AND INSTITUTIONS ARE FICTITIOUS.
VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED
AS SOME SCENES MAY BE UNPLEASANT.
Great work, everyone.
Are you all doing okay?
What should we do with Park Yang-jin?
There may be a few complications
for us to keep him under supervision.
Let's just put him in the chicken coop.
I think that'll be wise.
What's the plan?
Mr. Kim, I don't think that's right.
How will that make us different from him?
SOLAR GARD PREMIUM WINDOW FILM
That's a huge crowd.
Shit.
Aren't you going to pick up?
It keeps ringing.
So many people want to talk to you
because you're a president.
But I come first right now.
Why did you do that to me?
You two, secure the area.
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
Go up the hill.
Secure the area now.
Mr. Kim.
Are you ready?
Yes.
I'll start the countdown.
Ten.
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
-Six.
-Mommy!
Mommy, I'll come to you!
Five.
Four.
Mommy, I'm coming!
Three.
Two.
One.
Darn it!
-Are you okay?
-What was that?
Hey.
Hey!
Pull yourself together. You can't die yet.
You haven't answered my question.
Did the assholes I went after
ask you to do this for them?
To stop me from coming out?
But you can't do that.
I made a promise too!
That once I get released,
I'll make sure I find them again!
Darn it, you jerk!
Hey! Let me go!
Let me go!
Let me go, you jerk!
I told you to lock your doors.
Let me go! You jerk!
What would you have done if I hadn't come?
Bring out the property safely.
-Check his BP.
-It's 80 over 50.
-Keep the Ambu bag going.
-Yes, sir.
Forensics finished examining the scene.
-Did they get all the evidence?
-Yes, sir.
-Did you find anything special?
-No, sir.
DO NOT ENTER, UNDER INVESTIGATION
EVIDENCE 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15
EVIDENCE 4
STAFF: KIM DO-KI
I'm Kim Do-ki.
I work for Mr. Jang.
We met through Bluebird.
STAFF: KIM DO-KI
There are many of them,
so schedule their summons
as tightly as possible.
I decided to detain everyone
from the Strategic Planning Team,
so get a travel ban by today.
You should get some more rest.
You should be one to talk.
I may look like this,
but I'm almost fully recovered.
People who used to wrestle
tend to get better very quickly.
Mr. Cho said you should get some rest
since he already finished
with the scene inspection.
I've rested enough.
My gosh, you didn't.
You should get some more rest.
Goodness.
Last night, a mysterious explosion
and fire broke out
-at the Udata Training Center in Gimpo.
-What should we do with Park?
There may be a few complications
for us to keep him under supervision.
Let's just keep him in the chicken coop.
I think that'll be wise.
The police and the fire department
are trying to identify the cause
of the explosion and the victims.
A police source disclosed
that an unidentified dead body
was found inside the building
that had exploded.
In the fire,
a villa owned by Chairman Park Yang-jin
was also burnt down.
-This building was also Udata's server.
-Mr. Jang is up.
He's up.
Mr. Jang, are you all right?
Your surgery went well,
so why did you sleep for so long?
You had me worried.
We went to your place, and it was a mess.
Who did this to you?
Where's Do-ki?
He stepped out for a second.
We will report back
when we have an update on the victims.
Next story.
-Goddamn it!
-Let go!
Right.
Okay, bye.
The transplant went well.
It should.
We went through so much trouble.
Just imagining him
looking at me with those eyes…
Damn… It already creeps me out.
What's going on?
It looks like something happened.
Hey, you. Let me see your face.
I was wondering where your employees
learned to throw a punch
before saying anything.
Get up in three seconds.
That seat isn't for you.
Three seconds passed a while ago.
-You little…
-That's enough.
Go help the boys.
It feels to be sitting
in this seat.
Thank you for your call.
Thanks to you, his operation went well.
And this way of showing your gratitude
is also new.
Who did that
to Mr. Jang?
You should ask him, not me.
But then…
I'm sure there are quite a few people
who want him dead.
I didn't come for an answer like that.
Who did it?
Cho Do-chul?
Or was it another prisoner?
Yes, I remember.
I fell for those eyes.
A beast needs eyes like these.
Just answer my question.
Was it Cho Do-chul?
What will you do if I tell you?
But kid,
this is as far as I'll let it slide.
If you ever lay a hand on my boys
or my things again, you can say goodbye
to those hands.
Not you.
Everyone at the taxi company
who's involved with you.
Don't you believe me?
Then go ahead and try.
Where's Cho Do-chul?
PRESIDENT JANG SUNG-CHUL
I'll never forgive them.
Do you want to get revenge with me?
What's your plan?
I won't succumb to evil
and use my own methods to win.
I'll collect all the garbage around us
and quarantine them
from the rest of the world forever.
I'm going to reform them.
Regardless,
I don't want to turn this into an issue.
She indeed helped me.
That's why I chose not to tell anyone else
about this.
Even though you almost died in his hands?
But I didn't.
Was it Cho Do-chul?
I think it's time to reconsider
the method you mentioned before.
I understand what you mean
by everything you said.
Every choice we make
comes with a sacrifice.
I'm just paying the price.
Let's keep this just between us.
Okay?
Right, I need you
to give me a hand with something.
I can take care of everything else
once I get discharged,
but the things I marked with a star
can't be delayed.
Can you get them done by this week?
-Are you leaving because of me?
-No.
I was on my way out.
I'll leave you two to it.
All right.
Please take care of that.
How are you feeling?
I told you to not get me anything.
Why did you get that?
These? No.
I got it for myself.
-I wanted some fruit.
-Sure.
That tastes wonderful.
I got a good one.
Goodness, eat up.
Finish everything.
The police are looking for the robber,
-but they haven't found anything.
-I see.
Nothing is missing anyway.
Don't worry about it.
Give it a good thought.
Are you sure you didn't see
the guy who did this to you?
No.
I was out of my mind.
Hey, no matter how shocking it was,
how could you not see who stabbed you?
Have you ever been stabbed?
It makes you lose your mind.
Hey. Do you want to see
how many scars I have?
Goodness, be quiet.
The guy who just left is Kim Do-ki, right?
Yes.
You've met him.
I did.
When did he quit the taxi company?
-What?
-Right.
He got a job here.
STAFF: KIM DO-KI
Right.
He wanted to start another career,
so he quit the taxi company.
But he came back shortly after
saying it wasn't for him.
-I see.
-Yes.
Why did you ask?
Sung-chul.
If anything happens to you, let me know.
I don't think
anything special will happen to me.
We've known each other since high school,
so it has been over 30 years.
Don't debate it on your own
and talk to me.
No matter what it is.
I came to tell you that.
What are you talking about?
GO-EUN'S DIARY
MY SISTER, AN JUNG-EUN
Wait. Hold on.
Mirae Bank.
Five, eight, zero… Slowly, please.
I see.
Okay.
So I just need to send money
to this account, right, Prosecutor?
"Prosecutor?"
Once the case starts,
all of your accounts used by
the bank frauds to launder money
-will be temporarily suspended.
-Okay.
The suspended accounts
will not only prove that
you're unrelated to their crimes,
it will also be used as evidence
to arrest the bank frauds.
Yes, I understand.
Until the case is over,
you are not allowed to tell anybody else.
Of course, Prosecutor.
Then stay on the phone
as you deposit your entire balance
into the state bank account I mentioned.
Yes. Okay. Hold on.
Go-eun, can you settle the invoice
for Mission Oil?
Okay.
Look.
Why are you still on the phone?
Aren't you going to work?
Quiet.
Yes, I transferred everything just now.
It wasn't an inconvenience.
It's an honor to be a part
of your investigation
as a civilian.
Yes, I feel so proud.
You have my support, sir.
Goodbye, Prosecutor.
"Goodbye, Prosecutor?"
We must change all the oil
in the odd-numbered cars today.
Thanks to my quick cooperation,
he's about to round up a group of frauds.
Goodness, those bank frauds.
How dare you mess with my accounts?
You cute, little jerks.
-What are you talking about?
-Let me see.
Once they round up the culprits,
they would be calling to give me
the Courageous Citizen Award.
Gosh, I'm already getting embarrassed.
Go-eun, can you interpret?
What's he saying?
Don't mind him.
Okay. Shall we give our diligent taxis
some new engine oil as a reward?
Let's go.
BLUEBIRD VICTIM SUPPORT CENTER
KIM GIL-JONG
This is an air-purifying plant
called the bird of paradise.
It comes from South Africa,
an awfully hot country,
but it's known to stay strong
in cold weather.
Isn't that hilarious?
What happened to him?
He's undergoing treatment.
But I'm not sure if he'll die or live.
He had bad blood with my boys too.
Should I just kill him?
Just say the word.
I'll get their revenge on your behalf.
Stop that nonsense.
Gosh, you're so boring.
Don't touch a hair on his body.
Do you get it?
You'd be dead by now if it weren't for me.
At the very least,
don't you think you owe me a thank you?
I'll consider this the day one
of becoming your lifesaver.
I thought he'd get furious.
He became docile
after his near-death experience.
We can expand our business without worry.
I'll prepare the list of the VIPs.
NORTHERN DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
NORTHERN DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
Let me begin the briefing.
Udata, a cloud storage service company,
created illegal videos of sex crimes.
UDATA CARTEL
Then the Strategic Planning Team
heavy uploaders
distributed the videos.
Simultaneously,
they made a digital undertaker business
with which they extorted money
from their victims to delete the videos
they uploaded.
Hello.
-Mr. Lee. You…
-They made money uploading illegal videos,
then made more money
by deleting those videos?
They would stop uploading the video
during the period the victim paid for.
Then they re-uploaded the video
once that period ended
to maximize their business profit.
The victims
probably couldn't escape
this evil cartel
until they lost everything they had.
Thus, the Prosecution
is conducting its investigation
with the ledgers,
testimonies, and statements we obtained.
We have arrested and charged
the entire Strategic Planning Team.
Chairman Park Yang-jin,
who ordered all of these crimes,
will be indicted for creating
illicit videos, blackmail, assault,
violating the Animal Protection Law
and the Gun Control Act,
as well as murder instigation.
I heard that the former chief DA
was being indicted as well.
Udata's legal counsel was also indicted
for violating the Attorney-at-Law Act.
I heard there was an explosion.
What caused it?
We're still investigating,
so I can't disclose the details.
I heard you played
a big part in resolving this case.
A big part?
The main offenders, Chairman Park Yang-jin
and the three key executives, are missing.
They're on the run.
I'm sorry,
but the case hasn't been resolved.
Based on its scale,
it seems like a wholesale arrest.
Could you share a difficulty
you faced during the investigation?
That will be all for the briefing.
Thank you.
-Prosecutor Kang!
-One more question!
Prosecutor Kang!
Congratulations.
The reporters are all praising your work.
Do you really think
that we did a good job?
Is it because we didn't get Park Yang-jin?
It isn't the first time the leader
disappeared after they got busted.
By the time I got to the scene,
someone had already ended that case.
They also blew up the entire building
to destroy evidence.
Someone keeps stealing the culprits
we should have arrested.
They're slapping us around like this,
but we have no idea who or what it is.
So why should we be praised?
When others compliment you,
just take it at face value.
Hello, sir.
I made you go there
to get some compliments,
but you ruined the occasion yourself.
How are you feeling?
I'm all right.
I know there was an explosion,
but we also found bone remains
and bloodstain at the scene.
This isn't a simple case.
Take charge and put an end to it.
Yes, sir.
Come here.
I found this on the scene.
I took it to check something.
STAFF: KIM DO-KI
You found this at the scene?
At Park Yang-jin's villa?
Let me know if you need a team.
I'll make one for you.
Excuse me.
Do you have House of a Tree, Volume 12?
Do you want to look on the other side?
HOUSE OF A TREE, VOLUME 12
House of a Tree, Volume 12?
Grandma!
What is it? Why?
I got House of a Tree, Volume 12!
Goodness, you're right.
Who's it from? Who brought it?
Well, I have no idea.
Goodness.
I don't know who gave it to you,
but they sure are nice.
They're generous too. Goodness.
-Let's get back in.
-Okay.
BLUEBIRD VICTIM SUPPORT CENTER
KILLER PARK GYU-CHUL'S VICTIM, GIL YE-SEUL
Isn't it exciting?
How exciting. Let's go inside.
GET VOLUME 12 OF HOUSE OF A TREE
Prosecutor Kang, are you getting coffee?
What? Yes.
Let me get one for you.
Wait.
There's one in here.
You must've forgotten to take it out.
I did. I'm sorry.
Let me get you another one.
One second.
I see you have something on your mind,
but is it about work or your private life?
Want me to say something
that's unlike a prosecutor?
Upon Cho Do-chul's release,
he went missing on a deluxe taxi.
And it seems like that deluxe taxi
can be transformed into a regular car.
It also shoves police cars out of its way.
Then Park Yang-jin
and three of his key staff went missing.
It showed up there too?
I have a feeling
that one person is behind all this.
I think I know who that is.
Then you should just arrest them.
But I don't have hard evidence.
You don't have hard evidence?
Exactly.
That's why I said
I wouldn't sound like a prosecutor.
Then who is this person you know?
Thanks for the coffee.
Is something on your mind?
On my mind?
You look troubled.
Because of my muscle loss.
Who worries about that and drinks juice?
-This is a protein drink.
-Goodness.
Who drinks that?
It's better than juice.
Anyway, what brings you here?
I figured you'd be here like this.
You have a lot on your mind right now.
You know what happened
to Park Yang-jin wasn't your fault, right?
You tried to keep him alive.
I know you did.
I'm sure I'll find the evidence
once I catch the deluxe taxi.
Prosecutor Kang.
Aren't you going to go home?
You should leave first.
You should go home early tonight.
You look very tired.
Do I not look good?
My wrinkles increase faster
than my performance.
What's she doing?
I'll look awful if I don't do something.
No way, you're in great shape.
Your skin's glowing.
The price I pay
for bringing justice are wrinkles?
What a sad reality.
That pisses me off.
I'm leaving.
Let's go.
You have a great view here.
What do you want?
Goodness, you're driving a taxi again?
When you show up unannounced,
isn't it common courtesy to say why?
Did you quit that company?
Yes.
The people there were all on power trips.
I see.
So you quit.
Did you see the news on Udata?
No.
Do I have to?
Chairman Park and some of the staff
got involved in an awful crime.
That's why everyone in
the Strategic Planning Team was detained.
You were a part of that team too.
So?
Are you here to arrest me?
No.
That's not the reason.
You haven't worked there for long,
and you even sent in a tip.
I should take that into account.
It'd be weird to summon you
or ignore you completely,
so I came by.
I'd like to go in and ask a few questions.
If not, you must come in for questioning.
Wouldn't that be inconvenient?
Excuse me.
May I take a look around?
It's very clean for a single guy's home.
Where's my coffee?
It's very good.
Ask your questions,
and let's go back to what we need to do.
Sure.
When did you quit?
Not exactly sure. Maybe a week ago?
A week ago…
Why did you go to Park Yang-jin's villa?
Where's that?
STAFF: KIM DO-KI
Do you remember where you lost it?
As of this moment,
you're no longer part of the Udata family.
I didn't drop it. I threw it out
because I quit.
You went a long way to throw it out.
Do you remember where you threw away
every piece of garbage?
If you're done asking questions,
you can leave.
All right.
The owner's kicking me out,
so I should go.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Can I ask a small question?
Do you drive your taxi to and from work?
Are you allowed to treat it
like your own car?
My boss permitted me to use it.
And a taxi is a car too.
So you don't have your own car,
and you just drive that taxi?
Why are you curious about that?
I'm just jealous.
You have to pay so much tax to own a car,
but your company gave you one.
Are you sure it's your only car?
Yes.
No way.
I won't see you out.
I don't expect you to either. Goodbye.
Yes, ma'am.
-Can you look up someone's phone records?
-Phone records?
From the day of Cho Do-chul's release
to today.
I need call records and locations.
Who am I looking up?
STAFF: KIM DO-KI
Kim Do-ki.
Okay, got it.
One car, my ass.
DONGDAEMUN POLICE STATION
Wait for me!
Those damned frauds!
I worked so hard to save that money!
I knew something was off
when you mentioned the award.
I mean, who'd send five million won
after just one phone call?
Shut up!
-You're an accomplice.
-What? What are you talking about?
You should've stopped me sooner!
What did you do while I was being scammed?
You gave me so much work to do.
How was I supposed to know
that you were being scammed?
You, of all people, should've known!
You're just like them.
I'm speechless.
INTELLECTUAL CRIME UNIT
You really can't get it back for me?
I sent it to this account yesterday.
Ma'am, as I've explained to you,
if they already withdrew the money,
it'll be hard to get it back.
-My gosh.
-I was working,
and they said my kid was
in the hospital due to a serious injury.
They said I needed to send money
for treatment right away, so I did.
-They knew my kid's name…
-Enough.
You really can't catch them?
What about our deposit?
I told you that catching them
doesn't mean you'll get your money back.
Please wait your turn.
Gosh, my one million won…
I saved for a whole year
to help my granddaughter with her tuition.
You foolish woman.
What the hell were you thinking?
How could you blow our deposit
because of a phone call?
I really thought it was our son-in-law!
-Gosh, I should've called him to confirm.
-Excuse me.
-I'm crazy.
-I was told to come in.
-Did you report a voice phishing case?
-Yes, of course.
I called it in.
Put your name down on the list,
and someone will be with you.
-A list
-This way.
Just this once. Please.
Excuse me.
I want my money back!
This is…
157, PARK JIN-HYUNG
-Why can't you find him?
-You're number 158.
So they're all…
Please save me!
You really need to help us!
CHOI KYUNG-GU
Didn't we see her at the police station?
Gosh, how long would it take
to save a million won
from collecting cardboard?
Ma'am!
Have you lost your mind?
Ma'am, are you all right?
I don't deserve to live.
Gosh, my precious million won.
My gosh…
I'll take her home. You should go first.
What are you going to do?
What do you mean?
Go on.
Ma'am, can you get up?
Gosh…
Oh, my.
Gosh.
Please help me get my money back.
This film just came in.
It's almost bulletproof.
Cool, right?
Don't you feel safe looking at it?
I can't tell just by looking at it.
Then should I demonstrate?
There, look!
What do you think? You see?
People would think you invented it.
DELUXE TAXI
You weren't there to see it.
Do you know how many people
have tragic stories to tell.
Voice phishing is the most tragic.
We got over 30 calls this morning alone.
Did you give out the number?
Why would I do such a thing?
I'm not that thoughtless.
WHITE COLLAR CRIME VICTIM WAITING LIST
IT'LL BE OKAY WITH ONE CALL
Hey, aren't we leaving? Get in.
WE'LL FIND YOU YOUR LOST MONEY
DON'T DIE, GET REVENGE
You sure are.
You got scammed all on your own
-and even solicited cases all on your own.
-My point exactly.
I won't deny it.
But that's not all.
-Were you scammed out of more money?
-Does Mr. Jang know?
I was just on my way to tell him
-what you've been up to.
-What?
I'll tell him everything too.
In the past three years alone,
there were 192,752 voice phishing cases
in Korea.
The financial loss
was a total of 1.3591 trillion won.
My gosh.
In 2019, there were 200 cases a day.
In 2019 alone,
there was a loss of 672 billion won.
I get that,
but why did you give out flyers
when you went to report it?
I wouldn't have if they'd said
they'd get me my money back.
CALL DELUXE TAXI
But they said I can't get it back.
I went with him and heard what they said.
Apparently, the likelihood of a victim
getting his money back
is 1 out of 10,000.
It's 1 out of 10,000.
Which means, it's practically impossible.
This is so unfair.
-It doesn't make sense.
-Why not?
Exactly.
You little…
It's because you didn't get that call.
What do you think, Do-ki?
-Not sure.
-What do you mean?
You should be clear.
Yes, be clear.
Let's do it.
I'm for it.
Mr. Jang.
Listen.
There have been countless victims,
but voice phishing victims
never request help
from Bluebird.
It's very odd. With other types of crimes,
people often comfort
and support the victims.
But with voice phishing,
they scold the victims instead.
What did they do wrong?
You foolish woman.
What the hell were you thinking?
How could you blow our deposit
because of a phone call?
I mean, who'd send five million won
after just one phone call?
You got scammed all on your own.
Were you scammed out of more money?
Well, I wasn't really trying to scold him.
Ordinary people who are most detached
from the law.
And good people who'd never break the law.
Ironically, such people
are the targets of voice phishing.
If a prosecutor suddenly calls you
and recites laws that you don't even know,
it's only natural to feel intimidated.
It doesn't matter whether the person
is a real prosecutor or not.
You'd care more about proving
your innocence.
I think we should take this on.
I agree with Mr. Jang.
Me too.
But don't distribute flyers again.
Okay, I won't.
To be honest,
I was on board from the get-go.
Don't lie.
You picked on me the most.
-But thanks anyway.
-Gosh!
-Seriously?
-All right, guys.
Do-ki, I want you to be in charge.
Given my condition…
-I'm sorry.
-Don't worry.
I'll call you if anything happens.
All right.
Let's get moving, then.
Yes, sir.
Something's wrong with this.
What's wrong?
You see messages coming through
all day long.
Oh, Kim Do-ki drives a taxi.
He probably left the taxi app open.
Still, it's odd.
Who drives a taxi all day and night?
That's true.
It means he didn't sleep at all.
But why are you investigating this anyway?
I'll explain it in detail later
when I can sound like a prosecutor.
Yes, ma'am.
What are these blanks?
It means there was no signal.
No signal?
There's no record at all
because it didn't connect to any towers.
It means his phone was turned off.
So all these blanks mean
he didn't have reception.
DETAILED PHONE RECORDS
Oh, no.
Then what should I do, Mr. Prosecutor?
Before the Financial Supervisory Service
and we, at the prosecution,
begin our investigation,
the funds in your account should be
transferred to where we designate.
Okay, I'll do that.
Should I do it right now?
Yes, I put it where you told me to.
We'll begin investigating your account.
It'll take about two days.
We'll deposit it
back into your account after.
-Do you understand?
-Yes, sir.
You can head home now
and wait for our call.
Thank you.
SEMO STORAGE
-Thank you.
-No problem.
Why aren't you grabbing him?
What if he runs away while you wait?
I hear voice phishing rings are good
at cutting off their tails.
Then we'll just strike them on the head.
DELUXE TAXI
Don't leave the onions on the floor.
-Pick up the onions.
-Yes, sir.
This is brand new.
Thank you.
This is insane.
Do you expect me to believe that?
Say that again.
Where's my money?
After picking it up,
I forgot about it
and left it in the bathroom.
I went straight back,
but it was already gone.
Did you get greedy?
No. That's really not it, ma'am.
I really forgot it in the bathroom.
Are you willing to give up your life
for that chump change?
Find this punk
and bring me his head!
This is driving me crazy.
He's a complete lunatic.
Did you get the location?
Yes, of course.
I did everything you asked.
Please spare me.
If I stay here, I'll really die.
-Shut it.
-You promised.
-Shut up, you punk. Get up!
-Let me go.
Please, let me go.
It's near the ocean.
What's the plan this time?
SON OF THE WIND
Mr. Park.
Can you hit me?
-What?
-No.
You should hit me five times.
No, I don't want to. I won't do it.
Let's just make it ten.
Don't go easy on me. Beat me up.
I don't want to.
What will you make me do this time?
Gosh, what is this?
How would you like it cut?
Something that can make him look
ten years younger.
Is that doable?
Yes. I'll start with
our vitamin treatment.
The scalp needs to be healthy
for the style to come out nicely.
Take good care of him.

He's only 20 years old now.
He's younger than me.

Me?
I'm 20.
-Maybe your baby brother is 20.
-Well…
I was born in 2002.
I just got chills.
I guess some bad stuff happened in 2002.
I like that smile. Keep smiling.

I'm Inspector Lee Seung-hoon
from the Intellectual Crime Unit
at Dongdaemun Police Station.
You have a savings account, don't you?
Yes, I do.
It's for my grandchild's tuition fees.
I save a little every month.
Right, that account
was being used for financial fraud.
Pardon me?
What… Come again?
Gosh, what do I do?
This is for my grandchild's tuition fees.
Take your bank card
and go to the nearest branch.
A Financial Supervisory Service agent
will call you.
Okay, I'm leaving now.
What's your account balance now?
I have 1.02 million won.
I see.
Then hit "Transfer"
and send it to the safe account owned
by the Financial Supervisory Service.
Okay, I just sent it.
I'll contact you
once the investigation is completed.
Okay.
My gosh. Thank you so much.
Had you not called me,
this would've been a disaster. Yes.
Thank you again.
Only 1.02 million won? That's it.
Goodness. We're off
to a slow start today.
Don't half-ass your job.
Yes, our agent will call you.

-I'm Prosecutor Kim Min-soo.
-I got the account number.
Right. It's all over now.
-What's over now?
-Oh, my!

Great work, everyone.
Are you all doing okay?
What should we do with Park Yang-jin?
There may be a few complications
for us to keep him under supervision.
Let's just put him in the chicken coop.
I think that'll be wise.
What's the plan?
Mr. Kim, I don't think that's right.
How will that make us different from him?

That's a huge crowd.
Shit.
Aren't you going to pick up?

So many people want to talk to you

But I come first right now.
Why did you do that to me?
You two, secure the area.
-Yes, sir.

Hey!
Pull yourself together. You can't die yet.
You haven't answered my question.
Did the assholes I went after
ask you to do this for them?
To stop me from coming out?
But you can't do that.
I made a promise too!
That once I get released,
I'll make sure I find them again!
Darn it, you jerk!
Hey! Let me go!
Let me go!
Let me go, you jerk!
I told you to lock your doors.
Let me go! You jerk!
What would you have done if I hadn't come?
Bring out the property safely.

I'm Kim Do-ki.
I work for Mr. Jang.
We met through Bluebird.
STAFF: KIM DO-KI
There are many of them,
so schedule their summons
as tightly as possible.
I decided to detain everyone
from the Strategic Planning Team,
so get a travel ban by today.
You should get some more rest.
You should be one to talk.
I may look like this,
but I'm almost fully recovered.
People who used to wrestle
tend to get better very quickly.
Mr. Cho said you should get some rest
since he already finished
with the scene inspection.
I've rested enough.
My gosh, you didn't.
You should get some more rest.
Goodness.
Last night, a mysterious explosion
and fire broke out
-at the Udata Training Center in Gimpo.
-What should we do with Park?
There may be a few complications
for us to keep him under supervision.
Let's just keep him in the chicken coop.
I think that'll be wise.
The police and the fire department
are trying to identify the cause
of the explosion and the victims.
A police source disclosed
that an unidentified dead body
was found inside the building
that had exploded.
In the fire,
a villa owned by Chairman Park Yang-jin
was also burnt down.
-This building was also Udata's server.
-Mr. Jang is up.
He's up.
Mr. Jang, are you all right?
Your surgery went well,
so why did you sleep for so long?
You had me worried.
We went to your place, and it was a mess.
Who did this to you?
Where's Do-ki?
He stepped out for a second.
We will report back
when we have an update on the victims.
Next story.
-Goddamn it!
-Let go!
Right.
Okay, bye.
The transplant went well.
It should.
We went through so much trouble.
Just imagining him
looking at me with those eyes…
Damn… It already creeps me out.
What's going on?
It looks like something happened.
Hey, you. Let me see your face.
I was wondering where your employees
learned to throw a punch
before saying anything.
Get up in three seconds.
That seat isn't for you.
Three seconds passed a while ago.
-You little…
-That's enough.
Go help the boys.
It feels to be sitting
in this seat.
Thank you for your call.
Thanks to you, his operation went well.
And this way of showing your gratitude
is also new.
Who did that
to Mr. Jang?
You should ask him, not me.
But then…
I'm sure there are quite a few people
who want him dead.
I didn't come for an answer like that.
Who did it?
Cho Do-chul?
Or was it another prisoner?
Yes, I remember.
I fell for those eyes.
A beast needs eyes like these.
Just answer my question.
Was it Cho Do-chul?
What will you do if I tell you?
But kid,
this is as far as I'll let it slide.
If you ever lay a hand on my boys
or my things again, you can say goodbye
to those hands.
Not you.
Everyone at the taxi company
who's involved with you.
Don't you believe me?
Then go ahead and try.
Where's Cho Do-chul?
PRESIDENT JANG SUNG-CHUL
I'll never forgive them.
Do you want to get revenge with me?
What's your plan?
I won't succumb to evil
and use my own methods to win.
I'll collect all the garbage around us
and quarantine them
from the rest of the world forever.
I'm going to reform them.
Regardless,
I don't want to turn this into an issue.
She indeed helped me.
That's why I chose not to tell anyone else
about this.
Even though you almost died in his hands?
But I didn't.
Was it Cho Do-chul?
I think it's time to reconsider
the method you mentioned before.
I understand what you mean
by everything you said.
Every choice we make
comes with a sacrifice.
I'm just paying the price.
Let's keep this just between us.
Okay?
Right, I need you
to give me a hand with something.
I can take care of everything else
once I get discharged,
but the things I marked with a star
can't be delayed.
Can you get them done by this week?
-Are you leaving because of me?
-No.
I was on my way out.
I'll leave you two to it.
All right.
Please take care of that.
How are you feeling?
I told you to not get me anything.
Why did you get that?
These? No.
I got it for myself.
-I wanted some fruit.
-Sure.
That tastes wonderful.
I got a good one.
Goodness, eat up.
Finish everything.
The police are looking for the robber,
-but they haven't found anything.
-I see.
Nothing is missing anyway.
Don't worry about it.
Give it a good thought.
Are you sure you didn't see
the guy who did this to you?
No.
I was out of my mind.
Hey, no matter how shocking it was,
how could you not see who stabbed you?
Have you ever been stabbed?
It makes you lose your mind.
Hey. Do you want to see
how many scars I have?
Goodness, be quiet.
The guy who just left is Kim Do-ki, right?
Yes.
You've met him.
I did.
When did he quit the taxi company?
-What?
-Right.
He got a job here.
STAFF: KIM DO-KI
Right.
He wanted to start another career,
so he quit the taxi company.
But he came back shortly after
saying it wasn't for him.
-I see.
-Yes.
Why did you ask?
Sung-chul.
If anything happens to you, let me know.
I don't think
anything special will happen to me.
We've known each other since high school,
so it has been over 30 years.
Don't debate it on your own
and talk to me.
No matter what it is.
I came to tell you that.
What are you talking about?
GO-EUN'S DIARY
MY SISTER, AN JUNG-EUN
Wait. Hold on.
Mirae Bank.
Five, eight, zero… Slowly, please.
I see.
Okay.
So I just need to send money
to this account, right, Prosecutor?
"Prosecutor?"
Once the case starts,
all of your accounts used by
the bank frauds to launder money
-will be temporarily suspended.
-Okay.
The suspended accounts
will not only prove that
you're unrelated to their crimes,
it will also be used as evidence
to arrest the bank frauds.
Yes, I understand.
Until the case is over,
you are not allowed to tell anybody else.
Of course, Prosecutor.
Then stay on the phone
as you deposit your entire balance
into the state bank account I mentioned.
Yes. Okay. Hold on.
Go-eun, can you settle the invoice
for Mission Oil?
Okay.
Look.
Why are you still on the phone?
Aren't you going to work?
Quiet.
Yes, I transferred everything just now.
It wasn't an inconvenience.
It's an honor to be a part
of your investigation
as a civilian.
Yes, I feel so proud.
You have my support, sir.
Goodbye, Prosecutor.
"Goodbye, Prosecutor?"
We must change all the oil
in the odd-numbered cars today.
Thanks to my quick cooperation,
he's about to round up a group of frauds.
Goodness, those bank frauds.
How dare you mess with my accounts?
You cute, little jerks.
-What are you talking about?
-Let me see.
Once they round up the culprits,
they would be calling to give me
the Courageous Citizen Award.
Gosh, I'm already getting embarrassed.
Go-eun, can you interpret?
What's he saying?
Don't mind him.
Okay. Shall we give our diligent taxis
some new engine oil as a reward?
Let's go.

but it's known to stay strong

Isn't that hilarious?
What happened to him?
He's undergoing treatment.
But I'm not sure if he'll die or live.
He had bad blood with my boys too.
Should I just kill him?
Just say the word.
I'll get their revenge on your behalf.
Stop that nonsense.
Gosh, you're so boring.
Don't touch a hair on his body.
Do you get it?
You'd be dead by now if it weren't for me.
At the very least,
don't you think you owe me a thank you?
I'll consider this the day one
of becoming your lifesaver.
I thought he'd get furious.
He became docile
after his near-death experience.
We can expand our business without worry.
I'll prepare the list of the VIPs.
NORTHERN DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
NORTHERN DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
Let me begin the briefing.
Udata, a cloud storage service company,
created illegal videos of sex crimes.
UDATA CARTEL
Then the Strategic Planning Team
heavy uploaders
distributed the videos.
Simultaneously,
they made a digital undertaker business
with which they extorted money
from their victims to delete the videos
they uploaded.
Hello.
-Mr. Lee. You…
-They made money uploading illegal videos,
then made more money
by deleting those videos?
They would stop uploading the video
during the period the victim paid for.
Then they re-uploaded the video
once that period ended
to maximize their business profit.
The victims
probably couldn't escape
this evil cartel
until they lost everything they had.
Thus, the Prosecution
is conducting its investigation
with the ledgers,
testimonies, and statements we obtained.
We have arrested and charged
the entire Strategic Planning Team.
Chairman Park Yang-jin,
who ordered all of these crimes,
will be indicted for creating
illicit videos, blackmail, assault,
violating the Animal Protection Law
and the Gun Control Act,
as well as murder instigation.
I heard that the former chief DA
was being indicted as well.
Udata's legal counsel was also indicted
for violating the Attorney-at-Law Act.
I heard there was an explosion.
What caused it?
We're still investigating,
so I can't disclose the details.
I heard you played
a big part in resolving this case.
A big part?
The main offenders, Chairman Park Yang-jin
and the three key executives, are missing.
They're on the run.
I'm sorry,
but the case hasn't been resolved.
Based on its scale,
it seems like a wholesale arrest.
Could you share a difficulty
you faced during the investigation?
That will be all for the briefing.
Thank you.
-Prosecutor Kang!
-One more question!
Prosecutor Kang!
Congratulations.
The reporters are all praising your work.
Do you really think
that we did a good job?
Is it because we didn't get Park Yang-jin?
It isn't the first time the leader
disappeared after they got busted.
By the time I got to the scene,
someone had already ended that case.
They also blew up the entire building
to destroy evidence.
Someone keeps stealing the culprits
we should have arrested.
They're slapping us around like this,
but we have no idea who or what it is.
So why should we be praised?
When others compliment you,
just take it at face value.
Hello, sir.
I made you go there
to get some compliments,
but you ruined the occasion yourself.
How are you feeling?
I'm all right.
I know there was an explosion,
but we also found bone remains
and bloodstain at the scene.
This isn't a simple case.
Take charge and put an end to it.
Yes, sir.
Come here.
I found this on the scene.
I took it to check something.
STAFF: KIM DO-KI
You found this at the scene?
At Park Yang-jin's villa?
Let me know if you need a team.
I'll make one for you.
Excuse me.
Do you have House of a Tree, Volume 12?
Do you want to look on the other side?
HOUSE OF A TREE, VOLUME 12
House of a Tree, Volume 12?
Grandma!
What is it? Why?
I got House of a Tree, Volume 12!
Goodness, you're right.
Who's it from? Who brought it?
Well, I have no idea.
Goodness.
I don't know who gave it to you,
but they sure are nice.
They're generous too. Goodness.
-Let's get back in.
-Okay.

GET VOLUME 12 OF HOUSE OF A TREE
Prosecutor Kang, are you getting coffee?
What? Yes.
Let me get one for you.
Wait.
There's one in here.
You must've forgotten to take it out.
I did. I'm sorry.
Let me get you another one.
One second.
I see you have something on your mind,
but is it about work or your private life?
Want me to say something
that's unlike a prosecutor?
Upon Cho Do-chul's release,
he went missing on a deluxe taxi.
And it seems like that deluxe taxi
can be transformed into a regular car.
It also shoves police cars out of its way.
Then Park Yang-jin
and three of his key staff went missing.
It showed up there too?
I have a feeling
that one person is behind all this.
I think I know who that is.
Then you should just arrest them.
But I don't have hard evidence.
You don't have hard evidence?
Exactly.
That's why I said
I wouldn't sound like a prosecutor.
Then who is this person you know?
Thanks for the coffee.
Is something on your mind?
On my mind?
You look troubled.
Because of my muscle loss.
Who worries about that and drinks juice?
-This is a protein drink.
-Goodness.
Who drinks that?
It's better than juice.
Anyway, what brings you here?
I figured you'd be here like this.
You have a lot on your mind right now.
You know what happened
to Park Yang-jin wasn't your fault, right?
You tried to keep him alive.
I know you did.
I'm sure I'll find the evidence
once I catch the deluxe taxi.
Prosecutor Kang.
Aren't you going to go home?
You should leave first.
You should go home early tonight.
You look very tired.
Do I not look good?
My wrinkles increase faster
than my performance.
What's she doing?
I'll look awful if I don't do something.
No way, you're in great shape.
Your skin's glowing.
The price I pay
for bringing justice are wrinkles?
What a sad reality.
That pisses me off.
I'm leaving.
Let's go.
You have a great view here.
What do you want?
Goodness, you're driving a taxi again?
When you show up unannounced,
isn't it common courtesy to say why?
Did you quit that company?
Yes.
The people there were all on power trips.
I see.
So you quit.
Did you see the news on Udata?
No.
Do I have to?
Chairman Park and some of the staff
got involved in an awful crime.
That's why everyone in
the Strategic Planning Team was detained.
You were a part of that team too.
So?
Are you here to arrest me?
No.
That's not the reason.
You haven't worked there for long,
and you even sent in a tip.
I should take that into account.
It'd be weird to summon you
or ignore you completely,
so I came by.
I'd like to go in and ask a few questions.
If not, you must come in for questioning.
Wouldn't that be inconvenient?
Excuse me.
May I take a look around?
It's very clean for a single guy's home.
Where's my coffee?
It's very good.
Ask your questions,
and let's go back to what we need to do.
Sure.
When did you quit?
Not exactly sure. Maybe a week ago?
A week ago…
Why did you go to Park Yang-jin's villa?
Where's that?
STAFF: KIM DO-KI
Do you remember where you lost it?
As of this moment,
you're no longer part of the Udata family.
I didn't drop it. I threw it out
because I quit.
You went a long way to throw it out.
Do you remember where you threw away
every piece of garbage?
If you're done asking questions,
you can leave.
All right.
The owner's kicking me out,
so I should go.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Can I ask a small question?
Do you drive your taxi to and from work?
Are you allowed to treat it
like your own car?
My boss permitted me to use it.
And a taxi is a car too.
So you don't have your own car,
and you just drive that taxi?
Why are you curious about that?
I'm just jealous.
You have to pay so much tax to own a car,
but your company gave you one.
Are you sure it's your only car?
Yes.
No way.
I won't see you out.
I don't expect you to either. Goodbye.
Yes, ma'am.
-Can you look up someone's phone records?
-Phone records?
From the day of Cho Do-chul's release
to today.
I need call records and locations.
Who am I looking up?
STAFF: KIM DO-KI
Kim Do-ki.
Okay, got it.
One car, my ass.
DONGDAEMUN POLICE STATION
Wait for me!
Those damned frauds!
I worked so hard to save that money!
I knew something was off
when you mentioned the award.
I mean, who'd send five million won
after just one phone call?
Shut up!
-You're an accomplice.
-What? What are you talking about?
You should've stopped me sooner!
What did you do while I was being scammed?
You gave me so much work to do.
How was I supposed to know
that you were being scammed?
You, of all people, should've known!
You're just like them.
I'm speechless.
INTELLECTUAL CRIME UNIT
You really can't get it back for me?
I sent it to this account yesterday.
Ma'am, as I've explained to you,
if they already withdrew the money,
it'll be hard to get it back.
-My gosh.
-I was working,
and they said my kid was
in the hospital due to a serious injury.
They said I needed to send money
for treatment right away, so I did.
-They knew my kid's name…
-Enough.
You really can't catch them?
What about our deposit?
I told you that catching them
doesn't mean you'll get your money back.
Please wait your turn.
Gosh, my one million won…
I saved for a whole year
to help my granddaughter with her tuition.
You foolish woman.
What the hell were you thinking?
How could you blow our deposit
because of a phone call?
I really thought it was our son-in-law!
-Gosh, I should've called him to confirm.
-Excuse me.
-I'm crazy.
-I was told to come in.
-Did you report a voice phishing case?
-Yes, of course.
I called it in.
Put your name down on the list,
and someone will be with you.
-A list
-This way.
Just this once. Please.
Excuse me.
I want my money back!
This is…
157, PARK JIN-HYUNG
-Why can't you find him?
-You're number 158.
So they're all…
Please save me!
You really need to help us!
CHOI KYUNG-GU
Didn't we see her at the police station?
Gosh, how long would it take
to save a million won
from collecting cardboard?
Ma'am!
Have you lost your mind?
Ma'am, are you all right?
I don't deserve to live.
Gosh, my precious million won.
My gosh…
I'll take her home. You should go first.
What are you going to do?
What do you mean?
Go on.
Ma'am, can you get up?
Gosh…
Oh, my.
Gosh.
Please help me get my money back.
This film just came in.
It's almost bulletproof.
Cool, right?
Don't you feel safe looking at it?
I can't tell just by looking at it.
Then should I demonstrate?
There, look!
What do you think? You see?
People would think you invented it.
DELUXE TAXI
You weren't there to see it.
Do you know how many people
have tragic stories to tell.
Voice phishing is the most tragic.
We got over 30 calls this morning alone.
Did you give out the number?
Why would I do such a thing?
I'm not that thoughtless.
WHITE COLLAR CRIME VICTIM WAITING LIST
IT'LL BE OKAY WITH ONE CALL
Hey, aren't we leaving? Get in.
WE'LL FIND YOU YOUR LOST MONEY
DON'T DIE, GET REVENGE
You sure are.
You got scammed all on your own
-and even solicited cases all on your own.
-My point exactly.
I won't deny it.
But that's not all.
-Were you scammed out of more money?
-Does Mr. Jang know?
I was just on my way to tell him
-what you've been up to.
-What?
I'll tell him everything too.
In the past three years alone,
there were 192,752 voice phishing cases
in Korea.
The financial loss
was a total of 1.3591 trillion won.
My gosh.
In 2019, there were 200 cases a day.
In 2019 alone,
there was a loss of 672 billion won.
I get that,
but why did you give out flyers
when you went to report it?
I wouldn't have if they'd said
they'd get me my money back.
CALL DELUXE TAXI
But they said I can't get it back.
I went with him and heard what they said.
Apparently, the likelihood of a victim
getting his money back
is 1 out of 10,000.
It's 1 out of 10,000.
Which means, it's practically impossible.
This is so unfair.
-It doesn't make sense.
-Why not?
Exactly.
You little…
It's because you didn't get that call.
What do you think, Do-ki?
-Not sure.
-What do you mean?
You should be clear.
Yes, be clear.
Let's do it.
I'm for it.
Mr. Jang.
Listen.
There have been countless victims,
but voice phishing victims
never request help
from Bluebird.
It's very odd. With other types of crimes,
people often comfort
and support the victims.
But with voice phishing,
they scold the victims instead.
What did they do wrong?
You foolish woman.
What the hell were you thinking?
How could you blow our deposit
because of a phone call?
I mean, who'd send five million won
after just one phone call?
You got scammed all on your own.
Were you scammed out of more money?
Well, I wasn't really trying to scold him.
Ordinary people who are most detached
from the law.
And good people who'd never break the law.
Ironically, such people
are the targets of voice phishing.
If a prosecutor suddenly calls you
and recites laws that you don't even know,
it's only natural to feel intimidated.
It doesn't matter whether the person
is a real prosecutor or not.
You'd care more about proving
your innocence.
I think we should take this on.
I agree with Mr. Jang.
Me too.
But don't distribute flyers again.
Okay, I won't.
To be honest,
I was on board from the get-go.
Don't lie.
You picked on me the most.
-But thanks anyway.
-Gosh!
-Seriously?
-All right, guys.
Do-ki, I want you to be in charge.
Given my condition…
-I'm sorry.
-Don't worry.
I'll call you if anything happens.
All right.
Let's get moving, then.
Yes, sir.
Something's wrong with this.
What's wrong?
You see messages coming through
all day long.
Oh, Kim Do-ki drives a taxi.
He probably left the taxi app open.
Still, it's odd.
Who drives a taxi all day and night?
That's true.
It means he didn't sleep at all.
But why are you investigating this anyway?
I'll explain it in detail later
when I can sound like a prosecutor.
Yes, ma'am.
What are these blanks?
It means there was no signal.
No signal?
There's no record at all
because it didn't connect to any towers.
It means his phone was turned off.
So all these blanks mean
he didn't have reception.
DETAILED PHONE RECORDS
Oh, no.
Then what should I do, Mr. Prosecutor?
Before the Financial Supervisory Service
and we, at the prosecution,
begin our investigation,
the funds in your account should be
transferred to where we designate.
Okay, I'll do that.
Should I do it right now?
Yes, I put it where you told me to.
We'll begin investigating your account.
It'll take about two days.
We'll deposit it
back into your account after.
-Do you understand?
-Yes, sir.
You can head home now
and wait for our call.
Thank you.
SEMO STORAGE
-Thank you.
-No problem.
Why aren't you grabbing him?
What if he runs away while you wait?
I hear voice phishing rings are good
at cutting off their tails.
Then we'll just strike them on the head.
DELUXE TAXI
Don't leave the onions on the floor.
-Pick up the onions.
-Yes, sir.
This is brand new.
Thank you.
This is insane.
Do you expect me to believe that?
Say that again.
Where's my money?
After picking it up,
I forgot about it
and left it in the bathroom.
I went straight back,
but it was already gone.
Did you get greedy?
No. That's really not it, ma'am.
I really forgot it in the bathroom.
Are you willing to give up your life
for that chump change?
Find this punk
and bring me his head!
This is driving me crazy.
He's a complete lunatic.
Did you get the location?
Yes, of course.
I did everything you asked.
Please spare me.
If I stay here, I'll really die.
-Shut it.
-You promised.
-Shut up, you punk. Get up!
-Let me go.
Please, let me go.
It's near the ocean.
What's the plan this time?
SON OF THE WIND
Mr. Park.
Can you hit me?
-What?
-No.
You should hit me five times.
No, I don't want to. I won't do it.
Let's just make it ten.
Don't go easy on me. Beat me up.
I don't want to.
What will you make me do this time?
Gosh, what is this?
How would you like it cut?
Something that can make him look
ten years younger.
Is that doable?
Yes. I'll start with
our vitamin treatment.
The scalp needs to be healthy
for the style to come out nicely.
Take good care of him.
BLUE CLUB
You see, my hair is--
-It's okay.
-What?
You got this.
What are you doing over there?
I want to look five years younger.
I'm not even asking for ten.

So when you say things like,
"I can't do it" or "I'm out,"
it sounds like

Of course they don't understand it.

You have a savings account, don't you?
Yes, I do.
It's for my grandchild's tuition fees.
I save a little every month.
Right, that account

Pardon me?
What… Come again?
Gosh, what do I do?
This is for my grandchild's tuition fees.

Then hit "Transfer"

by the Financial Supervisory Service.
Okay, I just sent it.
I'll contact you
once the investigation is completed.
Okay.
My gosh. Thank you so much.
Had you not called me,
this would've been a disaster. Yes.
Thank you again.
Only 1.02 million won? That's it.
