you jerk.
Not being able to work after losing half of your bodily functions...
and living off your family...
as you can't face death...
is the true form of pure torment.
Pound him nicely so he can get a 10-year sick leave.
Get him!
Come here, jerk.
Darn it.
What's that?
(Zero Vermin, Vermin Special Exterminator)
Duk Gu, how did you find me here?
Mr. Jo, this isn't the time to talk.
What are you doing? Crush them.
- Jerk. - Jerk. Darn it.
- Get this. - Hey.
Come here.
Come on. Not the car!
Darn it.
That's right. Hit his back.
Duck.
Move.
Darn it.
You. Get up now. Get up!
Do you want me to fire you all?
What?
Why are you glaring at me? Will you hit me again?
If you punch me one more time, that will cost your job.
You don't have the guts, do you?
If you can't even punch me, lower your eyes, jerk!
Don't make Mr. Jo get all riled up.
Duk Gu.
You go punch him.
That hurts!
- Go hit them more! - I can't.
- That hurts. - It's the police!
It's the police!
What is it?
Hey, Jo Jin Gab!
Consider yourself lucky!
See? All that we needed was a police car.
Why are you guys always dying to fight?
Mr. Jo, you're bleeding!
You're bleeding!
Your forehead is bleeding!
(Special Labor Inspector Jo Jang-Poong)
The police came at just the right time.
Jo Jin Gab, you punk!
(Episode 19)
It's all because of that guy.
Who is he?
I'm Koo Dae Gil. So what?
I thought you guys were good at fighting.
I thought you guys fought well in your heydays.
You guys were ruthlessly beaten. Why couldn't you handle him?
What? Are you going to hit me?
- The emergency is that way. - I have a band-aid on.
A band-aid isn't a cure. You should take an MRI.
I don't need to because I'm fine. I have a rock-hard head.
You still need to! Where are you going?
You need to go to the emergency first.
Why are you going to the 18th floor? Wait.
"18th floor, VIP Center".
Don't tell me you're going to see Choi Seo Ra!
Are you here to see me again?
- No. - I told you we'd be...
seeing each other soon.
You're so impatient. This place is restricted, you know?
Follow me. You've gone insane.
Hey, that's not it. Wait.
Is place is restricted, sir.
Not for me.
I'm from the Industrial Accident Deliberation Committee.
I'm on official duty.
That's not my business.
Even the prosecution can't enter without a pass.
Then where do I get a pass?
We don't grant it to just anyone.
So you should leave.
You keep telling me that this area is restricted,
but isn't this a hospital?
Do people need special rights to enter a hospital?
Of course.
Look.
(Restricted Area, VIP Center)
"VIP".
That's me.
Only very important people are allowed access.
Not just anyone.
Tae Soo, why are you here?
Did you think I'd be rotting in jail?
Don't you know who I am?
Have you ever seen conglomerate children...
rot in prison in this country?
Why are you roaming freely when you should be in jail?
Isn't it obvious?
I'm a patient.
I'm in so much pain.
You know what a panic disorder is, right?
That's what I have.
I have panic disorder.
"Panic"? "Panic"?
I have it.
You punk...
How dare you?
That's enough!
Let him go.
You shouldn't treat a patient like this, Mr. Jo.
Does he look ill to you?
He committed a crime and is pretending to be sick.
He's at a hospital, not in jail.
No one is dumb enough to believe that.
Does he seriously look like a patient to you?
I'm not sure.
I'm a lawyer, not a doctor, you see.
This is what I know.
Under Article 94 of the Criminal Code,
a defendant has the right to apply for bail.
And under Article 36 of the Criminal Code,
an inmate has the right to receive treatment.
A lawyer is not needed for a citizen of this country...
to receive treatment at a hospital.
And according to the law, barging into a ward is considered...
an act of trespassing.
You could be punished.
Let's go, Tae Soo.
Okay. Let's go inside and have a drink.
Hey.
- Mom. - Yes?
Ms. Choi Seo Ra!
The hospital wanted me to leave.
Since my hospital bills were piling up,
they refused to treat me any longer.
But now that my back is completely injured,
I won't be able to work anymore.
If this isn't acknowledged as an industrial accident,
how am I to pay for my hospital bills...
and my grandson's schooling?
So...
why can't it be considered an industrial accident?
Due to the absence of a correlation...
between the claimant's illness and their workplace,
their request for a reexamination is dismissed.
Can you really take care of it?
You two in those patient gowns!
Those gowns aren't for you.
Those gowns must be worn by others!
Soon, I will make you wear...
the blue uniforms that serve you just right!
You just wait. Do you understand?
What is he saying?
That's bulletproof glass, Jo Jang Poong!
I said, no.
It's Choi Seo Ra of Myeongseong Group!
She's a conglomerate, and you're a mere civil servant!
It's impossible for a civil servant to apprehend a chairwoman.
But then again, you're not just any civil servant.
You're like a dog who won't let go once it bites...
Stop it!
- A dog... - I'm positive that...
Mr. Lee Chang Kyu died because of Choi Seo Ra and Yang Tae Soo.
He was fired after exposing...
Myeongseong Group's corrupt deeds.
Especially, his phone.
It's fishy how Chairwoman Choi's secretary confiscated it.
I'm sure there's something going on.
Her secretary?
Are you going to call her?
Do you think I'm dumb?
I'm calling Do Ha.
- You are dumb, indeed. - "Dumb"?
What I mean is,
Do Ha and Seo Ra are a team.
That's because it's his job.
Who knows? Maybe he'll tell us something.
How do you think I knew where you were?
Right, how did you?
You've finally caught on.
How did you know?
We were handling a case regarding an affair.
Hey, you two.
There was another detective agency other than us.
That goes against business ethics.
So in order to set things right...
So exactly how did you know where I was?
I caught them.
But they were men from Myeongseong Group,
not a detective agency.
They said they were from the Management Diagnosis Team.
It's just a fancy name for doing exactly what we do.
It's fishy, right?
So I demanded them to tell me what their team was about.
It's a way for us to keep our eyes on the presidents...
of the subsidiaries.
Anyway, we were just ordered to do this.
By whom?
Do you know who it is?
Who?
Woo Do Ha.
(Team Leader)
Pick up.
(Team Leader)
Hello, this is Woo Do Ha.
The target has been changed. Please check the photo.
Yes, sir.
(Messages)
Mr. Jo?
He's scheming something for sure.
You shouldn't trust him.
How does it make sense...
to call the very person who ordered to harm you?
Do Ha is our enemy!
Did you just dodge?
How dare you dodge once again, you scumbag?
How could you be so incompetent?
How? What in that head of yours?
Why did you even bother to give him another chance?
Hey!
You good-for-nothing!
He's nothing but a useless civil servant!
My gosh! This is driving me crazy! Why do you live?
Why?
You idiot!
My gosh!
I did listen to you and bring him out.
But do you think a loser like him could do something so big?
Yes, because he's a loser.
He's our best candidate to wring out a dry towel.
We also need someone to keep an eye on that civil servant.
That is true.
Gosh.
But that idiot is just too stupid.
That's why it'll prevent him from seeing the big picture.
Things will get too complicated...
with a guy who can see the whole thing.
Someone like you?
You go change it first.
Then I'll believe you.
Then...
I'll try to change too.
Would Do Ha go that far?
- You. - Goodness, Father.
Why do you keep staring at that? I told you to throw it out.
I just looked at it while I was cleaning up.
I can look at it, can't I?
If you didn't work as a teacher, you wouldn't be divorced today.
You lost your wife and kid. What are you staring at that for?
What's with your forehead?
Don't worry. I got scratched while working out.
Stop working out!
Your life became a mess because you worked out.
Goodness, you idiot.
Come on out. Let's take our medicine.
Okay, sure.
Gosh.
Him and his medicine.
Are you really going to let him do this alone?
Even after you saw how they attacked him?
What are you so worried about?
He's in danger so we have to help him.
Are you scared because she's rich?
Are you that scared of that woman, Choi Seo Ra?
She isn't just an ordinary woman.
How can I put this?
She's completely different from the rich people we see on dramas.
Different?
You know, she's a bit...
A bit what?
insane.
Who is it?
Who messed with my son?
Was it you?
No? Was it you?
Wait a minute. You.
It was you, wasn't it?
Answer me!
Was it you?
I see. It was you, wasn't it?
Hey!
It's not like Tae Soo didn't come because he wanted to skip class.
He was too busy getting trained!
She doesn't sound just a little insane.
What's with her?
He was a student-athlete.
He was a jockey.
His desk remained empty ever since that day.
I was very thankful...
because we finally had peace in our classroom.
What are you all doing during your gym class? Get up!
All right, change into your gym clothes and come out to the field.
Who are you?
Me?
The new gym teacher.
(Jo Jin Gab)
Jo Jin Gab.
That was the first day Mr. Jo and I met.
Hey, Tae Soo. I'm your new teacher.
Hello?
What's with him?
Tae Soo, a student must come to school. Why aren't you here?
Hello? Tae Soo. Yang Tae Soo?
Are you sleeping?
Hello, Ms. Choi.
Tae Soo hasn't been coming to...
Did you just swear at me?
One day, the time has finally come.
All right, good job.
Darn it. Lie down.
You!
You.
Do you know who I am?
I don't. Who are you?
Someone who can easily get you fired.
Once I make a call...
You can make that call outside. We're in class.
Outside? You!
You're just a teacher. How dare you tell me to leave?
I am the chairwoman...
of this school!
- You can't throw that. - I'm the chairwoman!
- My goodness. - Okay?
The chairwoman of Myeongseong Group!
You won't listen, will you? Are you crazy?
- Goodness. - I'm the chairwoman here!
Goodness, will you please stay still?
Tell the principal to come!
She deserved that.
Jo Jang Poong wins!
No.
That wasn't a victory. It was just the beginning of a complete defeat.
After that day,
Mr. Jo had to go through indescribable sufferings.
And in the end...
Next story.
There is controversy...
after a video of a high school teacher...
beating up his student has been exposed.
The teacher in question explained that it was an accident...
that occurred while he attempted to correct his student.
Students often called...
the teacher in question as Jo Jang Poong.
The nickname alludes to his violent behaviors.
The school immediately dismissed the teacher...
and will hold a further investigation to see...
if there were any other students victimized by the said teacher.
- Don't let him come back. - Get lost!
- What's wrong with him? - There he is.
- How dare he look so confident? - Don't let him in there.
- Let me get through. - Get lost!
- You can't do that to them! - How dare you beat them?
- Leave, violent teacher! - Leave the place!
- Leave! - Get out of here!
- You! - You can't do this here.
Why are you stopping us?
- Hey! - Get rid of him!
Leave, violent teacher!
That's how he was thrown out of school,
in the most disgraceful way.
Everyone who put up a fight against Choi Seo Ra...
has been destroyed like him.
That's the more reason to protect him this time.
I want to do that too.
But if we lump in without thinking, we can also get destroyed...
in this industry, not just him.
We can't help it.
There's no way around this.
Goodness, why is this agent keep calling...
He was fired after exposing...
Myeongseong Group's corrupt deeds.
Especially, his phone.
It's fishy how Chairwoman Choi's secretary confiscated it.
Her secretary?
That's her. My agent.
Other than Myeongseong Hospital, most of our subsidiaries...
agreed to reconstruct the IT system and signed the contracts.
Why is Myeongseong Hospital left out?
Didn't you get the tampered MRI of Manager Joo's son's medical history?
Chairwoman, we already sealed that deal...
during President Yang's time.
Those guys at the stock market need to be tamed too.
They took thousands of millions of dollars for business trips...
saying they're taking a tour of advanced overseas systems.
They're slacking off too much. Get them disciplined too.
Yes, I will keep them in mind too.
We're going to bring in a huge deal into the foundation.
So Lawyer Woo, get ready for that.
If you need more ammunition,
you can use CEO Koo and Mal Sook...
Yes, Chairwoman.
- You just clipped my foot! - I'm so sorry, Chairwoman.
What do you ever do right?
Goodness, you idiot.
Does your mother know how stupid you are?
Darn it.
Get out of here. Leave! You'll be darned.
That hurts.
Hey!
You can't just leave like that just because I said so.
Come and do something.
Goodness, you dimwit.
Please excuse me.
Be gentle, will you?
Darn you.
I miss you, Mal Sook. Do you want to go out tonight?
Excuse me.
Where is Mr. Jo Jin Gab's seat?
Oh, right here.
But he went out to the field for an investigation.
A field investigation? We don't do that.
How dare he leave without my approval?
You weren't here. So the commissioner signed him off.
Goodness, Commissioner.
- By the way, who are you? - Just an acquaintance.
We aren't that close.
I was just passing by.
- Can you just pass this onto him? - Sure.
Gosh, I shouldn't have come here.
Where did he go?
- Who is she? - She's pretty.
Is she his girlfriend?
Socks?
Then, I guess you didn't know why your husband was...
fired from the hospital.
No, I don't.
I didn't even know he was let go.
The hospital told me it was due to his negligence.
He was a busy intern who couldn't even come home.
How could he have slacked off at work?
By the way, had your husband been suffering...
from a chronic disease?
If you look here,
it says the direct cause of his death...
is the ruptured cerebral aneurysm,
not the external injury from a brick.
This isn't true.
My husband is a doctor.
He was aware of his condition.
But still...
Just to be safe, he took the scans twice a year.
It's smaller than 2mm.
The possibility of it rupturing was less than 1 percent within 1 year.
Okay. I understand.
The committee told me that...
the possibility of dying from...
a falling brick was also less than one cent.
They said that either way, he was just unlucky.
So I should move on...
and go on with my life.
Here's my question.
Why...
did my husband...
get unlucky, fired,
hit by the brick,
and face an unfair death?
Why is only the weak...
so unfortunate like this?
Those rich people seem to dodge these misfortunes well,
but why do these always happen to people like us?
Did we really get unlucky here?
Are you up?
It must've been loud. I'm sorry.
Do you want some juice?
Dad's friend is here.
(Myeongseong Constructions, Construction Site for New Town)
Nonetheless, a man died while working here.
We have the responsibility...
to at least try to help the family...
understand why and how such an unfortunate event occurred.
But what if...
his luck had nothing to do with this?
(Myeongseong Constructions, Construction Site for New Town)
Goodness.
We meet again, Mr. Civil Servant.
At this rate, you might grow on me.
Why are you here?
Show him your respect.
He's the CEO of the headquarters.
CEO?
I see what happened here.
They must definitely be hiding something...
if they appointed you as their puppet CEO.
I'm here to investigate the industrial accident.
We hit 5.4 million hours with no industrial accidents...
and were verified by the committee.
No industrial accidents? Quit dreaming.
A worker here got hit by a brick and died due to the blunt trauma.
Oh, that?
I was informed about the accident,
but that didn't happen at my workplace.
The falling brick didn't kill him.
He died from a disease...
outside the construction site.
They already rejected the claim as it doesn't meet the conditions.
We'll know once we launch a re-investigation.
Do you have the authority to do that?
The protocol doesn't say that I don't have the authority.
That precisely shows that you don't have the authority.
You don't have the authority to investigate.
Yet, you're at my workplace and causing a scene.
Should I file a complaint against you?
Should I cause a royal mess at your new workplace?
You're not a labor inspector anymore. You can't investigate me.
What are you doing? This jerk. Mr. Civil Servant was just leaving.
Send him off.
- That jerk. - Hey.
- You can't come in. - Don't come closer.
- Leave. - Go home.
- I told you to leave. - Go away.
Hold on, sir.
Tell me why Lee Chang Kyu was fired from the hospital.
You fired him because he was the whistleblower, right?
You're no longer a labor inspector.
You can't accuse us of such a violation without proof.
If you need to investigate, bring me an official warrant.
Sir.
Just tell me why he was fired. Please?
Sir!
Hold on. Let go.
Everyone, Mr. Jo is here.
- My gosh. - Goodness. You're one lucky man.
You're doing well, right?
We have a pile of complaints to handle, work late,
and go out to the field to investigate. You know how it is.
Gosh, your new position must be easy for you to have a day off.
You've been well, right?
No, I haven't.
Some guy created a colossal mess and got transferred.
To fill that position, we've been working our head off for that.
Jin Gab.
Goodness, who do we have here?
- Mr. Ha. - Jo Jin Gab.
You've been well, right?
Of course.
Do you know how much I wanted to see you?
I'm glad you're visiting.
Let's go inside.
- Okay. - Go back to work.
Don't.
- Please just hear me out. - There's no need.
I will never allow it.
I suggested him to give us a tip,
and he was unlawfully terminated because he did.
He couldn't even tell his family that he was fired.
He even got into an accident while working at the construction site.
Because I got transferred out before I could take care of this...
How could you do the same thing over there?
Hey. Did I owe you something from my previous life?
Are you here to drag me down?
Why do you keep getting me involved in this?
I'm trying to do it on my own,
but since I don't have the authority, it's not working.
I don't care who it is,
but please spare me a labor inspector.
You're not my employee anymore. Drink your coffee and go.
First, I'll make her drink, and when she gets drunk,
I'll ask her without raising any suspicions.
"I hear you're the chairwoman's secretary."
"Can I ask you what kind of tasks you have there?"
"Why?"
"Why am I curious about that?"
"Because I want to know everything about you."
And once I locate Lee Chang Kyu's cellphone, it's over.
Game over. Perfect. It's perfect.
Great. Yes.
Hey, you're here.
Your outfit today is especially...
- beautiful. - I know.
And your outfit is...
tacky. You know that, right?
Yes, I do.
All right. Shall we go drinking?
Don't try anything funny.
I came today just in case you might come to my work again.
I'll choose what we'll do.
Let's go.
Darn it.
Bring them up, please.
What?
These aren't mine.
One more shot.
I heard...
you're a chairwoman's secretary.
It's not just any chairwoman,
but the chairwoman of Myeongseong Group.
- You know Myeongseong, right? - Yes.
Even college graduates have a hard time getting in there.
That's where I work.
I see.
Then...
Can I ask you what kinds of tasks you have there?
Why are you curious about that?
Because I want to know everything about you.
I'm curious as to what kind of life you live when I'm not there.
I want to know what kinds of tasks she gives you...
and whether or not they're difficult.
What kinds of errands you run for her,
and where do you store the objects related to those errands?
For example, like...
a phone, perhaps?
"A phone"?
Does she make you do such errands as well?
Does she ask you to confiscate someone else's phone?
Of course.
She can't do anything without me.
I see.
You must be a very important person to her.
I see.
You must be a very important person to her.
So...
where did you put that phone?
Don't be mistaken.
I'm not specifically asking about that phone.
You're accepted.
However,
I have a condition.
Don't try...
to find out too much about me.
If you do, you'll get hurt.
Darn.
(Prosecutor's Office, Kim Ji Ran)
Prosecutor Kim, is there no way?
If it's a serious case where one or more deaths have occurred,
a special labor inspection can be done.
But the reevaluation was dismissed.
That means it's not acknowledged as a crime to begin with.
Hold on.
I'm sure this is an industrial accident.
If you look into it...
So why did you get transferred?
You should've only done your given job.
Why did you go overboard and ruin everything?
Please help me this once, ma'am.
Why should I?
Because of our past?
You know that's ridiculous, right?
Move aside.
You don't even have a witness' testimony.
Let's see how well I've filmed it.
It's too weak.
- Did you just dodge? - Should I not have dodged?
How could you dodge after being so incompetent?
No.
It's not like she'll acknowledge it as an industrial accident.
Why did you even bother to give him another chance?
Hello, Lawyer Woo.
- Did you gather the ledgers? - Yes, sir.
Here's 10-years' worth.
Okay.
Ignore everything related to the company,
and only pick the ones related to Chairwoman Choi only.
Yes, sir.
By the way, about that civil servant,
I think it's best to get rid of him this time around.
When he sets his mind on something, he always goes through with it.
He'll ruin the company...
which you're intending to take over.
Didn't I tell you to only do as I say?
I'm sorry, sir.
What is this?
It's dangerous to keep all the money...
you've received in advance.
Donate them as soon as you get them.
You know we've started our operation, right?
Yes, I do.
President Koo.
You should become a true CEO this time around.
Not a puppet.
I'll even sacrifice...
my life for you.
That's too much.
Hey, about this...
I'll be off now.
Gosh, look at him. He's become a true civil servant.
Let's drink this alcohol
Drink, drink, drink
Until when will you keep me waiting?
Bottoms up for the first round
- Of course! - Bottoms up
- Bottoms up - Let's all drink.
You know.
You don't seem to fit in here.
So how did you know about this place?
Actually, a friend of mine...
used to work at that construction site.
- His name was Lee Chang Kyu. - What?
He passed away due to that accident...
last month.
What did you say?
How much was this?
Darn it.
- We'd like to pay. - Hold on.
I won't let this affect you.
Could you just tell me briefly about what had happened?
Are you trying to ruin my life?
- Let's go! - Yes!
See?
I told you no one would help.
If they get fired for giving you information,
they won't be able to find another job.
That's something you should understand.
Yes. Of course.
Excuse me, sir.
I'm looking for witnesses regarding...
the brick accident at the construction site.
- By chance, did you witness... - I did.
A brick fell onto his head.
You saw that?
Is it true that the accident happened...
outside the fenced area?
How high up did the brick fall from?
Very high.
It was 100m.
There was a gust of wind.
It crashed!
I see.
The crane...
fell down.
Sorry?
It wasn't a brick?
That man doesn't even work there.
It's you again.
What is it? Are you going to ask about that brick again?
You're all sobered up.
That's why I'm in pain.
All right. Goodness. Here.
Have your medicine.
Every time my father is in pain,
he drinks this, saying that it's medicine.
He knows what he's talking about.
Sir.
This is good medicine,
but if you're hurt, you should go to a hospital.
Forget about this.
You should take a medicine that will heal you.
It's all useless.
Taking medicines won't suddenly make my leg grow.
Do you see that crane?
I've been a construction worker for 30 years.
That crane is as old as me.
If it was a human, it would've been thrown away by now.
But no one throws away machines.
They fix them again and again...
until they're no longer fixable.
Until they kill someone.
It fell so often.
It fell because of the wind and faulty parts.
Bang Man Bok, Choi Gi Jeong,
Oh Sang Joon, and Son Gi Eun.
They all left...
after suffering critical injuries.
They're all hospitalized.
They'll be kicked out soon due to their hospital bills.
But they still boast about hitting 5.4 million hours...
with no industrial accidents.
That is true, though.
Since the accidents weren't acknowledged as industrial.
They don't acknowledge...
such accidents that easily.
And we know nothing about the law.
(Myeongseong Constructions, Construction Site for New Town)
Yes, I know, ma'am.
I've prepared hallabong.
Yes, ma'am. I'll be there in 30 minutes.
Yes, ma'am. Goodbye.
Taxi! Stop!
- Hello. - Hi.
Looking back at the prior precedents,
it wouldn't have been a problem.
But the world has changed.
Mr. Chief Justice.
The world...
is bound to change...
every five years.
And my ex-husband has been waiting five long years.
You know him very well.
Congressman Yang helped me out very much...
when I became the chief justice.
Over here.
He's my ex-husband's junior.
He owns a hallabong farm in Jeju Island.
And his hallabongs are absolutely delicious.
And as you know,
we always share good food with each other.
(Jeju Hallabong)
I see.
Enjoy, sir.
Enjoy your stay.
Anyway,
where were we? 6 to 5?
Goodness, look who this is.
Aren't you Chairwoman Choi Seo Ra of Myeongseong Group?
I cannot believe I ran into Choi Seo Ra of Myeongseong here.
Chairwoman Choi Seo Ra of Myeongseong Group.
Do you remember me?
I was your son's teacher 10 years ago.
You should be at a hospital. What are you doing here?
Are you allowed to be out here when you're on sick bail?
Goodness.
What are you talking about?
Excuse me, Manager?
You refused to be officially investigated in a VIP hospital room,
claiming that you are sick.
Why did you suddenly get well? That's what I'm asking.
Why did you take Lee Chang Kyu's phone?
Why did you take his article? What were you scared of?
- What? - Hey, what are you doing here?
- Don't you know who he is? - Come out.
Of course, you don't.
A chairwoman like you probably doesn't even care...
if an employee of your company dies or whatever.
But you will have to care soon.
Why? Because I will blow this case up for you!
Be quiet.
And stop wandering about while you're on sick bail, lady!
Darn you.
What is he talking about?
Hey, are you insane? Have you gone crazy?
If you want to die, die alone. Why did you get me involved?
Darn it.
There is no one in this world who can die alone quietly.
That crazy idiot.
What am I going to do? This is bad.
I have to figure this out before I get killed.
Are you the one who got rid of Jo Jin Gab?
What's with those eyes?
Are you worried about him?
No way. I'm worried about myself.
He looked pretty talented. So thought about making a plan...
but got transferred instead.
I might end up taking a blow.
You got Yang Tae Soo out, didn't you?
You and I have...
the worst timing.
That's why I came to tune ourselves.
Let's tune our time to one another.
I think this is the time for us to do that.
Hello?
(Unknown caller)
- Yes. - What did I tell you?
I told you that you have to get rid of Jo Jin Gab!
He followed me of all people.
So I'm about to get killed in Choi Seo Ra's hands!
What should I do now?
How dare a civil servant do that?
Does he have any idea who I am?
Hey!
Why are you standing around, you dimwit?
Call Do Ha immediately!
Yes, Chairwoman.
Darn it, all of you are useless!
Darn it!
Gosh, darn it!
Darn it.
I heard everything from the chief justice.
You should deal with him.
How?
We should let a civil servant deal with another civil servant.
We should do this by the law.
Mal Sook.
You have to run an errand for me.
Let's give out some "rice cake".
Yes, ma'am.
I'll set up a date for a round of golf.
Jo Jin Gab.
I cannot...
tolerate you any longer.
Mr. Jo.
I have to see you right now.
Hey, Do Ha.
Why did you do that?
Didn't you know Choi Seo Ra would be like this?
Didn't I know?
I did.
You people always get rid of civil servants in the same way.
But what could I do?
I had no authority to conduct an investigation,
no one would tell me anything,
and I'm not even allowed to go inside.
I had to create a scene for them to at least notice me.
See? You're visiting me too.
I said I'll take care of this.
That I'll do this by the law...
The law lets healthy people leave on sick bail...
and doesn't let the ill claim their industrial accident insurance.
Will you do this after everyone is dead?
You said that...
you hold yourself back because you're weak...
and you leech off their wealth because you cannot win against them.
No.
You are powerful.
Once you set your mind on it,
you can definitely win against people like Cho Seo Ra and Tae Soo.
Then there will be no more victims like your father.
Darn it!
You greedy jerks!
Is money everything?
Money doesn't come before a person.
I'm going to burn down that little factory!
Darn.
(Vitamin Drink)
(Doctor Kang)
It's in.
Do Ha.
You told me...
to change the world first. But...
it's not easy to do that alone.
If you help...
The world won't change just because I help out a little.
Don't you get it?
I would rather pull myself together...
and live well instead of sitting around like this.
Nothing will get resolved by getting drunk.
Yes, Vice-minister. This is Woo Do Ha.
This time, you have to come out and play golf with me.
Hey, Mr. Jo. Look.
Take a look at this.
You went off work right on time yesterday. How much did you drink?
I'm sorry.
I don't feel so well.
May I go to the hospital later?
Go ahead. You aren't even a great drinker.
- Gosh. - Why do I feel so betrayed?
Hey.
- Go get that ball. - Yes.
- What about you? - Yes.
These days, caddies are pretty talkative too.
I heard the gist from Lawyer Woo.
Yes.
We conducted a management diagnosis...
in case something like that happened for our ethical management.
Goodness, I can't believe something like that happened.
Why are people so unethical?
I was heartbroken,
but I fired the one who bribed him.
But wouldn't it look better for a civil servant...
to fire another civil servant?
Yes, of course.
I sent over inspectors as soon as I heard the story.
We're from the inspection department.
Which one of you is Mr. Jo Jin Gab?
Oh, Mr. Jo went out for a bit. What is it?
We received a report of bribery.
Where is his seat?
Yes, over here.
(Vitamin Drink)
How is it going?
Are you sure he'll go down for bribery?
There are no valuables that come across as bribes,
but he did get free coupons for another bottle.
It's very rare that this turns out to be a bribe.
It's quite difficult to see that as bribes.
No, that can't be right.
I was informed that he received a box...
full of 50-dollar bills.
Are you talking about this?
Mr. Jo! Why aren't you answering my calls?
I had to locate your phone.
How did you find me here?
You can't be drinking rice wine here right now.
This is why I can't ever stay out of this.
They just served you with a big one.
A big one?
Gosh, is this the bribe that I've always been hearing about?
But how did you find out about this?
Actually, I have a source.
They do it to us all the time. So why shouldn't we do the same?
I downloaded the spy application on her phone.
You have to run an errand for me.
Let's give out some "rice cake".
Yes, ma'am.
This is from the chairwoman.
Put this at Jo Jin Gab's seat.
Make sure no one sees it.
Okay.
Mr. Jo!
My gosh, why is there so much money here?
There's so much!
I have so much money here.
I do like rice cake,
but I don't like inedible rice cake like this one.
By the way, Mr. Vice Minister,
I know about the bribery charge.
But which clause of the Penal Code is fabricating a bribery charge?
Something came up. Excuse me.
Take care, Mr. Vice Minister!
I should have gotten you fired that day.
It seems like I've been way too nice on you.
Stop saying you'll get me fired.
The HR system for civil servants isn't that easy to corrupt.
Besides, if you frame me again,
you'll face up to 10 years for fabricating violations.
Hey.
Do you think that I won't be able to take care of something like that?
I'm sure you'll take care of it.
You're dodging all the violations even after stealing...
millions of dollars on a sick bail.
If you know that,
how dare you mess with me?
Ma'am!
If I put it nicely,
you and your son don't seem to understand me.
That's why...
What?
One free drink?
What was the name of the construction company?
Okay.
It's Myeongseong Constructions.
It's in Daewon, Guwon.
I can't give you a special labor inspector just to save one guy.
The story might be different if I get a group petition.
The people you just told me about.
The ones who are at the hospital after settling with the company.
Can you repeat their names again?
- Bang Man Bok? - Yes. Who else?
Choi Gi Jeong, Oh Sang Joon.
- But why do you need their names? - Well,
special labor inspectors can be dispatched...
to workplaces with frequent industrial accidents.
I'm going to ask them to file a petition as a group.
But...
we already wrote in our contracts that we won't ask for settlements.
That won't hold up in court.
Everyone must take action...
to stop accidents like this from happening again.
A group petition...
Gosh.
Jin Gab is learning more tricks every day.
What a sly fox.
(Director Ha Ji Man)
(Inspector in Charge: Lee Dong Young Director: Ha Ji Man)
Hey, Mr. Park.
Is this the best you can do?
When will you finish the construction?
Finish building it with cement or something.
Stop thinking.
Hey, chief.
You'd better manage your guys properly.
How dare you lounge around here?
Sir, look over there.
Who is he?
Hey, who are you to enter my workplace without my permission?
I'm here as a special labor inspector.
What inspector?
What gives you the right to be here?
We filed the petition.
As a group.
Do you think you'll be able to survive this?
Haven't you learned your lesson from the incident 10 years ago?
Who do you think I am?
I'm Choi Seo Ra, the chairwoman of Myeongseong Group.
I'm Choi Seo Ra!
My goodness. Come on.
There you go again.
Are you half whale or what?
Jo Jang Poong!
Burying someone as insignificant as you...
is still a piece of cake for me.
If I'm Jo Jang Poong,
are you Hong Gil Dong who was spotted all over Korea?
Stop roaming around...
and stay in the hospital like you're supposed to, Old Lady!
I'm going to...
visit you to reorganize that corrupted brain of yours soon.
How dare a civil servant to talk to me that way?
Don't you know who I am?
(Special Labor Inspector Jo Jang-Poong)
You jerk, Jo Jin Gab.
Tie them up. Tie all of them up together like yellow corvinas.
How will you take responsibility?
That lunatic, Jo Jin Gab, came again...
and stopped all of my machines.
How will you take care of this?
Are you a thug? Are you a gangster?
No matter how angry you are, you should never hit a coworker.
Was it here?
This was the hideout.
You're dropping bombs left and right towards the end of my directorship.
You're good at your job, Mr. Cheon.
Jo Jin Gab is on the move.
Detectives, go to your positions.
You're trespassing on a private business' property...
and demanding bribes.
This is totally messed up.
Freeze right there, raise your hands, and turn around.
