Thanks to you, I recovered completely.
Thank you, Suk-kyu.
Congratulations.
-A toast? -Cheers.
Cheers!
I heard in the hospital that you two already hung out without me.
We just ran into each other...
and had a meal and a drink.
Sure. It was a coincidence.
You two are acting strange.
What are you saying?
Bottoms up.
Hey, let me see your arm.
What happened to it?
Let me see.
You had bruises the other day too. They're bigger this time.
What happened?
To catch junkies, she had to become a junkie.
-Min-ho. -What are you saying?
Then you should tell the Company and go into rehab.
Do you think the Company will help her?
They'll fire her.
That's ridiculous.
It happened while working for the government. They can't do that.
Are you really that naive?
What do I care? I need to take a leak.
What are you doing? Drink it.
What? Are you worried about me?
Suk-kyu, are you okay?
Sometimes, I'm confused about who I am.
Go Yoon-joo... or Kim Do-hee?
I'm Go Yoon-joo, right?
Not Kim Do-hee, but Go Yoon-joo.
You've had too much to drink.
Let's go.
Stop drinking.
As I lock eyes with you
-Wait. -What's wrong?
Please...
I'm sorry.
You're drunk, aren't you?
Can you please hug me once?
My day starts
Oh, no. Yoon-joo!
Yoon-joo.
Yoon-joo?
Be careful. Watch your step, Yoon-joo.
Hold on.
You and only you
As time goes by Our love grows deeper
I love you, baby, I love you
Shall we date?
Give me purpose
My day begins and ends with you
Go to sleep.
Don't go.
You and only you
I'm sorry.
Why are you following me, you pervert?
If you like me, say so.
Instead of sneaking a peek.
Wait. Wait a minute.
Wait and listen.
Go Yoon-joo.
It's you, right?
Lee Suk-kyu?
It's been a long time.
RANDOM
Why are you here?
Did you keep in touch with Min-ho?
Why are you asking me that?
Why did you go to the place where he died?
Min-ho didn't kill himself, right?
Are you still with those jerks?
You guys killed him, didn't you?
"You guys"? Who are you talking about?
Are you pretending to not know?
No. I really don't know anything.
RANDOM
Darn it.
What?
Darn it. I'll pay it.
Why won't I pay a small sum of money I spent at an internet cafe?
If you call me again,
I'll smash your head with that phone!
Get lost...
or I'll smash your head too.
Yoon-joo, who on earth are they?
Is that your lackey?
EPISODE FIVE
Mr. Do, these are pictures I just took.
This crazy jerk.
He's still clearly out of his mind.
Jeez.
What is this?
Go Yoon-joo.
Cha Min-ho.
Go Yoon-joo. Cha Min-ho.

Hello? This is Jung Chul-hoon.
Hello, Detective Jung. It's me. Attorney Choi Yeon-soo.
The person you've dialed...
JUNG CHUL-HOON
Hey. Why won't Jung Chul-hoon answer his phone?
Should I switch with him?
No. Go, watch him.
If he does something strange, report to me right away.
Yes, sir.
Gosh, that annoying jerk.
CHA MIN-HO
A-3, CHUNGMURO STATION PASSWORD 0913
Oh!
I went to this place a few days ago.
-What? -I almost caught the man
who took an envelope out of this locker.
When?
I heard it was empty. Are you sure?
Yes, I'm dead sure. I was...
What about his face?
Did you see it?
The train has just left.
No, I didn't see it clearly.
I missed him by a second.
Then...
it's highly likely that he's the culprit.
He's certainly the culprit.
Yes, he's the one.
We need to check all the CCTV footage to catch him.
Want to come with me?
It's this room, sir.
What's going on?
Is he not here yet?
Boy.
You're already here, Mr. Park.
You could've just called me.
It wasn't something I could say over the phone.
Let's go in.
What is the important matter?
You're busy, aren't you?
You're well aware of it.
Let's get down to business.
Cha Min-ho... He left something behind before he died.
What is it?
Come on. We're not just business partners.
I'd like to buy you a meal,
and get some advice too.
You're an investment specialist.
I own some land in my hometown,
and that's the amount of money I'll get as severance pay.
If you help me increase my fortune,
I can move to the Philippines to let my children study English
-and play golf... -So tell me.
What did he leave?
-A document envelope. -What document envelope?
A yellow document envelope.
-Did you see it? -I don't know anything about it.
I heard someone took it.
Excuse me.
Really?
All right.
What would you do without me, sir?
What do you mean?
The timing is great.
One of my men and Attorney Choi Yeon-soo
went to Chungmuro Station to find the document envelope.
YEON-SOO
-Yeon-soo.-Hi, Jung-hyun.
Will you be home for dinner?
I'm not sure. I'm on my way to Chungmuro Station.
Chungmuro Station?
Do you remember the locker?
It seems that someone opened it before you did.
Yes, so I'm going to Chungmuro Station
to check the CCTV footage.
Now?
Okay.
Good luck.
Han Jung-hyun...
Get your head on straight.
Get your head on straight, Han Jung-hyun.
No.
Please show us the CCTV footage.
Again? You checked it the other day.
The CCTV filming locker number three.
Please do us a favor.
CHUNGMURO STATION CONTROL ROOM
FIRE HYDRANT
What's going on?
The fire alarm went off.
Can we continue to watch it?
Are you serious? The fire alarm went off.
-Stay outside. -We're almost done.
-I need to go check that. -Please...
No, I need to go. Stay outside.
Leave this room.
Have you checked it?
I told you to check the security office first.
For goodness' sake.
You need to check the security office first.
Go there now!
This is...
UNKNOWN NUMBER
Lee Suk-kyu, what are you doing?
Do Young-geol?
What is this?
The shackles you put on yourself.
Gosh, this is crazy.
Unbelievable.
What do you want?
I can't believe people still pull such pranks!
Just a second.
What happened?
Where did the file go?
What's wrong?
Well...
All the footage from that week has been deleted.
What!
But just now...
It's gone.
Where did it go? There's no video.
You have the documents, right?
Why do you need them?
Stop fooling around and follow me when I pull on your leash.
YEON-SOO
Pick up the phone. Don't make her suspicious.
Why do you think Choi Yeon-soo is calling you?
YEON-SOO
-Hello? -Jung-hyun.
It's all gone.
Someone deleted the CCTV footage.
Are you outside?
Yes. I'm at the store to buy bean sprouts.
I see. I'll be home late.
Have dinner without me.
-Bye. -Bye.
Bean sprouts?
Follow us.
Invisible hands keep beating us to it.
Do you know anyone from the NIS, Ms. Choi?
Cha worked for the NIS. They must have a record of the investigation.
MR. BAE
Bae Goo-taek speaking.
It's me, Mr. Bae.
What's up?
Do we know anyone from the NIS?
Excuse me.
Yes, Mr. Bae?
Did you forget that I quit today?
I'm hanging up.
Just let me know--
He's so cold.
You know why I hit you...
right?
This is what happens when you forget your place and go rogue.
WIDOW'S CRUSE PROJECT
You didn't do anything stupid
like copying or filming it, did you?
What is that?
Don't meddle or be a busybody.
I'm saying this for your own good.
Why is my name on the list?
What about Kim Do-hee and Jo Dong-pal?
Did you guys kill Cha Min-ho?
Shut your mouth, Lee Suk-kyu.
The surveillance footage of you intercepting this
without your wife's knowledge is in my hands.
You could've been in trouble.
Be thankful.
You're not? You should be.
Stop it.
What?
Stop what?
You said you wouldn't stop your wife from becoming the CIO director.
You told me to stop her if I could.
It's all your fault.
It's too late to regret it.
What?
Buy your bean sprouts and go home.
What the heck are you guys up to?
WIDOW'S CRUSE PROJECT
LEE SUK-KYU
SINIL BANK
Was Cha Min-ho killed because of this?
Mr. Im.
Give me that.
Cha Min-ho tried to hand this over to Choi Yeon-soo,
but Lee Suk-kyu intercepted it.
What about Choi Yeon-soo?
She doesn't know what's in the envelope.
Did you take a peek?
I wouldn't dare.
Are you sure he didn't make copies?
The surveillance footage that captured him taking that
is in our hands.
Lee Suk-kyu wouldn't dare
to do something that could ruin his family.
-Mr. Do. -Yes?
Your children are studying abroad, right?
I can hardly afford it, but yes.
Here you go.
-You may go. -Thank you.
Mr. Im.
What?
Why don't you release the footage that captured Lee Suk-kyu?
If Choi Yeon-soo finds out
that her husband is actually Lee Suk-kyu,
it'll cause a rift between them.
Then the position of CIO Director will be...
-Mr. Do. -Yes?
I decide whether I want Han Jung-hyun's identity revealed.
I mean--
Got it?
Yes, sir.
Don't try to use your brain.
Just do what you're told to do.
I'll continue to watch Lee Suk-kyu.
And?
Oh.
If the Budget Transparency Act passes into law,
we can't run the Widow's Cruse Project anymore.
I'll take care of it.
What about the list?
It won't be easy to get
borrowed-name bank accounts like them again.
For now...
we'll delete all the transactions on the accounts and monitor them.
I'll make sure to keep it under control.

What’s wrong and right?

Hard to decide
Don’t wanna face the old past me

I used to believe in My lie was perfect until...

Where are you?
LEE SUK-KYU
Living in the moment?
Living in the distant?
Are you
Trapped inside the voices Keeping you from going back home
You can break it
You can free the lies and then you'll see
Here I am
Where have you been at this hour?
One of my customers got stuck at Jungnang Stream
because the gears got damaged.
He must've been really frustrated.
Are you okay?
It's a suspicious death,
but the evidence and witnesses constantly disappear.
Do you think
Mr. Cha Min-ho didn't commit suicide?
I'll be able to answer that question
once I find and ask the guy who secretly took
the envelope out of the locker and deleted all the CCTV footage.
I don't know what it is.
But it seems that he tried to hand it over to me
by risking his life.
If I had been faster, I would've gotten it.
Why are you blaming yourself?
I always miss things by a second because I'm busy with the CIO job.
Oh!
Excuse me.
Hi, Reverend.
Where's A-soon?
She's right next to me.
A-soon, what happened?
Ms. Choi.
I'm doing fine.
I lost contact with you for over three months.
So, I was really worried.
Nothing happened.
I'm relieved.
You're with the reverend now, so everything will be fine.
Yes.
Always be careful though.
Okay.
Thank you.
How have you been?
Are you healthy?
Yes, I'm fine.
Do you eat well?
My goodness!
Why are there so many leaflets here?
Gosh!
For goodness' sake.
What is all this?
ATTORNEY CHOI YEON-SOO'S OFFICE
Jeez!
Mr. Bae, why are you not coming in?
She's doing well, right?
She's busy as always.
Is she still investigating Cha Min-ho's case?
You know her. She won't give up.
For goodness' sake. She just doesn't listen to me.
There's a reason why I tried to stop her.
Jeez.
Are you really not going to come back?
I can't do all the work by myself.
Why should I care?
Oh, right.
Give this to her.
INVESTIGATION REPORT
CAR RENTAL AGREEMENT
What?
This is from Mr. Bae.
Mr. Bae?
Prosecutor Choo Dong-woo was dispatched to the Inspection Unit of NIS a year ago.
Choo Dong-woo speaking.
Prosecutor Choo, this is Choi Yeon-soo.
Hello, Ms. Choi.
How have you been?
Is this regarding your son?
No, it's not.
I heard you're working for the NIS now.
Mr. Choo.
I'm waiting to be assigned now.
Mr. Choo, have you heard of Cha Min-ho?
Mr. Choo.
Have you heard of--
I have nothing to say. I have to go.
Mr. Choo. Hello?
"I have nothing to say"!
He didn't say he's never heard of him.
That means he knows something.
Gosh, I'm so frustrated.
This is the worst of all.
What's your thought on Nominee Choi Yeon-soo?
I'd like to say
you've found the right person for the job.
Really?
Ms. Choi is a woman.
It's not easy for a female attorney to achieve such results.
She's very smart and competitive.
I went through all the cases she was in charge of.
I didn't find anything problematic.
No wonder. If there were any problems, someone would've already brought it up.
Exactly.
Besides, none of her family members have any issues.
Good.
You weren't given much time.
Thank you for your work.
Mr. Kim.
Yes?
Are you going to push ahead with the plan
to publicize our special operations expenses?
Last year, we attained a 24-trillion deal to build nuclear power plants
in Arbekia in the Middle East.
We could beat the UK, our rival,
and win the contract
because we won the information war by finding out about their conditions.
We used the special operations budget
to dispatch our secret agents.
And we also used the budget to investigate
and get information about Ms. Choi Yeon-soo.
If we had required receipts,
the informants wouldn't have cooperated with us.
The Blue House
has no intention to restrict the activities of the NIS.
We just want to be
transparent about
where the taxpayers' precious money goes.
If the Budget Transparency Act passes into law,
all the state institutions including the NIS
would eventually abandon
Korea's national interests for transparent accounting.
The Budget Transparency Act
is the key reform project of this administration.
But...
I'll keep the practical problems in mind.
Thank you.
I'll expect you...
to make a wise decision.
NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE SERVICE
We've deleted all the transactions on the accounts
except those you put a hold on.
When should we...
Mr. Park.
Yes?
What did you say?
The accounts you put a hold on.
For goodness' sake.
Hey.
I told you I'd take care of them!
How is it going,
Mr. Park?
What the...
Wow!
Is this...
the heart of the finance team
that prevents financial attacks
from our adversaries like hackers, and takes charge of
the financial security of Korea
by collecting information
about financial institutions in and out of Korea?
Well...
kind of.
Then what does this office do?
Not the offices out there.
But this one.
Gosh, Mr. Do.
What's your pay grade again?
Well...
Except for hands-on workers, it can be opened
only to those above grade three with permission.
I happen to keep covering up for your mess.
I need to know what the mess is so I can be less irritated.
What is this place for?
Exactly.
Come when you become grade three.
Keep your subordinates under better control.
Or is it you that causes problems?
You say you support your family abroad.
But you don't play things safe.
You could get in trouble.
How dare you say that to someone who's struggling to handle your mess?
Even if you struggle so hard...
I doubt you'll be grade three before you retire.
Darn.
-Hello?-Hello, didn't you look for a lady
with overdue bills?
I couldn't tell you back then because my boss was around.
But there's this lady who didn't pay up.
Where is your store?
Once she comes, she stays for a whole week.
Gosh.
She has dark circles down to here.
Even the guy
who came once a month stopped coming.
-The guy? -Yes.
He used to come every month to pay off her bill.
How much is it?
Including the jjajangmyeon she ordered last time,
it's 188,300 won in total.
Her number.
Gosh, we shouldn't leak our customers' information as we please.
I wouldn't pay up someone else's wife's bills
without even checking.
But you seem like her family.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Which computer did she often use?

Ms. Choi.
When others suspected and criticized me for embezzling the company money
and causing it to go bankrupt,
you trusted and helped me.
You were the only one.
-Did I? -If it weren't for you, I really--
So let's work really hard.
First, the hearing.
Oh, the hearing.
Ms. Choi.
-Yes? -What about Mr. Bae?
I'm going to go pay him later today.
I see.
Gosh, what?
I'm here to pay you my monthly rent.
You could wire the money to my bank account.
Why bother bringing it here?
Still, I rented an office in your building for 20 years.
Since it's the last time,
I wanted to give it to you in person.
Check the amount.
I bet it's right.

I must be insane. What's wrong with me?

These have been reviewed.
Okay.
All right.
These have been reviewed.
Keep them separately.
I'm afraid I can't.
Well, sir.
I'll help you put an end
to what you couldn't during your last special investigation.
Are you saying my work was insufficient?
Well, that's not what I mean.
I said I wanted to try working at the CIO
not under you, Ms. Choi.
Don't you get it?
My gosh.
Why come all the way here to meet that person?
-Gosh. -Why? You don't like him?
He was in charge of Lee Min-yool's case.
The guy who indicted Seung-goo.
Of course, I hate him.
But he's the best prosecutor I've ever come across.
Skills don't matter to a jerk.
If he joins us, he will be of great help.
CHOO DONG-WOO
Are you saying
that you want to recruit me into the CIO?
Right.
Ms. Choi, are you trying to sock it to me?
You haven't changed.
I'm the guy who put your son behind bars.
Now...
you want me to work under you?
Right, at that time,
I hated you and badmouthed you so much.
But considering the circumstantial evidence now,
I would have judged the case the same way if I were you.
It isn't because of your ability that you've been sent here.
What do you know?
It wasn't just Seung-goo's case.
You indicted Chief Prosecutor Seo's son for his hit-and-run under the influence.
It was the same for the drug case
of the majority floor leader's son-in-law.
This time as well,
you've been sent here for doing your work.
Enough.
The prosecution is like home to you.
I know it's not easy to leave.
But I promise, I'll help you live out your convictions.
A prosecutor joining the CIO...
means they're out of their mind.
That's what I think.

Did you get demoted here?
Not really. I got reinstated.
People here restore digital evidence
and hand it over to special investigative teams
for them to catch culprits.
I was so envious of that.
It was so hard to join the Investigation Unit.
Maybe I caused trouble to too many people.
I can't hold my curiosity, you see.
There's a job suitable for you.
Thank you. I'll devote my life.
No, don't risk your life.
Just don't hold your curiosity.

Hi, Suk-kyu.
Hi. Mr. Oh.
Yes, hi.
It seems your wife is most likely to be Director of the CIO.
Congrats.
Why don't we have a glass of soju?
Hey, why a glass?
It has to be at least three glasses.
When should we meet up?
By the way...
What? Say it.
Could we meet up with Do Young-geol too?
Do Young-geol?
Hey, why aren't you asleep?
It's just...
What?
It's very hard to get those I want on board.
Who are they?
It's not just one or two.
-So name just one. -Why?
I'll grab them by the collar and drag them here.
Why don't we
go watch the sunrise at dawn?
Again? You must be insane.
The hearing is right around the corner.
So what?
All the assemblymen will shiver in fear at the hearing.
It seems you're the only one on my side.
REVEREND HA
Hello Reverend, how did it go?
I see, the day after tomorrow.
That's good to hear.
Yes, do you need my help with anything?
Gosh, thank you.
How is it working out being the chief prosecutor in Seoul?
Gosh! I miss those times when I was after thugs and frauds.
Receiving and reviewing reports on my desk is killing me.
Look at you.
You might fall sick if I make you Prosecutor General.
My gosh! Don't get me full of false hope!
I might die of it.
And you never say no.
I'm just following your lead.
I hear you've been rivals
with Yeon-soo since your trainee days.
Oh, please. She's an ingenuous human rights lawyer.
She can't be my rival.
She was the top student.
And you were a rank behind her.
At that time, I took one more class.
Introduction to Drinking, Dancing and Singing.
You know, right?
That's right.
Why isn't he coming?
He must be running over here by now.
Oh.
I'm sorry I'm late.
You're here, Mr. Choo.
This is Assemblyman Yoo Sang-dong.
Say hello.
Nice to meet you, sir. I'm Choo Dong-woo.
Come, sit down here.
Yes.
We went to the same college.
Be casual with me.
Yes, sir.
Let me pour you a drink.
Mr. Choo.
I hear you're the eldest of nine siblings.
Yes.
How blessed.
Is that why? You have a high sense of responsibility.
You're flattering me.
How is the air in Gangwon-do?
I have a lot of time to think.
Seeing you rot there breaks my heart.
Sir, I'd like to have him board my bandwagon.
What do you think?
Mr. Choo.
Yes, sir.
Choi Yeon-soo recently visited you, didn't she?

Goodness! I'd really like help even from someone random.
Shouldn't we tell the Blue House and fix this situation somehow?
You may be upright
without anything shady to be revealed,
but we could pass out,
preparing for the hearing and all like this.
Come in.
Gosh.
Mr. Choo?
Who is it?
What an unpleasant visit.
What brings you here?
Your offer back in Gangwon.
Is it still valid?
Of course.
But you refused the offer.
I've changed my mind.
Are you joining us then?
Resigned.
Thank you.
Director nominee Choi Yeon-soo's hearing is to be held this morning
at the Legislation and Judiciary Committee.
The opposing parties are expected to have
a fierce discussion at the hearing
regarding her qualifications
to be in charge of the anti-corruption organization.
Long time no see.
I had to prepare for the hearing until late last night.
Sorry I made you wait.
I ordered in advance, so you can finish and hurry off.
I'm busy, so that's good.
Show the Assembly's presence to the people.
Our presence isn't the issue.
It's to save the country.
She will be ragged after the hearing.
Don't be bothered too much.
Prevention is better than cure.
The country may go off the track sometimes.
But thanks to patriots like you, it gets back on track.
Oh, you're here.
Hello.
-Hello. -Hello.
Mom, good luck with the hearing.
Good luck, Mom.
See you guys.
Yeon-soo, don't be intimidated.
Go on inside.
MR. OH
Hi. Mr. Oh.
Yes, hey.
Do you have time today?
-Today?-Yes, Young-geol says
he can't make it if not today.
What will you do?
It can't be helped.
DIRECTOR NOMINEE OF THE CIO
I'm Lee Kang-ho,
the chairman of this personnel hearing
for the first director nominee of the CIO.
DIRECTOR NOMINEE'S HEARING
DIRECTOR NOMINEE OF THE CIO
Before we begin the hearing, I'd like to say a word as the chairman.
First off, it's very meaningful
to hold this hearing
about our director nominee of the CIO
with many other assembly people.
It's Mom.
The Corruption Investigation Office,
-for High-ranking Officials... -Seung-goo.
I'm stepping outside.
Come back quickly so we can watch her together.
Okay. I'll be back soon.
Okay.
It investigates and indicts
crimes and corruption of high officials of grade three and above
and their close relatives.
The director of the CIO is given
a national mission
to political and prosecutory reform
by performing such duties.
Ms. Choi.
Yes.
Are you conservative or liberal?
I'm with the law and justice.
Stop playing with words and answer properly.
Are you conservative or liberal? Choose either one.
If you ask,
I've tried to be with the alienated weak until now.
But once I get appointed,
I'll side with the people who respect law and justice.
Next is Assemblyman Park Young-soo.
I'm Assemblyman Park Young-soo.
Your son, Han Seung-goo,
was exempt from military service, right?
Yes, for a fair reason.
Is the fair reason...
autism?
AUTISM LEVEL-3 DISABILITY
That's right.
All right.
He didn't even serve the military due to autism.
But look.
He openly runs a business.
Maybe you lied about his illness
to get him exempted.
Do you hear yourself?
Can't an autism patient run a business?
He's only asking a question.
That guy is too mean.
This is time to ask and answer.
So answer me, Ms. Choi.
My son...
has become an adult.
But he still has difficulties carrying out a social life with people.
Disabled people must have income in order to become independent.
That's why he started a business.
It was only possible with my husband's help from the start.
He's improved enough to run it by himself now.
And I am proud of my son.
PERSONNEL HEARING
Gosh, it needs to be boiled a little more.
What are you doing? We're drinking in the afternoon for a change.
Here, drink up.
Why?
Are you worried Young-geol might not show up?
Don't worry.
He always acts like he's busy.
How's your work coming along?
I shut shop.
Why?
I don't know. The Company told me to.
Because of what Yeon-soo visited you for?
I was going to close it anyway.
I retired years ago, and they keep making me
cover up for their messes.
What messes?
Don't look at me like that. I don't know anything.
Gosh, I have to survive on my meager pension now.
I need to marry my child off too.
Hold on.
DO YOUNG-GEOL
Hello? Where are you?
Where are you?
Hey, here. Right here.
What is this punk doing here?
What are you waiting for? Sit down.
I asked him to let me see you.
Why?
Have a seat first.
I'm not at your beck and call.
Goodness, look at the way you talk.
We just want to talk about the old days.
What are you doing?
You called him out, so pour him a drink.
Let me.
Don't try to pull a trick.
I have your leash
in my hand.
I know.
Right, let's not be too rigid.
Let's clink...
Your husband's name is Han Jung-hyun, right?
That's right, it's Han Jung-hyun.
All right.
Your husband has never paid any income tax until now.
Nor does he have any assets. Is he jobless?
-Sir... -Say it.
He is jobless, isn't he?
Why would he...
With all due respect, please watch what you say.
Jobless, really?
Don't be so rude.
This is my time to ask questions.
I called him jobless because that's what he is.
DIRECTOR NOMINEE CHOI YEON-SOO'S HEARING
Quiet down.
Ms. Choi, please answer.
Okay.
Sir.
More than 15 million housewives sacrifice themselves
for the social activities of their family members.
I believe you wouldn't consider them jobless.
CERTIFICATE OF INCOME
My husband, Han Jung-hyun, successfully raised our son and daughter.
I'm only grateful that I married someone like him.
So you wanted to see me?
Why?
Did your wife ask you to win me over?
Or...
now that she's about to be appointed,
are you afraid?
You're twisted!
Young-geol, this is only to build friendship.
Don't put things like that.
"Young-geol"?
Gosh!
You still are a poor judge of character.
I see.
Yes. Sure, Mr. Do.
Let me go to the bathroom.
Okay.
Darn it. What the...
Don't make a fuss over a small thing.
It's just water. Your pants are ruined.
Shouldn't you go wash them?
Hurry on.
It will dry up soon.
Goodness.
Here.
Darn it. What the...
Let go!

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IM HYUNG-RAK
Next is Assemblyman Yoo Sang-dong's turn.
I'm Assemblyman Yoo Sang-dong.
-Nominee Choi. -Yes.
Are you sure
you won't be a slave to power?
A slave to power?
There isn't much time.
Please simply answer.
yes or no?
I refuse to answer rude questions.
What did you say?
What's rude about this question?
It's because of the way you put things.
-The whole nation is watching. -We're here to ask questions.
Stay put!
Quiet down.
This is the hearing.
Fine, okay.
Okay.
Nominee Choi.
You know Kim Tae-yeol, right?
Chairman Kim Tae-yeol of the NCSR
led the anti-communism leftist forces.
From 1990 to 1991,
he was wanted for taking the lead in various violent protests.
For two years,
he coquetted the public power while on the most wanted list.
You met him then, didn't you?
-Yes. -Why didn't you report him?
I only followed the duty to keep my client's information a secret.
Your client?
Are you saying you were an attorney
of Kim Tae-yeol,
that ringleader of the leftist forces?
The Constitution states that anyone in Korea
has the right to an attorney.
You keep asserting your duty to maintain secrecy,
and his right to attorney.
According to Article 112 of the Criminal Procedure Law,
an attorney may report their client
if needed for significant public interests.
Don't you know?
Are you
still proud to have given legal advice to Kim Tae-yeol?
I am.
Oh, my!
I see you have
great faith in your client.
How impressive.
-Goodness. -Oh, my!
Is it the same for Kim A-soon, the North Korean defector?
-Pardon? -Put the photo up.
The former singer of Eunhasu Band in North Korea.
The spy who caused a ruckus in the country three years ago.
You don't know her?
-What? -What is this about?
Do you still think she isn't a spy?
Yes.
You're the one
who let this disguised North Korean spy
Kim A-soon, go around freely
in this country.
Well, Mr. Yoo.
She was cleared of the suspicion.
Right.
You helped her clear her name.
Right?
Yes, I defended her.
Are your wife and kids still in the Philippines?
Goodness, poor you.
It must cost a lot.
Since when did you care so much about me?
What is this punk doing after calling me out when I'm busy?
What? Where is it?
What?
My car key.
UNHAK-RI MOUNTAIN
Fine.
Please play this video.
DIRECTOR NOMINEE CHOI YEON-SOO'S HEARING
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IM HYUNG-RAK
I was sexually assaulted
by an agency owner in South Korea.
But the judge put me in jail, not him.
South Korea is a paradise only to the rich.
It's like a pit of fire to the poor.
I rotted in jail for three years.
The scenes in dramas were
-nowhere to be seen. -What...
I saw the real South Korea
with gold diggers all over the streets.
"I must survive.
I must escape from this pit of fire.
I must return immediately."
That's what I thought.
South Korea was...
disillusionment itself.
Stop. Stop the video.
I got this video clip
from a TV program in North Korea.
You know that woman, right?
Nominee Choi, who is that woman?
She's Kim A-soon.
Right.
She is Kim A-soon,
the woman you helped prove not guilty of being a spy.
That very woman returned to North Korea.
She's now humiliating our country like that.
How are you going to take responsibility?
Right. How will you take responsibility?
Say something.
How could you say that?
There is no direct proof of espionage.
The proof is right here!
She's a spy!
287 NONHYUN-RO GANGNAM-GO, SEOUL
Choi Yeon-soo, our hard effort
to establish the CIO is about to go to nothing even before its start.
I'm sorry. Give me some time.
Did you kill Cha Min-ho?
Did you kill him yourself,
Agent Do Young-geol?
Why did you kill him? Why?
Are you A-soon's mother?
Where is A-soon?
Jung-hyun, is this all because of me?
If A-soon is caught this time...
Choi Yeon-seo still follows Kim Tae-yeol.
What will she turn this country into?
What should we do about that woman?
Yes, sir.
What is Do Young-geol doing here?
Director Choi.
