Again My Life (어게인 마이 라이프)

(All people, locations, organizations, institutions, and events...)

(that are mentioned and depicted in this drama are fictitious.)

(Kim Hee-woo, a righteous but powerless prosecutor)

(He tries to catch Cho Tae Sub, the absolute evil, but he gets killed.)

(The Grim Reaper gives him a second chance in life.)

(Through his memories, he predicts the future,)

(acquires wealth, strength, and power.)

(And he's gradually tightening Cho Tae Sub's breath...)

- You're here. - Yes, sir.

What's the matter?

I told Hee Woo what to do.

Jang Il Hyun will be arrested soon.

Mr. Jang?

Does it mean you're deserting him, sir?

No, I'm just giving him a little beating.

As you know,

he has a lot to offer, so it'd be a shame to just ditch him.

Besides, I've known him for years.

There's something I need you to do while Il Hyun is...

reflecting on himself.

Because of Mirae Electronics, there are many nuisances to deal with.

We need a scapegoat who will take the fall for what we did.

Get Jeon Seok Kyu.

We let him transfer back to Seoul, but he's hiding his claws.

We do not know when he'll reveal his ambition,

given that he was investigating Jang Il Hyun and Sung Jin Mi.

A dummy company set up by Jeon Il Bo at Mirae Electronics...

sent money to this borrowed-name account on a regular basis.

- Take this... - I'll make sure...

it's found in his possession.

Do you think you can pull it off?

- Yes, sir. - This stays between you and me.

Be careful.

Yes, sir.

- You're here. - Yes.

So? What's up?

Chief Kim Seok Hoon ordered me to take down Jang Il Hyun.

Kim Seok Hoon wants to take down Jang Il Hyun?

- And he asked you to do it? - Yes.

He wants his right-hand man...

to be handled by a junior prosecutor who's close to him?

I suppose he doesn't want to see Prosecutor Jang fall hard?

It's all for show.

It means he doesn't actually want to arrest him.

Right.

Then it means he'll need someone...

to take the bullet in Jang Il Hyun's stead.

For some reason, I'm getting a feeling that...

No way.

No, it's highly likely.

You dug deep into the shameful deeds done by Jang Il Hyun,

Kim Seok Hoon's right-hand man.

My career as a prosecutor has been truly eventful, to say the least.

I bet Kim Seok Hoon doesn't want Jang Il Hyun to be arrested.

He just wants to warn him a little.

But...

what can I do? I've already been ordered to take him down.

Therefore,

I must get him.

What is this?

Go over it first, and we'll talk.

You bought an apartment for your eldest son...

who's getting married.

- How did you get this? - Fascinating, isn't it?

Without taking a single penny out of your account,

you somehow bought this apartment in Gangnam.

I bought it with the money I had loaned to a friend of mine...

Come on.

You can't fool a prosecutor with a blatant lie like that.

Sorry?

Read the rest.

(Bank transactions, Incoming payments from Kim Soo Hwan)

What do you say? Now, you get the situation, right?

One of Hosan Chemicals' subcontractors...

put down the deposit and paid the rest.

Now, aren't you curious?

The reason I came here myself...

instead of summoning you to the Prosecutors' Office.

What's your guess?

What do you want?

You know Prosecutor Jang Il Hyun, right?

I need records of the deposits Hosan has made to his account.

Mr. Prosecutor, I was told that Prosecutor Jang is backed...

by the Chief of the Central District Prosecutors' Office.

Correct.

The Chief of the Central District Prosecutors' Office sent me here,

so...

I suggest you choose your side wisely.

I got the records. You can get started.

Who are you people?

Prosecutor Ji Sung Ho, Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.

Ms. Sung, we're here to execute this search and seizure warrant.

Get out at once.

Do you know who you're dealing with here?

Of course, we do.

Sung Jin Mi, the chairwoman of Gukdae Arts Foundation.

We ask for your cooperation.

What are you waiting for? Get moving!

We're taking everything related to the foundation!

Il Hyun, what's going on?

What?

Okay, give me some time. I'll take care of it.

Yes, I heard you. I'll deal with them!

Just give me some time.

(Criminal Investigation Division 5, Chief Jeon Seok Kyu)

After the search and seizure on the foundation,

you're even ransacking Sung Jin Mi's home now?

Bravo.

I'll arrange a dinner meeting with Chief Kim this week.

So I need your promise.

My promise?

Gukdae Arts Foundation?

I have nothing to do with them.

And if you're trying to figure out which horse to bet on,

pick one and stick with it.

I know nothing about the case involving the foundation.

Investigate further, and you'll find out. Sung Jin Mi...

was engaged in various illegal activities even before she met me.

Mr. Jang, you're paying for the dinner, right?

You bet.

I loved you,

Sung Jin Mi.

- Prosecutor Jang Il Hyun. - Yes?

You're under arrest on charges of accepting bribes.

What?

You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney.

Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Hey, have you lost your mind? Don't you know who I am?

Cooperate, or you'll be charged with obstruction of justice as well.

Shut it, you little... Who is behind this?

Kim Hee Woo?

Let go of me. I said, let go. Hey! You little...

How dare you. Do you realize who you're dealing with here?

Don't you dare mess with me!

I should've introduced myself sooner, sir.

I've heard a lot about you from Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo.

He told me that you took good care of him back in school.

Hee Woo said that?

I did watch out for him so he'd have it easy in school.

What's up? Why did you want to speak with me out of the blue?

Well, I was just wondering...

You know that Mr. Jang Il Hyun and I are quite close, right?

There was a bit of a commotion in the hallway earlier. What happened?

I heard you were always in the know.

I'm surprised you're asking me this question.

As they say, you can't see what's right under your nose.

Kim Hee Woo, you jerk! What do you think you're doing?

You're being recorded. Please calm down, sir.

Sit down.

I had no choice.

You'd better tell me exactly what's going on.

The higher-ups ordered me to investigate you.

I really can't wrap my head around this.

Why did Chief Kim decide to ditch me?

Because I tried to cover up the case involving the foundation?

Did Jeon Seok Kyu rat me out?

Answer me at once!

This is only my guess,

The recent events ignited public disapproval of the prosecution.

The public lost faith in us because of the college girl murder.

Then Mirae Electronics' case was all over the news.

To make matters worse,

you tried to cover up the corruption behind the Gukdae Arts Foundation.

I believe the series of events got on Chief Kim's nerves.

What?

That's why he's ditching me?

He wants to use me as a sacrifice to earn back the public's trust?

I'm sorry, sir.

I have to get back to work.

Please excuse me.

What?

Hey.

The job's done, sir.

When do you plan to set it off?

How about tomorrow?

Before the media begins to dig into Il Hyun's case.

Yes. People will forget all about it...

as soon as they hear of a new scandal.

The sooner, the better.

The hero who led the investigation in Gimsan...

turned out to be a corrupt prosecutor.

I have someone who has agreed to be a witness.

Although I will need your help with the logistics.

Don't worry about that.

Make a move before Kim Hee Woo does.

Yes, sir.

- My apologies, sir. - It's okay. Answer it.

Hey.

What?

A press briefing?

Will you be okay?

Yes, I don't care.

That lunatic.

That little...

I need to talk to you.

Maybe some other time. I'm busy right now.

Someone left me a gift in my office.

I looked into it, and it was one of your investigators.

Did someone ask for my head?

I have no idea what you're talking about right now.
