EPISODE 2

Excuse me.

Hello...

Ms. Shibasaki?

Shit!

Black Pearl.

You've developed a foul mouth since we last met.

Bulgae...

You son of a bitch.

RESCUE EQUIPMENT BOX

Hands up and get up slowly.

I'd only heard rumors about you.

I never thought Bulgae would be a woman.

Don't try anything funny

and hand over the bag.

Check the bathroom.

- Boss. - What is it?

Damn it.

- Hey, Gong-bok. - Yes, sir.

Keep an eye on them

- and toss every room. - Yes, sir.

Well? Are you going to hand it over?

What the hell are you?

You're a man?

So you're not completely blind after all.

And you're supposed to be North Korea's top agent?

What the hell? That's just perverted!

Ever heard of an operational disguise?

I don't care if it's for an operation.

Damn it. When you lifted your leg...

How disgusting. I can't exactly fight with my eyes closed.

You could've at least shaved!

Are you all talk?

Enough talk and come at me.

You damn son of a bitch.

What are you doing?

Hurry and pull me up!

FIFTIES PROFESSIONALS

Damn it.

Who the hell are you, you bastard?

You bastard.

Uncle.

HEO NAM-IL, 64 HAGEUN-RO, YEONGSAN-GUN

Let's go.

You bastard.

What the hell...

HEAVEN HOTEL

IMCHEON DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

The only thing on the USB you gave us

was this CCTV footage, Prosecutor.

A ferry from 2016.

This article seems to be from around that time.

The footage and the gun...

What kind of person

builds a secret room just to hide things like this?

She was no ordinary civilian.

The pistol from that room

is a Russian model used by North Korean soldiers.

So, the dead woman was a North Korean soldier...

Is that what you mean?

But why would a woman like her commit suicide in our country?

Rather than a suicide

it's more likely she was murdered after being exposed in a NewTube video.

That's a more plausible theory.

It seemed like she was living in hiding.

Laying low

and going through the data here.

Let's start

by identifying the people in the CCTV footage.

We need to get the passenger list from the ferry.

Yes, ma'am.

Yes, this is Prosecutor Gang Yeong-ae.

Yes, Chief Prosecutor.

Right now?

Prosecutor Gang.

Are you out of your mind?

You just got transferred

and you're already reopening a closed case

that you decided on your own

to go to the scene?

When you go around stirring things up like that

do you know what they say about prosecutors?

That they're just giving hard-working cops the runaround!

Have you not heard that?

I have not.

I was not aware of that.

What? You weren't aware?

Oh, I am terribly sorry.

I guess I, once again, failed to read the room.

I let my eagerness get the better of me.

I am so very sorry

for causing you this trouble.

Whether it's a written reprimand or a pay cut

I'll accept it.

This one time...

I'll let it slide and take the blame.

But this case...

If I hear that Prosecutor Gang

is poking around again

I'll have you transferred to some backwater branch office.

Yes, sir.

I made sure she won't go

near the case again.

The new troublemaker

seems to have gotten a bit overzealous.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Well, I've already gotten the police on the same page.

What could possibly happen now?

I should be treating you to a meal in person

but it's election season.

Instead, tonight

I'll send my regards through Chief Baek.

All right.

Representative Kim Jung-hyeok is here.

- Show him in. - Yes, sir.

Goodness.

You've got a great view here, huh?

You can see all of Imcheon from up here.

It's quite a sight, isn't it?

You're too kind.

FLOOR LEADER OF THE SAEHANJIN PARTY, KIM JUNG-HYEOK

But you know, standing here like this

there's one thing I just don't understand.

Why would the great Han Gyeong-wook

give up this office with its amazing view

and be so desperate

to get into that run-down city hall building?

What's in it for you

being the mayor of some backwater town?

Besides, in Imcheon

Kim Seon-jung, who's also running

has the place on lock.

To go out of your way to turn down an easy path

and wade through filth

just to run in this election...

There must be a very good reason.

Why don't we sit and discuss it over some tea?

I just got some excellent tea in.

Look.

During election season

do you think you're the only one

inviting me for tea?

After you give me an answer

I'll decide whether or not to have that tea.

Well...

Your insight is truly unparalleled, sir.

Sir, have you ever

heard of Yeongseon Island?

Yeongseon Island?

You mean, because of one island

you started this whole thing?

Let me explain it in a way that's easy to understand.

Please, have a seat.

Yeongseon Island

is a bit far from the mainland

but with major Northeast Asian countries like China and Japan

it's a geographical strong point

perfectly optimized for maritime trade.

Its tourism resources aren't bad either.

The only downside is

it's tied up in too many regulations

for environmental and domestic protection.

Because of that, right now,

there's only one casino for locals barely operating.

But if we let wealthy foreigners run businesses there without regulations...

If we loosen what needs to be loosened

and turn a blind eye to what we must

what do you think will happen?

Yeongseon Island could easily

become the biggest pleasure island in Asia.

You don't mean...

- Already? - For tourism developers in Northeast Asia.

Yeongseon Island

is the perfect location to use as a business hub.

Many companies have already expressed their interest in participating.

If we sell off pieces of the island

we could generate a profit of about 25 trillion won.

25... 25 trillion?

With that kind of money

for you to become president in four years

wouldn't that be a good stepping stone?

Do you really think this will pan out the way you've imagined?

I mean, Kim Seon-jung will be tough to deal with.

If you would just give it a little push

wouldn't things go much more smoothly?

Oh, right. Is that tea ready?

I heard you got something special.

This was sold to China by Kim Jong-il during the Arduous March.

It's a bronze ewer.

I acquired it through a connection from my time at the NIS.

If you'll allow me

I'd like to present it to you as a gift.

Will you accept it?

This is the woman Kim Jung-hyeok has been seeing lately.

He gifted her a three-story café building in Gangnam behind his family's back

and it looks like there was some tax evasion involved.

We need that to keep a leash on the old geezer
