The reason for suspending CEO Ji Dong Man's parole is not yet known.
CEO Ji Dong Man will be reexamined for parole next month and if he receives a qualified opinion,
- he will be released on December 31st.
- This guy
He really stopped him.
Ojung Group's spokesperson said he humbly accepts the Ministry of Justice's decision
and will wait for the next review.
Meanwhile, CEO Ji Dong Man
What? Did you call to hear me praise you?
It's too early for that.
This is just the start.
The start?
Han Sin, what are you planning?
We should pay back what we received.
Be careful.
I'm afraid
you'll get hurt, too.
I'm different from Chief Cheon.
Don't worry, Sunbae.
is what is known so far.
The Ministry of Justice's Parole Review Committee met in private

[Episode 3]
Gosh, seriously!
Damn it!
So, tell me, what happened?
They're making a big deal about defamation charges.
Who could've imagined this would happen?
He got us really good, that's all.
Damn it.
So, you're saying that lackey attorney Lee Han Sin we looked down on stabbed us in the back.
You're saying he got us real good.
But that bastard!
When he met with the Chairman,
he put on a smile like this for him
but secretly posted the hate comments.
Gosh, I really had no clue.
What's with him? Did you know, Hyung?
- Do you have a plan?
- W-What plan?
Do you have one?
Well, for now,
the plan is
to aim for the next parole release.
Besides that, I don't think there's any other way.
To do that, I think we need the charges to be dropped.
Should we do that?
- Tell him directly.
- Huh? What?
Everything you just babbled on about, tell the Chairman directly.
Can't you-
Gosh, damn it!
They're coming out!
Oh, they're coming out!
Won Mi, Won Mi!
What's all this?
You didn't cause any trouble, right?
No, I didn't. I didn't do anything wrong.
Why are there so many reporters here?
Stay in the car for now. Let me figure out what's going on.
Wait, wait.
I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I hide?
Choi Won Mi, Choi Won Mi!
Choi Won Mi!
Oh, she's getting off.
Choi Won Mi, Choi Won Mi!
Choi Won Mi, please come here.
Choi Won Mi!
Please look over here!
Choi Won Mi!
Is it true that you sued your ex-husband, Chairman Ji Dong Man, for defamation?
Is this noise marketing for your movie "Heiress"?
No comment. Please go back.
Please give us a statement.
Please give us a statement!
Did you get angry at his comment, "Go away, you plastic surgery monster"?
Can we take it as a response to accusations of plastic surgery?
Could you open the gates, please?
They're opening the gates!
Please move back.
The gates are opening.
Move over a bit!
Please give us a statement!
Please give us a statement!
Hey, quiet! Please be quiet!
Be quiet over there!
Reporter.
Look at me. Where did I get plastic surgery?
It's all real!
Look at me.
Do you know how hard it is to be born like this?
Chairman Ji Dong Man's parole release was canceled because of your lawsuit.
Was that your goal?
Well, about that
i-it was for justice
- Justice?
- What did you say?
- What did you say?
- Could you repeat that?
Justice.
I did it for justice.
You all don't know what that guy is really like.
That guy Ji Dong Man is a really evil man
who should never be released on parole.
I know that better than anyone as his ex-wife.
That's why I sued him.
And
even if he's a rich chaebol,
he should still pay the price if he committed a crime!
Isn't that justice?
You're right!
Choi Won Mi! Choi Won Mi!
Choi Won Mi!
Choi Won Mi!
♫ You're a megalomaniac ♫
♫ You're going to lose so many ♫
♫ Even if you cover my eyes and hide it ♫
♫ I'll show you ♫
♫ You're a megalomaniac ♫
♫ You don't deserve what you want now ♫
♫ You can push me away and try to hold me off ♫
♫ It won't work on me, megalomaniac ♫
Stop!
Stop! Stop! Stop!
Open up, open the door!
Aigoo, aigoo, Chairman!
Aigoo, Chairman, aigoo, Chairman!
How could this happen? Goodness.
- Stop with the overreacting.
- Chairman
- Warden Bae.
- Yes?
When's the next parole review?
Since your parole was suspended, Chairman,
you can be placed on the review list as long as the charges are withdrawn.
Chairman, about my son's employment you mentioned last time
Never mind. It's nothing.
Let me bring you to the Warden's office.
Let's go.
Please be careful.
Open the door!
Warden, stay outside.
Yes, sir!
You said the preparations were complete.
Must I stay locked up here longer!
Is this how you take care of business?
I'm sorry.
- Attorney Seo.
- Yes!
Make sure the charges are withdrawn first.
H-H-How can I do that?
Must I tell you how to do that myself?
No, no, I'll look into it and take care of it myself.
- The phone.
- P-Pardon?
Give me my phone! Don't make me repeat myself!
No, sir!
Why are you buying me a drink?
Since you helped me stop Chairman Ji Dong Man's parole release, Lieutenant.
I'm not an ungrateful person who receives help and forgets about it.
I never thought we could stop him like this.
But will you be all right?
What do you mean?
The Chairman Ji Dong Man I know won't just let you be.
[Chairman Ji Dong Man]
Speaking of the devil.
I'm sorry. Let me take this call.
Yes, this is Lee Han Sin.
Why did you do this?
Why did you do this to me, you son of a bitch!
There must be a reason why you did this!
Chairman,
you showed no remorse whatsoever.
What? No remorse?
Your daily average number of visitations was 1.7.
You received skin treatments at the infirmary,
received daily massages in the visitation room,
and ate food brought in from the outside every meal.
So, how could you have had time to repent?
Hey! All I did was spend my money and exercise my right.
What's the problem with that?
The fact that you don't know that's a problem is your true problem.
How dare you nitpick at my words!
I made you a parole examiner
so you can release me!
And do you think you'll be safe after this?
Are you done yelling at me?
I'm in the middle of a team dinner, so I can't talk long.
W-What did you say? A team dinner?
It seems like you're done talking.
- I'll hang up now.
- You scumbag!
You dare toy with me?
It's exactly as you predicted, Lieutenant.
He says he will come for me.
Ji Dong Man threatens to come for you,
and you're not worried, Attorney Lee?
Why did you come to the review room
when you knew it would be dangerous, Lieutenant?
Because that's the right thing to do.
I should do what needs to be done,
even if things get dangerous.
I also did it for the same reason.
Chairman Ji Dong Man won't give up like this.
He will aim for a parole release again,
and I will continue to stop him.
Perhaps, this may be a good opportunity for you, Lieutenant.
What opportunity?
To reveal that Chairman Ji Dong Man committed even worse crimes
fthan embezzlement and breach of trust.
Surprise!
Guys, it's not my birthday yet.
This cake is to celebrate your movie being the number one box office hit!
- All of a sudden?
- It's making a comeback, all thanks to you!
Me?
Conscientious actress Choi Won Mi who carried out justice
by preventing Chairman Ji Dong Man's parole!
You dominated the real-time search rankings
and there's a dramatic surge in ticket sales and explosive responses online!
With comments supporting the Justice Girl!
Justice Girl
And
What, what, what is it?
You've got advertising offers!
Advertising offers?
I'll give you a gift.
A gift?
What gift?
I'll make you
even more famous, Choi Won Mi.
This really is a perfect gift.
- There's one more gift.
- W-What is it?
CEO Jang released an article saying he will pay you the
unsettled amount and renew your contract!
It's daebak, right?
Oh, my gosh!
Unni, let's only walk on a flower path from now on.
Guys, let's really only walk on a flower path.
Gosh, how could this be!
[Sangbu Mall]
Goodness.
- Good morning.
- Hi.
Welcome.
Wow, the smell of coffee is filling up the hallway.
Who put this coffee here-
Mr. Hwang, could you please hand me my coffee-
That was mine
You should've said so sooner.
But seriously, you're quite amazing, Attorney Lee.
Why are you saying that all of a sudden?
I mean, if it's defamation,
isn't that only a million won fine at worst?
But you put a barricade in front of Chairman Ji, who has access
to billions and trillions of won with just a million won fine.
If it was a sturdy barricade,
he would be wary of it and avoid it.
Mr. Hwang, do you know "knitting"?
Knitting?
When things get knotted up once, it's impossible to undo it.
So, you either have to cut the thread or start over.
I basically used that kind of knitting strategy.
"Knitting strategy."
Wow, I'm seeing you in a different light now, Attorney Lee.
Thank you.
But what are you looking at?
Are you selling some used items?
Camping products? Or cycling goods?
Hello, everyone, this is Daeguk Guest Seat.
- We have someone you all know in our studio today.
- W-Who was that again?
- We'll talk with CEO Park Hee Joon of Junbong Holdings.
- Oh, right. That's Park Hee Jun, right?
Do you know him?
- Of course. Isn't he the guy who went to prison for
- Welcome.
the Junbong Holdings investment fraud?
My in-law's third cousin was also scammed by that bastard
and there was a major upheaval in their family.
But why are you watching this first thing in the morning?
There was an application for parole.
By whom? Park Hee Jun?
No. His accomplice, Kim Bong Su.
A reality instead of a dream
for investors.
[3 years ago]
Your dream will be fulfilled right here.
An alchemist will be with us to make our dreams a reality.
Let me introduce you to the top alchemist of this age, CEO Park Hee Jun!
Please welcome him with a round of applause.
♫ Mother said she didn't like jjajangmyeon ♫
♫ Mother said she didn't like jjajangmyeon ♫
Do you think mother really didn't like jjajangmyeon?
No.
Of course not.
Of course, mother wanted to eat jjajangmyeon, too.
However,
the mother felt happier and more satisfied from seeing her child
enjoying jjajangmyeon than eating it herself.
Everyone, isn't that what family is?
For your families,
I, Park Hee Jun, will give you all the information
to make you money and wealth.
Please take it all.
All of it!
Park Hee Jun, Park Hee Jun!
Park Hee Jun, Park Hee Jun, Park Hee Jun!
- I was touched.
- Really?
It was great.
Excuse me.
My dream is to make money and give my daughter her own room.
Thank you in advance.
Why do you have such a small dream?
Not only will your daughter have a pretty room to herself,
you will be able to live in a big house like a mansion.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
E-Excuse me, sir,
I invested my retirement fund and a mortgage loan on my house.
If things go wrong by chance, I'll really-
Sir, I'll make sure your original investment is safe.
Not only that, I'll multiply your retirement money several-fold.
- Thank you.
- Don't worry.
Thank you.
It's my first time meeting you. Nice to meet you.
Just a moment.
CEO Kim, CEO Kim? Over here.
You saw him earlier, right? He is the co-CEO of Junbong Holdings, CEO Kim Bong Su.
It's nice to meet you.
To increase your profit, you can first take
Thank you.
Bong Su?
You made it, Noonim.
Everyone, please focus here for a moment.
Someone really important has come today to celebrate this occasion.
This is the CEO Choi Hwa Ran of Smile Cash
who is a major supporter of Junbong Holdings.
A round of applause, please.
If you keep overreacting like that, you can go up in flames overnight.
But isn't overreacting charming sometimes?
Aigoo, Noonim, welcome.
- "Noonim"?
- Oh, right.
President Choi.
Aren't they all paid actors?
Come on, you're so distrustful, President Choi.
Just answer my question.
If you're that nervous, just take your investment funds back.
There's a line of people who want to invest more with us.
Wait, one billion won more?
Whoa, what am I to do when the Warren Buffet of South Korea
keeps investing in Junbong Holdings like this?
Baek Jun Gi? It really is Baek Jun Gi!
If he's investing, it means it'll be daebak!
- Is he famous?
- Yes!
Gosh, Baek Jun Gi. He sure plays big.
Aigoo, things will get so crazy with all the investors rushing in.
President Choi, do you trust us a bit more now?
If you guys mess with my money, you'll die.
Of course.
Parole is out of the question for such an evil bastard!
These bastards squandered the victims'
hard-earned money on bars and shopping malls!
I agree with you.
Where are you going?
I saw someone I know from the article.
I-Isn't this President Choi of Smile Cash?
You remember.
H-How could I forget?
She threatened to kill us all when she lost her case because of you.
Do you know how scared I was?
Do you have evidence that I collected my debt illegally?
I do. I have it.
It was definitely here somewhere
Do you have it or not!
Gosh, you scared me!
If an attorney like me is scared,
how much more scared must the debtors be?
Here is the evidence.
Please take a look.
Attorney Lee!
When did you take a look at the dash cam?
Lee Han Sin! Lee Han Sin!
How much are you getting paid?
Since it's a civil case, maybe about 3 million won?
But don't you think that's too low for the price of your life?
Listen up.
If you get in my way one more time,
you may end up dead without a trace.
You got that?
B-But w-why are you trying to meet President Choi?
To stop Kim Bong Su's parole, I need President Choi's help.
D-Do you think President Choi will help you?
Well, I'm a bit scared, but since she only cares about money,
things should work out if I use money somehow.
Pardon?
Mr. Hwang.
Please go to the Junbong Holdings Victim Support Committee
and bring a petition opposing Kim Bong Su's parole release.
Okay. Got it.
Parole.
Parole.
Die, you bastard!
What the hell!
Who are you?
What is this?
You were going to kill me with this?
My money Where's my money!
I see. You were one of my company's investors.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
I earned that money having nosebleeds and with my life on the line on a motorcycle!
We will conduct a search and seizure of Junbong Holdings.
Everyone, stop what you are doing and get up.
You there, take your hands off quickly!
[Junbong Holdings CEO Park Hee Jun]
Bong Su, if we hold on to it for just five years, we get 40 billion won.
If you betray me, we're done! Hang up, all right?
- What? What is it?
- Let's go, Park Hee Jun.
Wait! Give me a second!
[Junbong Holdings CEO Park Hee Jun arrested on fraud charges]
[Junbong Holdings CEO Park Hee Jun arrested on fraud charges]
You bastard! My money!
Give me back my money!
It's always stupid guys like you who blame others.
Hey, you fell for such stupid words?
You stupid bastard.
You bastard!
Consider yourself lucky today.
I need to take care of myself.
How
how could someone like you be released from here?
That's what you think.
Stab me.
You said you wanted to kill me. Stab me.
Hey, do you know when people fall for fraud?
When you put your life on the line.
Earnestly and desperately.
Too bad for you.
The correction officers will think you really stabbed me.
And you will get a longer sentence.
Do you get it now?
I just scammed you again, you stupid bastard!
I'm leaving.
You stay locked up here.
Correction officers!
Correction officers!
I came to meet President Choi.
Who are you?
President Choi's favorite person.
Someone to give her money.
President Choi.
I'm sorry.
Really. I deserve to die for what I've done!
T-Two more weeks!
N-No, if you just give me one more week,
I'll do whatever it takes to pay you back the original amount plus interest!
President Choi
I'm sorry.
One month, no, if you give me just two more weeks,
I'll do what it takes to pay you back.
[Smile Cash]
Life is all about timing.
It's my favorite saying in the world.
But you never get the right timing, Mr. Park.
That's why I really don't like you.
All right. Open your mouth.
Not only are you bad at timing, you don't understand, either.
I said open your trap.
Because you're not keeping your promise,
that's why your mouth is about to tear open for spewing easy promises.
Eat it.
Eat more! Say ah!
Ma'am.
What?
What is it?
Me? Attorney.
Mr Park, did you hire an attorney?
He says he didn't.
No, I'm not Mr. Park's attorney.
My occupation is an attorney.
Mr. Park.
Are you really hot, or do you really like ice?
Why would an attorney come here when Mr. Park didn't hire you?
Aigoo. If you handle your debt collection like this,
I told you last time that it's disadvantageous in court.
But you still do this.
You're that attorney!
Aigoo, I forgot to bring my business card.
I'm Attorney Lee Han Sin.
Han Sin. Lee Han Sin.
You're pretty gutsy
to come here fearlessly after screwing me over last time.
Why did you come?
I heard it's pretty tough for lawyers these days. Is it that tough?
Are you asking me to kill you by coming here?
Well, that's not it.
Let's make a deal.
A deal?
We already have many debt-collecting lawyers.
All right, let's eat one more.
I'm a little different from those lawyers
since I'm trying to get back the money you were scammed.
You were defrauded by Junbong Holdings, right?
I'll get that money back for you.
What do you mean by that?
What do you mean you can't do anything for us?
[3 years ago]
There are so many people who were scammed here!
[3 years ago]
What do we do
Move.
What the hell?
Open the door!
I said open the door!
Open up!
Open the door!
Bong Su?
Noona is here.
I warned you before.
Didn't I tell you you'd croak if you mess with my money?
Open the door.
Open the door, you asshole! Hurry up and open the door!
Open the door! Open the door!
You better open the door, you bastard!
I said, open the door! Hey, open the door!
That's a bulletproof door, you son of a bitch.
We need to leave before the police get here.
What's taking the police so long?
This is why they get badmouthed as damn cops.
Okay! They're here.
Shit
This bastard called the cops.
Mr. Baek, bring me my coat.
That bastard laughed at me!
Ma'am, you can't.
Mr. Baek,
those bastards definitely hid the money somewhere.
Find it.
You were defrauded by Junbong Holdings, right?
I'll get that money back for you.
Interesting.
[Sangbu Police Precinct - Metropolitan Investigation Unit]
Chairman Ji Dong Man won't give up like this.
He will aim for a parole release again,
and I will continue to stop him.
Perhaps this may be a good opportunity for you, Lieutenant.
What opportunity?
To reveal that Chairman Ji Dong Man
committed even worse crimes than embezzlement and breach of trust.
Opportunity
Why?
- Surprise!
- Geez, you scared me!
What is it?
It's Choi Jeong Hak's new girlfriend.
What?
Your stakeout paid off!
I worked hard.
And his current whereabouts?
For your righteous skin.
Everybody mist.
Miss Justice.
Cut. Okay. That was good. That was great, Choi Won Mi.
Let's take a 10-minute break before starting the next cut.
Okay, thank you, director.
- Aren't you tired?
- This is my ad shoot in a while.
I'm not tired at all.
Thanks, guys.
Gosh, so pretty!
Who sent this?
Who sent it?
I know.
You look like a goddess. You're so pretty.
For your righteous skin.
What was it, everybody mist?
Read the note.
Take a look at the note.
If you don't want to die, come visit me immediately.
Is this concept supposed to be like a goddess from Greek mythology?
- Yes, that is true.
- Right?
It says here that your plan
after release is to get a job with the carpentry skills you learned in prison.
Is that true?
- Yes.
- They say people don't change easily.
I'm a bit worried that if you are released on parole,
you will scam people again and resulting in
even more victims, Candidate 64.
No, that's definitely not true.
Honestly, I thought it was a bit strange.
I questioned if you actually deserve to be released on parole
when you haven't even come to a settlement
with your victims yet.
So, I have a negative opinion
on your parole release, Candidate 64.
But you don't seem that worried.
No, it's not like that.
Well, you'll need to worry.
You know that Ojung Group Chairman Ji Dong Man's parole was canceled recently, right?
That was my doing.
According to Chapter 2 of the Parole Guidelines,
[Section 2, Article 10]
economic offenders with unpaid amounts exceeding 2 billion won
are classified as restricted offenders.
Reclassification to general offender status
is advantageous to qualify for parole eligibility. Therefore,
reparation for damages is the top priority.
You can go straight down this hallway.
Yes
Chairman.
Why are you telling me to come when I'm busy?
- Attorney Seo.
- Yes?
Replace this massage chair immediately. It won't relax my knots.
I-Is that so? O-Okay, I'll take care of it.
Give me a massage. It's been a while.
You still talk to me carelessly.
I see you've lost all sense of fear.
Drop the charges.
Why don't you answer me?
This is the first time
- What?
- that you've been helpful to my life.
By suing you and preventing your parole,
I am really popular these days as Justice Girl.
On top of that, this is the first time you've asked me for a favor.
But too bad.
I can't do what you asked me to do.
Why are you refusing to drop the charges?
If I drop the charges now, I won't be the Justice Girl anymore.
So, I can't do it!
- Sit down.
- This chair really sucks.
- It hurts my butt.
- Hey, you!
You have no fear. Like old times, I should-
No, no, no, you shouldn't do this!
- What's the problem?
- Mind your own business and get out!
Out, out, out.
This visitation is over.
You take care.
Okay, let's talk next time. Goodbye!
For now
take a deep breath.
You need to consider your health.
Hello.
Attorney Lee.
Attorney Lee, I feel so great!
Didn't you just meet Chairman Ji Dong Man?
- Weren't you scared?
- Scared? Why would I be scared?
You know who I am.
I am Justice Girl Choi Won Mi. You know, right?
Gosh, it's so cold today.
Attorney Lee.
- Yes?
- Come here. Quickly, quickly.
- Yes?
- My legs are trembling so much.
What's wrong with me? What's going on?
- Are you okay? How? What?
- What? What's wrong?
Do you want to hold onto me?
Please let me hold you.
Hold on tight.
What is this?
I can't believe it
- You feel relief from tension.
- I'm not faking it, okay?
Do you need to go to a hospital?
Gosh, it's hot!
Hey, Jin Suk, isn't this too hot?
CEO Park of Seocho-dong completed his deposit.
CEO Woo of Mapo says he will make the deposit in two days.
Also, Director Moon of Baekseung Commerce asked us about money laundering.
- You can let him know in two days.
- Okay.
- Next?
- That's it.
Did you look into what I asked you to?
Yes. Attorney Lee Han Sin has a unique resume.
He used to be a correction officer,
and after he quit and became an attorney,
he worked mostly as a lackey attorney.
And recently, he was appointed as a parole examiner.
So, you're saying it's true that he was appointed as a parole examiner, right?
Yes.
What shall we do?
Since we've got nothing to lose, let's go.
- This is it?
- Yes, let's go inside.
[Sangbu Mall]
[Sangbu Mall]
[Attorney Lee Han Sin]
I don't bite.
P-Pardon?
I won't bite, so you don't have to be so nervous.
I'm not the type to hold grudges like that.
O-Oh, okay.
If you need money, come to me. I'll treat you well.
Okay. Thank you.
Well, you visited me sooner than I had expected.
So, have you thought about my offer from last time?
I found it quite interesting of an offer.
All right. So, tell me.
How will you get back the money I was defrauded?
[Gap]
Gap?
Junbong holdings received more than 50 billion won in investments.
No matter how lavishly Kim Bong Su and Park Hee Jun spent that money,
would they have been able to spend all that money in such a short time?
They obviously hid that money somewhere.
But I know guys like them.
They would never open their traps
where they hid that money, even if there's a knife to their throat.
Traps
You're cute.
Even if the two of them don't talk,
if we can create a gap between the two,
we could find out where they hid their illegal proceeds.
[Gap]
Lee Dong Myeong.
He's Park Hee Jun's fund manager.
Since he's a regular at adult arcades, he should be easy to find.
Jackpot, jackpot! Right? It's a jackpot?
Luck follows those meant for success.
I haven't gotten one, even when I've been here for two days straight!
Yes, Hyungnim.
Right now?
All right.
Where Where did he go?
Geez!
Gosh, that little rat!
- Damn it.
- Goodbye.
Gosh, where can I buy a cigarette?
I don't have a cigarette.
Ahjussi.
Sorry.
Jangju Restaurant?
He comes all the way here to eat?
Thank you.
Are you Korean?
- Yes.
- You're handsome. Are you an actor?
[Jangju Restaurant]
What's the matter?
It tastes just like my mom's cooking.
You're saying it's good, right?
You know how I don't eat home food and just eat ramen.
It's clear that this is a restaurant on the verge of closing.
I'm here.
Did you eat? Do you want food?
Forget it. Who would eat your terrible food?
Why do you keep going into that storage?
- Storage?
- Did you hide a honeypot or something?
Geez, mind your own business!
And no one weird came by recently, right?
- You mean guys like you?
- Gosh, seriously!
Anyway, close the restaurant starting tomorrow. Okay?
Gosh, look at how he talks to his mother.
He's so rude.
Then, what does that make us when we're paying for this food?
Excuse me, Mr. Hwang.
Excuse me, where's the bathroom?
Go outside and go to your right.
Outside?
Aigoo, ma'am, please give us more kimchi.
Wow, the kimchi is fermented perfectly.
The kimchi is just
It's been a long time since anyone asked for more kimchi.
You could sell it separately.
Really?
[Authorized Personnel Only]
[Authorized Personnel Only]
What are you doing over there?
Gosh, I told you the bathroom was outside.
I'm sorry.
Gosh, he's not Korean.
[Seongil Prison]
Who is it?
Why don't they tell me?
Attorney Lee Han Sin.
Do you know me?
Aren't you Park Hee Jun?
- I am.
- Yeah, that's you.
With a clean-cut face, eloquent speech,
and excellent investment techniques,
you were once a mythical figure known as the Midas' hand of Hannam-dong.
Mythical figure? Gosh, that was such a long time ago.
You were doing well as a Hannam-dong investment rich man
before you plummeted after being arrested for the Junbong Holdings fraud incident.
I hear your accomplice Kim Bong Su is facing parole release soon.
Didn't you know?
He's on the parole review list,
and he's preparing to leave after paying damages to the victims.
Wait.
- He got on the list?
- Yes.
Unless things suddenly change, he might be released on parole.
If Kim Bong Su is released,
he'll probably go
and get the illegal proceeds by himself, right?
I mean, Attorney, I don't know what you're talking about.
Attorney,
there is no hidden money.
Really?
I guess you have nothing to worry about, then.
Oh, well
I thought the two had an agreement.
Okay then.
Hey, b-but
i-is it really true that Bong Su
is on the parole review list?
Would I come all the way here to lie to you?
What the heck
Hyung, do I really have to sell it?
If I sell it now, I'll only get a fraction of its worth!
Just sell it!
Sell it quickly and settle with the victims, bastard!
Watch it!
I'm telling you now. I'll buy you a new car when I get out.
Sell the car and settle with the victims! Got it?
Go and check if there are any problems with the items.
Also, there are rumors that Bong Su is leaving soon.
- Bong Su?
- Check if that rumor is true and come see me.
I'll go to the store first and check on the goods.
Okay, hang up.
[Jangju Restaurant]
Yes, Attorney.
Yes, I think it's definitely at Jangju Restaurant.
Did you eat?
Mind your own business.
Gosh, that asshole.
He should starve to come to his senses.
Why did I pick up the same card?
Sunbae.
He's out, he's out!
Is that Choi Jeong Hak? Are you sure?
I'm telling you, it's him.
What did I tell you? I told you Choi Jeong Hak would be here!
I told you!
Keep your wits about you.
We can't lose him this time.
Make sure the girl doesn't get hurt.
Excuse me.
Yes?
I think you dropped your wallet.
It's not mine.
What is this? Did she change boyfriends already?
I wonder if Choi Jeong Hak knows his girlfriend is cheating on him.
Seeing how his phone is off and there is no trace of daily movements,
I think he's gone deep into hiding.
It's going to be tough to catch that Choi Jeong Hak.
Yes, Attorney Lee.
- Lieutenant.
- Why do you keep asking me to come? I'm busy.
I have something to report.
It's really urgent. Could you help?
Am I the only cop?
Why do you keep calling me?
You're the only cop I can trust, Lieutenant.
Let me hear what it's about.
What is it that you need to report urgently?
I think that the restaurant is violating the origin labeling.
Violation of origin labeling?
Yes! My paralegal has very sensitive taste buds,
and he says they labeled their kimchi as domestic when it's actually from China.
Attorney Lee, I'm part of the Metropolitan Investigation Unit.
You can report to the district office-
You would know better than to do this.
There is a reason you're doing this, right?
Yes, you're right.
There may be illegal proceeds hidden in that restaurant
but there's no way to check.
Illegal proceeds?
You've heard of the Junbong Holdings investment fraud, right?
About 40 billion won in illegal proceeds weren't recovered at the time.
I believe that money is hidden in that restaurant.
Did you just say 40 billion won?
Yes. Forty billion won.
I think you're pretty interested now.
So, do you want to go on a treasure hunt with me?
[Jangju Restaurant]
Welcome! Sit wherever you'd like.
Hello.
Oh! It's that handsome guy.
I'm a police officer.
You were a police officer? Why are you here?
I received a complaint about a violation of origin labeling.
A complaint? From whom?
Gosh, it's not true.
I personally make my own kimchi
and I only use soybean paste, which I make myself.
I have to check because I received a complaint.
Pardon? Okay, you can head inside.
Why flip out after enjoying the food?
The door is open.
Did you find it?

You bastard!
You should buy that building.
Will you sell your restaurant if I pay you this much?
I think it's time for CEO Kim to be released on parole now.
He's trying to frame me as a school bully
- and have me ostracized for good.
- Stop right there!
You still haven't found Choi Jeong Hak?
- Freeze!
- Have you gone mad?
- This bastard!
- I don't work with criminals.
Forty billion! Recovery of illegal proceeds.

- After an intense debate, they decided to
- You go ahead.
suspend CEO Ji's parole review.
The reason for suspending CEO Ji Dong Man's parole is not yet known.
CEO Ji Dong Man will be reexamined for parole next month and if he receives a qualified opinion,
- he will be released on December 31st.
- This guy
He really stopped him.
Ojung Group's spokesperson said he humbly accepts the Ministry of Justice's decision
and will wait for the next review.
Meanwhile, CEO Ji Dong Man
What? Did you call to hear me praise you?
It's too early for that.
This is just the start.
The start?
Han Sin, what are you planning?
We should pay back what we received.
Be careful.
I'm afraid
you'll get hurt, too.
I'm different from Chief Cheon.
Don't worry, Sunbae.

The Ministry of Justice's Parole Review Committee met in private

[Episode 3]
Gosh, seriously!
Damn it!
So, tell me, what happened?
They're making a big deal about defamation charges.
Who could've imagined this would happen?
He got us really good, that's all.
Damn it.
So, you're saying that lackey attorney Lee Han Sin we looked down on stabbed us in the back.
You're saying he got us real good.
But that bastard!
When he met with the Chairman,
he put on a smile like this for him
but secretly posted the hate comments.
Gosh, I really had no clue.
What's with him? Did you know, Hyung?
- Do you have a plan?
- W-What plan?
Do you have one?
Well, for now,
the plan is
to aim for the next parole release.
Besides that, I don't think there's any other way.
To do that, I think we need the charges to be dropped.
Should we do that?
- Tell him directly.
- Huh? What?
Everything you just babbled on about, tell the Chairman directly.
Can't you-
Gosh, damn it!
They're coming out!
Oh, they're coming out!
Won Mi, Won Mi!
What's all this?
You didn't cause any trouble, right?
No, I didn't. I didn't do anything wrong.
Why are there so many reporters here?
Stay in the car for now. Let me figure out what's going on.
Wait, wait.
I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I hide?
Choi Won Mi, Choi Won Mi!
Choi Won Mi!
Oh, she's getting off.
Choi Won Mi, Choi Won Mi!
Choi Won Mi, please come here.
Choi Won Mi!
Please look over here!
Choi Won Mi!
Is it true that you sued your ex-husband, Chairman Ji Dong Man, for defamation?
Is this noise marketing for your movie "Heiress"?
No comment. Please go back.
Please give us a statement.
Please give us a statement!
Did you get angry at his comment, "Go away, you plastic surgery monster"?
Can we take it as a response to accusations of plastic surgery?
Could you open the gates, please?
They're opening the gates!
Please move back.
The gates are opening.
Move over a bit!
Please give us a statement!
Please give us a statement!
Hey, quiet! Please be quiet!
Be quiet over there!
Reporter.
Look at me. Where did I get plastic surgery?
It's all real!
Look at me.
Do you know how hard it is to be born like this?
Chairman Ji Dong Man's parole release was canceled because of your lawsuit.
Was that your goal?
Well, about that
i-it was for justice
- Justice?
- What did you say?
- What did you say?
- Could you repeat that?
Justice.
I did it for justice.
You all don't know what that guy is really like.
That guy Ji Dong Man is a really evil man
who should never be released on parole.
I know that better than anyone as his ex-wife.
That's why I sued him.
And
even if he's a rich chaebol,
he should still pay the price if he committed a crime!
Isn't that justice?
You're right!

Stop!
Stop! Stop! Stop!
Open up, open the door!
Aigoo, aigoo, Chairman!
Aigoo, Chairman, aigoo, Chairman!
How could this happen? Goodness.
- Stop with the overreacting.
- Chairman
- Warden Bae.
- Yes?
When's the next parole review?
Since your parole was suspended, Chairman,
you can be placed on the review list as long as the charges are withdrawn.
Chairman, about my son's employment you mentioned last time
Never mind. It's nothing.
Let me bring you to the Warden's office.
Let's go.
Please be careful.
Open the door!
Warden, stay outside.
Yes, sir!
You said the preparations were complete.
Must I stay locked up here longer!
Is this how you take care of business?
I'm sorry.
- Attorney Seo.
- Yes!
Make sure the charges are withdrawn first.
H-H-How can I do that?
Must I tell you how to do that myself?
No, no, I'll look into it and take care of it myself.
- The phone.
- P-Pardon?
Give me my phone! Don't make me repeat myself!
No, sir!
Why are you buying me a drink?
Since you helped me stop Chairman Ji Dong Man's parole release, Lieutenant.
I'm not an ungrateful person who receives help and forgets about it.
I never thought we could stop him like this.
But will you be all right?
What do you mean?
The Chairman Ji Dong Man I know won't just let you be.
[Chairman Ji Dong Man]
Speaking of the devil.
I'm sorry. Let me take this call.
Yes, this is Lee Han Sin.
Why did you do this?
Why did you do this to me, you son of a bitch!
There must be a reason why you did this!
Chairman,
you showed no remorse whatsoever.
What? No remorse?
Your daily average number of visitations was 1.7.
You received skin treatments at the infirmary,
received daily massages in the visitation room,
and ate food brought in from the outside every meal.
So, how could you have had time to repent?
Hey! All I did was spend my money and exercise my right.
What's the problem with that?
The fact that you don't know that's a problem is your true problem.
How dare you nitpick at my words!
I made you a parole examiner
so you can release me!
And do you think you'll be safe after this?
Are you done yelling at me?
I'm in the middle of a team dinner, so I can't talk long.
W-What did you say? A team dinner?
It seems like you're done talking.
- I'll hang up now.
- You scumbag!
You dare toy with me?
It's exactly as you predicted, Lieutenant.
He says he will come for me.
Ji Dong Man threatens to come for you,
and you're not worried, Attorney Lee?
Why did you come to the review room
when you knew it would be dangerous, Lieutenant?
Because that's the right thing to do.
I should do what needs to be done,
even if things get dangerous.
I also did it for the same reason.
Chairman Ji Dong Man won't give up like this.
He will aim for a parole release again,
and I will continue to stop him.
Perhaps, this may be a good opportunity for you, Lieutenant.
What opportunity?
To reveal that Chairman Ji Dong Man committed even worse crimes
fthan embezzlement and breach of trust.
Surprise!
Guys, it's not my birthday yet.
This cake is to celebrate your movie being the number one box office hit!

Goodness.
- Good morning.
- Hi.
Welcome.
Wow, the smell of coffee is filling up the hallway.
Who put this coffee here-
Mr. Hwang, could you please hand me my coffee-
That was mine
You should've said so sooner.
But seriously, you're quite amazing, Attorney Lee.
Why are you saying that all of a sudden?
I mean, if it's defamation,
isn't that only a million won fine at worst?
But you put a barricade in front of Chairman Ji, who has access
to billions and trillions of won with just a million won fine.
If it was a sturdy barricade,
he would be wary of it and avoid it.
Mr. Hwang, do you know "knitting"?
Knitting?
When things get knotted up once, it's impossible to undo it.
So, you either have to cut the thread or start over.
I basically used that kind of knitting strategy.
"Knitting strategy."
Wow, I'm seeing you in a different light now, Attorney Lee.
Thank you.
But what are you looking at?
Are you selling some used items?
Camping products? Or cycling goods?
Hello, everyone, this is Daeguk Guest Seat.
- We have someone you all know in our studio today.
- W-Who was that again?
- We'll talk with CEO Park Hee Joon of Junbong Holdings.

- Of course. Isn't he the guy who went to prison for

and there was a major upheaval in their family.

By whom? Park Hee Jun?
No. His accomplice, Kim Bong Su.

enjoying jjajangmyeon than eating it herself.

- Really?

Everyone, please focus here for a moment.
Someone really important has come today to celebrate this occasion.
This is the CEO Choi Hwa Ran of Smile Cash
who is a major supporter of Junbong Holdings.

But isn't overreacting charming sometimes?

- "Noonim"?
- Oh, right.

Aren't they all paid actors?
Come on, you're so distrustful, President Choi.
Just answer my question.
If you're that nervous, just take your investment funds back.
There's a line of people who want to invest more with us.
Wait, one billion won more?
Whoa, what am I to do when the Warren Buffet of South Korea
keeps investing in Junbong Holdings like this?
Baek Jun Gi? It really is Baek Jun Gi!
If he's investing, it means it'll be daebak!
- Is he famous?
- Yes!
Gosh, Baek Jun Gi. He sure plays big.
Aigoo, things will get so crazy with all the investors rushing in.
President Choi, do you trust us a bit more now?
If you guys mess with my money, you'll die.
Of course.
Parole is out of the question for such an evil bastard!
These bastards squandered the victims'
hard-earned money on bars and shopping malls!
I agree with you.
Where are you going?
I saw someone I know from the article.
I-Isn't this President Choi of Smile Cash?
You remember.
H-How could I forget?
She threatened to kill us all when she lost her case because of you.
Do you know how scared I was?
Do you have evidence that I collected my debt illegally?
I do. I have it.
It was definitely here somewhere
Do you have it or not!
Gosh, you scared me!
If an attorney like me is scared,
how much more scared must the debtors be?
Here is the evidence.
Please take a look.
Attorney Lee!
When did you take a look at the dash cam?
Lee Han Sin! Lee Han Sin!
How much are you getting paid?
Since it's a civil case, maybe about 3 million won?
But don't you think that's too low for the price of your life?
Listen up.
If you get in my way one more time,
you may end up dead without a trace.
You got that?
B-But w-why are you trying to meet President Choi?
To stop Kim Bong Su's parole, I need President Choi's help.
D-Do you think President Choi will help you?
Well, I'm a bit scared, but since she only cares about money,
things should work out if I use money somehow.
Pardon?
Mr. Hwang.
Please go to the Junbong Holdings Victim Support Committee
and bring a petition opposing Kim Bong Su's parole release.
Okay. Got it.
Parole.
Parole.
Die, you bastard!
What the hell!
Who are you?
What is this?
You were going to kill me with this?

I see. You were one of my company's investors.
Thank you. Thank you so much.

Everyone, stop what you are doing and get up.
You there, take your hands off quickly!

I need to take care of myself.
How
how could someone like you be released from here?
That's what you think.
Stab me.
You said you wanted to kill me. Stab me.
Hey, do you know when people fall for fraud?
When you put your life on the line.

I'm sorry.

I'll do what it takes to pay you back.

Life is all about timing.
It's my favorite saying in the world.
But you never get the right timing, Mr. Park.
That's why I really don't like you.
All right. Open your mouth.
Not only are you bad at timing, you don't understand, either.
I said open your trap.
Because you're not keeping your promise,
that's why your mouth is about to tear open for spewing easy promises.

What?
What is it?

Mr Park, did you hire an attorney?
He says he didn't.
No, I'm not Mr. Park's attorney.
My occupation is an attorney.
Mr. Park.
Are you really hot, or do you really like ice?
Why would an attorney come here when Mr. Park didn't hire you?
Aigoo. If you handle your debt collection like this,
I told you last time that it's disadvantageous in court.
But you still do this.
You're that attorney!
Aigoo, I forgot to bring my business card.
I'm Attorney Lee Han Sin.
Han Sin. Lee Han Sin.
You're pretty gutsy
to come here fearlessly after screwing me over last time.
Why did you come?
I heard it's pretty tough for lawyers these days. Is it that tough?
Are you asking me to kill you by coming here?
Well, that's not it.
Let's make a deal.
A deal?
We already have many debt-collecting lawyers.
All right, let's eat one more.
I'm a little different from those lawyers
since I'm trying to get back the money you were scammed.
You were defrauded by Junbong Holdings, right?
I'll get that money back for you.
What do you mean by that?
What do you mean you can't do anything for us?
[3 years ago]
There are so many people who were scammed here!
[3 years ago]
What do we do
Move.
What the hell?
Open the door!
I said open the door!
Open up!
Open the door!
Bong Su?
Noona is here.
I warned you before.
Didn't I tell you you'd croak if you mess with my money?
Open the door.
Open the door, you asshole! Hurry up and open the door!
Open the door! Open the door!
You better open the door, you bastard!
I said, open the door! Hey, open the door!
That's a bulletproof door, you son of a bitch.
We need to leave before the police get here.
What's taking the police so long?
This is why they get badmouthed as damn cops.
Okay! They're here.
Shit
This bastard called the cops.
Mr. Baek, bring me my coat.
That bastard laughed at me!
Ma'am, you can't.
Mr. Baek,
those bastards definitely hid the money somewhere.
Find it.
You were defrauded by Junbong Holdings, right?
I'll get that money back for you.
Interesting.

Chairman Ji Dong Man won't give up like this.
He will aim for a parole release again,
and I will continue to stop him.
Perhaps this may be a good opportunity for you, Lieutenant.
What opportunity?
To reveal that Chairman Ji Dong Man
committed even worse crimes than embezzlement and breach of trust.

If you don't want to die, come visit me immediately.
Is this concept supposed to be like a goddess from Greek mythology?
- Yes, that is true.
- Right?
It says here that your plan
after release is to get a job with the carpentry skills you learned in prison.
Is that true?
- Yes.
- They say people don't change easily.
I'm a bit worried that if you are released on parole,
you will scam people again and resulting in
even more victims, Candidate 64.
No, that's definitely not true.
Honestly, I thought it was a bit strange.
I questioned if you actually deserve to be released on parole
when you haven't even come to a settlement
with your victims yet.
So, I have a negative opinion
on your parole release, Candidate 64.
But you don't seem that worried.
No, it's not like that.
Well, you'll need to worry.
You know that Ojung Group Chairman Ji Dong Man's parole was canceled recently, right?
That was my doing.
According to Chapter 2 of the Parole Guidelines,
[Section 2, Article 10]
economic offenders with unpaid amounts exceeding 2 billion won
are classified as restricted offenders.
Reclassification to general offender status
is advantageous to qualify for parole eligibility. Therefore,
reparation for damages is the top priority.
You can go straight down this hallway.
Yes
Chairman.
Why are you telling me to come when I'm busy?
- Attorney Seo.
- Yes?
Replace this massage chair immediately. It won't relax my knots.
I-Is that so? O-Okay, I'll take care of it.
Give me a massage. It's been a while.
You still talk to me carelessly.
I see you've lost all sense of fear.
Drop the charges.
Why don't you answer me?
This is the first time
- What?
- that you've been helpful to my life.
By suing you and preventing your parole,
I am really popular these days as Justice Girl.
On top of that, this is the first time you've asked me for a favor.
But too bad.
I can't do what you asked me to do.
Why are you refusing to drop the charges?
If I drop the charges now, I won't be the Justice Girl anymore.
So, I can't do it!
- Sit down.
- This chair really sucks.
- It hurts my butt.
- Hey, you!
You have no fear. Like old times, I should-
No, no, no, you shouldn't do this!
- What's the problem?
- Mind your own business and get out!
Out, out, out.
This visitation is over.
You take care.
Okay, let's talk next time. Goodbye!
For now
take a deep breath.
You need to consider your health.
Hello.
Attorney Lee.
Attorney Lee, I feel so great!
Didn't you just meet Chairman Ji Dong Man?
- Weren't you scared?
- Scared? Why would I be scared?
You know who I am.
I am Justice Girl Choi Won Mi. You know, right?
Gosh, it's so cold today.
Attorney Lee.
- Yes?
- Come here. Quickly, quickly.
- Yes?
- My legs are trembling so much.
What's wrong with me? What's going on?
- Are you okay? How? What?
- What? What's wrong?
Do you want to hold onto me?
Please let me hold you.
Hold on tight.
What is this?
I can't believe it
- You feel relief from tension.
- I'm not faking it, okay?
Do you need to go to a hospital?
Gosh, it's hot!
Hey, Jin Suk, isn't this too hot?
CEO Park of Seocho-dong completed his deposit.
CEO Woo of Mapo says he will make the deposit in two days.
Also, Director Moon of Baekseung Commerce asked us about money laundering.
- You can let him know in two days.
- Okay.
- Next?
- That's it.
Did you look into what I asked you to?
Yes. Attorney Lee Han Sin has a unique resume.
He used to be a correction officer,
and after he quit and became an attorney,
he worked mostly as a lackey attorney.
And recently, he was appointed as a parole examiner.
So, you're saying it's true that he was appointed as a parole examiner, right?
Yes.
What shall we do?
Since we've got nothing to lose, let's go.
- This is it?
- Yes, let's go inside.
[Sangbu Mall]
[Sangbu Mall]
[Attorney Lee Han Sin]
I don't bite.
P-Pardon?
I won't bite, so you don't have to be so nervous.
I'm not the type to hold grudges like that.
O-Oh, okay.
If you need money, come to me. I'll treat you well.
Okay. Thank you.
Well, you visited me sooner than I had expected.
So, have you thought about my offer from last time?
I found it quite interesting of an offer.
All right. So, tell me.
How will you get back the money I was defrauded?
[Gap]
Gap?
Junbong holdings received more than 50 billion won in investments.
No matter how lavishly Kim Bong Su and Park Hee Jun spent that money,
would they have been able to spend all that money in such a short time?
They obviously hid that money somewhere.
But I know guys like them.
They would never open their traps
where they hid that money, even if there's a knife to their throat.
Traps
You're cute.
Even if the two of them don't talk,
if we can create a gap between the two,
we could find out where they hid their illegal proceeds.
[Gap]
Lee Dong Myeong.
He's Park Hee Jun's fund manager.
Since he's a regular at adult arcades, he should be easy to find.
Jackpot, jackpot! Right? It's a jackpot?
Luck follows those meant for success.
I haven't gotten one, even when I've been here for two days straight!
Yes, Hyungnim.
Right now?
All right.
Where Where did he go?
Geez!
Gosh, that little rat!
- Damn it.
- Goodbye.
Gosh, where can I buy a cigarette?
I don't have a cigarette.
Ahjussi.
Sorry.
Jangju Restaurant?
He comes all the way here to eat?
Thank you.
Are you Korean?
- Yes.
- You're handsome. Are you an actor?
[Jangju Restaurant]
What's the matter?
It tastes just like my mom's cooking.
You're saying it's good, right?
You know how I don't eat home food and just eat ramen.
It's clear that this is a restaurant on the verge of closing.
I'm here.
Did you eat? Do you want food?
Forget it. Who would eat your terrible food?
Why do you keep going into that storage?
- Storage?
- Did you hide a honeypot or something?
Geez, mind your own business!
And no one weird came by recently, right?
- You mean guys like you?
- Gosh, seriously!
Anyway, close the restaurant starting tomorrow. Okay?
Gosh, look at how he talks to his mother.
He's so rude.
Then, what does that make us when we're paying for this food?
Excuse me, Mr. Hwang.
Excuse me, where's the bathroom?
Go outside and go to your right.
Outside?
Aigoo, ma'am, please give us more kimchi.
Wow, the kimchi is fermented perfectly.
The kimchi is just
It's been a long time since anyone asked for more kimchi.
You could sell it separately.
Really?
[Authorized Personnel Only]
[Authorized Personnel Only]
What are you doing over there?
Gosh, I told you the bathroom was outside.
I'm sorry.
Gosh, he's not Korean.
[Seongil Prison]
Who is it?
Why don't they tell me?
Attorney Lee Han Sin.
Do you know me?
Aren't you Park Hee Jun?
- I am.
- Yeah, that's you.
With a clean-cut face, eloquent speech,
and excellent investment techniques,
you were once a mythical figure known as the Midas' hand of Hannam-dong.
Mythical figure? Gosh, that was such a long time ago.
You were doing well as a Hannam-dong investment rich man
before you plummeted after being arrested for the Junbong Holdings fraud incident.
I hear your accomplice Kim Bong Su is facing parole release soon.
Didn't you know?
He's on the parole review list,
and he's preparing to leave after paying damages to the victims.
Wait.
- He got on the list?
- Yes.
Unless things suddenly change, he might be released on parole.
If Kim Bong Su is released,
he'll probably go
and get the illegal proceeds by himself, right?
I mean, Attorney, I don't know what you're talking about.
Attorney,
there is no hidden money.
Really?
I guess you have nothing to worry about, then.
Oh, well
I thought the two had an agreement.
Okay then.
Hey, b-but
i-is it really true that Bong Su
is on the parole review list?
Would I come all the way here to lie to you?
What the heck
Hyung, do I really have to sell it?
If I sell it now, I'll only get a fraction of its worth!
Just sell it!
Sell it quickly and settle with the victims, bastard!
Watch it!
I'm telling you now. I'll buy you a new car when I get out.
Sell the car and settle with the victims! Got it?
Go and check if there are any problems with the items.
Also, there are rumors that Bong Su is leaving soon.
- Bong Su?
- Check if that rumor is true and come see me.
I'll go to the store first and check on the goods.
Okay, hang up.
[Jangju Restaurant]
Yes, Attorney.
Yes, I think it's definitely at Jangju Restaurant.
Did you eat?
Mind your own business.
Gosh, that asshole.
He should starve to come to his senses.
Why did I pick up the same card?
Sunbae.
He's out, he's out!
Is that Choi Jeong Hak? Are you sure?
I'm telling you, it's him.
What did I tell you? I told you Choi Jeong Hak would be here!
I told you!
Keep your wits about you.
We can't lose him this time.
Make sure the girl doesn't get hurt.
Excuse me.
Yes?
I think you dropped your wallet.
It's not mine.
What is this? Did she change boyfriends already?
I wonder if Choi Jeong Hak knows his girlfriend is cheating on him.
Seeing how his phone is off and there is no trace of daily movements,
I think he's gone deep into hiding.
It's going to be tough to catch that Choi Jeong Hak.
Yes, Attorney Lee.
- Lieutenant.
- Why do you keep asking me to come? I'm busy.
I have something to report.
It's really urgent. Could you help?
Am I the only cop?
Why do you keep calling me?
You're the only cop I can trust, Lieutenant.
Let me hear what it's about.
What is it that you need to report urgently?
I think that the restaurant is violating the origin labeling.
Violation of origin labeling?
Yes! My paralegal has very sensitive taste buds,
and he says they labeled their kimchi as domestic when it's actually from China.
Attorney Lee, I'm part of the Metropolitan Investigation Unit.
You can report to the district office-
You would know better than to do this.
There is a reason you're doing this, right?
Yes, you're right.
There may be illegal proceeds hidden in that restaurant
but there's no way to check.
Illegal proceeds?
You've heard of the Junbong Holdings investment fraud, right?
About 40 billion won in illegal proceeds weren't recovered at the time.
I believe that money is hidden in that restaurant.
Did you just say 40 billion won?
Yes. Forty billion won.
I think you're pretty interested now.
So, do you want to go on a treasure hunt with me?
[Jangju Restaurant]
Welcome! Sit wherever you'd like.
Hello.
Oh! It's that handsome guy.
I'm a police officer.
You were a police officer? Why are you here?
I received a complaint about a violation of origin labeling.
A complaint? From whom?
Gosh, it's not true.
I personally make my own kimchi
and I only use soybean paste, which I make myself.
I have to check because I received a complaint.
Pardon? Okay, you can head inside.
Why flip out after enjoying the food?
The door is open.
Did you find it?
♫ I'm a typhoon that wants to wipe away the unjust world ♫
♫ Those steps of cowards busy running away ♫
♫ Honestly, I want to recommend giving up ♫
♫ Sadly, this wasted life is a fraudulent sale ♫
♫ I wait for my opportunity and carefully hold my breath ♫
♫ I aim and zoom in at you with the last bullet of my life ♫
♫ Never again ♫
[Parole Examiner Lee]
You bastard!
You should buy that building.
Will you sell your restaurant if I pay you this much?
I think it's time for CEO Kim to be released on parole now.
He's trying to frame me as a school bully
- and have me ostracized for good.
- Stop right there!
You still haven't found Choi Jeong Hak?
- Freeze!
- Have you gone mad?
- This bastard!
- I don't work with criminals.
Forty billion! Recovery of illegal proceeds.
If you keep running wild without fear, you could end up dead.
