Neighborhood’s Hero (동네의 영웅)

Who are you waiting for?

JJ?

I wonder why Park Seon Woo isn't here yet...

For everything to be solved, Park Seon Woo has to be here.

I wonder why he isn't here...

Don't worry. I won't do anything to you.

We're in front of the police station.

Where is JJ?

Just because you're curious about something...

That doesn't mean you should be tapping our phones. Right?

JJ...

is the man who killed my colleague in Macau, three years ago.

Did you order him to do it?

If not...

Jung Soo Hyuk?

Showing that you have an imagination is a good thing...

But you won't win, no matter how hard you try.

Think about it.

You appeared right in front of me, just like I planned.

Give me JJ.

If you don't...

Your friends...

New York Study Group... I'll dig deeper and deeper.

If I do that... For whom will it cause more trouble?

Do I look like someone who cares about what his friends think?

Should we talk about New York?

When I was young and living in New York, I headed a gang called KTC.

We favored the use of guns and knives...

We were quite famous.

From now on, if you disrupt me, even in the slightest bit...

You... and your family...

And Seo Ahn, was it?

You'll leave me no choice other than to go back to my old self.

What are you doing here?

This is not a warning.

This is a promise that it will happen.

If you stand in my way, one more time.

Detective Im.

Is Park Seon Woo on his way to Gangjoong Police Station, as planned?

Wait, why isn't he here yet?

I called the intelligence agency. They said they're checking on it.

- Who did you talk to? - The front desk.

You should have called somebody on the staff!

How would I know who to talk to at the intelligence agency?

Sir, why don't you call them? You know people of high ranking.

- Who? - Jung Soo Hyuk.

The one you gave all kinds of information.

Hey, what are you talking about? Hey... come on, man!

Hey, Im Tae Ho. Why are you here?

I removed you from your position, so you can rest well at your home.

Why are you frowning?

Okay, okay, okay.

Park Seon Woo... escaped while he was being transported...

And committed suicide, near Seoul.

What?

His suicide note... has finally arrived.

"No matter how patriotic I was..."

"Seo Jun Suk, Hwang Sang Ok, Joo Il Moon..."

"The fact that I independently planned and orchestrated their murders"

"is very hard to swallow, and I regret it very much."

"I can't explain my actions either."

"I may have been suffering from a deep depression..."

Hey! Why are you standing there? Why aren't you leaving?

All the officers are here.

Hello, everyone.

I'm here from the intelligence agency.

I'm here... to ask you for a favor.

None of you... have ever investigated Park Seon Woo before.

Also, we never took him away for an internal investigation.

As soon as Park Seon Woo was stuck within your grasp...

He simply chose to do, what was most likely of him to do.

Saying that...

will prevent unnecessary doubts and assumptions from the public.

I'm not asking you to cover anything up.

And I'm not asking you to let a criminal go.

For our national security...

I'm asking... for your cooperation.

I didn't know it would end with suicide...

But weren't you helping with his investigation, from the very beginning?

With that confidential document.

I'm thankful...

But... I don't understand.

At the very start, why did you lie to our president to find that memoir?

Was it really a suicide?

If was really suicidal...

he would have done it as soon as our team had him cornered.

But why would he do it after the investigation went into full swing?

Oh, everyone's together.

Who's this?

She's my junior colleague.

Oh, from the intelligence agency?

Oh, geez... Back to what I was saying on my way in...

Can you pretend like you never heard it?

I was just making up stories, yeah...

So... my theories have no basis... yeah...

It's okay, Detective Im.

She's one that I trust.

Meet Detective Im, who I've been telling you about.

Oh... Oh, yes.

I have something to show you.

The transporting team swapped, all of a sudden.

To Chief Jung Soo Hyuk's team.

And the new team allowed this to happen.

When I heard his suicide note...

It felt as though his goal was to take responsibility for everything by himself.

Do you think that his suicide note...

Is real?

Hold on. Did you follow me here?

Wow... You're swift...

Oh, I forgot. I need to make a phone call.

Deputy Kim Seo Ahn. Do you really have to go this far?

Meeting the man that I love, is against the rules as well?

After you took Park Seon Woo, what did you do with him?

You're going to make up fake stories about this anyway.

Tailored to what you want to believe.

Look at Park Seon Woo...

Look at what happened to him, after he lived by the wrong ideals.

Shouldn't you be by Baek Shi Yoon's side at all times?

Yes, sure...

But... What's going to happen with the cell phone store?

My father said that nobody has contacted him yet.

Focus on your own duties first.

Seo Ahn...

You've done as much as you can.

Go back to your post.

We don't know what Jung Soo Hyuk is going to do.

For the time being, spend your days at the agency, quietly.

Please.

Considering that you just showed us that video...

We understand that you genuinely want to help us.

I trusted Chief Jung Soo Hyuk.

He told me that we needed to find the memoir in order to protect Shi Yoon.

But it was all a lie.

What Chief Jung wants...

is to cover up what happened three years ago.

And to get rid of Shi Yoon.

I was utilized with those intentions in mind.

Using people and disposing of them, is what Jung Soo Hyuk does.

I have no desire to stay at the agency.

But, instead...

I want to check on something before I leave.

I want to check that Jung Soo Hyuk is the bad one...

And that everything I've believed, is true.

Shi Yoon, you're searching for the truth outside of the agency.

So I'll search for the truth inside of the agency.

That's the only way...

for me to be sure that I'm doing the right thing.

I started working.

I'm just worried, because there hasn't been any word about the store.

Hey, don't pester him about it.

We shouldn't burden someone who is trying to help us like this.

But, Father...

Are you sure that you need that cell phone store?

It's not like we were starving ourselves before this popped up.

I'm doing this for your brother!

I want your brother to live a good life!

Okay, you're right then. Have a good night.

Who is it?

Open up, Chan Gyu.

You're not sleeping yet?

Let's have a drink.

Geez...

I couldn't go straight home.

Because of Representative Park Seon Woo?

I'm sure... the only feelings you have towards him are filled with hate.

I'm not sure...

I'm not sure either.

Money's the best, isn't it?

You like money that much? Are you happy?

You greedy leech!

Take it and leave. Take it! Leave!

If there's a chance... even the slightest chance...

that everything to this point, has been some kind of house of cards...

and if someone like Jung Soo Hyuk manipulated us all...

I want to know... how cruel that person truly must be.

What? You're finished drinking?

Yes.

Thank you for coming.

Can I spend the day at your bar again?

I have nowhere else to go.

- Detective Im. - Yes?

Our opponents are beginning to cross the line.

Chief Jung Soo Hyuk took Park Seon Woo out of the picture.

And Yoon Sang Min was waiting, where Park Seon Woo was supposed to be.

That means Jung Soo Hyuk and Yoon Sang Min are making their move.

They're using public institutions, money, and violence, all at once and together.

And anyone who poses a threat to them, like Park Seon Woo, they get rid of.

I will be their next target.

So, when that happens, everyone around me will be in danger.

Writer Bae and Chan Gyu could get hurt.

The same goes for you too.

So what are you going to do?

We have to get Writer Bae and Chan Gyu out of this.

They must never come near me.

We've all become so close.

Please help me, Detective Im.

Out of all of us, you're the oldest.

Push them out...

But there was a time that you two worked together...

Don't you want to try to understand him?
