[Episode 6]
You've lost it!
You should've just followed, not beat him up to a pulp.
Do you want to get fired?
If it's just you, fine. We'll all go down!
You know that I'm included in "we," right?
The warrant was rejected.
The killer was making a scene in front of me. Should I have let it go?
Why didn't you just break his legs and arms?
Actually, you should've just killed him!
Go Young Joo, just listen to me-
Shut up!
I don't want to talk to you.
Hey, Young Joo.
Geez.
Investigator,
let's work together.
Excuse me?
My deepest apologies, Assemblyman.
Which department are you? Huh!
These shitty cops have no manners whatsoever!
You're fired! Immediately!
Please calm down.
Both the police and prosecution are the same.
Whoever did that to my Min Gyu, fire them and bring them here now!
Assemblyman.
We're at the hospital. Please lower your voice.
How is he doing?
The nasal septal is dislocated in the nasal bone fractures,
but there's no problem if we do the surgery once the swelling goes down.
Prosecutor Cha, I'm holding back for your mother's sake.
Detective Oh...
You're making it really difficult to work with you.
Assemblyman Bae told the Police Commissioner and even the Attorney General that he'd sue you.
- So?
- We've processed disciplinary action on paper.
I almost got hit by Assemblyman Bae.
What about the bastard?
He needs surgery.
Gosh, I'm so relieved that he didn't die.
Okay.
Here. This is Bae Min Gyu's burner phone.
I haven't hit you yet, asshole.
Three!
Did you hit him on purpose to take this?
I thought you were a nose-breaking expert, but you're a pickpocketer.
He deserved to be punished with my punches.
And since the warrant's been dismissed, I needed to get it, even if that meant stealing.
If he escapes again, we wouldn't have another chance.
Did you think I went without a plan B?
Hold on.
How did you unlock this phone?
Here's what you asked for.
Thank you.
Investigator,
let's work together.
Excuse me?
Run the fingerprints, please.
[Korea Crime Scene Investigation]
We took Bae Min Gyu's fingerprints and copied them with a 3D printer.
Wow! Nice!
Wow...
Gosh.
There's only one number saved on this phone.
But that phone is also a burner phone.
Only the Telegram app and all the messages have been deleted.
Two burner phones have been communicating discreetly.
Let's start by locating the burner phone.
They probably noticed and had already turned the phone off.
They probably destroyed it by now.
But you know...
Bae Min Gyu...
forgot to delete the messages he exchanged earlier at the restaurant.
What's it about?
"A request for a warrant's been submitted
Bae Min Gyu's reply was, "Mind your business!"
"Forget the government authorities."
Wouldn't it be something like that?
Wait. The warrant request was kept top-secret that only our team knew about... how did it...
Where do you think the secret got out?
By the way, where's the Alien?
Gosh, let me call her.
I feel like the Alien might have-
Let's not doubt anyone without any grounds.
We can check tomorrow morning.
And this...
run the forensics, and if additional evidence comes out,
let's request a warrant for Bae Min Gyu again.
He'd be stuck at the hospital recovering from surgery for a while.
But what if Bae Min Gyu comes after us for illegally acquiring evidence?
That's...
We happened to pick up the burner phone from the restaurant.
By mere coincidence.
Wow, you know best.
We should also apply for a departure ban.
Since he's such a law exploiter.
Definitely.
Detective Yook, whoever the owner of the other burner phone may be,
there's a chance they'll be in contact with Bae Min Gyu.
I'll discreetly put an undercover group in the hospital.
Okay.
I knew that Assemblyman Bae was powerful,
but he could even move the judiciary?
How could the warrant get rejected?
I really can't wrap my head around this rejection.
Anyway, don't lose motivation, and keep working hard.
That's it for today. Let's come back to it tomorrow morning.
- Yes.
- All right.
Thank you for everything.
I think it's time for me to leave Woojin.
Dr. Chu! What's gotten into you?
What kind of silly nonsense are you talking about?
Are you mad at us or something?
Or did you eat something funny?
No, no, it's not that. It's all my fault.
Dr. Chu, I know that you've had a tough time because of us.
So, Jang Mi and I have come to an agreement.
Excuse me?
We decided we won't ever fight over you, ever again.
So, please stop saying that you're going to leave Woojin.
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday will be with Pi Jang Mi.
Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday will be with me, Hong Yeong Hee.
We agreed on those days to go on dates with you.
Unni, you know the salon closes on Tuesdays.
I should take Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Oh, that's right.
Pi Jang Mi will take Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
And I'll take Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
I heard that young people nowadays rent a house together and share it with several people.
Let's stop fighting and make sure all three of us get along.
Is that all right?
Polyamory.
You've made a very difficult decision.
Poly?
What is that?
It means that multiple people are in love.
It means that all three of us, love together.
Oh, my! I guess that actually exists!
Wow, we really know to foresee the future.
T-Then, we should also so "poly"!
"Please, bring me a glass of wine."
"Since there is no real meaning in life."
That's right.
These were the last words of the poet Fernando Pessoa left before he died.
Even a poet claimed that life was no big deal.
What would life be for a pathetic coward like me?
Nevertheless, the welcome I receive from you ladies.
It is a great privilege.
Yes.
Even if I were to die now, I'd have no regrets.
Enough to die now?
So you are saying that you love us, right?
Yes.
Wow!
- Poly.
- Amory.
The forensics run on this shows nothing much has been found since
all the chat rooms have been destroyed.
Let's try to find additional evidence-
What is it? Did something happen?
- Prosecutor Yang!
- Detective Oh.
Yang Hee Joo.
Yeah?
- Did you happen to-
- What's going on?
Are you all psychics?
How'd you know I caught the big fish?
All the murder victims had one thing in common. They were all treated at Jinjin Medical Center.
The first victim was treated at the beauty center,
the second victim had appendicitis surgery.
And the third high schooler received surgery for a femoral fracture from a car accident.
[Jinjin Medical Center]
[Name: Lee Hae Ju / Age: 16]
Where did you get these records?
What do mean?
I asked Director Yoo for the investigation.
Alien, let's be honest here.
What's this?
Are you doubting my abilities?
I guess you people with zero creativity wouldn't understand,
but this is a basic stance for me.
You need to think outside the box when you're investigating.
When you guys were busy just digging for the culprit, I focused on the victim,
and this amazing thing happened!
We're stunned since it's so outside the box.
Why are you guys being like this?
The person who was communicating with Bae Min Gyu using a burner phone
told Bae Min Gyu that a warrant was going to be issued.
Could it be Ki Young sunbae?
Geez, it is the trashy reporter Park Ki Young.
Wait a minute. S-So you're saying,
Ki Young is the owner of the burner phone who texted Bae Min Gyu?
Hey, this doesn't make any sense.
Yang Hee Joo, speak up. What is it?
I think it does makes sense.
Park Ki Young, that bastard. He loves to mess with Prosecutor Cha.
I think it's true that Hee Joo gave him the information.
Given the circumstances, I think it's Park Ki Young.
What a bombshell.
Exactly.
But if Park Ki Young is an accomplice, why did he give
information on Jinjin Medical Center?
Whether he is an accomplice or they were simply exchanging information,
let's summon him and check.
Sunbae, I know you're shocked about your friend.
First, let's call him in and investigate.
Let's take a short break.
Cha Young Woon! Go Young Joo! Inspector General is calling for you two.
Without a warrant, the police and prosecution joint investigation
have allegedly assaulted civilians and violated human rights.
The investigation team is revealed to be the team
that even received a reward for arresting a serial killer last year-
Today, the National Assembly decided to discuss the revision of the criminal law,
in order to block the prosecution's abuse of investigative power.
We've already made a stance.
Firstly, the culprit of the serial murder case from last year
is Lee Sung Yong, and this case has already been concluded.
We all know that there is another culprit.
Secondly, the special investigation team
admits that there was a human rights violation during the internal investigation.
Thirdly, the special investigation team will be disbanded
and the prosecutors in charge are to be suspended.
We will take the suspension,
however, we cannot stop the investigation.
Yes, the investigation has just started to move in a new direction.
If you give us one more chance-
This is the decision of the organization.
Questions? I'm not taking any.
And this. Since you acquired this illegally, I'm giving it back.
Inspector General, Bae Min Gyu is given too many legal privileges thanks to his assemblyman father.
We should not back down.
That's right. Please reconsider your decision.
You two said you'd step down if something went wrong.
I will quit as soon as I resolve the case.
So will I.
The criminal law revision isn't the problem right now,
but the National Assembly is threatening to cut the prosecution budget drastically.
Your colleagues are all in danger because of you two.
Hey, Cha Young Woon. Can you bring our prosecution budget?
And those feral detectives on your team, Assemblyman Bae filed a complaint.
They've messed with the wrong person.
Will you persist on a real culprit in a situation like this?
In that case, why don't you just quit now,
and open up a detective agency?
Okay. We will close the investigation.
- Sunbae...
- Instead,
please resolve the complaint against the detectives.
Or else, we really will build a detective agency and chase this all the way.
Okay, will do.
You can leave now.
[Joint investigation by police and prosecutors in vain, will the team disband?]
[Reporter Park Ki Young]
Park Ki Young, that son of a bitch!
He really knows how to back-stab.
He's single-handedly covering all portals.
The commentators seem to want to blow up the Prosecutors' Office.
I mean, this isn't all my fault.
Are you all really going to embarrass me like this?
Prosecutor Yang, looks like you need some time to think.
Think what?
Was I the only one who didn't know that Bae Min Gyu and Park Ki Young were in contact?
We don't know for sure yet.
Exactly. None of us knew.
Park Ki Young knew it was off the record, yet didn't keep his promise.
Why are you treating me like a criminal?
Even though you're Alien, you should know when to bow out.
You really can't read the room?
What?
Hey, you!
What!
This shit show all started because you beat up Bae Min Gyu.
Why create this mess? Is this some kind of thug's lair?
What? What!
How did it go?
Starting now, the Special Investigation Team is disbanded.
What?
You're really backing out like this?
At this crucial time when Park Ki Young and Bae Min Gyu could've been accomplices,
you're just going to end it?
I am truly sorry to everyone who's worked on this together.
Prosecutor Cha.
In Jin Woo's case,
you said to ask for help whenever I needed it.
I think that the time is now.
This is the best I can do.
Hey!
Hey, Oh Jin Sang. Wait up.
Hear me out!
Gosh, darn it!
- Congratulations!
- No need to congratulate me.
- Reporter Park, treat us sometime!
- Sure! When?
Do you want a punch here or one outside?
Wow, you're going to use violence again?
You, son of a bitch.
Hey, look. I'm a reporter.
I'm a reporter who reports the truth, which is much more important than loyalty between friends.
The truth? I think your goal in life is to make Cha Young Woon's life miserable.
Why? Is it because you want to become more famous than Cha Young Woon?
Then, you should just shoot the president, asshole!
That'll suit you better.
You destroyed the burner phone, didn't you?
I don't think you understand what's going on.
The Special Investigation Team is over now.
The. End.
You devil...
No, you haven't met the real devil.
Detective Oh...
your brother Oh Jin Woo.
Why do you think he died?
What do you mean by that?
What do you mean, why did he die?
Did you kill my Jin Woo?
Don't waste your energy on anger.
You should use it on logic.
Hey. Hey, Park Ki Young!
I actually envy how you can make a deal with your job on the line.
I don't have as many options as you do.
Do you know what my mom's salon is called?
"Prosecutor Salon."
It's been ages since I've become a prosecutor,
but she still puts up banners in the neighborhood and brags.
Although she suffered from being with an abusive husband,
her daughter must've been her only hope.
The prosecutor job...
No, the title...
I don't think I can throw it away.
Then again, if there's one thing I want,
it's to catch Bae Min Gyu.
As a prosecutor.
I know it doesn't make sense in this situation.
What about you, Sunbae?
Why don't you say anything?
My mind's been made up from the start.
If I say I'll leave the prosecution first, you... want to remain, no...
Since you have to stay, you would be embarrassed.
My decision...
is to stay by your side.
You're starting to look cool.
I might've been after that.
I'm jealous that you can joke around, even in this situation.
I'm not joking, though.
Anyway, so what then?
You're going to give up?
I need to accept my wrongdoings and mistakes. But...
I can't close the book without finding out the ending.
What do you mean?
If you look back, all the negative articles about me were written by Park Ki Young.
Why did Ki Young do that to me?
Park Ki Young has always been extremely conscious of you.
I never got why he was so conscious of you when he was doing so well himself.
I think it's a bit different this time.
It feels like he's screwing us over at every important step,
and protecting Bae Min Gyu.
I have a strong feeling,
he's connected to Bae Min Gyu.
There's no definite evidence,
but a whole lot of suspicions.
Gosh, I'm going crazy.
I know.
Hey, they're here.
Aigoo.
The guys who had the best arrest rate have returned home in all their glory.
Don't bother putting your stuff away.
I heard you're getting transferred somewhere else.
What?
To where?
I mean, you two have received awards,
so higher-ups should good care of you.
Aigoo...
Detective Oh!
Gosh, stop that.
It's still bright outside.
Hyungnim, I had high hopes for Prosecutor Cha.
He's got both talent and a sense of justice.
The kind you can't find among rich, privileged prosecutors,
a perfect weapon apt with the highest options.
Honestly, I thought we wouldn't be able to re-investigate the case.
But...
I was like, "Wow, Prosecutor. Cha," when he got that approved.
But gosh, shit...
I lost even before I could shoot my shot.
Is it because he's an elite?
You're also an elite from the Police Academy! Say something!
Prosecutor Cha wouldn't have given up so easily if this was about his own brother.
Oh Jin Sang.
Prosecutor Cha...
closed the investigation to save us.
What?
He withdrew the complaint from Bae Min Gyu.
If it wasn't for Prosecutor Cha, we would be handcuffed and getting investigated.
The night sky feels really good.
Are you less upset now?
Nothing I was upset about.
Breaking Bae Min Gyu's nose...
Don't feel bad about it!
I would've done the same.
What about the transfer?
Probably, tomorrow.
I'd rather go back to Woojin.
And then?
I want to investigate Jin Woo's case again there.
Jung Tae hyungnim and Prosecutor Cha must've had a hard time because of me.
You think I wouldn't know that?
Hey, Young Joo.
It took you so much to become a prosecutor.
Don't put that on the line like that.
Jin Woo's case is now in my hands.
I'm going to figure it out on my own.
Are you okay?
Yes.
I feel very well.
Don't worry.
Have you had a talk with Ki Young?
No, not yet.
I've always thought of Ki Young as our family.
But I guess he doesn't feel the same.
I'll take care of that problem.
But are you two quite close with Assemblyman Bae?
He's not the only person we're close to.
If you're doing business, it's important to have a lot of connections.
Whether you like them or not.
This is why I don't like business.
Assemblyman Bae does not seem like a good person.
We're not as dense as you think we are.
I have important plans today, so I'll get going now.
I'm sorry.
I crossed the line.
I made a big mistake, huh?
I'm always on your mom's side.
The same goes for me.
Okay.
Are you upset with Young Woon?
If you can leave one thing behind in a collapsing world,
every parent would choose their children.
I need to check if Ki Young is driven
by mere competition, or if he's after something else.
Understood.
I'm sorry.
You're here. Sit down.
- You want one?
- Sure.
To be honest, the company hasn't been doing well recently,
so there was a lot of pressure at the desk to get a scoop.
Thanks to you, the investigation closed, and I got a three-month suspension.
Honestly, I am a bit upset,
but you were just doing your job.
But I feel sorry for putting my colleagues through a rough patch.
Young Joo and Hee Joo, they've both been relegated.
This is really serious.
How are you going to face Hee Joo and Prosecutor Go?
Have you completely taken your hands off the case?
I wonder if I should continue as a prosecutor.
My parents don't like my job anyway.
Geez...
Are you really going to quit?
I have other options.
I need to take one step at a time.
Gosh, I have a feeling your mother's going to call me.
Hey, she might compliment you.
Since she wishes me to quit the prosecution.
I guess that checks out.
I'm still scared of your mother.
Since her son is everything to her.
Ki Young.
Don't blame yourself too much.
I can handle this much of a punch.
Since you always have so much ease,
I can cause trouble without feeling guilty.
Anyway, I'm worried about Hee Joo.
For giving you embargoed information.
Actually, after I heard about the warrant request,
I shared it in the reporters' group chat.
Since different media outlets need to push for it to become a scoop.
I see. I wonder if the information leaked from the reporters' group chat.
I'm not sure...
Well, all right. Thanks for being honest with me.
Oh, I've got an interview, so I'll get going.
All right, good luck.
Hello, Prosecutor Choi.
Reporting!
Yook Jung Tae, the new transfer to the Transportation Division.
New transfer, Oh Jin Sang.
You guys must be the ones who got kicked out from the prosecution for butting in.
Perfect for a ticketing job.
Welcome.
Things like butting in and punching someone in the face could happen in life.
Don't be discouraged and get changed.
Pick whatever fits you.
I don't know if we have a size that'll fit you.
Make the clothes bigger and yourself shorter.
Anyway, get your supplies and start training in the basement auditorium.
Aigoo, delicious.
Gosh...
I don't know if this will be like your old position, but...
Aigoo, it's telling me to go right away.
I guess I need to make eggs now that I've eaten chicken.
Don't touch this. I bought it with my own money.
I think a huge egg is on its way. A crane's egg.
A crane's egg, crane's egg.
Whoa...
Is he the same guy who used to be a top cop?
Don't even mention it. He was once a legend.
He was relegated for kicking the ass of a prosecutor,
who was well-known for being tenacious.
I have a feeling you'll get along with him.
Stop making up such dumb assumptions.
There are already so many things that annoy me.
I think there'll be a lot of things to be pissed off about...
Let's go change.
Okay. That's yours.
See if it fits.
Gosh, I can't do this! Damn it!
I've got bad lungs, so working in the traffic department will be like poison.
Hey, it's me.
Hospitalized? Which hospital?
Oh, really?
Oh, because of eczema? Gosh, must be hard.
Then, I have a favor to ask.
Okay, got it.
Was someone hospitalized?
It's nothing.
Who's this?
Whoa.
Hello, Prosecutor Cha.
What?
Yes, understood.
Okay. Goodbye.
What does Prosecutor Cha want?
He invited all of us to dinner at his home.
- Really?
- Yeah.
He mentioned a very competent colleague.
You must be the one.
No such thing. It's too much praise.
Wow, she's very beautiful.
It's rude to judge someone's looks.
I wasn't judging, rather complimenting.
Long time no see.
Yes.
I'm sorry for not properly thanking you after Jin Woo's funeral.
Everyone's busy, so I understand.
The guests are here.
They must be here.
- Hello.
- Come on in. Over here.
Mother, you two have met before, right?
Of course.
Must've been tough working with my particular son.
Prosecutor Cha has changed a lot, so he's not so particular anymore.
He's a lot friendlier than expected.
Well, then. Relax and have a nice meal.
Yes, thank you.
I thought it'd be nice to have a disbanding dinner for the special investigation team.
- Go ahead.
- Thank you.
Are those people just going to stand there?
I'll take care of it here.
Hey, good job. I was so uncomfortable.
Why do you keep people ready when you're eating?
Oh, there are things to serve during meals, and they can help with quite a few things.
Oh, I see. I guess this is how the rich people live.
It's only on special occasions.
Please enjoy.
Is that for real?
Young Joo and I aren't allowed to do official investigation work for three months.
Instead, we bought time to do the investigation in our own time.
Sunbae!
No matter how much you did that because of us,
I thought you accepted it too easily.
Prosecutor Cha, I'm starting to like you a lot.
I'm glad.
But we need to work discreetly.
Can you keep an eye on Bae Min Gyu?
Of course, I can.
In fact, there's a guy I know who is outside the government's power.
Huh?
I heard he'd been hospitalized for severe eczema.
Hyungnim, you saw him, too. Drugs.
Right!
Wow, you're very fast, Detective Oh.
He's not one to stay put.
It's how I respect my job.
Prosecutor Cha, what do you think of the relationship between Park Ki Young and Bae Min Gyu?
Actually, Park Ki Young claims he shared the information in the reporters' group chat,
but I doubt if this is true since he's a mania for scoops.
We need to check.
Oh, and to share one more thing,
since he was young, Ki Young was neglected by his mother to the degree of abuse.
Our family sponsored him when he was in middle school.
We've been like brothers ever since.
Why is he so jealous of you and trying to get in your way?
Repaying kindness with evil is quite common.
Detective Oh, do you also suspect the relationship between Bae Min Gyu and Ki Young?
It's not only suspicion, but I have a bad feeling about Park Ki Young.
As long as I know, Ki Young wouldn't go as far as to murder.
But Sunbae,
you know what?
Park Ki Young even uses the same cologne as you.
I'm just personally curious.
I guess old childhood friends all use the same cologne.
It's a bit too strong, though, Sunbae.
The degree to how jealous he is of you and looks up to you is a bit extreme.
I think it's a bit far-fetched to connect such abnormal psychology to murder.
Fine.
Let's say that Park Ki Young screwed you with articles.
But he made a mess in a situation where we could catch the killer or not.
No matter how I look at it, it seems like there is a correlation to the murder case.
I guess we'll have to find out the new face, Park Ki Young.
First, Sunbae and I will meet with Bae Min Gyu.
Your room is as big as a playground, Prosecutor Cha.
It's such a waste of space when you're using this alone.
Well, who knows? Soon, I might find someone to share it with.
All right, we're here.
How's the new job?
I just need to be thankful I didn't get fired.
I'm having fun.
Hey, what if I'd gotten fired?
Ms. Pi Jang Mi would-
Just thinking about it makes me dizzy.
Prosecutor Cha is the real alien.
I guess.
He definitely lives in a different world from us.
He has so much confidence since he has everything.
Hey, you have a lot of confidence, even without anything.
It's all just a bluff.
I think it's instincts.
You think?
I must've been an aristocrat in my past life,
not in this life, though.
Gosh.
Oh Jin Sang.
Let's take it easy this time.
We could all lose our jobs in a snap.
I got it.
But Park Ki Young said some questionable things to me.
You didn't break Park Ki Young's nose, did you?
I didn't. We Just talked.
You scared me.
My heart nearly dropped.
What did he say?
He said...
Detective Oh...
your brother Oh Jin Woo.
Why do you think he died?
Don't waste your energy on anger.
You should use it on logic.
Huh?
What the heck?
He says it like he knows everything about Jin Woo's death.
Right?
What if Park Ki Young is the witness who sent the video of Jin Woo's death?
If Park Ki Young is the witness,
since Bae Min Gyu was in the US on the day of the incident,
that would mean someone else killed Jin Woo.
No, no, no.
Something feels odd to rule out Park Ki Young.
[Prosecution investigations team disciplined for poorly-conducted investigation scandal]
Reporter Park.
Don't you think it's wrong to repay Director Yoo's favor this way?
You really...
think it was a favor?
What do you mean?
I mean, I have received more than enough help so far.
But the more help I get, I feel so little.
I need to stand on my two feet.
And my job is important to do that.
I think I did what I needed to do as a reporter.
About the articles regarding the hospital,
using too much of your imagination on very little information.
That's not a reporter's duty.
[Cracking down on speeding]
Hold it up.
Do we have to do stuff like this?
Then I'll hold it up, you direct.
You should also take my salary and raise my three sons too.
I also have a mom who's over 100, so you caretake her, too.
I'll tolerate someone who butts in but won't tolerate a rude bastard.
These are my rules. Stop whining and hold this.
Let's go.
What are you doing? Come on.
[Cracking down on speeding]
H-Hey, hey, hey!
What the heck! That son of-
D-Detective, D-Detective Oh!
Hey, hey. Hey!
I guess we'll never get bored with that guy around.
I wish we were.
Is he after me?
Geez.
Geez, it must almost be lunchtime.
What the heck?
Sunbaenim!
Detective Lee!
What brings you to Seoul?
I took a day off for a blind date.
I had a bit of time while I was here, so I came to see you.
Really? Glad you're here.
Let's go eat.
You're looking really good.
I put in a bit of effort.
It's cooked. Eat before it gets cold.
I thought we'd just grab some tea.
This place looks expensive. It's too much!
No need to feel bad.
Anything new at Woojin Police Station?
Woojin is always the same.
Sunbaenim.
Yeah?
We tried our best on Jin Woo's case, but...
I know. It's tough.
So I inquired about the outsiders who visited Woojin on the day Jin Woo died.
You know Mr. Park of Big Fishing, right?
Of course, I do. He dated Ae Ra from Pumpkin Cafe.
That's right. According to Mr. Park,
a famous fishing blogger came to Woojin on the day of Jin Woo's accident.
And when I checked the blog...
When you checked...
Hang on. I don't know if this'll be of any help,
among the photos the fishing blogger posted of Woojin that day,
there was an outsider who happened to be in the photo.
Really?
It's Park Ki Young.
The day Jin Woo died, Park Ki Young was in Woojin.
Prosecutor Cha.
- Yes?
- Have you ever been to Park Ki Young's house?
No, I haven't.
Why do you ask?
I heard something interesting while I was investigating him.
I've been working at this villa for 10 years now,
there haven't been any guests visiting unit 505.
They might've come when you were off.
That can't be. There's no one on the visitor list, either.
It's known as the "house with no guests" among us.
I see...
What do you think?
You're right.
No matter how picky he is, he's part of the working world.
It's a bit odd that no one's come to visit.
Come to think of it, he didn't have a housewarming party when I told him he should.
He also refused everything when my mother offered to buy things for him.
I remember my mother ended up not going to this house.
Exactly. It doesn't make any sense.
On that note,
I think we'll be able to find all sorts of crap just by opening up his PC.
Since he wouldn't have used his work computer to commit crimes.
We would have to track his PC to find any evidence.
But we can't just search houses or PCs when we don't have investigative powers.
Park Ki Young's house...
I'll search it.
Not yet.
Detective Oh, you can't do that yet.
Park Ki Young was in Woojin the day Jin Woo died.
Either that bastard killed Jin Woo,
or he witnessed Jin Woo's death. One of the two.
I will...
go to hell.
So, you think lemontree was Park Ki Young?
Who knows? Anyway, when there's a new person involved,
it's our detective duty to check it.
It feels like you're favoring this case over any other ones.
Men are blind to their own cause.
- Welcome.
- Hello.
Oh, yes.
We have a few questions.
Oh, he used to come frequently a while ago.
How far back is "a while ago"? A year?
I'm not sure...
I think so.
I remember now that I've seen his hoodie.
It is this person.
This is enough evidence to chase Park Ki Young, right?
I'm not usually like this, but-
No, you are usually very brave.
Gosh, I don't know. I feel like I'm getting gaslighted by you.
There may be a time difference in catching a criminal...
But there is no error.
Though there be a time difference...
There is no error!
Okay!
Hey, Alien!
Geez, what is it?
I just have something to ask you.
What?
Have you ever been to Park Ki Young's house?
- No, I haven't
- Why not? Aren't you guys close?
We were, but I've never been to his house.
Since we always met up at Young Woon sunbae's house.
- But why?
- Well, since you two are close,
I thought maybe you knew his door lock code.
I'm not that close to Park Ki Young.
How come you ask about Ki Young sunbae?
It's nothing. Forget it.
Bye.
Alien! You don't have siblings, do you?
You've never lost a sibling nor gone hungry, huh?
How can I help you?
What's with the sudden kindness?
Well, I guess I have a few mistakes to make up for.
And also, I really don't like the way you treat me like a have-it-all.
I'm also a prosecutor, you know. So ask me before I change my mind.
No, no, never mind. Bye.
Hey, Detective Oh!
I'm asking how I can help you.
Sunbae!
Come up here!
Come on, come up here!
You're no fun.
Stay out with Park Ki Young as late as you can.
Hey, Giant.
I really don't think this is a good idea.
What again? What?
No matter the cause or even if we're off duty, this is beyond the traffic police's authority.
I can't do this.
Overtime pay!
I'll treat you.
You really understand the world of capitalism.
Be thankful that the homicide detective in me is still alive.
Let's go.
Wow, you detectives really know how to treat someone.
You must also be great at investigations.
I've picked all these out, considering your taste.
I paid for them!
Anyway, thank you, both.
So, what about unit 505?
He seems quiet and well-mannered.
Was there any woman who came to visit?
Not at all. Forget women. Not a single person has come to visit.
We found out that he has some serious problems with women.
- Really?
- Yes.
He doesn't just have one type.
Sometimes fat women, slim women at other times.
Tall women, and then short women.
Sometimes very picky, then not at all.
Womanly men, then manly women.
Anyway, it seems very complicated.
That crazy nut.
I should've ended him right then and there.
I'm holding back because of you two.
The investigation is closed now,
so we shouldn't have to see each other ever again.
This is exactly why...
Why did you dig into a case that's been finished?
Even getting disciplined and all.
There weren't just one or two reports, Mr. Bae Min Gyu.
By chance...
do you know reporter Park Ki Young?
What is this? Are you investigating me in the name of a visit?
Park Ki Young?
Never heard of him. Why?
Just wondering since you two were in the same year at the same college.
Prosecutor Cha, Prosecutor Go, all three of us are alums,
are we close? Huh?
I guess we are.
Geez, Prosecutor Go.
I said we should grab a drink sometime.
You're getting sexier by the minute.
Hey, Bae Min Gyu. This is a warning.
Watch your mouth.
Why?
Can't I be friends with her?
Hey! You like her, don't you?
Let's go, Sunbae.
Come on.
I've never met anyone so creepy like him in my life.
I know. Don't mind him too much.
What do you think?
Do you think he really doesn't know Park Ki Young?
No, he's lying.
I also vote it's a lie.
I thought you blocked me on social media. What changed your mind?
I was really pissed off at you!
I got bullied because of you, Sunbae! Hated your guts!
I know. And I'm really sorry about that.
That's why I called you to buy drinks.
Of course, that's the least I can do.
But I brought my car today, so drinking is a bit...
I'll pay for it, though.
Am I poor or something?
Just get a driver.
There's an article I need to finish by tonight.
Whatever!
You have to party with me as if you were drinking.
I'm really close with the DJ here tonight.
We're going to party to some great music,
so let's go!
Come on!
Hurry!
Pastries are always tastier when they're shared.
Try some of this.
This one has the perfect amount of sweetness.
Sweet pastries are not in trend now.
We have very similar tastes.
Sophisticated and very tasteful.
Gosh, I'm so sorry.
Recently, I need to use the bathroom so suddenly.
I'm so sorry.
I wonder if he has diabetes at such a young age. He goes often.
I heard that a lot of young people get diabetes.
Sir, you don't have diabetes, right?
Hold on.
You can check your health in the eyes.
Wow, you'll live long. At least up to a hundred.
No way. A hundred is too old.
I need to go when's it's time.
The time is when you're a hundred.
Really?
I mean, I heard that people don't celebrate their 80th anymore.
You need to at least make it to 90 to be celebrated with a talent show.
You need to see your kid's talent show before you go.
Of course! My youngest grandson is really good at Taekwondo.
The splits is key to Taekwondo.
And the kick!
Have another one of this.
Hey, you're here.
Let's go in.
Gosh, what's that?
Do it like this.
Exactly. Just like that.
Good job!
Sunbae, I'll be right back. Bathroom break.
[Jin Sang the Ass]
Hey, Detective Oh! Not done, yet?
Hold on...
I'm a prosecutor after all.
Gosh, Sunbae. Aren't you going to dance?
I'm really tired. Let's get going.
Gosh, such a party pooper.
Sunbae, do you want to have one more drink at my place?
Hee Joo.
Yeah?
How could you make an offer I can't resist?
- Shall we?
- Sure!
Sunbae?
Is something wrong?
No, it's nothing.
- Hee Joo.
- Huh?
You look really pretty today.
All of a sudden?
Your room is as big as a playground, Prosecutor Cha.
♪ Break it all down ♪
♪ Till we get to the end ♪
♪ In the maze alone ♪
♪ I'm lost and wander around ♪
[Longing For You]
- This is my room.
- I heard it's Park Ki Young's.
Isn't this a mental disease, at this point?
What? To Hee Joo?
I have a feeling you bastards killed my brother.
I'm going to condemn you all myself.
Before I expose the video, bring me the present.
Is Park Ki Young out to play a game with Cha sunbae?
I will make sure to end this before that.
Park Ki Young, we need to find him first.
Nothing comes for free in this world.
There's always a price to too much kindness.

[Episode 6]
You've lost it!
You should've just followed, not beat him up to a pulp.
Do you want to get fired?
If it's just you, fine. We'll all go down!
You know that I'm included in "we," right?
The warrant was rejected.
The killer was making a scene in front of me. Should I have let it go?
Why didn't you just break his legs and arms?
Actually, you should've just killed him!
Go Young Joo, just listen to me-
Shut up!
I don't want to talk to you.
Hey, Young Joo.
Geez.
Investigator,
let's work together.
Excuse me?
My deepest apologies, Assemblyman.
Which department are you? Huh!
These shitty cops have no manners whatsoever!
You're fired! Immediately!
Please calm down.
Both the police and prosecution are the same.
Whoever did that to my Min Gyu, fire them and bring them here now!
Assemblyman.
We're at the hospital. Please lower your voice.
How is he doing?
The nasal septal is dislocated in the nasal bone fractures,
but there's no problem if we do the surgery once the swelling goes down.
Prosecutor Cha, I'm holding back for your mother's sake.
Detective Oh...
You're making it really difficult to work with you.
Assemblyman Bae told the Police Commissioner and even the Attorney General that he'd sue you.
- So?
- We've processed disciplinary action on paper.
I almost got hit by Assemblyman Bae.
What about the bastard?
He needs surgery.
Gosh, I'm so relieved that he didn't die.
Okay.
Here. This is Bae Min Gyu's burner phone.
I haven't hit you yet, asshole.
Three!
Did you hit him on purpose to take this?
I thought you were a nose-breaking expert, but you're a pickpocketer.
He deserved to be punished with my punches.
And since the warrant's been dismissed, I needed to get it, even if that meant stealing.
If he escapes again, we wouldn't have another chance.
Did you think I went without a plan B?
Hold on.
How did you unlock this phone?
Here's what you asked for.
Thank you.
Investigator,
let's work together.
Excuse me?
Run the fingerprints, please.
[Korea Crime Scene Investigation]
We took Bae Min Gyu's fingerprints and copied them with a 3D printer.
Wow! Nice!
Wow...
Gosh.
There's only one number saved on this phone.
But that phone is also a burner phone.
Only the Telegram app and all the messages have been deleted.
Two burner phones have been communicating discreetly.
Let's start by locating the burner phone.
They probably noticed and had already turned the phone off.
They probably destroyed it by now.
But you know...
Bae Min Gyu...
forgot to delete the messages he exchanged earlier at the restaurant.
What's it about?
"A request for a warrant's been submitted
Bae Min Gyu's reply was, "Mind your business!"
"Forget the government authorities."
Wouldn't it be something like that?
Wait. The warrant request was kept top-secret that only our team knew about... how did it...
Where do you think the secret got out?
By the way, where's the Alien?
Gosh, let me call her.
I feel like the Alien might have-
Let's not doubt anyone without any grounds.
We can check tomorrow morning.
And this...
run the forensics, and if additional evidence comes out,
let's request a warrant for Bae Min Gyu again.
He'd be stuck at the hospital recovering from surgery for a while.
But what if Bae Min Gyu comes after us for illegally acquiring evidence?
That's...
We happened to pick up the burner phone from the restaurant.
By mere coincidence.
Wow, you know best.
We should also apply for a departure ban.
Since he's such a law exploiter.
Definitely.
Detective Yook, whoever the owner of the other burner phone may be,
there's a chance they'll be in contact with Bae Min Gyu.
I'll discreetly put an undercover group in the hospital.
Okay.
I knew that Assemblyman Bae was powerful,
but he could even move the judiciary?
How could the warrant get rejected?
I really can't wrap my head around this rejection.
Anyway, don't lose motivation, and keep working hard.
That's it for today. Let's come back to it tomorrow morning.
- Yes.
- All right.
Thank you for everything.
I think it's time for me to leave Woojin.
Dr. Chu! What's gotten into you?
What kind of silly nonsense are you talking about?
Are you mad at us or something?
Or did you eat something funny?
No, no, it's not that. It's all my fault.
Dr. Chu, I know that you've had a tough time because of us.
So, Jang Mi and I have come to an agreement.
Excuse me?
We decided we won't ever fight over you, ever again.
So, please stop saying that you're going to leave Woojin.
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday will be with Pi Jang Mi.
Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday will be with me, Hong Yeong Hee.
We agreed on those days to go on dates with you.
Unni, you know the salon closes on Tuesdays.
I should take Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Oh, that's right.
Pi Jang Mi will take Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
And I'll take Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
I heard that young people nowadays rent a house together and share it with several people.
Let's stop fighting and make sure all three of us get along.
Is that all right?
Polyamory.
You've made a very difficult decision.
Poly?
What is that?
It means that multiple people are in love.
It means that all three of us, love together.
Oh, my! I guess that actually exists!
Wow, we really know to foresee the future.
T-Then, we should also so "poly"!
"Please, bring me a glass of wine."
"Since there is no real meaning in life."
That's right.
These were the last words of the poet Fernando Pessoa left before he died.
Even a poet claimed that life was no big deal.
What would life be for a pathetic coward like me?
Nevertheless, the welcome I receive from you ladies.
It is a great privilege.
Yes.
Even if I were to die now, I'd have no regrets.
Enough to die now?
So you are saying that you love us, right?
Yes.
Wow!
- Poly.
- Amory.
The forensics run on this shows nothing much has been found since
all the chat rooms have been destroyed.
Let's try to find additional evidence-
What is it? Did something happen?
- Prosecutor Yang!
- Detective Oh.
Yang Hee Joo.
Yeah?
- Did you happen to-
- What's going on?
Are you all psychics?
How'd you know I caught the big fish?
All the murder victims had one thing in common. They were all treated at Jinjin Medical Center.
The first victim was treated at the beauty center,
the second victim had appendicitis surgery.
And the third high schooler received surgery for a femoral fracture from a car accident.
[Jinjin Medical Center]
[Name: Lee Hae Ju / Age: 16]
Where did you get these records?
What do mean?
I asked Director Yoo for the investigation.
Alien, let's be honest here.
What's this?
Are you doubting my abilities?
I guess you people with zero creativity wouldn't understand,
but this is a basic stance for me.
You need to think outside the box when you're investigating.
When you guys were busy just digging for the culprit, I focused on the victim,
and this amazing thing happened!
We're stunned since it's so outside the box.
Why are you guys being like this?
The person who was communicating with Bae Min Gyu using a burner phone
told Bae Min Gyu that a warrant was going to be issued.
Could it be Ki Young sunbae?
Geez, it is the trashy reporter Park Ki Young.
Wait a minute. S-So you're saying,
Ki Young is the owner of the burner phone who texted Bae Min Gyu?
Hey, this doesn't make any sense.
Yang Hee Joo, speak up. What is it?
I think it does makes sense.
Park Ki Young, that bastard. He loves to mess with Prosecutor Cha.
I think it's true that Hee Joo gave him the information.
Given the circumstances, I think it's Park Ki Young.
What a bombshell.
Exactly.
But if Park Ki Young is an accomplice, why did he give
information on Jinjin Medical Center?
Whether he is an accomplice or they were simply exchanging information,
let's summon him and check.
Sunbae, I know you're shocked about your friend.
First, let's call him in and investigate.
Let's take a short break.
Cha Young Woon! Go Young Joo! Inspector General is calling for you two.
Without a warrant, the police and prosecution joint investigation
have allegedly assaulted civilians and violated human rights.
The investigation team is revealed to be the team
that even received a reward for arresting a serial killer last year-
Today, the National Assembly decided to discuss the revision of the criminal law,
in order to block the prosecution's abuse of investigative power.
We've already made a stance.
Firstly, the culprit of the serial murder case from last year
is Lee Sung Yong, and this case has already been concluded.
We all know that there is another culprit.
Secondly, the special investigation team
admits that there was a human rights violation during the internal investigation.
Thirdly, the special investigation team will be disbanded
and the prosecutors in charge are to be suspended.
We will take the suspension,
however, we cannot stop the investigation.
Yes, the investigation has just started to move in a new direction.
If you give us one more chance-
This is the decision of the organization.
Questions? I'm not taking any.
And this. Since you acquired this illegally, I'm giving it back.
Inspector General, Bae Min Gyu is given too many legal privileges thanks to his assemblyman father.
We should not back down.
That's right. Please reconsider your decision.
You two said you'd step down if something went wrong.
I will quit as soon as I resolve the case.
So will I.
The criminal law revision isn't the problem right now,
but the National Assembly is threatening to cut the prosecution budget drastically.
Your colleagues are all in danger because of you two.
Hey, Cha Young Woon. Can you bring our prosecution budget?
And those feral detectives on your team, Assemblyman Bae filed a complaint.
They've messed with the wrong person.
Will you persist on a real culprit in a situation like this?
In that case, why don't you just quit now,
and open up a detective agency?
Okay. We will close the investigation.
- Sunbae...
- Instead,
please resolve the complaint against the detectives.
Or else, we really will build a detective agency and chase this all the way.
Okay, will do.
You can leave now.
[Joint investigation by police and prosecutors in vain, will the team disband?]
[Reporter Park Ki Young]
Park Ki Young, that son of a bitch!
He really knows how to back-stab.
He's single-handedly covering all portals.
The commentators seem to want to blow up the Prosecutors' Office.
I mean, this isn't all my fault.
Are you all really going to embarrass me like this?
Prosecutor Yang, looks like you need some time to think.
Think what?
Was I the only one who didn't know that Bae Min Gyu and Park Ki Young were in contact?
We don't know for sure yet.
Exactly. None of us knew.
Park Ki Young knew it was off the record, yet didn't keep his promise.
Why are you treating me like a criminal?
Even though you're Alien, you should know when to bow out.
You really can't read the room?
What?
Hey, you!
What!
This shit show all started because you beat up Bae Min Gyu.
Why create this mess? Is this some kind of thug's lair?
What? What!
How did it go?
Starting now, the Special Investigation Team is disbanded.
What?
You're really backing out like this?
At this crucial time when Park Ki Young and Bae Min Gyu could've been accomplices,
you're just going to end it?
I am truly sorry to everyone who's worked on this together.
Prosecutor Cha.
In Jin Woo's case,
you said to ask for help whenever I needed it.
I think that the time is now.
This is the best I can do.
Hey!
Hey, Oh Jin Sang. Wait up.
Hear me out!
Gosh, darn it!
- Congratulations!
- No need to congratulate me.
- Reporter Park, treat us sometime!
- Sure! When?
Do you want a punch here or one outside?
Wow, you're going to use violence again?
You, son of a bitch.
Hey, look. I'm a reporter.
I'm a reporter who reports the truth, which is much more important than loyalty between friends.
The truth? I think your goal in life is to make Cha Young Woon's life miserable.
Why? Is it because you want to become more famous than Cha Young Woon?
Then, you should just shoot the president, asshole!
That'll suit you better.
You destroyed the burner phone, didn't you?
I don't think you understand what's going on.
The Special Investigation Team is over now.
The. End.
You devil...
No, you haven't met the real devil.
Detective Oh...
your brother Oh Jin Woo.
Why do you think he died?
What do you mean by that?
What do you mean, why did he die?
Did you kill my Jin Woo?
Don't waste your energy on anger.
You should use it on logic.
Hey. Hey, Park Ki Young!
I actually envy how you can make a deal with your job on the line.
I don't have as many options as you do.
Do you know what my mom's salon is called?
"Prosecutor Salon."
It's been ages since I've become a prosecutor,
but she still puts up banners in the neighborhood and brags.
Although she suffered from being with an abusive husband,
her daughter must've been her only hope.
The prosecutor job...
No, the title...
I don't think I can throw it away.
Then again, if there's one thing I want,
it's to catch Bae Min Gyu.
As a prosecutor.
I know it doesn't make sense in this situation.
What about you, Sunbae?
Why don't you say anything?
My mind's been made up from the start.
If I say I'll leave the prosecution first, you... want to remain, no...
Since you have to stay, you would be embarrassed.
My decision...
is to stay by your side.
You're starting to look cool.
I might've been after that.
I'm jealous that you can joke around, even in this situation.
I'm not joking, though.
Anyway, so what then?
You're going to give up?
I need to accept my wrongdoings and mistakes. But...
I can't close the book without finding out the ending.
What do you mean?
If you look back, all the negative articles about me were written by Park Ki Young.
Why did Ki Young do that to me?
Park Ki Young has always been extremely conscious of you.
I never got why he was so conscious of you when he was doing so well himself.
I think it's a bit different this time.
It feels like he's screwing us over at every important step,
and protecting Bae Min Gyu.
I have a strong feeling,
he's connected to Bae Min Gyu.
There's no definite evidence,
but a whole lot of suspicions.
Gosh, I'm going crazy.
I know.
Hey, they're here.
Aigoo.
The guys who had the best arrest rate have returned home in all their glory.
Don't bother putting your stuff away.
I heard you're getting transferred somewhere else.
What?
To where?
I mean, you two have received awards,
so higher-ups should good care of you.
Aigoo...
Detective Oh!
Gosh, stop that.
It's still bright outside.
Hyungnim, I had high hopes for Prosecutor Cha.
He's got both talent and a sense of justice.
The kind you can't find among rich, privileged prosecutors,
a perfect weapon apt with the highest options.
Honestly, I thought we wouldn't be able to re-investigate the case.
But...
I was like, "Wow, Prosecutor. Cha," when he got that approved.
But gosh, shit...
I lost even before I could shoot my shot.
Is it because he's an elite?
You're also an elite from the Police Academy! Say something!
Prosecutor Cha wouldn't have given up so easily if this was about his own brother.
Oh Jin Sang.
Prosecutor Cha...
closed the investigation to save us.
What?
He withdrew the complaint from Bae Min Gyu.
If it wasn't for Prosecutor Cha, we would be handcuffed and getting investigated.
The night sky feels really good.
Are you less upset now?
Nothing I was upset about.
Breaking Bae Min Gyu's nose...
Don't feel bad about it!
I would've done the same.
What about the transfer?
Probably, tomorrow.
I'd rather go back to Woojin.
And then?
I want to investigate Jin Woo's case again there.
Jung Tae hyungnim and Prosecutor Cha must've had a hard time because of me.
You think I wouldn't know that?
Hey, Young Joo.
It took you so much to become a prosecutor.
Don't put that on the line like that.
Jin Woo's case is now in my hands.
I'm going to figure it out on my own.
Are you okay?
Yes.
I feel very well.
Don't worry.
Have you had a talk with Ki Young?
No, not yet.
I've always thought of Ki Young as our family.
But I guess he doesn't feel the same.
I'll take care of that problem.
But are you two quite close with Assemblyman Bae?
He's not the only person we're close to.
If you're doing business, it's important to have a lot of connections.
Whether you like them or not.
This is why I don't like business.
Assemblyman Bae does not seem like a good person.
We're not as dense as you think we are.
I have important plans today, so I'll get going now.
I'm sorry.
I crossed the line.
I made a big mistake, huh?
I'm always on your mom's side.
The same goes for me.
Okay.
Are you upset with Young Woon?
If you can leave one thing behind in a collapsing world,
every parent would choose their children.
I need to check if Ki Young is driven
by mere competition, or if he's after something else.
Understood.
I'm sorry.
You're here. Sit down.
- You want one?
- Sure.
To be honest, the company hasn't been doing well recently,
so there was a lot of pressure at the desk to get a scoop.
Thanks to you, the investigation closed, and I got a three-month suspension.
Honestly, I am a bit upset,
but you were just doing your job.
But I feel sorry for putting my colleagues through a rough patch.
Young Joo and Hee Joo, they've both been relegated.
This is really serious.
How are you going to face Hee Joo and Prosecutor Go?
Have you completely taken your hands off the case?
I wonder if I should continue as a prosecutor.
My parents don't like my job anyway.
Geez...
Are you really going to quit?
I have other options.
I need to take one step at a time.
Gosh, I have a feeling your mother's going to call me.
Hey, she might compliment you.
Since she wishes me to quit the prosecution.
I guess that checks out.
I'm still scared of your mother.
Since her son is everything to her.
Ki Young.
Don't blame yourself too much.
I can handle this much of a punch.
Since you always have so much ease,
I can cause trouble without feeling guilty.
Anyway, I'm worried about Hee Joo.
For giving you embargoed information.
Actually, after I heard about the warrant request,
I shared it in the reporters' group chat.
Since different media outlets need to push for it to become a scoop.
I see. I wonder if the information leaked from the reporters' group chat.
I'm not sure...
Well, all right. Thanks for being honest with me.
Oh, I've got an interview, so I'll get going.
All right, good luck.
Hello, Prosecutor Choi.
Reporting!
Yook Jung Tae, the new transfer to the Transportation Division.
New transfer, Oh Jin Sang.
You guys must be the ones who got kicked out from the prosecution for butting in.
Perfect for a ticketing job.
Welcome.
Things like butting in and punching someone in the face could happen in life.
Don't be discouraged and get changed.
Pick whatever fits you.
I don't know if we have a size that'll fit you.
Make the clothes bigger and yourself shorter.
Anyway, get your supplies and start training in the basement auditorium.
Aigoo, delicious.
Gosh...
I don't know if this will be like your old position, but...
Aigoo, it's telling me to go right away.
I guess I need to make eggs now that I've eaten chicken.
Don't touch this. I bought it with my own money.
I think a huge egg is on its way. A crane's egg.
A crane's egg, crane's egg.
Whoa...
Is he the same guy who used to be a top cop?
Don't even mention it. He was once a legend.
He was relegated for kicking the ass of a prosecutor,
who was well-known for being tenacious.
I have a feeling you'll get along with him.
Stop making up such dumb assumptions.
There are already so many things that annoy me.
I think there'll be a lot of things to be pissed off about...
Let's go change.
Okay. That's yours.
See if it fits.
Gosh, I can't do this! Damn it!
I've got bad lungs, so working in the traffic department will be like poison.
Hey, it's me.
Hospitalized? Which hospital?
Oh, really?
Oh, because of eczema? Gosh, must be hard.
Then, I have a favor to ask.
Okay, got it.
Was someone hospitalized?
It's nothing.
Who's this?
Whoa.
Hello, Prosecutor Cha.
What?
Yes, understood.
Okay. Goodbye.
What does Prosecutor Cha want?
He invited all of us to dinner at his home.
- Really?
- Yeah.
He mentioned a very competent colleague.
You must be the one.
No such thing. It's too much praise.
Wow, she's very beautiful.
It's rude to judge someone's looks.
I wasn't judging, rather complimenting.
Long time no see.
Yes.
I'm sorry for not properly thanking you after Jin Woo's funeral.
Everyone's busy, so I understand.
The guests are here.
They must be here.
- Hello.
- Come on in. Over here.
Mother, you two have met before, right?
Of course.
Must've been tough working with my particular son.
Prosecutor Cha has changed a lot, so he's not so particular anymore.
He's a lot friendlier than expected.
Well, then. Relax and have a nice meal.
Yes, thank you.
I thought it'd be nice to have a disbanding dinner for the special investigation team.
- Go ahead.
- Thank you.
Are those people just going to stand there?
I'll take care of it here.
Hey, good job. I was so uncomfortable.
Why do you keep people ready when you're eating?
Oh, there are things to serve during meals, and they can help with quite a few things.
Oh, I see. I guess this is how the rich people live.
It's only on special occasions.
Please enjoy.
Is that for real?
Young Joo and I aren't allowed to do official investigation work for three months.
Instead, we bought time to do the investigation in our own time.
Sunbae!
No matter how much you did that because of us,
I thought you accepted it too easily.
Prosecutor Cha, I'm starting to like you a lot.
I'm glad.
But we need to work discreetly.
Can you keep an eye on Bae Min Gyu?
Of course, I can.
In fact, there's a guy I know who is outside the government's power.
Huh?
I heard he'd been hospitalized for severe eczema.
Hyungnim, you saw him, too. Drugs.
Right!
Wow, you're very fast, Detective Oh.
He's not one to stay put.
It's how I respect my job.
Prosecutor Cha, what do you think of the relationship between Park Ki Young and Bae Min Gyu?
Actually, Park Ki Young claims he shared the information in the reporters' group chat,
but I doubt if this is true since he's a mania for scoops.
We need to check.
Oh, and to share one more thing,
since he was young, Ki Young was neglected by his mother to the degree of abuse.
Our family sponsored him when he was in middle school.
We've been like brothers ever since.
Why is he so jealous of you and trying to get in your way?
Repaying kindness with evil is quite common.
Detective Oh, do you also suspect the relationship between Bae Min Gyu and Ki Young?
It's not only suspicion, but I have a bad feeling about Park Ki Young.
As long as I know, Ki Young wouldn't go as far as to murder.
But Sunbae,
you know what?
Park Ki Young even uses the same cologne as you.
I'm just personally curious.
I guess old childhood friends all use the same cologne.
It's a bit too strong, though, Sunbae.
The degree to how jealous he is of you and looks up to you is a bit extreme.
I think it's a bit far-fetched to connect such abnormal psychology to murder.
Fine.
Let's say that Park Ki Young screwed you with articles.
But he made a mess in a situation where we could catch the killer or not.
No matter how I look at it, it seems like there is a correlation to the murder case.
I guess we'll have to find out the new face, Park Ki Young.
First, Sunbae and I will meet with Bae Min Gyu.
Your room is as big as a playground, Prosecutor Cha.
It's such a waste of space when you're using this alone.
Well, who knows? Soon, I might find someone to share it with.
All right, we're here.
How's the new job?
I just need to be thankful I didn't get fired.
I'm having fun.
Hey, what if I'd gotten fired?
Ms. Pi Jang Mi would-
Just thinking about it makes me dizzy.
Prosecutor Cha is the real alien.
I guess.
He definitely lives in a different world from us.
He has so much confidence since he has everything.
Hey, you have a lot of confidence, even without anything.
It's all just a bluff.
I think it's instincts.
You think?
I must've been an aristocrat in my past life,
not in this life, though.
Gosh.
Oh Jin Sang.
Let's take it easy this time.
We could all lose our jobs in a snap.
I got it.
But Park Ki Young said some questionable things to me.
You didn't break Park Ki Young's nose, did you?
I didn't. We Just talked.
You scared me.
My heart nearly dropped.
What did he say?
He said...
Detective Oh...
your brother Oh Jin Woo.
Why do you think he died?
Don't waste your energy on anger.
You should use it on logic.
Huh?
What the heck?
He says it like he knows everything about Jin Woo's death.
Right?
What if Park Ki Young is the witness who sent the video of Jin Woo's death?
If Park Ki Young is the witness,
since Bae Min Gyu was in the US on the day of the incident,
that would mean someone else killed Jin Woo.
No, no, no.
Something feels odd to rule out Park Ki Young.
[Prosecution investigations team disciplined for poorly-conducted investigation scandal]
Reporter Park.
Don't you think it's wrong to repay Director Yoo's favor this way?
You really...
think it was a favor?
What do you mean?
I mean, I have received more than enough help so far.
But the more help I get, I feel so little.
I need to stand on my two feet.
And my job is important to do that.
I think I did what I needed to do as a reporter.
About the articles regarding the hospital,
using too much of your imagination on very little information.
That's not a reporter's duty.
[Cracking down on speeding]
Hold it up.
Do we have to do stuff like this?
Then I'll hold it up, you direct.
You should also take my salary and raise my three sons too.
I also have a mom who's over 100, so you caretake her, too.
I'll tolerate someone who butts in but won't tolerate a rude bastard.
These are my rules. Stop whining and hold this.
Let's go.
What are you doing? Come on.
[Cracking down on speeding]
H-Hey, hey, hey!
What the heck! That son of-
D-Detective, D-Detective Oh!
Hey, hey. Hey!
I guess we'll never get bored with that guy around.
I wish we were.
Is he after me?
Geez.
Geez, it must almost be lunchtime.
What the heck?
Sunbaenim!
Detective Lee!
What brings you to Seoul?
I took a day off for a blind date.
I had a bit of time while I was here, so I came to see you.
Really? Glad you're here.
Let's go eat.
You're looking really good.
I put in a bit of effort.
It's cooked. Eat before it gets cold.
I thought we'd just grab some tea.
This place looks expensive. It's too much!
No need to feel bad.
Anything new at Woojin Police Station?
Woojin is always the same.
Sunbaenim.
Yeah?
We tried our best on Jin Woo's case, but...
I know. It's tough.
So I inquired about the outsiders who visited Woojin on the day Jin Woo died.
You know Mr. Park of Big Fishing, right?
Of course, I do. He dated Ae Ra from Pumpkin Cafe.
That's right. According to Mr. Park,
a famous fishing blogger came to Woojin on the day of Jin Woo's accident.
And when I checked the blog...
When you checked...
Hang on. I don't know if this'll be of any help,
among the photos the fishing blogger posted of Woojin that day,
there was an outsider who happened to be in the photo.
Really?
It's Park Ki Young.
The day Jin Woo died, Park Ki Young was in Woojin.
Prosecutor Cha.
- Yes?
- Have you ever been to Park Ki Young's house?
No, I haven't.
Why do you ask?
I heard something interesting while I was investigating him.
I've been working at this villa for 10 years now,
there haven't been any guests visiting unit 505.
They might've come when you were off.
That can't be. There's no one on the visitor list, either.
It's known as the "house with no guests" among us.
I see...
What do you think?
You're right.
No matter how picky he is, he's part of the working world.
It's a bit odd that no one's come to visit.
Come to think of it, he didn't have a housewarming party when I told him he should.
He also refused everything when my mother offered to buy things for him.
I remember my mother ended up not going to this house.
Exactly. It doesn't make any sense.
On that note,
I think we'll be able to find all sorts of crap just by opening up his PC.
Since he wouldn't have used his work computer to commit crimes.
We would have to track his PC to find any evidence.
But we can't just search houses or PCs when we don't have investigative powers.
Park Ki Young's house...
I'll search it.
Not yet.
Detective Oh, you can't do that yet.
Park Ki Young was in Woojin the day Jin Woo died.
Either that bastard killed Jin Woo,
or he witnessed Jin Woo's death. One of the two.
I will...
go to hell.
So, you think lemontree was Park Ki Young?
Who knows? Anyway, when there's a new person involved,
it's our detective duty to check it.
It feels like you're favoring this case over any other ones.
Men are blind to their own cause.
- Welcome.
- Hello.
Oh, yes.
We have a few questions.
Oh, he used to come frequently a while ago.
How far back is "a while ago"? A year?
I'm not sure...
I think so.
I remember now that I've seen his hoodie.
It is this person.
This is enough evidence to chase Park Ki Young, right?
I'm not usually like this, but-
No, you are usually very brave.
Gosh, I don't know. I feel like I'm getting gaslighted by you.
There may be a time difference in catching a criminal...
But there is no error.
Though there be a time difference...
There is no error!
Okay!
Hey, Alien!
Geez, what is it?
I just have something to ask you.
What?
Have you ever been to Park Ki Young's house?
- No, I haven't
- Why not? Aren't you guys close?
We were, but I've never been to his house.
Since we always met up at Young Woon sunbae's house.
- But why?
- Well, since you two are close,
I thought maybe you knew his door lock code.
I'm not that close to Park Ki Young.
How come you ask about Ki Young sunbae?
It's nothing. Forget it.
Bye.
Alien! You don't have siblings, do you?
You've never lost a sibling nor gone hungry, huh?
How can I help you?
What's with the sudden kindness?
Well, I guess I have a few mistakes to make up for.
And also, I really don't like the way you treat me like a have-it-all.
I'm also a prosecutor, you know. So ask me before I change my mind.
No, no, never mind. Bye.
Hey, Detective Oh!
I'm asking how I can help you.
Sunbae!
Come up here!
Come on, come up here!
You're no fun.
Stay out with Park Ki Young as late as you can.
Hey, Giant.
I really don't think this is a good idea.
What again? What?
No matter the cause or even if we're off duty, this is beyond the traffic police's authority.
I can't do this.
Overtime pay!
I'll treat you.
You really understand the world of capitalism.
Be thankful that the homicide detective in me is still alive.
Let's go.
Wow, you detectives really know how to treat someone.
You must also be great at investigations.
I've picked all these out, considering your taste.
I paid for them!
Anyway, thank you, both.
So, what about unit 505?
He seems quiet and well-mannered.
Was there any woman who came to visit?
Not at all. Forget women. Not a single person has come to visit.
We found out that he has some serious problems with women.
- Really?
- Yes.
He doesn't just have one type.
Sometimes fat women, slim women at other times.
Tall women, and then short women.
Sometimes very picky, then not at all.
Womanly men, then manly women.
Anyway, it seems very complicated.
That crazy nut.
I should've ended him right then and there.
I'm holding back because of you two.
The investigation is closed now,
so we shouldn't have to see each other ever again.
This is exactly why...
Why did you dig into a case that's been finished?
Even getting disciplined and all.
There weren't just one or two reports, Mr. Bae Min Gyu.
By chance...
do you know reporter Park Ki Young?
What is this? Are you investigating me in the name of a visit?
Park Ki Young?
Never heard of him. Why?
Just wondering since you two were in the same year at the same college.
Prosecutor Cha, Prosecutor Go, all three of us are alums,
are we close? Huh?
I guess we are.
Geez, Prosecutor Go.
I said we should grab a drink sometime.
You're getting sexier by the minute.
Hey, Bae Min Gyu. This is a warning.
Watch your mouth.
Why?
Can't I be friends with her?
Hey! You like her, don't you?
Let's go, Sunbae.
Come on.
I've never met anyone so creepy like him in my life.
I know. Don't mind him too much.
What do you think?
Do you think he really doesn't know Park Ki Young?
No, he's lying.
I also vote it's a lie.
I thought you blocked me on social media. What changed your mind?
I was really pissed off at you!
I got bullied because of you, Sunbae! Hated your guts!
I know. And I'm really sorry about that.
That's why I called you to buy drinks.
Of course, that's the least I can do.
But I brought my car today, so drinking is a bit...
I'll pay for it, though.
Am I poor or something?
Just get a driver.
There's an article I need to finish by tonight.
Whatever!
You have to party with me as if you were drinking.
I'm really close with the DJ here tonight.
We're going to party to some great music,
so let's go!
Come on!
Hurry!
Pastries are always tastier when they're shared.
Try some of this.
This one has the perfect amount of sweetness.
Sweet pastries are not in trend now.
We have very similar tastes.
Sophisticated and very tasteful.
Gosh, I'm so sorry.
Recently, I need to use the bathroom so suddenly.
I'm so sorry.
I wonder if he has diabetes at such a young age. He goes often.
I heard that a lot of young people get diabetes.
Sir, you don't have diabetes, right?
Hold on.
You can check your health in the eyes.
Wow, you'll live long. At least up to a hundred.
No way. A hundred is too old.
I need to go when's it's time.
The time is when you're a hundred.
Really?
I mean, I heard that people don't celebrate their 80th anymore.
You need to at least make it to 90 to be celebrated with a talent show.
You need to see your kid's talent show before you go.
Of course! My youngest grandson is really good at Taekwondo.
The splits is key to Taekwondo.
And the kick!
Have another one of this.
Hey, you're here.
Let's go in.
Gosh, what's that?
Do it like this.
Exactly. Just like that.
Good job!
Sunbae, I'll be right back. Bathroom break.
[Jin Sang the Ass]
Hey, Detective Oh! Not done, yet?
Hold on...
I'm a prosecutor after all.
Gosh, Sunbae. Aren't you going to dance?
I'm really tired. Let's get going.
Gosh, such a party pooper.
Sunbae, do you want to have one more drink at my place?
Hee Joo.
Yeah?
How could you make an offer I can't resist?
- Shall we?
- Sure!
Sunbae?
Is something wrong?
No, it's nothing.
- Hee Joo.
- Huh?
You look really pretty today.
All of a sudden?
Your room is as big as a playground, Prosecutor Cha.
♪ Break it all down ♪
♪ Till we get to the end ♪
♪ In the maze alone ♪
♪ I'm lost and wander around ♪
[Longing For You]
- This is my room.
- I heard it's Park Ki Young's.
Isn't this a mental disease, at this point?
What? To Hee Joo?
I have a feeling you bastards killed my brother.
I'm going to condemn you all myself.
Before I expose the video, bring me the present.
Is Park Ki Young out to play a game with Cha sunbae?
I will make sure to end this before that.
Park Ki Young, we need to find him first.
Nothing comes for free in this world.
There's always a price to too much kindness.
