CORRUPTION INVESTIGATION OFFICE
Director Choi.
Hello.
It's nice to meet you.
I'm in charge of the CIO's Security Team.
My name is Do Young-geol.
I see! Mr. Do Young-geol!
I heard you were the best agent on the security team of the NIS.
I feel reassured knowing that you'll help me.
I'm honored to work for you.
Excuse me, sir.
How can I help you?
I'm looking forward to working with you.
-Well... -Me too.
I'm here to meet Mr. Bae Goo-taek.
-Hello, Mr. Do. -Get back to work.
You look good in a suit, Mr. Do.
Jeez, I can't believe I'm doing this.
-What do I need to see? -This one, right here.
You, the secretariat, will handle the cases
that departments one, two and three are reluctant to handle,
or the cases that are ambiguous or ignored.
Mr. Choo.
Join the CIO.
You're surprised.
Were you going to rot in that small town?
I need a justification to promote you.
Pretend to give in,
and join the CIO.
We, the prosecution,
need to know what's on their mind to avoid embarrassing situations.
Right. We need to help each other.
"Help each other"? I like that.
Thank you.
Work there
until the prosecution regains its stability,
and return in glory.
Mr. Choo.
Is there any case you want to investigate?
No.
Let me know anytime if there are any.
Let's wrap it up for today.
CIO
What's wrong with you, Mr. Jung?
Did you not sleep well?
No.
I had some work to do.
I asked him to do something.
No, I'm doing it...
because I'm curious about it.
What are you working on?
I need to restore a hard drive. It's called digital forensics.
It takes a long time.
Digital forensics?
Yes.
Oh, right.
You also know about the Cha Min-ho case.
No, I don't.
You don't know Mr. Cha Min-ho?
If it doesn't involve high-ranking officials,
it's not appropriate to talk about it here.
Right.
You have a point.
I'm sorry.
Let's talk about it after work.
Yes, ma'am.
He talked about it just briefly.
Why is he so touchy? Gosh!
I'm sorry to have bothered you.
No, I'm the one who should apologize.
Take your time. Take care of yourself too.
Yes, ma'am.
Celebratory rice cakes!
Ms. Choi and you are meant to be.
Mr. Bae.
Please take good care of her.
Don't worry.
Do you want to see your wife for a moment?
No, I'd better just go.
No wonder she gets embarrassed about things like this!
Thank you for the rice cakes.
-Mr. Bae. -Yes?
May I use the restroom?
The restroom?
It's over there. Wait.
Is it okay for him to use the restroom?
Thank you for the snack again.
-Enjoy. -Okay.
Gosh, it's heavy.

EPISODE 7
Mr. Choo.
Yes?
Do you really not know Mr. Cha Min-ho?
A month and a half ago by Mr. Cha's car at the impound lot...
Don't you remember that?
Stop there.
Let go of me.
You suddenly asked for my ID card. You were from an investigation unit.
But when I twisted your arm, you shouted in pain. I remember that.
Well, no! Not that.
By Mr. Cha's car, we--
Investigator Jung Chul-hoon.
Where do you belong?
CIO, sir.
Why would you work for the investigation unit instead of CIO?
Do your duty first.
Yes, sir.
You won't find a studio apartment like this.
The view is nice.
I'll rent this room.
You've made a wise choice.
When will you start using it?
Now.
SEUNG-GOO
Hi, Seung-goo.
I'm on my way home.
I'll be home in 40 minutes.
Okay.
Go out and walk Bo-ri.
Well, it's our first day.
Director Choi must be tired.
Why don't we have chicken and beer without her?
Shall we?
That sounds good.
Mr. Choo.
I don't drink.
You don't?
Then let's have a drink without him.
Okay.
He's uncooperative.
YOU'VE GOT E-MAIL
CHECK THE E-MAIL
My--
What is this?
I'D LIKE TO REPORT CHIEF SECRETARY KIM MYUNG-JAE
Mr. Choo.
From the first day, really?
I'D LIKE TO REPORT CHIEF SECRETARY KIM MYUNG-JAE
Mr. Do.
It's begun.
Okay.
It's time to watch the drama.
KIM MYUNG-JAE ACCEPTED A BRIBE ON THE DAY HIS MOTHER DIED
-Is this all? -Yes, it is.
Maybe it's blackmail
or mudslinging.
Who's the informant?
We haven't checked it yet.
Director.
Kim Myung-jae lost his mother
three days after the presidential election.
What?
Then it's a false tip-off.
What a nasty person. For goodness' sake!
Is this the only article about it?
Yes, that's all.
KIM MYUNG-JAE, CHAIRMAN OF NEC, LOSES HIS MOTHER.
I'D LIKE TO REPORT CHIEF SECRETARY KIM MYUNG-JAE
What do you think, Mr. Choo?
If the information is not correct, I don't think we need to care about it.
Chairman of NEC, the kingmaker, lost his mother,
but there was only one article about it.
I think it's strange.
Hi, Sang-a.
Director Choi, how was it today?
Do you remember the death of Kim Myung-jae's mother?
Yes, I do. What about it?
After the presidential election?
Her funeral was held after the election,
but she died before that.
Why do you ask?
What are you saying?
He couldn't be away from his desk because he was the campaign director.
So, he held the funeral after the election.
He held it only with his family.
So, those who served him didn't know about it.
Do you remember when she passed away?
What's going on? Why are you asking me that?
Try to remember.
Let me think.
The golden cross.
The golden cross appeared on the chart on the day of her death.
I talked about it with my men.
We said her funeral couldn't be held because of the golden cross.
Her funeral couldn't be held because of the golden cross?
Director Choi.
Let us interview you.
Okay. Do so.
Really? When?
After I quit my job.
Are you kidding? Hey--
Gosh!
Is this tip-off true then?
Mr. Kim's mother passed away
five days before the election. That's true.
Let's suppose that it's true.
We can't summon and interrogate the chief secretary of the Blue House.
Let's look into his assets,
and check the records of his financial transactions
from the presidential election until now.
-Yes, ma'am. -Please also check
the use of the campaign funds reported to the NEC
five days before and after the election,
-and the scale of the campaign. -Yes, ma'am.
Then the Blue House will notice that we're investigating them.
Yes. When you contact the NEC,
you need to ask for the records of both parties.
Then they won't know which side is being investigated.
What if we find something suspicious?
Then we should investigate the Blue House.
Please find out who the informant is.
Yes, ma'am.
My gosh! The Blue House on the first day!
Mr. Kim is the one who helped Ms. Choi get appointed.
We'd be ungrateful if we investigate him.
But if we don't, it's a dereliction of duty.
What should we do, Mr. Choo?
There's one thing we don't need.
Personal feelings.
We don't and won't need them.
We're not machines.
Gosh!
He looks like he doesn't have any friends. Don't you agree?
Hey, guys!
At the CIO director's appointment ceremony held at the Blue House today,
the President instructed the CIO to impartially investigate
any high-ranking officials regardless of rank.
The government guaranteed the CIO's authority
for independent investigations...
Bye.
Why are you out here?
I was worried about you.
I heard the rice cakes were from you.
Mr. Bae must've told you.
He didn't have to do that.
I enjoyed them.
Did something happen?
Why? Does it show on my face?
What happened?
Did something bad happen at work?
I'm off the clock.
I want to get some rest.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Did you have dinner?
No. I don't have an appetite.
Why not?
Did someone on your team cause trouble?
No, it's nothing like that.
I'm sorry. Later.
Let's talk later.
Okay.
Hey, Mr. Choo.
It was your first day. How was it?
Everything is in confusion.
Choi Yeon-soo. How about her?
I don't think she'll hold the post for long.
You don't think so? Why not?
She seems to have no intention to do that.
Really?
She has no intention to do that?
What did she say?
She said she'd investigate the Blue House.
She's crazy.
The Blue House? Why?
Did someone tip you off about the President's corruption?
Let me pour you a drink.
We were tipped off about an irregularity committed by Kim Myung-jae.
Really? What kind of irregularity?
He allegedly accepted illegal funds.
Illegal funds?
We're trying to find out if it's true.
Sang-dong.
Shouldn't we take part in the war?
Make your enemies give in.
That's the best way to fight a war.
"It's best to win without fighting"?
That's a passage from "The Art of War".
Yes.
If Choi Yeon-soo fights the Blue House, and wins on our behalf,
it will be the best thing for us.
Will she...
fight the Blue House?
If she makes a mistake and saves the Blue House...
we can blame her and finish the Blue House off.
HAN'S BIKE LAB
Your mission is...
to stop this person.
CHOI YEON-SOO
Stop what?
You said you wouldn't stop your wife from becoming the CIO director.
You told me to stop her if I could.
I'm in charge of the CIO's Security Team.
My name is Do Young-geol.
Thank you.
Gosh, it's hot.
Jeez.
LEE SUK-KYU
Hey, Suk-kyu.
Now?
All right.
Okay, I'm coming.
I don't even have time to eat.
This car is clean.
It's almost a new car.
Cabs are quite expensive.
Thank you, Mr. Do.
Don't look so excited.
I'm not giving this to you for free.
All right. Goodness!
You see Lee Suk-kyu...
once in a while, right?
Me?
I saw him just once that day.
Report to me right away if you think he's up to something.
Come on, man. It's been years since I retired.
Don't make me do that.
Find out what he and the wench who hurt me at the barbecue place
are planning to do.
My goodness!
I got lost and wandered around for a while.
Do you drive a taxi now?
I shut down the car rental shop. I need a source of income.
Do I look like a taxi driver?
Take this.
What is it?
Have you forgotten? It's your birthday.
The last day of September.
How do you know that?
How do I know that?
Don't you remember?
I got multiple bonuses thanks to you.
My wife was so happy that she
sent you seaweed soup on your birthday.
I remember.
Your wife's seaweed soup was really delicious.
I tried to cook it, but it doesn't taste the same.
Of course not. You need artificial seasonings.
What's wrong?
Does Do Young-geol annoy you?
He shook hands with Yeon-soo, and got approvals from her
with a smile on his face.
Did he?
Then...
consider yourself lucky.
Lucky?
If he meant to hurt her, he'd do that quietly.
He wouldn't stay near her like that.
What do you mean?
You know what I mean.
You were the same.
If you had meant to hurt your wife during the operations,
you wouldn't even have started dating her.
The Company must be using him as a spy.
He's watching the CIO to see what they do.
Then why did they tell me to stop her in the first place?
That's what I'm saying.
The NIS was worried about something for sure.
Your wife handled many political cases.
Is there any case
that she recently looked into which might have annoyed them?
Do you have any idea?
Kim Tae-yeol's case.
Or Cha Min-ho's case?
Find out what he and the wench who hurt me at the barbecue place
are planning to do.
Kim Tae-yeol's case was closed long ago.
Cha Min-ho?
I wonder if Go Yoon-joo knows something.
Go Yoon-joo?
Haven't you talked to her since then?
No.
You haven't?
I'll bring it to you right away.
Hello.
By any chance,
-did the lady come here after that? -Yes?
Well...
I don't know.
RANDOM INTERNET CAFE
-Come with us. -Come on!
All right. Let go of me first.
Gosh.
For goodness' sake.
Let go of me if you want to talk to me!
-Come. -I said I would!
-You jerks! -Jeez.
-Hey! -Catch her!
Let go of me, you thugs!
How dare you? Let go!
Hey! Let go of me!
Let go of me, you jerks. Let go.
I said, let go. How dare you, you jerks?
Ma'am.
You're so loud. Stop swearing.
Listen attentively.
All right.
David is the father of Solomon, and Solomon is whose father?
The father of savings banks.
Banks bear interest and interest bears more interest.
That's what brought us here today.
Jeez.
For goodness' sake.
You crazy jerk.
What bears what?
You're talking rubbish.
Hey!
-Let go of me, you jerks! -Oh, my!
You're drunk in broad daylight.
Your debt!
Pay your debt.
Debt?
My debt?
Gosh.
Why didn't you tell me that earlier?
All right. I'll pay my debt, you sons of guns,
but I don't have money now.
Let go of me.
Hey!
Gosh.
You lent me 500,000 won,
and took way more money than that from me!
Hey, kill me.
Kill me. Just kill me!
Yes, we'll do that.
Right now, ma'am...
Guys.
Draw blood from her
and check her blood type.
-Yes. -Hey, don't you do that to me.
Don't touch me!
-Let go of me! -Hey.
You should listen to me, woman.
Look at me.
Hey, look at me.
Help her up.
All right.
Put her in the car.
What happened to the door?
Gosh.
Hey, man. Who are you?
You're old enough to know...
what to stay out of.
Do you have a death wish?
Jeez.
My nose!
Guys.
Hey, guys. All right.
Follow me, guys.
Follow me.
Darn it.
Yoon-joo.
Are you okay?
Suk-kyu?
Use it wisely.
You're not rusty like I am.
What? Why are you looking at me like that?
What went on between you and Min-ho?
Min-ho?
Why do you want to know that?
You said you'll get back at them.
They killed him. They must be punished.
Were you and Min-ho...
What are you trying to say?
The only woman he loved was his wife.
Just like you.
I do have an eye for a good man.
How did you keep in touch with him?
Everyone abandoned me.
My country,
the Company...
and you.
Only Min-ho cared about me.
He came to see me once in a while, though I didn't call him.
I have no idea how he knew that I was broke.
No need to be sorry.
After all,
it's every man for himself.
I'm going to kill those jerks,
and leave this place.
What is this?
Take a look.
SPECIAL OPERATIONS TEAM OF NSPA
Our new members who'll be assigned to the operation to arrest Kim Tae-yeol.
GO YOON-JOO
Why is she on the list?
Oh, Go Yoon-joo?
She volunteered to work on this team.
You met her last year.
I'm thankful.
When I met her last year,
I thought she was quick-witted and tenacious.
Anyway, look through the list.
Mr. Oh.
I want you...
to exclude Go Yoon-joo.
Why?
There's a problem.
A problem?
Yes.
What's the problem?
-Are you dating her? -No, I'm not.
It's nothing like that.
I just have
a bad feeling about her.
Can you elaborate on that?
Gosh, just exclude her.
"Just exclude her"? Are you messing with me right now?
Because you're the agent I cherish most?
I need them on this team.
I'll do the work of two people.

KIM MYUNG-JAE'S MOTHER DIED
THE BRIBE
WHO'S THE INFORMANT?
MIN SANG-A
-Now what?-You'll look into it
like you always do, right?
What are you talking about?
I'm disappointed.
The tip-off about Kim Myung-jae accepting a bribe.
How...
How do you know that?
You called me yesterday because of that, right?
The death of Kim Myung-jae's mother.
Sang-a, who are your sources on that?
It's true, isn't it?
Hey, someone in the reporters' chat room
tipped us off about it a minute ago.
My goodness!
"Yesterday, the CIO was tipped off about Kim Myung-jae committing bribery
before the presidential election."
-You should've told me-- -I have to go.
What? Hey, Yeon-soo--
CHIEF SECRETARY KIM MYUNG
CHIEF SECRETARY IS UNDER SUSPICION OF ACCEPTING A LARGE SUM OF MONEY AS A BRIBE
WILL THE CIO INVESTIGATE THE BLUE HOUSE?
WHAT DID THE CIO DO FOR TWO DAYS?
BLUE HOUSE FLUSTERED BY THE RUMOR THAT CHIEF SECRETARY KIM ACCEPTED A BRIBE
CORRUPTION INVESTIGATION OFFICE FOR HIGH-RANKING OFFICIALS
You're bold enough to come here.
I have something to tell you.
Follow me.
That tip-off is slander.
Did you come and see me to tell me that?
You can at least hear the explanation.
Okay. Go ahead and explain it.
I'll see whether it's an explanation, or external pressure.
I asked Mr. Kim and confirmed it.
Are you saying what he says is the evidence?
You know this administration
is trying to publicize our special operations expenses, right?
About a trillion won is used
as special operations expenses every year.
But we don't know where the money goes.
You know that.
Are you saying those who are trying to stop the bill from passing
slandered Mr. Kim?
Have you found out who the informant is?
What matters is whether or not it's true.
If it's a false tip-off, we don't need to worry about anything.
Yeon-soo.
Investigating Mr. Kim now is what those who did this want.
The Blue House had faith in you.
Please give us some time too.
When will you...
propose the bill?
Next week.
We'll propose it next week.
I always think about what Tae-yeol would do.
If it were him,
he would be excited like a child and spend restless nights working on this.
Transparent Korea.
Tae-yeol can't see it,
but we can see it soon.
The country we dreamed of.
I need evidence that shows it's slander.
But you're just being emotional.
Check up on it.
Mr. Kim wasn't in Seoul five days before the election.
-What? -If the bill doesn't pass,
it'll be a good thing only for those who tried to slander him.
Please do me a favor.
They had a date?
Do it by looking at it. The right foot first.
It's not easy.
This is not the right way.
WILL DIRECTOR OF CIO RETURN HIS FAVOR OR BETRAY HIM?
Am I going to fail?
THE CIO WAS TIPPED OFF ABOUT BRIBERY
When did you get here?
Not like that, Seung-mi.
You look exhausted.
Did you watch the news?
The ink on your appointment certificate hasn't even dried yet.
I can't believe this is happening.
We don't know whether or not it's true.
Mom! I did a layup!
Yes, Seung-mi. I saw it.
-Good job. -Hi, Mom.
Hi, Seung-goo.
-Hi. -Did you see it?
-It was awesome. -Yes, I saw it.
When the President presented the certificate of appointment to me,
he told me to investigate even the living authorities.
It feels like the whole nation is watching me
to see if I'm doing my job properly.
Maybe...
someone really is watching you.
Gosh, I don't need anyone else to be watching me, but you.
It's not like I watch you all the time.
What?
I know you do.
-What? -Oh, my!
HAN'S BIKE LAB
Seung-goo.
Have a good day, Mom.
-You too. -Bye.
You're going to work already?
Yes, I have work to do. Your dad will give me a ride.
See you. Wait for me.
See you guys.
Gosh, you startled me!
What are you doing here so early in the morning?
My mom made kimchi.
-Hello. -Oh, hello.
Auntie Sang-a, kimchi is good.
Jung-hyun, it has nicely matured.
Thank you.
You have no other intention?
You didn't answer your phone.
-See you. -Bye.
Goodbye.
Hey.
I heard you met Kang Choong-mo yesterday.
Who told you that?
Don't feign ignorance again.
Why, did it spread through messenger too?
Yes, this morning. If you wanted to hand your photos with him
over to the media, you could've just given them to me.
Hand over what photos?
You leaked the photos on purpose to stop the Blue House from pressuring the CIO.
No?
This is driving me insane.
Hey, Choi Yeon-soo.
Give me something, you coldhearted brat!
-Let's go, Jung-hyun. -Okay.
Darn you.
SENIOR SECRETARY FOR CIVIL AFFAIRS MEETS DIRECTOR OF CIO IN SECRET
KANG CHOONG-MO
Like you said, someone is watching me.
Who on earth is it? They even took photos.
Each article got tons of comments.
"Kim Myung-jae is corrupt,
Kang Choong-mo puts on external pressure."
The public opinion isn't so good.
My God! Whoever this person is,
they did a great job making mischief.
As you all know by looking at the pictures of me and Mr. Kang,
it's clear that information is being leaked.
Whether it's the Blue House or us.
What's most urgent is
to check if Mr. Kang was right
about Mr. Kim not being in Seoul five days before the presidential election.
Did Mr. Kang say that?
It'll be over once he has an alibi.
Look into where he went at that time.
Okay.
That's all.
-Good work. -You too.
Yes, Mr. Jung.
About the computer Cha Min-ho used at the internet cafe,
its hard drive has been restored.
Really?
He searched one keyword on the portal website that day.
Widow's Cruse Project.
Widow's Cruse Project?
Yes, that's what he searched.
Widow's Cruse Project?
WIDOW'S CRUSE PROJECT
This couple is trying hard to end their lives.
Is this being recorded?
Yes.
Widow's Cruse...
An inexhaustible supply of something...
Is that all?
Yes, for now.
Widow's Cruse Project.
Once we settle Kim Myung-jae's issue,
we'll look into it together.
-Okay. -Good job.
No problem.
Widow's Cruse Project.
CHOI YEON-SOO
Do Young-geol, this rat.

Where is this place?
He searched one keyword on the portal website that day.
Widow's Cruse Project.
Widow's Cruse Project?
Yes, that's what he searched.
-Mr. Do. -Yes, sir.
-Listen carefully. -Yes.
Figure out what the CIO does about the Widow's Cruse Project.
Yes, sir.
This is more important than your life.
Do you understand?
I'll check thoroughly and report back to you.
You should wrap things up well there and come back soon.
Yes, sir.
I'll be going.
Get going.
Go on.
Do a good job.
Sure.
The general election is around the corner. What will you do now?
Widow's Cruse Project.
Choi Yeon-soo got wind of it.
-Will it be okay? -What are you talking about?
That can't be an excuse to stop it all.
It's my job to get rid of Choi Yeon-soo.
Yes, sir.
I can't sit back and watch this country go down.
Right.
How long will it take to retrieve it?
About four weeks, sir.
Make it three weeks.
I'll do that. sir.
What are you waiting for? Do it.
Yes.
Who are you?
Well,
isn't this 123-gil, Yangseo-ro?
No.
It's strange.
It has to be somewhere around here.
Welcome. Welcome!
Grandpa.
My pumpkins!
-Welcome. Let's go inside. -We're here.
Welcome.
Park the cars.
-Sure. -Okay.
Let's go in.
Come along.
Who is he?
This is Im Hyung-rak.
-Who? -Im Hyung-rak.
Don't you remember?
The other team leader who made a fuss during the narcotics case.
I told you before.
That's him?
The current executive director of the NIS?
Yes, him.
Did you take this picture?
What's wrong with you?
You could be in serious trouble.
This man...
got Do Young-geol into the CIO.
Whatever the case is, why would you dig into the executive director?
Then what?
Do Young-geol is stuck at Yeon-soo's side.
I can't just listen to you and sit on my hands!
Whatever.
I'm out.
So don't call me for something like this.
Don't ask for me.
Five days before the presidential election,
Mr. Kim was on Jeju Island.
I'll look more into it to find clear evidence.
Okay, please do that.
Ms. Choi.
I don't think we can confirm the informant.
Can't it be tracked?
No, I did.
But apparently, it was sent
from a photo studio in Nairobi, Kenya.
I inquired about it at the embassy.
They said the studio had no CCTV cameras,
and so it couldn't be confirmed.
You mean it was an expert?
Yes.
Still, work on it to the end.
Okay.

Who is it?
What's this?
Thank you for trusting me.
Don't mention it.
Thank you for holding out.
WHAT MAKES LIFE WORTH IT IS TO BELIEVE THAT YOUR DREAM WILL COME TRUE
Are you throwing those shoes away?
No, getting the top lifts changed.
Dad has worn those shoes since my middle school entrance ceremony.
Throw them away.
They're fine, so why?
Aren't you even shaken after being criticized like that?
It's because people don't know.
Invite all those people who say
that he took bribes worth billions of won.
I want to hear what they babble.
The one struggling the most
is your dad.
I know. I'm just upset.
Cha Min-ho. Go Yoon-joo.
Their leader at that time.
That darn man.
He's the current executive director of the NIS.
This man...
got Do Young-geol into the CIO.
Whatever the case is, why would you dig into the executive director?
This should be enough for you to resolve your issue with them.
Is it out of sympathy or something?
I feel like I'm partly responsible
for your struggles.
What if I waste this money away on drinks instead of paying off my debt?
Gosh!
I got free money, but I feel horrible.
By any chance,
do you know why Cha Min-ho died?
Why did he die?
Do you know?
No.
Then he didn't tell you
anything about Do Young-geol or Im Hyung-rak?
Im Hyung-rak?
Yes, Im Hyung-rak.
Min-ho was his subordinate.
Why did he keep working for that piece of trash?
That piece of trash?
He's a piece of trash?
Im Hyung-rak.
Im Hyung-rak... Im Hyung-rak.
Im Hyung-rak.
Yoon-joo, are you okay?
You will...
never be able to escape from him either.
You'll suffer like us.
What do you mean?
Why did he
keep working for Im Hyung-rak?
Tell me.
Why is he a piece of trash?
I get it.
That was it.
Yoon-joo.
What is it? Tell me.
Dad.
Seung-mi.
Is she your daughter?
Hello.
Hey.
I am...
your dad's old acquaintance.
Take this.
It's okay.
Take it. I want to give it to you.
Thank you.
You're pretty.
Just like your mom.
It was nice seeing you. Bye.
Well, okay. Bye.
Bye.
Goodbye.
Does Mom know her too?
No, we were friends before I met your mom.
What...
Then how does she know Mom's face?
I don't know.
Maybe she saw her on TV.
Hey, you look just like your mom.
Is she your ex-girlfriend?
Are you kidding me?
We were colleagues at work.
Oh, okay.
I should've greeted her properly.
It's okay.
It's fascinating.
What is?
You did have a friend.
I mean, I even wondered if you were an outcast.
Oh, please.
I was super popular before you guys were born.
As if.
What?
Once the bill falls through,
it will do good only to those who slandered Mr. Kim.
Invite all those people who say
that he took bribes worth billions of won.
I want to hear what they babble.
Did something happen?
You're here. Sit down.
Why? Is it because of Mr. Kim?
I had no idea I would investigate the side
that proposed the Budget Transparency Act.
Is that Mr. Kim?
Yes.
Mr. Kim Myung-jae still wears
the shoes that he wore to his daughter's middle school entrance ceremony
by replacing the top lifts.
But he should be better off with his salary.
Why? What is it?
Is the report true?
If I catch Mr. Kim,
I'll only be the puppet of those who want to stop the Budget Transparency Act.
Choi Yeon-soo.
Yes?
Don't be intimidated.
You are no longer an attorney.
You're in charge of the CIO.
Your job is...
to catch people who have committed wrongdoings.
Think only about that.
CHOI YEON-SOO
What's wrong and right?
My hidden memories
CIO
Hard to decide
Don't wanna face the old, past me
I must have mistaken
My lie was perfect until it was not
And now I'm asking myself
Where are you now?
Living in the moment Living in the distant
Are you
Trapped inside the voices Keeping you from going back home?
I'm going on patrol.
Okay, see you.
Okay.
Free the lies and then you'll see
Here I am
CIO
The security has been disabled.
OFFICE OF SECURITY CHIEF
CHOI YEON-SOO
Where did you install it, Do Young-geol?
CHOI YEON-SOO
Is this your eye?
Who's there?
Mr. Do, what are you doing here?

Yes, sir.
-Go on. -Okay.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Yes, sir.

HAN'S BIKE LAB
Jung-hyun.
PROPOSAL
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Yes, sir.
There isn't anything special.
She isn't preparing to apply for a search warrant or an arrest warrant.
YEON-SOO
This is a spy camera.
Apologizing won't resolve this issue!
The report has been confirmed to be fake.
There are pictures of him campaigning in Jeju.
The CIO has concluded that
the chief secretary has been cleared of all suspicion.
Now.
The administration itself is about to go down!
They framed Mr. Kim Myung-jae and even threatened the Blue House.
Who could that be?
We have a serious problem!
It's not your fault.
It's like the day Tae-yeol died.
I didn't kill Kim Tae-yeol.
Park Doo-sik?
It isn't me.
Who's that?
Are you saying you saw the face?
