MAN:
Who in the world did something like this?
(gun cocks)
(groaning)
(gunshot)
(gunshot)
(gun clacks)
He fooled me?
How dare he…
Go bring the real Adamas.
Your father knows where it is.
Got that?
I'm talking about Lee Changwoo.
I think we're done talking.
Jeez.
(thuds)
You bastard.
(clatters)
(tires screech)
GANGWON POLICE STATION
Damn.
-What happened? Where's Mr. Ha?
-What?
He's in there.
Damn it.
EVIDENCE ROOM
Mr. Ha, are you okay?
(breathes heavily)
(groaning)
MR. CHOI: What?
(panting)
(panting continues)
-It's really good. Try a bite.
-Really?
-Hwang Byungchul!
-Go on.
-Nice, good.
-Hwang Byungchul!
CANDIDATE HWANG FOCUSES
HIS LAST CAMPAIGN IN SEOUL
Sangam Market
where Hwang Byungchul is campaigning.
The bomb must be there.
Mr. Kang, hurry up and let his camp know.
SUHYEON:
Hwang Byungchul wasn't at the ceremony.
He should've pushed everything aside
to be there,
but he wasn't invited.
It must've been intentional.
They wanted him
to be somewhere else at the time.
Gather our people immediately.
We must go to Sangam Market.
EOD
(crowd chanting)
Hwang Byungchul! Hwang Byungchul!
-Hwang Byungchul!
-Hwang Byungchul!
-Hwang Byungchul!
-Sorry? Who is this?
(chanting continues)
Hwang Byungchul! Hwang Byungchul!
It must've been tough.
We just need to cut this thing off now.
Okay.
Do you want some water?
Thank you.
Let me tape up your hand again.
It's gotten loose.
SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS HEADQUARTERS
KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY
POLICE: Hold this tightly.
Where did the tape go?
(revving)
Mr. Hwang.
What's wrong? I'm in the middle
of communicating with my supporters.
(laughs)
What?
Let's go.
Excuse me.
Can you hurry up with the taping?
I'm suddenly feeling very dizzy.
Excuse me?
Should we evacuate the people?
No way. If we let them know,
things could get too crazy
for us to get out of here.
-MAN 1: Candidate Hwang!
-WOMAN: Where is he going?
-MAN 2: Candidate Hwang!
-MAN 3: Should we follow him?
-Let's follow him.
-MAN 4: Candidate Hwang.
(groans)
Please do something…
Damn bastard.
(breathing heavily)
What?
Hey, go start the engine already.
-BODYGUARD: Yes, sir. Hurry up!
-BYUNGCHUL: Now!
Hwang Byungchul is the target.
Let's go!
What's your deal? Move!
What… Move out of the way!
-Wait, wait.
-What?
I'm Prosecutor Song Suhyeon.
Mr. Hwang.
-What… What are you doing?
-You're in danger, sir.
What's wrong with you?
You're their target.
What?
KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY
(men grunt)
(crowd clamoring)
(clamoring continues)
(panting)
Are you okay?
REPORTER 1:
A bomb exploded at the location
where Candidate Hwang Byungchul
was campaigning for the election,
and the anxiety is spreading nationwide.
REPORTER 2:
Realizing the gravity of this attack
targeting unspecified individuals,
the police declared they'd form
a special investigation team
and get to the bottom of this incident.
REPORTER 3:
They are also checking if it's related
to the suicide bomb threat
which took place
in the Special Investigations Headquarters
at the same time.
A BREACH IN THE SIH,
SUICIDE BOMBING ATTEMPT
HYESOO: There's not even a single article
about the ceremony.
Chairman Kwon Jaekyu!
MS. KWON: You murderer.
HYESOO: He managed to silence
all those people.
MS. OH: Hurry inside and don't come out
until I give you further instructions.
Hurry up. Now!
Hurry up. Run!
Go and lock the doors. Don't come out.
-What's going on?
-Oh, my goodness.
MS. OH: Well…
That girl is here.
It's been a while.
Right.
Long time no see.
What brings you here all of a sudden?
What brings me here? I'm not sure.
Still so pretty, sis.
If you're talking about Ms. Yoon,
she's inside.
But I doubt you're here
to see your older sister.
You've become so mean.
Is it because of Minjo's death?
Those mean words
make you look even prettier.
The old man summoned me.
I guess he wants someone dead again.
RECEPTION DESK
My goodness.
Those bastards.
Are you awake?
Yes.
Are you feeling okay?
(gasps)
What is this?
The suicide bombing has become a fact.
But I'm glad you're safe.
That's good enough.
I'm sorry for your trouble.
And thank you for being alive.
That's all?
-What?
-Is that all?
Say a little more.
I barely managed to survive.
(chuckles)
You're lying in bed handcuffed.
How can you be smiling?
I even put on an explosive vest.
I've got to stay strong.
Ms. Kim.
Listen carefully.
Narcotics were found in your blood.
What?
(grunts)
Oh.
Then the police might think
that I committed it under the influence.
No, no one thinks you committed it alone.
They think someone pulled the strings.
Naturally, they will dig
into who's behind it.
(Seohee sighs)
What?
To reveal that I was kidnapped,
I must single out Team A.
But then the SIH will inevitably
be brought up to the surface.
Will they be safe?
Don't worry.
They already got dragged out
even if not for you.
It's already begun.
KOREAN SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS HEADQUARTERS
At 7:23 p.m. yesterday,
the suspect showed up in a suicide vest
at the lobby of this building.
We immediately called in
the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team
and the bomb was deactivated
safely at 10:46 p.m.
The bomb will be
analyzed thoroughly in a safe location.
Afterward, we will organize a task force
to focus on investigating the case.
Sir, there has been a report
that this culprit has something
to do with the terrorist attack
at Candidate Hwang's campaign rally.
REPORTER: Is it true?
What's your stance about Hwang's argument?
Do you think it's credible?
That matter
is currently under investigation.
It certainly was a conspiracy
to assassinate me!
Just three days
before the presidential election,
this kind of terrorist attack took place.
It means they thought
I was likely to be elected
and pulled this despicable scheme
to stop me from becoming president.
STRONGLY CLAIMS ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT
I know there's a mastermind behind this.
BYUNGCHUL: Are you sure?
Was the call really
from Kang Hyukpil of the SIH?
Yes, I'm sure.
Good.
It's going to make a nice picture
with just a little touch.
You know who Mr. Kang is.
He works for the president.
This is going to be the perfect chance
to wipe them all out.
(laughs)
Please understand that we can't share
any more details about the investigation.
That's all for today.
-REPORTER 1: Mr. Kang, wait.
-REPORTER 2: Mr. Kang.
-Mr. Kang.
-REPORTER 3: Just a moment.
It won't end only with you.
Everyone in this field
knows who is behind you.
They will use me to go after the VIP?
It's an undeniable fact that the VIP
is connected to the SIH.
HYUKPIL:
Consequentially, the SIH is intact
while Hwang's side was bombed.
They could take the fall for this.
Mr. Kang, that bomb.
You know where it came from
if it was Team A's doing.
Compare it with every bomb
produced by ARES.
See if any component matches.
That's why they needed me.
The target was
Hwang Byungchul,
whom I went after obsessively.
They'll tie in the SIH too.
(sighs)
Darn it, that sure was a fatal blow.
We'll fight right back.
Tell the police the truth.
-The truth?
-About my father's case.
That you witnessed the case,
and the Adamas
is the missing murder weapon.
You tried to look into it,
and some unidentified people…
Are you following?
You want to drag Chairman Kwon into it?
A TERRORIST ATTACK TAKES PLACE
AT CANDIDATE HWANG'S CAMPAIGN RALLY
Mr. Lee ordered it.
You weren't aware of it?
Hyunjo gave his permission, I heard.
May I leave?
(door opens, closes)
I apologize.
I thought this would make way
for the legalization of firearms--
Shut it!
Father.
You fool.
-Sun?
-JEONG: Yes.
The chairman summoned her himself.
Really?
Will it be okay? He might get furious
about this incident.
It will be okay.
-Pardon?
-The chairman would know
why his stupid son needs me.
He caused a huge mess out of things,
and the world's going crazy about it.
Somebody has to clean that up
for his sake, you know.
KWON: Everyone else knows
that Mr. Lee made a fool out of you.
Your dog attacked you,
but you don't even know
that you were attacked.
How can you become the owner of Haesong
when you can't even
control your underlings?
How dare you!
Father, it was all for your sake.
Those rats from the SIH
dared to dig into your past.
-I wanted to wipe them all out--
-So,
are they gone?
-It's not over yet.
-Enough!
What happened in the past
isn't yours to meddle with.
The Adamas
is already broken.
The murder weapon doesn't exist anymore.
The Adamas is broken?
What do you mean by that?
HYUNJO:
I don't understand. Why would it break?
How could a diamond…
(Kwon sighs)
The Adamas is a fake?
Then where is the real one?
Father.
Only Lee Changwoo would know.
(sighs)
That bastard switched it?
At that time 22 years ago?
(Hyunjo scoffs)
(laughs)
So?
What do you mean, so?
That bastard is still alive.
He dared mess with the Adamas,
and you're keeping him alive?
-Then should I kill him?
-Of course!
He deserves to die countless times.
Then how will we find the real one?
We must find the real Adamas
and bring it here.
It wasn't a coincidence
Mr. Ha came to this house.
(gun cocks)
(clicks)
I'd like to write a memoir.
Ms. Yoon, check if there's
anyone eligible to ghostwrite it.
The name is Ha Woosin.
Hey, sis.
Hi.
Have you been well?
It's been a while,
but you don't seem glad to see me.
I thought about you often.
(whimpers)
Every time I kill someone,
I imagine it's you.
Sis.
You must be happy.
At your happiest moment,
we'll meet again.
(Sun laughs)
KWON: The Adamas is already broken.
The murder weapon doesn't exist anymore.
It was a fake.
KWON: We must find the real Adamas
and bring it here.
(scoffs)
He spared Ha Woosin's life
to find the Adamas.
DONGRIM: Mr. Ha.
Mr. Ha.
Mr. Ha?
Mr. Ha.
Where did he go?
DONGRIM
(ringing)
Mr. Ha, where are you?
Nothing happened to you, right?
Jeez, talk quietly.
Thank goodness.
I was startled because you weren't home.
DONGRIM: I thought Chairman Kwon
had killed you already.
What are you doing at my place?
I was scared to be home alone.
What if they come to retaliate?
(scoffs)
Didn't you think
it'd be more dangerous there?
DONGRIM:
Still, there's strength in numbers.
If something happens,
I'll call the police while you face them.
Or should I be with my parents
at the hospital?
Suit yourself.
DONGRIM: Where are you, by the way?
It's dangerous to be alone. Come home.
Sleep on the couch, not the bed.
Where are you?
Should I go to where you are?
I said, not the bed.
He's just so fearless.
Goodness, I'm tired.
(sighs)
(Agent Park panting)
How did it go?
The signal is blocked.
It's the same for mine.
They blocked it intentionally.
It's a means to protect
the infiltration agents.
After what happened at the ceremony,
this place is almost unapproachable now.
What are you going to do?
The headquarters will do their work,
and we'll do ours.
We've got an unexpected problem here too.
Ask me any questions.
I'll tell you everything.
Lee Changwoo murdered
Song Soonho 22 years ago,
but it was actually Chairman Kwon.
Is that what you're saying?
That's right.
Can you prove it?
An arrest warrant might be issued
with Ms. Kwon's testimony.
The arrowhead is broken,
but there may be a bloodstain
left inside the arrow shaft.
If it turns out to be Song Soonho's blood,
the game will be over.
Even if there isn't any blood,
we can compare the evidence
with the scar on his skeleton.
-Okay.
-I've still got a chance.
MR. LEE: Mr. Choi.
What is it, Mr. Lee?
MR. LEE: Mr. Ha is here.
He wants to meet the chairman.
(knocks on door)
I need to talk to the chairman in private.
Will you give us some space?
(sighs)
How dare you--
Hyunjo, he's my guest.
I met the man you sent.
And I received your message.
How similar. Those eyes…
HYESOO: What are you doing? This is rude.
That writer is here.
Aren't you glad?
You two seemed quite close.
I know you aren't jealous,
so what's the meaning of this?
(sighs)
You're a smart woman.
Did you really not know?
Why that writer came to this house.
Maybe he approached you.
A lonely woman
is such easy prey.
You have a point.
But sadly, he's not interested in me.
Although I am.
Don't blame me.
It was Ms. Yoon who recommended him.
Shouldn't you be busy right now?
Ms. Kwon seemed to know something.
I wonder what she will say to the police.
Your father was just like you.
Being a hound didn't suit him.
Just what happened?
I was betrayed.
Me.
KWON:
You're becoming more popular by the day.
The media are calling you
a Robin Hood figure.
(laughs)
The notorious thief
is now a national star.
Thanks to it, anything you steal
gets branded to be dirty
and corrupt right away.
The management support department
will be expanded to a specialized team.
Of course, you'll be in charge.
Sir.
I'd like to stop here.
CHANGWOO:
I think this is where my part ends.
Is it because of that woman?
Is she pregnant or something?
(sighs)
I didn't know it was twins.
He wanted to leave, didn't he?
I'm certain that I've been
more loyal to you than anyone else.
I did everything you asked.
And I carried it out.
Now,
I'd like to be forgotten.
Would you be forgotten
just because I forget you?
The whole organization remembers you.
Everyone we've discarded
was sent to their grave, right?
-Sir.
-No exceptions are allowed.
-Sir.
-Go back.
(sighs)
(sighs)
Please promise me
just one thing.
That you will
end it with me.
You should've shot me.
Then I would've
wanted to kill you.
The police will receive an anonymous tip.
You will be arrested red-handed next time.
KWON: Fifteen years should be enough.
By then, I might be able
to forget you.
Did you want to spare his life?
(sighs)
Even you figured that out.
I wonder why your father couldn't.
Rotting in prison for 15 years,
he probably got an urge to take revenge.
KWON: How could he steal the Adamas?
I tried to keep my promise
at that time as well.
By killing him only.
Instead,
Song Soonho ended up dying.
Your father gained a lot from this anyway.
For 22 years,
he deceived me completely.
Now you should
pay off that debt.
So you planned it all from the start.
You lured me into this house,
knowing that I'd try to steal the Adamas.
All to find the real Adamas.
-(chuckles)
-But just one thing.
Ms. Kwon's actions were unexpected.
It was 22 years ago.
At around 3 a.m. on May 5…
Jeez, that's a horrible nightmare.
It wasn't a dream. Hyunjo and I saw it.
Our father
killed someone with the Adamas.
What are you talking about?
Lee Changwoo. His name was Lee Changwoo.
Lee Changwoo.
You heard this?
(table clacks)
I clearly did.
At that time, I didn't understand.
ROBIN HOOD LEE CHANGWOO
KILLS A MAN IN HIS 40S
MS. KWON: But the next day,
I saw the newspaper and realized
that the Adamas
was the missing murder weapon.
That Chairman Kwon ordered
Lee Changwoo to kill that man.
Lee Changwoo
was his devoted right-hand man.
Don't tell me
you actually think Father killed him.
I think it's plausible enough.
What about you?
You're crossing the line here, fearlessly.
I've got nothing to fear.
A coward is
rather a word to describe you.
You've always been scared of your father.
I see.
That's why you're asking me
these leading questions.
You're even recording this conversation.
NEW RECORDING
Right?
(sighs)
Please, Hyesoo.
Please don't do this.
If you keep acting up,
Father will kill you for real.
(chuckles)
(scoffs)
(laughing)
Is this funny to you?
The chairman can't kill me.
Because I'm the only one
who reminds him of Minjo.
He had to kill
his most beloved son himself.
And I'm the woman that son loved.
I'm better than you,
the stupid and pathetic replacement.
No?
Right.
Minjo is the reason
you're still alive.
Hyesoo, who do you think
would suffer the most
if you're alive?
-What are you saying?
-Me.
What?
Do you still not get it?
You are my cross.
A cross I must bear.
As the price of killing Minjo.
I killed Minjo.
It wasn't Father. It was me, you idiot.
Oh, I guess you really didn't know.
Oh, it's a shame
others can't see this face.
Let go of me. Let go!
(grunts)
Why?
Why did you kill Minjo? Why?
Go blame Father.
He's the one who made me do it!
(groaning)
(Hyunjo grunts)
As a father, I cannot forgive you,
but good job eliminating your enemy
to survive.
HYUNJO: That was
the first time he ever complimented me.
If Minjo had taken over Haesong,
would he have kept me alive?
No.
He would've killed me first.
So take it out on him.
Ask him why
he made me kill Minjo.
What can Ms. Kwon do?
What did she witness?
Even without Ms. Kwon's testimony,
it will eventually be revealed that
the Adamas was used for the murder.
(laughs)
But can it specify that I'm the culprit?
It can't prove that I was there.
I guess you got my point.
I'll give you two days.
Find the real Adamas.
What if I refuse?
You will be safe.
Because your brother will replace you.
Are you crazy? How could you
meet the chairman in this situation?
It was the only way to come here
without being suspected.
I came here to meet you.
Me?
You have the video of Ms. Kwon
from the ceremony?
Did the SIH send you?
Yes, Suhyeon asked me.
I think he's planning something
with the SIH.
MR. LEE
See? He won't pick up.
You were the target.
I figured that out
and stopped you with my car.
That's how you survived.
That can't be true.
Why would Haesong…
I saw candidate number five
at the ceremony.
You didn't even get invited, did you?
That's because I had
important business to attend to…
Oh, come on.
You're a politician,
but you're so clueless about politics.
Anyone can see you've been tossed out.
Haesong obviously held
two cards in their hands. One in each.
You ran away alone
when you heard about the bomb, didn't you?
If that goes public,
your ratings will hit rock bottom.
So what do you say?
Should we have a go at it?
Are you threatening me?
No, I'm asking for your cooperation.
(grunts)
Jeez, you're being faithful
even in this situation.
You sure are manly.
Are you trying to mess with me?
No, Haesong is.
You could've died.
-Hold on…
-What?
I'm alive.
If their plan was to kill me,
I should be dead.
-That's because I managed to save--
-No.
Even if I had survived it,
I should be dead by now.
Is it hard to understand?
All right, let's say you did save me.
In return for your kindness,
I will give you a tip.
I was not the target.
-Sir.
-You heard me.
We'll never see each other again, will we?
PROSECUTOR SONG SUHYEON
Damn it.
I was wrong about the bomb.
SUHYEON: We can't get Haesong with it.
(phone thuds)
SEARCH RESULTS FOR "BOMB"
WITH "ARES," "ALL," "PARTS": NO MATCH
Sir, we got the trace results on the bomb.
The components didn't match
any of those from ARES.
Well,
the components
and the manufacturing method match ours.
(sighs)
REPORTER:
The police have begun their investigation,
and they're expected
to resolve the question
about whether there is a mastermind
behind the culprit
as Candidate Hwang claims.
The Election Polling Committee
of the New Future Party
demanded a strict police investigation,
arguing that this was
a systematic attack
against the strong candidate.
But the police have decided to continue
with the unbiased investigation
since it's only a suspicion so far.
We've arrived.
Okay.
Should I escort you?
No, wait here.
CHIEF JEONG: Yes, sir.
You're late again.
There was a lot of traffic.
What would you like to have?
Go ahead and stuff yourself.
But the steak is good.
What did the chairman say?
Well…
(chuckles)
Are you trying to save your breath,
or are you keeping something from me?
Either way, it's a waste of time.
Be careful.
You seem to have lost his favor.
Oh.
(Team Leader Lee sighs loudly)
So it's not horrible, right?
I told you to be careful.
What?
(chokes)
(coughs)
I already warned you before,
but you're just too careless.
You damn brat…
(grunts)
(grunting continues)
(groans)
TEAM LEADER LEE: Oh, goodness.
(gasping)
Jeez, damn it.
PRESIDENT KWON HYUNJO
GWANGJANG-DONG. AT 11 TOMORROW
(grunts)
That little…
(growls)
(groaning)
Damn it…
You son of a…
You…
(car beeping)
(Team Leader Lee grunting)
(car door closes)
My Children's Day gift from Dad.
Silly him.
Where is he?
I don't know.
I just found this on the floor.
-YOUNG SUHYEON: Did he go somewhere?
-YOUNG WOOSIN: I bet he went to work.
How else do you think
he got that expensive toy?
We're not well off.
Hey.
You're late.
Why are you alone?
Didn't the SIH get you anyone?
It'd only be a nuisance.
What about you? Is it okay to be alone?
Chairman Kwon said he wouldn't kill me.
Did he say he'd kill me then?
So he did.
Fine, let him kill me.
How is Ms. Kim doing?
She'll be taken
to the police station soon.
She might be safer there for now.
How did it go?
Here.
Okay.
(sighs)
The SIH is going to cook it up nicely.
By the way…
(clears throat)
…let me ask you something.
You were after the retrial from the start,
weren't you?
Not catching the real culprit.
Why?
Because Lee Changwoo is innocent.
So why?
His innocence has nothing to do with you.
Finding out who actually killed Father
should come first.
What was so important
about stealing the Adamas for the retrial?
And now the Adamas is destroyed,
so the murder weapon no longer exists.
How will you do the retrial?
What is it?
What is it that I don't know?
What are you keeping from me?
Hey.
Suhyeon.
What is it?
About our real father…
Our real father?
He is…
Darn it.
MR. HAN:
Ms. Kwon, your statement isn't credible.
It's all just an assumption, not a fact.
I will avenge you, son.
I will make sure to take revenge for you.
(clanks)
You have a visitor.
POLICE CHIEF'S OFFICE
You're here to see me at this hour?
I wonder what you're trying to pull.
Speak.
-Kwon.
-Don't treat me like I'm your butler!
It gives me the creeps.
I'm not your servant anymore.
Are you going to end it like this?
After what you did at the ceremony,
are you just going to give up?
Kwon Jaekyu.
Think about what he did to your son.
Don't you dare speak of my son.
You know nothing!
He wasn't brain-dead.
Your son was alive.
He made it look like
he was brain-dead and took…
(scoffs)
Shut up.
He took a heart out of a man
who was still alive.
I said, shut up.
Shut up!
Help me.
You know everything about Chairman Kwon.
Tell me what I should do.
I will destroy
Chairman Kwon…
and Haesong.
My father hardly drinks,
but there was one time
when he got really drunk.
He was so delighted that
he had finally become one of your people.
At that time, he told me
that you offered him a gift
to mark the occasion.
And you needed a name
from him.
He shouldn't have told you that.
I have never called you Father.
But if I become one of your people,
I may be able to.
Really?
If that's what you say…
Do you mean this?
Yes.
Because he killed Minjo.
KWON HYUNJO
Will you accept it?
It's too late.
Hyunjo has already paid the price.
(clinks)
Did you have fun with Eun Hyesoo?
Pardon?
You've been her spy,
leaking company information
here and there.
Well, that's--
I must say, you're unexpectedly smart.
Right.
You're supposed to jump back and forth
and see whose bandwagon is better.
Right?
I saw Yoon Sun at Haesongwon.
Did she get an order
to finish off Mr. Lee?
Is she going to kill him?
Yes, he's already been taken care of.
KWON: I gave him a punishment.
To see you all his life
and remember Minjo.
What else could I have done?
He's the only heir of Haesong.
Tell me when you come to miss Minjo.
I'll send you to him myself.
Hyesoo.
That's not how you bargain with someone.
You want to be one of my people?
If you want something,
you need to offer what the other wants.
That's how you make a deal.
What do you want?
What can you offer?
I'll give you
what you want.
Following the all-night investigation,
a strict interrogation is ongoing.
REPORTER:
The identity of the female suspect
has yet to be released.
QUESTION: WHAT'S YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH CANDIDATE HWANG?
(table pounding)
I told you already.
I have no hard feelings
against Hwang Byungchul.
Your past articles say otherwise.
They are full of hatred.
And Candidate Hwang sued you
once every quarter.
That's because he's just too filthy.
Look.
I was kidnapped.
-You were kidnapped?
-Yes.
They plotted this incident
to link me to Hwang Byungchul.
Mm…
I see.
What was the purpose then?
Lee Changwoo the notorious thief.
I witnessed
the only murder he committed.
I kept digging into that case,
and they did this to me.
To silence me.
(snorts)
How great are these people
that they plotted a bombing attack?
It makes no sense.
Haesong Group. Chairman Kwon Jaekyu.
Does it make sense now?
Fine.
All right, but why did you go to the SIH?
Because those who kidnapped me
made me go there.
Kang Hyukpil.
Don't you know him?
I don't.
Don't you think this will take a while?
Let's eat first.
I'll have galbitang.
Jeez.
An extra-large, please.
HYUKPIL: You were right, Prosecutor Song.
They copied a core component of ours.
If this goes public,
it will get out of control.
We saw it coming.
What they want is an all-out war
with everything on the line.
I'm ready for it. What about you?
(phone clacks)
With everything on the line?
SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
(clapping)
You're finally at work.
I thought you defected to North Korea
instead of being on sick leave.
Come on, sir. Must you welcome me back
in such a lame way?
Just get out and do your job, punk.
Prosecutor Han was demoted
to the Chuncheon district office,
so the Kangchun case
has lost its direction.
You should take over.
I'm not interested
in what was once someone else's.
What am I, a beggar?
What did you say?
Help me with this.
-Hey!
-The sooner, the better.
Should I serve our guest
a cup of coffee or something?
What would you like, ma'am?
Do you not want anything to drink?
(chuckles)
I'll be outside.
(door closes)
Haesong must be watching you.
It's too late to play it safe.
I'm not afraid of dying.
What do you want?
Chairman Kwon kept you alive
for a reason, didn't he?
What is the reason?
It has nothing to do with you, Ms. Eun.
It'll have something to do with me now.
Does he want you to find the real Adamas?
So he does.
Do you know why
Chairman Kwon is trying
to find the Adamas?
He thinks the owner of Haesong
should have it.
It's such an old-fashioned idea.
As if it's a crown or a royal seal…
Isn't that ridiculous?
What is your point?
The Adamas.
Bring it to me.
Chairman Kwon said that
if you want to bargain with someone,
you need to offer what they want.
So do you plan to give him the Adamas?
No.
Are you curious?
What do you say?
Are you interested?
I'll give you what you want.
-What I want?
-Lee Changwoo.
Don't you want to save him?
Bring it to me.
(Changwoo sighs)
What brings you here this time?
I told you never to come again.
How have you been?
Well, forget about catching up.
I'll just get to the point.
I know
who you are.
What do you
know about me?
You know Team A, don't you?
A secret organization
that deals with dirty work for Haesong.
You were once a member of its predecessor,
the Management Support Team.
An ace at that.
The organization discarded you
by having you get arrested
for nine charges of theft,
and you were stuck in jail for 15 years.
It's not that I want to hear an epic tale
about the great notorious thief.
(sighs)
What I want to know is…
WOOSIN: Suhyeon.
About our real father…
Our real father?
Yes, we never talked about it,
but you knew our biological father
was someone else, didn't you?
Yes, I eventually figured it out
as I grew up.
I happened to overhear
our parents' conversation too.
Why are you suddenly bringing that up?
Mom left a message before she died.
-What do you mean?
-Lee Changwoo was falsely charged.
He is…
That man is…
Darn it.
…our biological father.
Prosecutor Song.
What is it that you want to know?
What was that?
Less than a month
after you finished serving 15 years
in prison,
you murdered my father.
(Changwoo sighs)
I really don't see
why we're back on this topic.
It's all over.
Because you're not the real culprit.
-Prosecutor.
-Because I must catch the real culprit.
-Prosecutor Song.
-Because I'll defend you from now on.
He's crazy.
CHIEF PROSECUTOR YANG WOOKJIN
Darn him!
LETTER OF RESIGNATION
Mr. Lee.
I am your defense attorney.
(closing theme music)
SUHYEON: I'm going to make sure
that everyone knows you're innocent.
How about working directly under me now?
DETECTIVE:
The mastermind behind the terror bombing.
Was it Prosecutor Song
or Mr. Kang?
HYUNJO: I heard the SIH was making
an important announcement, so I came.
Do you have time for this?
MS. OH: What will happen to Ms. Kwon?
HYESOO: Please…
die.

Your father knows where it is.
Got that?
I'm talking about Lee Changwoo.
I think we're done talking.
Jeez.

You bastard.

He's in there.
Damn it.

Mr. Ha, are you okay?

MR. CHOI: What?

-It's really good. Try a bite.
-Really?
-Hwang Byungchul!
-Go on.
-Nice, good.
-Hwang Byungchul!
CANDIDATE HWANG FOCUSES
HIS LAST CAMPAIGN IN SEOUL
Sangam Market
where Hwang Byungchul is campaigning.
The bomb must be there.
Mr. Kang, hurry up and let his camp know.
SUHYEON:
Hwang Byungchul wasn't at the ceremony.
He should've pushed everything aside
to be there,
but he wasn't invited.
It must've been intentional.
They wanted him
to be somewhere else at the time.
Gather our people immediately.
We must go to Sangam Market.
EOD
(crowd chanting)
Hwang Byungchul! Hwang Byungchul!
-Hwang Byungchul!
-Hwang Byungchul!
-Hwang Byungchul!
-Sorry? Who is this?
(chanting continues)
Hwang Byungchul! Hwang Byungchul!
It must've been tough.
We just need to cut this thing off now.
Okay.
Do you want some water?
Thank you.
Let me tape up your hand again.
It's gotten loose.
SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS HEADQUARTERS
KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY
POLICE: Hold this tightly.
Where did the tape go?
(revving)
Mr. Hwang.
What's wrong? I'm in the middle
of communicating with my supporters.
(laughs)
What?
Let's go.
Excuse me.
Can you hurry up with the taping?
I'm suddenly feeling very dizzy.
Excuse me?
Should we evacuate the people?
No way. If we let them know,
things could get too crazy
for us to get out of here.
-MAN 1: Candidate Hwang!
-WOMAN: Where is he going?
-MAN 2: Candidate Hwang!
-MAN 3: Should we follow him?
-Let's follow him.
-MAN 4: Candidate Hwang.
(groans)
Please do something…
Damn bastard.
(breathing heavily)
What?
Hey, go start the engine already.
-BODYGUARD: Yes, sir. Hurry up!
-BYUNGCHUL: Now!
Hwang Byungchul is the target.
Let's go!
What's your deal? Move!
What… Move out of the way!
-Wait, wait.
-What?
I'm Prosecutor Song Suhyeon.
Mr. Hwang.
-What… What are you doing?
-You're in danger, sir.
What's wrong with you?
You're their target.
What?
KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE AGENCY
(men grunt)
(crowd clamoring)
(clamoring continues)
(panting)
Are you okay?
REPORTER 1:
A bomb exploded at the location
where Candidate Hwang Byungchul
was campaigning for the election,
and the anxiety is spreading nationwide.
REPORTER 2:
Realizing the gravity of this attack
targeting unspecified individuals,
the police declared they'd form
a special investigation team
and get to the bottom of this incident.
REPORTER 3:
They are also checking if it's related
to the suicide bomb threat
which took place
in the Special Investigations Headquarters
at the same time.
A BREACH IN THE SIH,
SUICIDE BOMBING ATTEMPT
HYESOO: There's not even a single article
about the ceremony.
Chairman Kwon Jaekyu!
MS. KWON: You murderer.
HYESOO: He managed to silence
all those people.
MS. OH: Hurry inside and don't come out
until I give you further instructions.
Hurry up. Now!
Hurry up. Run!
Go and lock the doors. Don't come out.
-What's going on?
-Oh, my goodness.
MS. OH: Well…
That girl is here.
It's been a while.
Right.
Long time no see.
What brings you here all of a sudden?
What brings me here? I'm not sure.
Still so pretty, sis.
If you're talking about Ms. Yoon,
she's inside.
But I doubt you're here
to see your older sister.
You've become so mean.
Is it because of Minjo's death?
Those mean words
make you look even prettier.
The old man summoned me.
I guess he wants someone dead again.
RECEPTION DESK
My goodness.
Those bastards.
Are you awake?
Yes.
Are you feeling okay?
(gasps)
What is this?
The suicide bombing has become a fact.
But I'm glad you're safe.
That's good enough.
I'm sorry for your trouble.
And thank you for being alive.
That's all?
-What?
-Is that all?
Say a little more.
I barely managed to survive.
(chuckles)
You're lying in bed handcuffed.
How can you be smiling?
I even put on an explosive vest.
I've got to stay strong.
Ms. Kim.
Listen carefully.
Narcotics were found in your blood.
What?
(grunts)
Oh.
Then the police might think
that I committed it under the influence.
No, no one thinks you committed it alone.
They think someone pulled the strings.
Naturally, they will dig
into who's behind it.
(Seohee sighs)
What?
To reveal that I was kidnapped,
I must single out Team A.
But then the SIH will inevitably
be brought up to the surface.
Will they be safe?
Don't worry.
They already got dragged out
even if not for you.
It's already begun.
KOREAN SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS HEADQUARTERS
At 7:23 p.m. yesterday,
the suspect showed up in a suicide vest
at the lobby of this building.
We immediately called in
the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team
and the bomb was deactivated
safely at 10:46 p.m.
The bomb will be
analyzed thoroughly in a safe location.
Afterward, we will organize a task force
to focus on investigating the case.
Sir, there has been a report
that this culprit has something
to do with the terrorist attack
at Candidate Hwang's campaign rally.
REPORTER: Is it true?
What's your stance about Hwang's argument?
Do you think it's credible?
That matter
is currently under investigation.
It certainly was a conspiracy
to assassinate me!
Just three days
before the presidential election,
this kind of terrorist attack took place.
It means they thought
I was likely to be elected
and pulled this despicable scheme
to stop me from becoming president.
STRONGLY CLAIMS ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT
I know there's a mastermind behind this.
BYUNGCHUL: Are you sure?
Was the call really
from Kang Hyukpil of the SIH?
Yes, I'm sure.
Good.
It's going to make a nice picture
with just a little touch.
You know who Mr. Kang is.
He works for the president.
This is going to be the perfect chance
to wipe them all out.
(laughs)
Please understand that we can't share
any more details about the investigation.
That's all for today.
-REPORTER 1: Mr. Kang, wait.
-REPORTER 2: Mr. Kang.
-Mr. Kang.
-REPORTER 3: Just a moment.
It won't end only with you.
Everyone in this field
knows who is behind you.
They will use me to go after the VIP?
It's an undeniable fact that the VIP
is connected to the SIH.
HYUKPIL:
Consequentially, the SIH is intact
while Hwang's side was bombed.
They could take the fall for this.
Mr. Kang, that bomb.
You know where it came from
if it was Team A's doing.
Compare it with every bomb
produced by ARES.
See if any component matches.
That's why they needed me.
The target was
Hwang Byungchul,
whom I went after obsessively.
They'll tie in the SIH too.
(sighs)
Darn it, that sure was a fatal blow.
We'll fight right back.
Tell the police the truth.
-The truth?
-About my father's case.
That you witnessed the case,
and the Adamas
is the missing murder weapon.
You tried to look into it,
and some unidentified people…
Are you following?
You want to drag Chairman Kwon into it?
A TERRORIST ATTACK TAKES PLACE
AT CANDIDATE HWANG'S CAMPAIGN RALLY
Mr. Lee ordered it.
You weren't aware of it?
Hyunjo gave his permission, I heard.
May I leave?
(door opens, closes)
I apologize.
I thought this would make way
for the legalization of firearms--
Shut it!
Father.
You fool.
-Sun?
-JEONG: Yes.
The chairman summoned her himself.
Really?
Will it be okay? He might get furious
about this incident.
It will be okay.
-Pardon?
-The chairman would know
why his stupid son needs me.
He caused a huge mess out of things,
and the world's going crazy about it.
Somebody has to clean that up
for his sake, you know.
KWON: Everyone else knows
that Mr. Lee made a fool out of you.
Your dog attacked you,
but you don't even know
that you were attacked.
How can you become the owner of Haesong
when you can't even
control your underlings?
How dare you!
Father, it was all for your sake.
Those rats from the SIH
dared to dig into your past.
-I wanted to wipe them all out--
-So,
are they gone?
-It's not over yet.
-Enough!
What happened in the past
isn't yours to meddle with.
The Adamas
is already broken.
The murder weapon doesn't exist anymore.
The Adamas is broken?
What do you mean by that?
HYUNJO:
I don't understand. Why would it break?
How could a diamond…
(Kwon sighs)
The Adamas is a fake?
Then where is the real one?
Father.
Only Lee Changwoo would know.
(sighs)
That bastard switched it?
At that time 22 years ago?
(Hyunjo scoffs)
(laughs)
So?
What do you mean, so?
That bastard is still alive.
He dared mess with the Adamas,
and you're keeping him alive?
-Then should I kill him?
-Of course!
He deserves to die countless times.
Then how will we find the real one?
We must find the real Adamas
and bring it here.
It wasn't a coincidence
Mr. Ha came to this house.
(gun cocks)
(clicks)
I'd like to write a memoir.
Ms. Yoon, check if there's
anyone eligible to ghostwrite it.
The name is Ha Woosin.
Hey, sis.
Hi.
Have you been well?
It's been a while,
but you don't seem glad to see me.
I thought about you often.
(whimpers)
Every time I kill someone,
I imagine it's you.
Sis.
You must be happy.
At your happiest moment,
we'll meet again.
(Sun laughs)
KWON: The Adamas is already broken.
The murder weapon doesn't exist anymore.
It was a fake.
KWON: We must find the real Adamas
and bring it here.
(scoffs)
He spared Ha Woosin's life
to find the Adamas.
DONGRIM: Mr. Ha.
Mr. Ha.
Mr. Ha?
Mr. Ha.
Where did he go?
DONGRIM
(ringing)
Mr. Ha, where are you?
Nothing happened to you, right?
Jeez, talk quietly.
Thank goodness.
I was startled because you weren't home.
DONGRIM: I thought Chairman Kwon
had killed you already.
What are you doing at my place?
I was scared to be home alone.
What if they come to retaliate?
(scoffs)
Didn't you think
it'd be more dangerous there?
DONGRIM:
Still, there's strength in numbers.
If something happens,
I'll call the police while you face them.
Or should I be with my parents
at the hospital?
Suit yourself.
DONGRIM: Where are you, by the way?
It's dangerous to be alone. Come home.
Sleep on the couch, not the bed.
Where are you?
Should I go to where you are?
I said, not the bed.
He's just so fearless.
Goodness, I'm tired.
(sighs)
(Agent Park panting)
How did it go?
The signal is blocked.
It's the same for mine.
They blocked it intentionally.
It's a means to protect
the infiltration agents.
After what happened at the ceremony,
this place is almost unapproachable now.
What are you going to do?
The headquarters will do their work,
and we'll do ours.
We've got an unexpected problem here too.
Ask me any questions.
I'll tell you everything.
Lee Changwoo murdered
Song Soonho 22 years ago,
but it was actually Chairman Kwon.
Is that what you're saying?
That's right.
Can you prove it?
An arrest warrant might be issued
with Ms. Kwon's testimony.
The arrowhead is broken,
but there may be a bloodstain
left inside the arrow shaft.
If it turns out to be Song Soonho's blood,
the game will be over.
Even if there isn't any blood,
we can compare the evidence
with the scar on his skeleton.
-Okay.
-I've still got a chance.
MR. LEE: Mr. Choi.
What is it, Mr. Lee?
MR. LEE: Mr. Ha is here.
He wants to meet the chairman.
(knocks on door)
I need to talk to the chairman in private.
Will you give us some space?
(sighs)
How dare you--
Hyunjo, he's my guest.
I met the man you sent.
And I received your message.
How similar. Those eyes…
HYESOO: What are you doing? This is rude.
That writer is here.
Aren't you glad?
You two seemed quite close.
I know you aren't jealous,
so what's the meaning of this?
(sighs)
You're a smart woman.
Did you really not know?
Why that writer came to this house.
Maybe he approached you.
A lonely woman
is such easy prey.
You have a point.
But sadly, he's not interested in me.
Although I am.
Don't blame me.
It was Ms. Yoon who recommended him.
Shouldn't you be busy right now?
Ms. Kwon seemed to know something.
I wonder what she will say to the police.
Your father was just like you.
Being a hound didn't suit him.
Just what happened?
I was betrayed.
Me.
KWON:
You're becoming more popular by the day.
The media are calling you
a Robin Hood figure.
(laughs)
The notorious thief
is now a national star.
Thanks to it, anything you steal
gets branded to be dirty
and corrupt right away.
The management support department
will be expanded to a specialized team.
Of course, you'll be in charge.
Sir.
I'd like to stop here.
CHANGWOO:
I think this is where my part ends.
Is it because of that woman?
Is she pregnant or something?
(sighs)
I didn't know it was twins.
He wanted to leave, didn't he?
I'm certain that I've been
more loyal to you than anyone else.
I did everything you asked.
And I carried it out.
Now,
I'd like to be forgotten.
Would you be forgotten
just because I forget you?
The whole organization remembers you.
Everyone we've discarded
was sent to their grave, right?
-Sir.
-No exceptions are allowed.
-Sir.
-Go back.
(sighs)
(sighs)
Please promise me
just one thing.
That you will
end it with me.
You should've shot me.
Then I would've
wanted to kill you.
The police will receive an anonymous tip.
You will be arrested red-handed next time.
KWON: Fifteen years should be enough.
By then, I might be able
to forget you.
Did you want to spare his life?
(sighs)
Even you figured that out.
I wonder why your father couldn't.
Rotting in prison for 15 years,
he probably got an urge to take revenge.
KWON: How could he steal the Adamas?
I tried to keep my promise
at that time as well.
By killing him only.
Instead,
Song Soonho ended up dying.
Your father gained a lot from this anyway.
For 22 years,
he deceived me completely.
Now you should
pay off that debt.
So you planned it all from the start.
You lured me into this house,
knowing that I'd try to steal the Adamas.
All to find the real Adamas.
-(chuckles)
-But just one thing.
Ms. Kwon's actions were unexpected.
It was 22 years ago.
At around 3 a.m. on May 5…
Jeez, that's a horrible nightmare.
It wasn't a dream. Hyunjo and I saw it.
Our father
killed someone with the Adamas.
What are you talking about?
Lee Changwoo. His name was Lee Changwoo.
Lee Changwoo.
You heard this?
(table clacks)
I clearly did.
At that time, I didn't understand.
ROBIN HOOD LEE CHANGWOO
KILLS A MAN IN HIS 40S
MS. KWON: But the next day,
I saw the newspaper and realized
that the Adamas
was the missing murder weapon.
That Chairman Kwon ordered
Lee Changwoo to kill that man.
Lee Changwoo
was his devoted right-hand man.
Don't tell me
you actually think Father killed him.
I think it's plausible enough.
What about you?
You're crossing the line here, fearlessly.
I've got nothing to fear.
A coward is
rather a word to describe you.
You've always been scared of your father.
I see.
That's why you're asking me
these leading questions.
You're even recording this conversation.
NEW RECORDING
Right?
(sighs)
Please, Hyesoo.
Please don't do this.
If you keep acting up,
Father will kill you for real.
(chuckles)
(scoffs)
(laughing)
Is this funny to you?
The chairman can't kill me.
Because I'm the only one
who reminds him of Minjo.
He had to kill
his most beloved son himself.
And I'm the woman that son loved.
I'm better than you,
the stupid and pathetic replacement.
No?
Right.
Minjo is the reason
you're still alive.
Hyesoo, who do you think
would suffer the most
if you're alive?
-What are you saying?
-Me.
What?
Do you still not get it?
You are my cross.
A cross I must bear.
As the price of killing Minjo.
I killed Minjo.
It wasn't Father. It was me, you idiot.
Oh, I guess you really didn't know.
Oh, it's a shame
others can't see this face.
Let go of me. Let go!
(grunts)
Why?
Why did you kill Minjo? Why?
Go blame Father.
He's the one who made me do it!
(groaning)
(Hyunjo grunts)
As a father, I cannot forgive you,
but good job eliminating your enemy
to survive.
HYUNJO: That was
the first time he ever complimented me.
If Minjo had taken over Haesong,
would he have kept me alive?
No.
He would've killed me first.
So take it out on him.
Ask him why
he made me kill Minjo.
What can Ms. Kwon do?
What did she witness?
Even without Ms. Kwon's testimony,
it will eventually be revealed that
the Adamas was used for the murder.
(laughs)
But can it specify that I'm the culprit?
It can't prove that I was there.
I guess you got my point.
I'll give you two days.
Find the real Adamas.
What if I refuse?
You will be safe.
Because your brother will replace you.
Are you crazy? How could you
meet the chairman in this situation?
It was the only way to come here
without being suspected.
I came here to meet you.
Me?
You have the video of Ms. Kwon
from the ceremony?
Did the SIH send you?
Yes, Suhyeon asked me.
I think he's planning something
with the SIH.
MR. LEE
See? He won't pick up.
You were the target.
I figured that out
and stopped you with my car.
That's how you survived.
That can't be true.
Why would Haesong…
I saw candidate number five
at the ceremony.
You didn't even get invited, did you?
That's because I had
important business to attend to…
Oh, come on.
You're a politician,
but you're so clueless about politics.
Anyone can see you've been tossed out.
Haesong obviously held
two cards in their hands. One in each.
You ran away alone
when you heard about the bomb, didn't you?
If that goes public,
your ratings will hit rock bottom.
So what do you say?
Should we have a go at it?
Are you threatening me?
No, I'm asking for your cooperation.
(grunts)
Jeez, you're being faithful
even in this situation.
You sure are manly.
Are you trying to mess with me?
No, Haesong is.
You could've died.
-Hold on…
-What?
I'm alive.
If their plan was to kill me,
I should be dead.
-That's because I managed to save--
-No.
Even if I had survived it,
I should be dead by now.
Is it hard to understand?
All right, let's say you did save me.
In return for your kindness,
I will give you a tip.
I was not the target.
-Sir.
-You heard me.
We'll never see each other again, will we?
PROSECUTOR SONG SUHYEON
Damn it.
I was wrong about the bomb.
SUHYEON: We can't get Haesong with it.
(phone thuds)
SEARCH RESULTS FOR "BOMB"
WITH "ARES," "ALL," "PARTS": NO MATCH
Sir, we got the trace results on the bomb.
The components didn't match
any of those from ARES.
Well,
the components
and the manufacturing method match ours.
(sighs)
REPORTER:
The police have begun their investigation,
and they're expected
to resolve the question
about whether there is a mastermind
behind the culprit
as Candidate Hwang claims.
The Election Polling Committee
of the New Future Party
demanded a strict police investigation,
arguing that this was
a systematic attack
against the strong candidate.
But the police have decided to continue
with the unbiased investigation
since it's only a suspicion so far.
We've arrived.
Okay.
Should I escort you?
No, wait here.
CHIEF JEONG: Yes, sir.
You're late again.
There was a lot of traffic.
What would you like to have?
Go ahead and stuff yourself.
But the steak is good.
What did the chairman say?
Well…
(chuckles)
Are you trying to save your breath,
or are you keeping something from me?
Either way, it's a waste of time.
Be careful.
You seem to have lost his favor.
Oh.
(Team Leader Lee sighs loudly)
So it's not horrible, right?
I told you to be careful.
What?
(chokes)
(coughs)
I already warned you before,
but you're just too careless.
You damn brat…
(grunts)
(grunting continues)
(groans)
TEAM LEADER LEE: Oh, goodness.
(gasping)
Jeez, damn it.
PRESIDENT KWON HYUNJO
GWANGJANG-DONG. AT 11 TOMORROW
(grunts)
That little…
(growls)
(groaning)
Damn it…
You son of a…
You…
(car beeping)
(Team Leader Lee grunting)
(car door closes)
My Children's Day gift from Dad.
Silly him.
Where is he?
I don't know.
I just found this on the floor.
-YOUNG SUHYEON: Did he go somewhere?
-YOUNG WOOSIN: I bet he went to work.
How else do you think
he got that expensive toy?
We're not well off.
Hey.
You're late.
Why are you alone?
Didn't the SIH get you anyone?
It'd only be a nuisance.
What about you? Is it okay to be alone?
Chairman Kwon said he wouldn't kill me.
Did he say he'd kill me then?
So he did.
Fine, let him kill me.
How is Ms. Kim doing?
She'll be taken
to the police station soon.
She might be safer there for now.
How did it go?
Here.
Okay.
(sighs)
The SIH is going to cook it up nicely.
By the way…
(clears throat)
…let me ask you something.
You were after the retrial from the start,
weren't you?
Not catching the real culprit.
Why?
Because Lee Changwoo is innocent.
So why?
His innocence has nothing to do with you.
Finding out who actually killed Father
should come first.
What was so important
about stealing the Adamas for the retrial?
And now the Adamas is destroyed,
so the murder weapon no longer exists.
How will you do the retrial?
What is it?
What is it that I don't know?
What are you keeping from me?
Hey.
Suhyeon.
What is it?
About our real father…
Our real father?
He is…
Darn it.
MR. HAN:
Ms. Kwon, your statement isn't credible.
It's all just an assumption, not a fact.
I will avenge you, son.
I will make sure to take revenge for you.
(clanks)
You have a visitor.
POLICE CHIEF'S OFFICE
You're here to see me at this hour?
I wonder what you're trying to pull.
Speak.
-Kwon.
-Don't treat me like I'm your butler!
It gives me the creeps.
I'm not your servant anymore.
Are you going to end it like this?
After what you did at the ceremony,
are you just going to give up?
Kwon Jaekyu.
Think about what he did to your son.
Don't you dare speak of my son.
You know nothing!
He wasn't brain-dead.
Your son was alive.
He made it look like
he was brain-dead and took…
(scoffs)
Shut up.
He took a heart out of a man
who was still alive.
I said, shut up.
Shut up!
Help me.
You know everything about Chairman Kwon.
Tell me what I should do.
I will destroy
Chairman Kwon…
and Haesong.
My father hardly drinks,
but there was one time
when he got really drunk.
He was so delighted that
he had finally become one of your people.
At that time, he told me
that you offered him a gift
to mark the occasion.
And you needed a name
from him.
He shouldn't have told you that.
I have never called you Father.
But if I become one of your people,
I may be able to.
Really?
If that's what you say…
Do you mean this?
Yes.
Because he killed Minjo.
KWON HYUNJO
Will you accept it?
It's too late.
Hyunjo has already paid the price.
(clinks)
Did you have fun with Eun Hyesoo?
Pardon?
You've been her spy,
leaking company information
here and there.
Well, that's--
I must say, you're unexpectedly smart.
Right.
You're supposed to jump back and forth
and see whose bandwagon is better.
Right?
I saw Yoon Sun at Haesongwon.
Did she get an order
to finish off Mr. Lee?
Is she going to kill him?
Yes, he's already been taken care of.
KWON: I gave him a punishment.
To see you all his life
and remember Minjo.
What else could I have done?
He's the only heir of Haesong.
Tell me when you come to miss Minjo.
I'll send you to him myself.
Hyesoo.
That's not how you bargain with someone.
You want to be one of my people?
If you want something,
you need to offer what the other wants.
That's how you make a deal.
What do you want?
What can you offer?
I'll give you
what you want.
Following the all-night investigation,
a strict interrogation is ongoing.
REPORTER:
The identity of the female suspect
has yet to be released.
QUESTION: WHAT'S YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH CANDIDATE HWANG?
(table pounding)
I told you already.
I have no hard feelings
against Hwang Byungchul.
Your past articles say otherwise.
They are full of hatred.
And Candidate Hwang sued you
once every quarter.
That's because he's just too filthy.
Look.
I was kidnapped.
-You were kidnapped?
-Yes.
They plotted this incident
to link me to Hwang Byungchul.
Mm…
I see.
What was the purpose then?
Lee Changwoo the notorious thief.
I witnessed
the only murder he committed.
I kept digging into that case,
and they did this to me.
To silence me.
(snorts)
How great are these people
that they plotted a bombing attack?
It makes no sense.
Haesong Group. Chairman Kwon Jaekyu.
Does it make sense now?
Fine.
All right, but why did you go to the SIH?
Because those who kidnapped me
made me go there.
Kang Hyukpil.
Don't you know him?
I don't.
Don't you think this will take a while?
Let's eat first.
I'll have galbitang.
Jeez.
An extra-large, please.
HYUKPIL: You were right, Prosecutor Song.
They copied a core component of ours.
If this goes public,
it will get out of control.
We saw it coming.
What they want is an all-out war
with everything on the line.
I'm ready for it. What about you?
(phone clacks)
With everything on the line?
SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
(clapping)
You're finally at work.
I thought you defected to North Korea
instead of being on sick leave.
Come on, sir. Must you welcome me back
in such a lame way?
Just get out and do your job, punk.
Prosecutor Han was demoted
to the Chuncheon district office,
so the Kangchun case
has lost its direction.
You should take over.
I'm not interested
in what was once someone else's.
What am I, a beggar?
What did you say?
Help me with this.
-Hey!
-The sooner, the better.
Should I serve our guest
a cup of coffee or something?
What would you like, ma'am?
Do you not want anything to drink?
(chuckles)
I'll be outside.
(door closes)
Haesong must be watching you.
It's too late to play it safe.
I'm not afraid of dying.
What do you want?
Chairman Kwon kept you alive
for a reason, didn't he?
What is the reason?
It has nothing to do with you, Ms. Eun.
It'll have something to do with me now.
Does he want you to find the real Adamas?
So he does.
Do you know why
Chairman Kwon is trying
to find the Adamas?
He thinks the owner of Haesong
should have it.
It's such an old-fashioned idea.
As if it's a crown or a royal seal…
Isn't that ridiculous?
What is your point?
The Adamas.
Bring it to me.
Chairman Kwon said that
if you want to bargain with someone,
you need to offer what they want.
So do you plan to give him the Adamas?
No.
Are you curious?
What do you say?
Are you interested?
I'll give you what you want.
-What I want?
-Lee Changwoo.
Don't you want to save him?
Bring it to me.
(Changwoo sighs)
What brings you here this time?
I told you never to come again.
How have you been?
Well, forget about catching up.
I'll just get to the point.
I know
who you are.
What do you
know about me?
You know Team A, don't you?
A secret organization
that deals with dirty work for Haesong.
You were once a member of its predecessor,
the Management Support Team.
An ace at that.
The organization discarded you
by having you get arrested
for nine charges of theft,
and you were stuck in jail for 15 years.
It's not that I want to hear an epic tale
about the great notorious thief.
(sighs)
What I want to know is…
WOOSIN: Suhyeon.
About our real father…
Our real father?
Yes, we never talked about it,
but you knew our biological father
was someone else, didn't you?
Yes, I eventually figured it out
as I grew up.
I happened to overhear
our parents' conversation too.
Why are you suddenly bringing that up?
Mom left a message before she died.
-What do you mean?
-Lee Changwoo was falsely charged.
He is…
That man is…
Darn it.
…our biological father.
Prosecutor Song.
What is it that you want to know?
What was that?
Less than a month
after you finished serving 15 years
in prison,
you murdered my father.
(Changwoo sighs)
I really don't see
why we're back on this topic.
It's all over.
Because you're not the real culprit.
-Prosecutor.
-Because I must catch the real culprit.
-Prosecutor Song.
-Because I'll defend you from now on.
He's crazy.
CHIEF PROSECUTOR YANG WOOKJIN
Darn him!
LETTER OF RESIGNATION
Mr. Lee.
I am your defense attorney.
(closing theme music)
SUHYEON: I'm going to make sure
that everyone knows you're innocent.
How about working directly under me now?
DETECTIVE:
The mastermind behind the terror bombing.
Was it Prosecutor Song
or Mr. Kang?
HYUNJO: I heard the SIH was making
an important announcement, so I came.
Do you have time for this?
MS. OH: What will happen to Ms. Kwon?
HYESOO: Please…
die.
