Don't do anything unnecessary.

I knew you didn't play by the rules,

but I didn't know you were so stubborn.

Explain to me...

what your relationship with Jeffery is.

He wants to use me.

And I want to get rid of him.

You say that, but your relationship seems so solid.

That's right.

It's very solid...

and sturdy.

That's because I have...

built it up that way until now.

I was a mere assemblyman...

from a small political party without allies or influence.

But at first,

I thought I could handle a guy like him...

with the power that I had.

I'll help too.

I'll help you in your fight, Reporter Shin.

But it didn't take long to figure out the reality.

Candidate Yoo Kwang Min, who placed first in the presidential election,

has been accused of benefiting unfairly...

through manipulating stock prices.

Does it still seem like I am playing around?

"He's not someone a mere assemblyman can handle."

"I will need a stronger power."

So you decided to become president?

Even by joining hands with him?

That day,

he said this to me.

You know better than anyone else, Assemblyman.

That you're the best option for this nation.

For what's best for the nation,

you voluntarily become the worst.

I made up my mind then.

As he said,

I would gladly become evil.

So,

I would disappear along with that evil.

I will take full responsibility for this incident,

and furthermore, I will diligently partake in the investigation...

as a suspect in the case from this point onward...

so that all those involved in this incident...

may also face punishment.

Sacrifice is inevitable when standing up to a great evil.

Now, I want to...

ask you something, Ha Ri.

Kang Ha Ri,

are you really...

ready to make a sacrifice?

The person behind this...

was someone I've worked with for a long time.

NQ Infra Capital's CEO...

Jeffery Jung.

Jeffery Jung?

Did he say "Jeffery Jung?" - He's famous.

CEO Jeffery Jung of NQ and I have a long history.

CEO Kang Do Young of Meta Scarlet...

who defrauded people with NFTs,

CEO Kim Yun Gi of KU Entertainment...

who threatened the celebrities he represented and dealt illegal drugs,

and Director Baek Hyun Mi of Baek Gallery...

who used expensive pieces of art as items for sale...

to bribe prosecutors and influential people.

I worked with all these criminals under the orders of Jeffery Jung.

What on earth is going on?

- Jeffery Jung and I... - Why is he saying he did all that?

Was he threatened?

No.

If he had been threatened, he wouldn't have said...

he had worked with Jeffery.

That's right.

Hey, Soo Min.

Didn't Ha Ri say anything by any chance?

Hang on.

Wait.

President Choi Sang Ho resigned from his post.

What?

Let me see that.

CEO Kang of TVS will arrive in 15 minutes.

Let them go on talking when no one can hear them.

Call President Hwang too.

I'll have him get into a locked safe.

Yes, sir.

Sir.

Goodness.

- What's all this? - Gosh, no.

You helped me with a huge project this time.

Goodness, even still...

About the privatization of the capital railway company...

It was something our CEO really wanted.

Please tell the CEO...

that I'm always grateful.

He will be in touch with you soon...

along with those who helped this time.

This feed is spreading nationwide.

Why, these little...

He may be the great Jeffery Jung,

but he won't be able to stop a scandal of this scale.

Still, why would they sacrifice themselves...

I once asked Mr. Choi...

the same question before.

Mr. President.

Why are you trying to take the blame for everything like this?

The president is meant to apologize and take responsibility for things.

And that was why...

I rose to this position.

A band of evil has been eating away at the nation for a long time.

Their wrongdoing and responsibility are my own.

But if you think about it, that Kang Ha Ri fellow...

is quite an interesting guy.

At first, I thought he'd only think about himself as a con man.

But look at what he's doing now.

Soo Min!

Soo Min. I know what's happening.

I figured it out.

I bet even you didn't know about this, Mr. Hwang.

Let me explain. So I think Ha Ri...

and President Choi Sang Ho...

That they planned this together?

What? Did you know about this too, Mr. Hwang?

I just told her everything.

I see.

I told you they probably knew, didn't I?

Seriously. You guys always make a fuss.

All right. If you're done assessing the situation,

let's get started.

And go where?

We must catch Jeffery.

And we must bring back Ha Ri too.

She's right.

I bet those guys would do anything to weasel their way out of this.

I can't watch them get away with this again.

Let's end them.

Seriously. I was behind it.

If you run your mouth again and deviate from my plan,

that will be the end of you.

Did you hear that?

Gosh, I'm hungry.

I'm starving. Goodness.

I got your point. Can't I at least have some food?

I'm starving to death.

Investigator Kim!

Yes, sir.

Order some food for this jerk.

Food?

You know the gukbap restaurant near here? Order it from there.

Right. Get me extra kimchi, please.

Sir.

- Here's the food. - There it is!

- Gosh. I'll go out for a cigarette. - Goodness.

Give me a cigarette.

- Keep an eye on him. - Yes, sir.

I feel like I can finally breathe again.

Thank you for the food. Gosh.

Hold on.

Did I eat too fast?

I need to use the restroom.

Hurry.

Goodness. I must've eaten it too fast.

Which one is empty?

Come on. Hey, make it quick.

I can't do my business with the handcuffs. Hurry.

- Gosh. Over here. - Please hurry.

There's no bidet here?

Why are you asking for a bidet?

- Gosh. - Okay.

Yes, sir.

Investigator Kim. Where are you?

Me?

I took Kang Ha Ri to the restroom.

You didn't have time to prepare the case file I asked for.

But you had time to follow him to the restroom.

The case file?

I see.

So I guess I'm stubbornly asking you to give me the case file...

you have no memory of.

I guess I'm going on a power trip.

I must have put you in a tight spot!

You know what? I should take the bar exam again!

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...

I'm sorry, sir.

I took care of it.

Kang Ha Ri is on the run?

Then catch him and bring him to me immediately.

There's been a change in the schedule.

Our flight is canceled.

Authorization for any planes departing...

from a private airfield to cross the borders has been suspended.

The only option they have now is to stow away.

I'm glad that we live on a peninsula at times like this.

How is it going with you guys?

I'm perfectly fine.

See you later.

At the press conference, he admitted...

to the allegation of creating a slush fund yesterday at noon.

President Choi Sang Ho announced that he would resign.

But he was found murdered.

The recent turn of events has immensely shocked the public.
