Lee Tae-geon! Stop right there!

Lee Tae-geon!

Where's Lee Tae-geon?

I lost him.

I'll call the police first.

-Then, I'll go get the recorder back. -Okay.

OKCHEON BUILDING

What do we do about her?

Do-kyung.

Don't concern yourself. Just make sure you secure the recorder.

-He stole a recorder and ran off… -I see.

Hello?

This is Lee Tae-geon.

I've secured the recorder.

He took

the recorder.

They're the Four Dragons Gang.

I know them well because I put them behind bars.

When I decided to look into you,

someone said

I'd be able to hear about you if I went to Chinatown.

There,

I heard you took bribes from the gang in exchange for protection.

That you were more vicious than the gang to the small business owners.

See you.

The person who sent me there…

was Yang Byung-il.

First off…

let's look for Lee Tae-geon again.

I'd better meet the owner of the Red House in Chinatown.

He lied to me about you.

That means he's connected to them.

We barely got our hands on that recorder.

It's gone again.

But compared to when we didn't even get a glimpse of it,

there's hope.

Whoever raised you must be so proud.

I learned from my father.

He's a remarkable man, you see.

The recorder?

Yes, I told Lee Tae-geon to take it from them.

Why did you…

Where is it?

He has it with him,

but I can't reach him. He must be on the run.

I told you to let me know as soon as you found the recorder!

Why are you getting so worked up?

It's not like you killed anyone.

Do-kyung.

Yes, I know.

Finding the recorder is all good.

But the process matters more than the result itself.

It's not good to cause this kind of ruckus.

Hurry and handle it quietly.

Yes, Father.

I'll tell him to bring it over once I hear from him.

Father.

Is there anything you're still hiding from me?

What are you saying?

It could be anything.

If there is, please tell me now.

I said no. Stop asking the same question and get out!

Goodness.

It's been a long time, Chairman Yang.

Chief Judge Choi.

We must find Yoon Dae-myeong's recorder.

Who has it?

Lee Tae-geon.

I'll send some trustworthy police officers.

I can't seem to loosen my grip.

Maybe I'll starve myself.

You said you run on food.

Or maybe I should just snap my wrist.

You want to beat me that much? Why do you want to win so much?

Because I like winning.

Winners survive in the end.

You know how they say the process matters more than the result?

Those are just empty words to make you feel good.

I rather like those empty words, though.

The result is brief, but the process lasts long.

And through that tough process, you learn lessons, gain insight,

and grow up sometimes.

Is that right?

This is why

I like you, Prosecutor Shin.

You're pure, and that's very rare these days.

Cheers.

You're the one who survived…

but you still seem anxious.

THE RED HOUSE

Mr. Park,

did you make sure to check it isn't salty?

Yes, of course. It's not salty at all.

Yes?

Oh, sure.

I understand. Please enjoy.

Hello, sir.

I'm Attorney Shin I-rang. I visited you regarding Prosecutor Shin Gi-jung before.

Oh, hello.

Why don't we talk upstairs?

Please follow me.

You said Prosecutor Shin

preyed on the small business owners with the Four Dragons Gang, right?

You lied, didn't you?

Someone threatened you to lie to us.

No.

No one threatened me.

What are you talking about?

I asked those who ran businesses here for a long time.

They said Prosecutor Shin rounded up the whole gang

so that they could serve some good time.

Mr. Attorney.

Please.

What…

Why are you shaking so much, sir?

I don't know anything.

Please… leave for now.

Sir.

Trust us and tell us the truth.

Did someone make you do it?

Was it Lee Tae-geon, that nutcase?

Hey.

What?

You must be the Four Dragons Gang,

given how pissed you are.

Attorney Shin,

they're holding weapons.

Yes, I know.

I-rang.

Rare item, obtained.

Attorney Shin, don't take that with you.

Oh, right. My bad.

Finding out that Lee Tae-geon plans to flee the country tonight is a big win.

The problem is that we don't know which port it is.

Flee the country, huh?

It's a long time ago,

but the gang used to have two major sources of income.

CHINATOWN, STASH HOUSE

Protection money from the business owners in Chinatown,

and illegal human smuggling at Incheon Inner Harbor.

Lee Tae-geon might…

INCHEON INNER HARBOR

…choose to take a safe route,

Incheon Inner Harbor.

Then, let's go there

to get Lee Tae-geon.

Wait five minutes after departure and knock three times.

Then, the captain will open the doors.

Fine.

Got it. You can go now.

Wow.

There are so many containers.

How are we going to find him here?

All the doors are locked too.

You have me.

That's so cool.

What is it?

My dad just went in there.

I'll go this way.

Attorney Han.

Call me as soon as you find anything suspicious.

I will.

Be careful.

Hurry up.

I'm dying to pee.

Hey, Captain. Where are we?

Isn't it obvious?

You're on the road to hell.

What?

You gonna use that thing?

Let's go.

What… What is this?

W-What are you trying to do, bastard?

W-What do you think you're doing, punk?

What…

Who are you? Damn it!

Me?

Prosecutor Shin Gi-jung.

Lee Tae-geon.

Did you think you'd get away safely after making a mess in my son's office?

It can't be…

Shin Gi-jung?

No…

Shin Gi-jung was killed back then.

I couldn't rest in peace with you here, so I came back.

The recorder.

Where is it?

Screw you, ghost.

I have no reason to tell you.

If you don't,

you'll be companions with me.

Want to join me?

What?

Fine.

Making a water ghost friend doesn't sound so bad.
