Neighborhood’s Hero (동네의 영웅)

It's nice to see you, gentlemen.

Should they hear the fact that you ordered murder, three years ago?

Wait a second.

"Kill one of the agents, and cause a ruckus in the Hong Kong station."

Wasn't that the order that you gave?

Wait outside.

Are you with the police? I guess Yoon Sang Min started to spew nonsense.

I'm someone who was with Jang Jin Woo, when he died.

What the... You?

The man who had the memoir?

And this man had his daughter kidnapped, because of that memoir.

I'm... a police officer.

Do you understand?

You're all quite famous, so I know who all of you are.

Representative Kang Min Soo, is someone with whom we are already familiar.

What?

Ma Jin Seok, the president of Everyday Korea.

Lee Hyung Joon, Executive Director of San Ah Electronics.

And...

Everyone thinks you're living quietly, while working on your doctorate.

But what is this?

Politics, economics, finance... As well as Hong Gyu Man's connections.

With a network like that...

I guess you thought you could take money from common citizens with no problems.

And, you barged into our neighborhood and ruined the lives of our citizens!

- What is this bastard talking about? - One second.

He could be recording us. Be careful what you say.

We should have met three years ago.

If our mission wasn't aborted...

We would have stopped you from taking over Korean Commerce Bank.

You took over a bank that was chock full of the tax dollars of common citizens.

You guys sure did devour a lot of money.

You cut down on expenses through reconstruction and sold real estate.

And in the end...

You sold the bank at an a premium, and ran away.

It won't work this time.

We won't let you do the same thing with the Hallyu Core Mall.

Hong Gyu Man cannot become the prime minister.

And you... need to be taken to court for murder.

Do you understand?

And from now on...

Your efforts to kill Baek Shi Yoon...

Don't even dream about them.

The police...

should not be underestimated.

Wow...

Geez... We talked the talk.

But I don't know if kids on that level will be scared of our threats.

The reason why the mission in Macau was aborted three years ago...

Why my colleague, Jin Woo had to die...

Why everyone who wanted to tell the truth about it died, got hurt, or was fired...

I think I understand it now.

I'm sure they wanted to keep their identities from being revealed.

Those guys can get away with ordering murder, without a single consequence.

An enormous network is protecting them.

Can we really... catch those guys?

We have Yoon Sang Min in our hands.

If the case from three years ago comes back into the spotlight...

And if they all know it's us, it will be such a big chaos.

Our society, flipped upside down.

The entire country could be shaken up with this.

That's why, we have to deal with it, in advance.

Deal with it?

If something were to happen...

As someone who is more hidden from the attention of the public...

- You could take responsibility for it... - What are you talking about?

I was the one who took charge of all of the operations.

But now you want me to take the fall for everything?

If San Ah or Everyday Korea is tainted, wouldn't that become a national crisis?

If we think about the harm that will do to the stability of our economy...

- Hey! - That's enough!

This is about how your fathers overcame crises such as this one.

Attorneys were bribed with money.

Reporters were given scholarships.

Public officials were sent abroad for training programs.

All we have to do is bribe everyone we can reach.

Do you understand?

Yes.

I told you to bring me Chief Jung Soo Hyuk this time.

Chief Jung Soo Hyuk.

Geez, that man...

He should be here by now...

If you're here, come in.

Okay, get back to what you were doing.

Mr. President! Then our investigation...

Hey, they want to speak privately, so...

Come, come, come. This way, this way. Come on, come on.

Hey... Help me out...

They have a lot on me. I have no choice...

Do you think the Chief Director will be able to act freely?

He requested a reevaluation with the two pages of the memoir I gave him.

Let's trust him for now.

Shi Yoon! Shi Yoon...

We don't have a lot left to do... I just have to hold on a little longer.

Shi Yoon, are you okay?

Seo Ahn...

Jin Woo died three years ago...

And Seo Jun Suk and President Hwang were murdered.

All because of these people.

The only ones who can make them pay for what they did...

It's us.

The mission from three years ago... I guess we're starting over again.

First... we need to check if the Chief Director...

is actually on our side.

A witness-protection program?

Yoon Sang Min is on the fence right now. He's contemplating which side to take.

But those guys... They won't leave him alone.

Do you think Yoon Sang Min has the determination?

We will be able to catch a giant monster. The New York Study Group.

Lee Hyung Joon, Ma Jin Seok, Kang Min Soo...

And on top of that... Jung Yoon Chang.

This is... a very delicate matter.

We may end up having to see Yoon Sang Min be killed.

We must protect him, and put him in court as a witness.

You said our junior colleague died wrongfully, three years ago.

When I consider that, as the head of this organization, I'm very embarrassed.

Protect Yoon Sang Min.

Let's... confront this monster.

Once I'm gone, you will have to do all the dirty work.

Just tell me what you want.

What's wrong, Chief Jung?

I'm on your side.

We are both objects that will be thrown away once we are used up.

Just tell me what you want.

What do you want me to do, so that you won't bother our friends?

I'm telling you, that I don't want you to get hurt.

I only need to get revenge on Hong Gyu Man and New York Study Group.

I won't get you involved...

I will say that I received my orders from New York Study Group, directly.

My plan is only to catch them.

I will make it so that you were not a part of the ordering process.

Under what condition?

Cover up everything that I did.

"The suspects took orders from Hong Gyu Man and New York Study Group."

Tell the police that they gave a false statement.

That's your specialty.

Hong Gyu Man and the New York Study Group.

I want to get rid of them all.

Help me, Chief Jung.

I'll make sure...

to save you.

I heard that you're back in the running. Have you met with my father?

Yes, thanks to your help, I don't think there will be any problems.

I brought the memoir with me, and I explained it all.

Thank you... very much.

- Chief Jung? - Yes?

What were Yoon Sang Min's requests and conditions?

Chief Jung!

Hurry up and tell us, Chief Jung.

He only showed a desire to take his revenge on you.

He tried to convince me into helping him bring you down.

He wanted me to fabricate the case, giving you sole responsibility.

So, what did you say?

It wasn't worth listening to, so I just got up and left.

He refused to flee the country...

So that he could stay and stab us in the back?

This bastard came to Korea as a homeless beggar...

So we gave him work and made him rich. But now what do we do?

Let's end it now, Chief Jung.

Make him keep his mouth shut. Use any method that offers a guarantee.

- Deputy Kang... - Yes?

Once we get rid of Yoon Sang Min...

I'll probably be next, right?

There's no way.

When the end is so blatantly easy to see...

Is it right for me to follow my orders until the very end?

Or is it right for me to accept a proposal to survive together?

The work that you do...

It's to hold down the roots of the nation to keep the tree from being shaken. Yes?

The scary thing is...

No matter which side I choose...

I'm working for the bad guys.

Even if the hands get dirty... I still think it's a job in which to take pride.

Yes... is this because of Jung Yoon Chang?

Yes, sir. Huh?

We never... did anything to confront Jung Yoon Chang...

Why would we care about that?

Yes.

What did you think, after meeting my friends?

They're frightening, aren't they?

Will you be able to help me?

From now on, all you have to do, is confess to everything they did.

Through the agency's witness protection program, they'll protect you.

You'll be given a new name and identity, and we will stay away from you.

Do you really think so?

Will they allow that?

Those crazy dogs...

- Yes? - It's me, Chief Director.

I'm sorry...

But it seems like it's a little early for the witness-protection program.

What?

I don't know how they found out, but they're counteracting.

I'm in a compromised situation, but also, we need to think about the organization.

I told you it wouldn't be that easy...

They're scary people.

We'll do whatever it takes to bring them down.

And for that to happen, you must testify in court.

Wait a minute...

There's something I'm waiting for first.

Let's do things in the right order. I told Jung Soo Hyun to call me.
