Again My Life (어게인 마이 라이프)

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

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

Prosecutor Kim, someone is here to see you.

Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo?

Yes.

I'm Jeon Seok Kyu from the Gimsan Branch.

Oh, it's nice to meet you.

Please take a seat.

You must be curious why I'm here to see you out of the blue.

Yes.

Oh, I heard a lot about your achievements during your time here.

That was a long time ago.

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

Everyone says you're even more persistent than I am.

They may not show it, but many of your colleagues are rooting for you.

Is that so?

I brought you what I've compiled while working in the branch offices.

I hope you find them helpful.

"Helpful"?

Investigating their corrupt deeds will lead you...

to the big shot behind them.

I'll be off, then.

Let's...

skip the unnecessary formalities.

Okay. Goodbye, then.

(Human Trafficking and Drug Cartels in Gimsan)

(Corruption on Personnel Selection Regarding Cho Tae Sub)

(DUI, bribed Cho Tae Sub, purchased sex with minors)

(Tax evasion, illegally funded Cho Tae Sub's election campaign)

This lists all the corrupt deeds committed by Cho Tae Sub's pawns.

How many years did it take him to compile this?

Is he also after Cho Tae Sub?

Chief Jeon!

Chief Jeon! Wait.

Thank you.

The information you gave me will be put to good use.

I'm going to quit being a prosecutor.

Prosecutor Kim, I truly hope you achieve your goal.

You won't get a second chance.

If you miss this one chance, you will fall hard,

like me.

Don't do this again.

Nothing is more important than your life.

Yes, sir.

Let me hear what you have to say. Do you realize what you have done?

The most they'd get for starting an illegal casino is five years.

Their puppet owner will end up in the pen, and that's it.

Sure, if it were like any other gambling den.

What do you mean?

What's done can't be undone. Trust me and let me handle this.

There's no way they're only engaging in this kind of business.

If you stomp when you walk, you're bound to leave footprints.

Those who follow your footprints won't always be good people.

Don't put your life on the line. Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

- Bring them in. - Yes, sir.

Let's go. Come on.

Mr. Do Chang Soo.

Yes.

Your daughter's name is Do Hwa Jin, right?

Yes.

You got into debt because of your gambling habit.

Then you sold your daughter because you couldn't pay off your debt.

My dad got into debt because of his gambling habit.

Then he sold me because he couldn't pay off his debt.

Well, he didn't actually sell me. He put me up as collateral.

So the casino is holding me as collateral,

and my dad still gambles there.

Do you know why I'm not trying to stop him?

There's no hope. That's why.

Even if he sells all his organs...

I guess that would pay off the interest.

But that's it.

Who knows?

If my dad wins a big sum...

A really big sum.

Then he might cook...

some soybean paste stew for me like the old days.

He's a lousy gambler,

but he's a great cook.

Could you chop my hands off?

Then I'll have no choice but to quit gambling.

Please just chop them off.

I heard you used to own a restaurant.

I also heard you were a good cook.

Use those hands to make some warm soybean paste stew...

and have a hearty meal with your daughter.

- Sorry? - If you gamble...

but can maintain your daily life, you're not considered an addict.

Let's start with that. Regain control in your daily life.

We'll help you with the rest.

But I'm... My total debt is...

Gambling debts are not legally enforceable.

And the Yuchae Gang will be disbanded soon anyway.

Luckily, you're a first-time offender,

so you'll probably be released on probation.

Let's give this a shot.

Thank you.

I want to do this.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you so much...

My goodness. All this money moved through a small-town casino?

It's unbelievable.

How's it going? Have you found out anything?

Yes, but we've got a problem here.

- What is it? - On paper, the money was sent...

to their own incorporated business, so we can't...

Hold on. Hee Woo.

This must be it.

Take a look at this.

This was sent to Daemin as an investment,

but it was actually sent to Jangmi for their operating expenses.

Here, it says this money was invested in Yurim Corp,

but it was actually sent to Mokran. The same amount, 20 million won.

This too, Night Fog. 30 million won.

- This is it. - Yes, you're right.

The Yuchae Gang's two sets of books.

Well done.

Investigator Oh, please get this organized while I interrogate them.

And let's haul in...

their boss, Moon Gu Jun, first thing in the morning.

Got it.

And you. I need you to go to Seoul now.

Okay.

What? Now?

I pulled an all-nighter.

I know. Investigator Oh, is that thing ready?

Right, yes. Here it is.

Go to Seoul now and deliver this to this person.

Then you can go home and sleep all you want.

"Reporter Kim Han Mi"?

Yes. Tell her I sent you, and she'll know what it's about.

Goodness.

We don't have time. Get moving.

Wake up.

- Gosh. - Hurry, get going.

(Gangwon District Prosecutors' Office, Gimsan Branch Office)

Wake up, everyone!

- Darn it. - What's going on?

Goodness.

Get up already.

- Darn... - What's your problem?

I'm going to interrogate you one by one.

We'll talk about the illegal casino...

as well as all the other cases whose statutes of limitations...

haven't expired yet.

The more uncooperative you are,

the heavier your sentence will be. It's as simple as that.

- Darn. - What the...

And just so you know, your boss, Moon Gu Jun,

is being hauled in right now,

so it'll be helpful for you to know that you have no one to count on.

Okay?

- What? - What?

You idiots. Boss will just...

have his breakfast here and head home.

Hey, prosecutor. Do you have no elders in your family?

How dare you say our boss' name with no honorifics?

You little brat!

- Brat. - You rude punk.

Be polite, will you?

What?

Is this guy just slow-witted? Or is he stupid?

- Investigator Oh. - Yes.

We don't even need to interview this scumbag.

For him, we'll just demand ten years in prison.

I'll add whatever charges necessary.

- Like that jerk last time? - Sorry?

Right, yes. Just like that jerk.

Okay, got it.

Hey, wait. Mr. Prosecutor.

Mr. Prosecutor!

Be quiet.

Sit down, guys.

Prosecutor, you're overly ambitious because you're still a rookie.

We didn't study law,

but we know we'll only get a couple of years at the most.

I have nothing to say, so just let me call my lawyer.

Where are the women?

"Women"?

What are you talking about?

The women who went missing from the gambling house.

Have I noticed anything strange?

Come to think of it, young women disappeared from time to time.

While closing up,

I'd see their purses or jackets they left to save their seats,

but the women were nowhere to be found.

They never came back to collect their belongings.

I heard you kidnapped them.

Who said that? That's not my department.

Hyun Jong takes care of...

I see, so it was Hyun Jong.

Choi Hyun Jong.

What did you do with the women you kidnapped?

- What? - You know what I'm talking about.

I heard you were in charge.

What kind of idiot ratted me out?

Why? Did you not do it alone?

Prosecutor Kim, Moon Gu Jun is here.

Okay, thank you.
