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
Oh, I see
- 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
What's wrong with you, Mr. Jeong? 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? - Oh
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? Goodness
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
Oh, 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. Oh, wait
Is it okay for him to use the restroom?
Thank you for the snack again
- Enjoy - Okay. Gosh, it's heavy
"Director's Office, Secretariat"
"Office of Security Chief" "Security Office"
- 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 Jeong Cheol-hun
- 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
Since Director Choi must be tired
why don't we have chicken and beer without her?
Oh. 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 an 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"
Oh. 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
For goodness' sake
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
I see, 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
Goodness, the Blue House from 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 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. Goodness
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?
Goodness, 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
Oh, 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 case 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-gyu"
Hey, Suk-gyu
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 put that look on your face
I'm not giving this to you for free
Alright, goodness!
Do you see...
Lee Suk-gyu every now and then?
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
Here I go
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?
Well... I don't know
"Random Internet Cafe"
- Come with us - Come on!
Alright, 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. Alright
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, hey
You crazy jerk What bears what?
You're talking crap
You... Gosh
- Let go of me, you jerks! - My goodness
You're so drunk in broad daylight
Your debt!
Pay your debt
Debt?
My debt?
Gosh
Why didn't you tell me that earlier?
Alright, 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, Boss
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
Make her stand
Alright
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
Gosh, my nose
Guys. Hey, guys. Alright
Follow me, guys
- Follow me - Darn it
Yoon-joo
Are you okay?
Suk-gyu?
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
"Go Yoon-joo"
"Director Choi Yeon-soo"
"Five days before D-Day" "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?"
"The Blue House is flustered by the rumor"
"that Chief Secretary Kim committed bribery"
"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 haggard
Did you watch the news?
The ink on your certificate of appointment hasn't even dried yet
I can't believe this is happening
We don't know whether or not it's true
- Mom! I shot 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? - Goodness
- 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's nicely done - Gosh, thank you
You have no other intention?
You didn't answer your phone
- See you - 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 were to hand your photos with him over
to the media you could've 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 cold-hearted brat
- Let's go, Jung-hyun - Okay
"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 gosh, 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. Jeong - 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
Do Young-geol, this rat
"287 Nonhyun-ro, Gangnam-go, Seoul"
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 - Oh, 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, welcome
- Grandpa - Goodness
Goodness, my pumpkins
- Welcome, let's go inside - We're here
Welcome. Park the cars
- Sure - Let's go in
Come along
Who is he?
