After Prosecutor General Lee Tae Joon

is jeopardized by the secret fund scandal,

he tries to pin the blame on Jung Hwan

who will die soon.

I've only lived my life once,

but they get to live theirs two or three times.

I'll just take one step forward.

Tae Joon placates Yoon Ji Sook

over her son's conscription corruption to get her to be

the special prosecutor of Park Jung Hwan Gate.

If you go like this, you'll be held responsible for the

$27 million of Park Jung Hwan Gate.

As a last resort, Jung Hwan

makes Tae Joon doubt Gang Jae.

If they have a video file of Jo Gang Jae's testimony...

Mr. Prosecutor General, It'll be the worst case scenario.

Eventually, Tae Joon tries to arrest

Gang Jae by using the Special Prosecution.

Jung Hwan.

This is so unfair to me.

More than to me?

I'm leaving,

but you get to stay.

Let's catch Lee Tae Joon

before I go.

Breaking news.

The hideout of the mastermind behind the $27 million

of Park Jung Hwan Gate, Jo Gang Jae, has been discovered.

Jo Gang Jae has escaped from police

by staying at a motel in the Seoul suburbs.

The Special Prosecution Investigators swooped on him,

but failed to arrest him.

Special Prosecution expects that Jo Gang Jae

will appear at the press conference

as Park Jung Hwan noted.

[Expected to reveal the real use of the $27 million at conference]

It will be a closed press conference

with a limited number of presses.

The Digital Forensic Center of SPO restored

the missing ten minutes of Jo Gang Jae's interrogation.

Okay.

Let's see what Gang Jae said.

The cash I recovered at the scene...

You said it was for the driver's wife

and the police officer on duty heard you.

If you're silent now,

it'll only prove what you said.

I know you know better

since you're a lawyer.

Let's begin.

I've lived my life for the prosecutor general.

I'll trust him

to the end.

After that,

Jo Gang Jae didn't say a word

until the Special Prosecution investigators appeared.

Rewind it.

I've lived my life for the prosecutor general.

I'll trust him

to the end.

Even when the prosecutor general gave you hot rice

and gave me cold rice,

I only blamed you, not him.

The $80,000 you gave the driver's wife.

When and where did you get it?

When you got tipped a dollar,

I only got fifty cents, Jung Hwan.

I liked the prosecutor general,

so I trusted him.

How do you comfort Ye Rin like this?

Prosecutor General Lee Tae Joon

said the prosecutor's office will cooperate in arresting Jo Gang Jae.

[Prosecutor General Lee Tae Joon promises cooperation]

Last year on December 23th

at the prosecutor general's office,

I received the $80,000 in fifty dollar bills

directly from the prosecutor general.

Lee Tae Joon and you

were the only ones in the office

when the money was exchanged

and it was even in cash.

We only have a claim, not evidence.

Let's go back to the beginning.

Everything started with Lee Tae Sub

murdering that researcher.

Lee Tae Sub is dead

and the researcher's murder case remains unsolved.

Prosecutor General Lee Tae Joon

ordered a cover-up for his brother,

Lee Tae Sub's murder case...

On that day

at a restaurant in Insa-dong...

That's right.

You saw me there.

When I went to meet the prosecutor general,

he was with Lee Tae Sub.

You pushed the researcher

off the roof of Myungin Resort?

What should I do now?

Mr. Prosecutor General,

this is a murder case.

The arrest rate for murderers

is over 95%, right?

Can you

make sure this is part of the 5%?

On the day Lee Tae Sub murdered the researcher,

Lee Tae Joon met you with him

to order you to cover it up.

That's still a claim.

We need evidence.

We need evidence to prove Lee Tae Sub was there.

Jung Hwan.

I have evidence.

That'll be $240.

Hey.

Let me take care of it.

Lee Tae Sub paid the bill

at the restaurant.

Ha Gyung.

Secure a breakdown of Lee Tae Sub's credit card use.

We have an hour left.

I'll go to the press conference directly.

I've found the press conference venue.

It's a restaurant in Insa-dong.

Call Yoon Ji Sook.

Tell her to send investigators

and get Gang Jae out

before it begins. Hurry up.

Yes.

The venue of the press conference was exposed.

You have to change the venue now.

We stick to the plan.

Special Prosecution will crash the conference.

Yeon Jin.

The conference has already started.

What is this?

Who are they?

I'm the former Anti-Corruption Department director,

Jo Gang Jae.

For the last twenty years,

I've dedicated my life to the nation

and I've stood up against injustice as a faithful prosecutor.

I've never done anything shameful.

The $80,000 I delivered to the driver's wife

on December 23rd last year

I received directly from Prosecutor General Lee Tae Joon.

This case all started

when Lee Tae Sub, CEO of Ocean Capital at the time,

murdered a researcher of Sejin Auto,

Yang Sang Ho.

On the day of the murder, the prosecutor general asked me

to come to the restaurant where the press is now.

The prosecutor general was having a meeting

with Minister Yoon Ji Sook at the time.

He briefly left the meeting

and ordered me to cover up Lee Tae Sub's murder case.

I have evidence to prove

that CEO Lee Tae Sub was at the restaurant.

The prosecutor's office is a top-down organization.

As a soldier can't disobey a superior officer's order,

and I couldn't disobey the prosecutor general.

The $80,000 the prosecutor general

used to cover up his brother's murder case

is a part of the $27 million

which is currently under investigation

by Special Prosecution.

I assure you confidently

that this money is not related to Jung Hwan.

I can swear it on the honest life

I've lived until now.

Citizens,

please reveal the truth.

Okay.

I'll order jjajangmyeon for you.

Come before the noodles get soggy.

I mixed it for you. Eat.

Wow.

You mixed it well for me.

Jung Hwan.

Where is Gang Jae?

You seem very frustrated.

You're asking me a question

you know I won't answer.

Jung Hwan.

Why did you become a prosecutor?

My drunkard father

died

in a ditch.

My illiterate mother

stamped her seal on a debt guarantee document

without knowing it,

so we lost our small house because of her.

My mother

got sick over it

and kept telling me until the day she died,

"Tae Joon."

"Study hard and become a prosecutor."

"You should be successful to avoid having an unfair life"

You tell me the same story every year.

I'm sick of it now.
