This is the report Lee Jeong-hwan wrote on Jeong Hyeon-cheol.
The Analysis Team
says it's likely that Lee Jeong-hwan
probably faked Jeong Hyeon-cheol's death and hid him somewhere.
SEND PHOTO? YES, NO
According to the analysis,
he is an over-90-percent match to Jeong Hyeon-cheol from 8 years ago.
Send in the men. Send in everyone available.
Come this way.
Go in that room!
How did they know we'd be here?
-What is this? -I'll lure them.
Take him to the car.
Okay. Be careful.
Okay. Then, I'll follow you, Jeong-hwan.
No. You have to protect Joo-eun.
Why? I'm the one who needs protection.
Hey, wait. Jeong-hwan!
-Hey, thugs! -You!
Hey!
Don't come closer.
Hey!
Stop!
You bastard!
Mr. Lee!
Mr. Lee Jeong-hwan.
Why don't you come out now?
If you keep hiding,
I'll stick a nail in your wife's face.
Get your hands off her.
Do you pay my salary?
Don't order me around. You're not my boss.
Come on out before I beat up your wife.
Fine.
I'll cut your hands off first. You just wait.
-What? -Hey.
Damn it.
I'll stop them. Get in the car and drive.
Start running as soon as I make a move.
Hey! Damn it!
Damn it.
Go upstairs.
Long time no see.
Director Jeong Hyeon-cheol.
Damn it.
Gosh, you were alive all along.
I got someone to impersonate you for nothing.
Goodness. That cute punk, Lee Jeong-hwan.
By the way,
you have your phone, right?
VIDEO HAS BEEN SAVED
Give it to me, so we can end this. Stop wasting my time.
Just hand over your phone then I'll let you off.
Goodness. You are still so frustrating.
By the way, depending on the quality of the photo, you might get a fat bonus.
No.
You'll never do that. That's not the kind of person you are.
Why? Because you're evil.
You tricked me eight years ago. I won't fall for that again.
You made people think that I was a sexual predator.
I'm sick of this.
I'm so sick
of living like this.
No!
Mr. Jeong. Mr. Jeong Hyeon-cheol.
Die, you bastard!
Damn it.
Jeong-hwan.
I'll come back to save you.
They lost Cha Joo-eun.
Damn it.
Where is it?
Where's what?
There are a lot of witnesses here.
They all saw you kill Jeong Hyeon-cheol
and take his phone.
Did you manage to give it to Cha Joo-eun in that short amount of time?
I guess you did.
Then,
let's see how strong your love is.
Search him.
-Look for the phone. -Oh, his phone.
What happened?
Are you all right?
Where's Jeong-hwan?
Let's find out what you saved her under.
MY LOVE
Jeong-hwan, are you all right?
This is Kim Jae-wook.
I'll cut to the chase.
You have Jeong Hyeon-cheol's phone, right?
Bring back the phone here.
Hello?
Hey, Cha Joo-eun.
Hey.
She hung up.
What's her problem?
Let's think.
Think, Joo-eun.
Lee Jeong-hwan probably knew it would turn out this way.
He should be waiting for me.
I have to come up with a plan.
Joo-eun.
Take this. This is very important. Keep it safe.
The number you have dialed…
What's her problem? Why isn't she answering the phone?
ALBUM, PHOTOS, VIDEOS
I won't see you off.
LEE DONG-JU, MINISTER OF LAND, 500 MILLION WON
-Hello. -Hello, sir.
KWON HYUK-JANG, CHIEF JUDGE, 400 MILLION WON
YOO BYUNG-JUN, CHIEF PROSECUTOR, 300 MILLION WON
This is for you.
PARK, HWAYEONG CITY MAYOR 300 MILLION WON
PARK, JANGHWA CONSTRUCTION 200 MILLION WON
KIM, KANGSU DAILY 150 MILLION WON
Everyone is in the photos.
Everyone in the ledger.
They are all scumbags.
The number you have dialed is currently…
She hung up on me when your life is in danger.
What do you think?
Joo-eun won't come back.
Why?
Because she knows that you're an asshole.
Fine. Then, let's try this out.
Why don't we send her a video?
A video of you losing a finger.
I can't wait to see how she'll react this time.
Hey, get me a knife.
-Film this. -Yes, sir.
MY LOVE
Did you finally realize that we need to talk like sensible adults?
I'll be there in 30 minutes. Don't lay a finger on him until then.
If you do, you'll never find Jeong Hyeon-cheol's phone.
Okay.
Let me warn you first. If you go to the police…
Hello?
Damn it. She hung up on me again!
How did he know?
Know what?
How did he know we were meeting
Jeong Hyeon-cheol there?
The person who attacked me that night was a woman.
Who are you? What are you doing here?
Was it this person?
And the female detective erased the CCTV footage.
Yes, it's her. She's the one who came by.
No way.
But she's a detective.
Jeong-hwan told me
that GK shadows could be anywhere.
They're people around us who we would least suspect.
Are you saying that Kim Jae-wook has Lee Jeong-hwan?
We don't have time. If we don't go now--
Okay.
I'll call for backup. Let's get going now.
Before that,
you need to do something for me.
What's this?
It's Director Jeong Hyeon-cheol's phone.
Give it to Detective Kang.
Is this really Jeong Hyeon-cheol's phone?
No.
Then what is it?
The one who attacked me the other night was Detective Kang.
I clearly remember now
those eyes.
MYUNG-HYUN
Yes, Myung-hyun.
What's up, Myung-hyun?
-Let's go. -Where to?
So, is this Jeong Hyeon-cheol's phone?
Keep it safe.
Okay.
Call the nearby police station for backup.
Okay.
Phone R. POW. ES.
What are you doing?
I keep getting weird text messages.
Call for backup quickly.
Okay.
This is Corporal Kang of Violent Crimes Team 3
of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.
NEW MESSAGE
Retrieved phone. Police on their way. Evacuate the site.
A backup has been called in.
And the 1325 phone is now moving to the location mentioned earlier.
Get out of there. The shadow took care of it.
What do you mean?
I can't tell you about the shadows in detail.
You already know that.
Leave. There's no time. The police will be there in ten minutes.
Yes, sir.
Lee Jeong-hwan's finger won't do.
See you later.
They got our location. We need to move now.
Yes, sir.
You know that
you've beat me up a lot, don't you?
So,
don't be upset.
You're just reaping what you sowed.
What is that?
What is it?
Get him. What is it?
Yes.
What? An attack?
If I go to jail this time…
I don't see Lee Jeong-hwan.
What happened?
Mr. Han,
I really, really, really respect you.
You did your best to help him
even though he's your rival in a way.
-That's how men should be, right? -A man's road.
A man's road or not,
why am I driving?
MO BYEONG-BOK CLINIC
I was afraid something would
happen to you.
I'm sorry I scared you like that.
It's okay.
While we were apart,
I missed you so much that I could die.
Same here.
The way you look, your face, and your smile.
If I had them in my heart,
I thought I could remember them even if we were apart.
I thought I could picture them whenever I wanted.
But I was wrong.
Strangely,
I could hardly remember your face
no matter how much I missed you.
That's why I have to be with you.
I want to say something
that I didn't tell you.
Thank you, really,
for being alive.
I'm sorry. Are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
I should have been careful not to hurt my lips.
Gosh, those bastards.
Those terrible bastards.
How dare they hurt my husband's lips.
What's this?
Joo-eun gave you this saying that it was Jeong Hyeon-cheol's?
Yes, sir.
You've been exposed.
Clean up the traces of 1325.
Sir.
Get out.
I'll do my best if you give me another chance.
I will never make a mistake again.
Do you know what kind of a mistake you've made?
Before we take follow-up measures, get out.
If you don't want to die in a car accident,
quit the police and find a new job.
Do you want me to help you out?
You're a detective, but you didn't even notice a tail?
You're unqualified in many ways.
Tell me about that car
before I run the plate.
You are
a GK shadow?
Myung-hyun.
I'm sorry.
You're really scary.
What should I do?
Tell me.
Let's…
just not see each other any more.
Myung-hyun.
I'm really sorry.
It was you.
You were the one who made it hard for me
and made me regret the job I was doing.
What's up? You never call me first.
I'm busy, so you have to make it quick. Summarize your question.
Get to the point and make it simple.
Sure.
Have you been approaching Assemblyman Yoo Byung-jun?
What's your plan?
A good plan.
Where is President Choi's ledger?
Did you think I'd never find out,
Ms. Jeong Yoon-kyung?
Don't worry.
I don't care how you've been living.
Because we're strictly business.
So, what kind of business do you want to talk about?
Is your plan by any chance
to become the First Lady
or something like that?
If so, I want to tell you that it's impossible.
The very moment
he finds out who you really are, you'll be finished.
You're terrible at doing business.
Business is about
exchanging what each party wants. It has to be a win-win game.
It's not about ending a relationship on a cold note like you.
Anyway, thanks for ending our relationship neatly.
By the way, First Lady.
I like the sound of that. Thanks for the idea.
And
I'm not Jeong Yoon-kyung. I'm Sophia Chung.
You're here.
I'm on time, but you came early.
Because I was eager to see you.
I guess that made me light-footed.
Today
I'm going to tell you an interesting story.
I'm excited.
I'll tell you my real name, so listen carefully.
Jeong
Yoon-kyung.
That's my real name.
I see.
Doesn't it sound familiar?
Jeong Yoon…
Kyung?
YEAR 2007
UI CONSTRUCTION SECRETARY OFFICE EXCHANGE STATEMENT
Did you find anything on Jeong Yoon-kyung?
Yes, sir.
JOB APPLICATION
You're right. I'm that Jeong Yoon-kyung.
How dare you.
Sit down. I'm not finished yet.
Don't you dare get cheeky.
Don't you want President Choi's ledger?
Weren't you looking for it desperately?
I'm sure you can tell by now.
That's right.
I have that ledger, too.
And I know Kim Jae-wook pretty well.
He'd never hand the ledger over to you.
You also know that, don't you?
I believe we can be great partners.
Our next honored guests are Assembly Yoo from the Conservative Reform Party
and Sophia Chung, an environmentalist from France.
Let's invite them to the stage.
It's the file on Candidate Nam Hyeon-jeong that was in the ledger.
-Yoo Byung-jun! -Yoo Byung-jun!
The current government
is old-fashioned and is unwilling to change.
Take a look,
and you'll realize how greedy she is.
She took bribes from Choi regularly.
But then again, everyone in that ledger is the same.
Don't destroy her, though.
Convince her to support you instead.
Do you understand?
Okay.
Thank you. Goodbye.
What is this?
A surprise when it's not even my birthday?
I'm in a pickle right now.
What did you do this time?
What is it?
-I know. -That?
That you met with Yoo Byung-jun and Kim Jae-wook.
What are you scheming?
Everything's going well, so don't worry.
Fine.
I'll come clean first.
Jeong-hwan and I have joined hands with Ms. Oh.
We're all helping Kwon Hyuk-jang.
So what the hell are you doing with Candidate Yoo?
I thought we were in this together.
To catch Kim Jae-wook.
You said we were a team.
You said you wanted to ruin all of his plans.
So what are you doing with Yoo Byung-jun?
You're practically rooting for Kim Jae-wook.
Want a glass?
No, thanks.
Are you doing this
to make Kim Jae-wook jealous?
That's not a revenge.
You're only ruining yourself.
So quit it.
Is that why you told Lawyer Oh about me?
Sophia Chung's real name is Jeong Yoon-kyung.
Jeong Yoon-kyung.
See? You're no different.
You have your reasons,
just like I have mine.
Got that?
We all just want
to become happy. That's all.
Want to hear a tacky story?
It's about a woman from the countryside
who became a local news announcer.
She wanted to become the main news anchor.
Hello.
Her score and skills
when joining the company had nothing to do with the kind of job she'd have.
-What? Wait-- -There were countless other factors
that were far more important.
A league.
They had created a league of their own.
ANNOUNCER TEAM
Min-jeong, is the script ready?
Oh, that…
Here you go.
She was the executive's niece.
Come in.
Thanks.
Ten seconds until standby.
At around 6:10 p.m. today, a fire broke out at a factory
in Masang-dong, Gongju, Chungcheongnam-do.
Okay.
We've just received…
Received…
Goodbye.
-Congratulations. -Thank you.
-She was assigned
-to the Seoul headquarters. -Congratulations.
The announcer from the countryside was transferred to a radio station.
-You're going to Seoul. -You should treat us.
I'm so sad that you're leaving.
-Thank you. -It's sad.
-See you soon. -I hope so.
No matter how hard she tried, she could never join their league.
Come in.
She's here.
Hey.
Hello.
It's nice to meet you.
I'm Producer Lee Man-gi.
This is Seung-taek.
Hello.
Sit here and wait.
That was when she got the wrong idea.
She became curious
about those in the league.
That's why I'm thinking
about joining them.
Then perhaps, I could be a bit happier.
All right.
I'll leave now.
Sure.
You should also tell that announcer…
about how you're living now.
SPY DETECTIVE AGENCY
And the reinvestigation of Jeong Hyeon-cheol?
It's a standstill.
They'll have it drag on for a few months then cover it up once the dust settles.
I'm sorry.
Had it not been for Detective Kang, we would've had
full control over that case.
What happened to her?
She resigned and vanished.
GK shadows are terrifying.
And Jeong Hyeon-cheol's body?
It's safe.
What's your plan?
They even created a fake Jeong Hyeon-cheol.
I won't allow them to use his body as well.
What's your next move?
I should let everyone know
what a filthy asshole Yoo Byung-jun is.
They need to know that he should never become the president.
This is tough.
Yet the weather is beautiful.
What will you do?
We should stop them all.
The news, the police…
All of them.
Reporter Kim Gi-cheol?
Mr. Jeong Hyeon-cheol?
No, I'm his younger brother.
I see.
He wanted you to have this.
Thank you for mustering up the courage.
Hey!
I can upload it. However,
no one will see it out.
All the popular channels will be monitored by GK.
As you know, we need to spread this as much as we can.
If not, no one will believe it.
This isn't celebrity gossip.
Kwon Hyuk-jang is our only bet.
What's wrong?
Because both Yoo Byung-jun and Kwon Hyuk-jang are scumbags?
Let's just focus on what we can do.
Let the world know about their true faces.
Leave the decision up to people, not us.
Joo-eun.
Yes?
I think I got myself a fine wife.
You better treat me well if you know that.
Okay.
CONSERVATIVE REFORM PARTY
Hello.
I'm Candidate Nam Hyeon-jeong from the Conservative Reform Party.
As of this moment,
I'm officially withdrawing my candidacy.
I am truly grateful
for all the support I received from the people and our party members.
In addition, I will be supporting Candidate Yoo Byung-jun.
I also ask that our party members
support Mr. Yoo Byung-jun in this race as well.
Thank you.
Hello.
They've owned this store for 20 years.
I see.
-Hello. -Hello.
-Goodness. -I'm too far away.
How's business these days?
Gosh, it's really difficult.
As you can see, many people don't shop at the market.
I see. Hang in there.
It will get better for you.
Okay. Thank you.
Goodness. You're giving me too much.
That's enough.
This place has the best tteokbokki.
-Try some. -Thank you.
It's really tasty.
Let me give you more.
-Enjoy. -Enjoy.
-Hello. -How much would you like?
HELPING THE ELDERLY WITH ASSEMBLYMAN YOO BYUNG-JUN
One, two…
The piglet is almost done with building the house.
A wolf is seen salivating from afar.
"This is good.
I'll gobble them all up tomorrow."
"No! Help me!"
Things are looking up.
You should be more careful at times like this.
If you get into a scandal--
Are you talking about Sophia Chung?
I'll get rid of her soon. Don't you worry.
That foolish woman.
DEPUTY CHIEF KIM JAE-WOOK
THIS IS LEE JEONG-HWAN
I apologize.
No, it's okay.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
I trust that you'll put it to good use. I'll get going now, sir.
Mr. Lee.
Thank you.
Goodbye, sir.
As a token of gratitude, I'll tell you something important next time.
I'll look forward to it, sir.
I'm Assemblyman Kwon Hyuk-jang.
Recently, unverified slanderous remarks about me have been spreading.
As a result,
I have decided to reveal a shocking photo to you all.
Here it is.
This is what you call proof,
not some scribbles written by an unidentifiable individual.
This is what you would consider a hard evidence
that cannot be refuted by anyone.
We can't see the photo well. Please bring it closer.
Please show it to this side.
A bit more to this side.
Did you not keep an eye
on those around him?
Well, I did give out orders, but Lee Jeong-hwan
was too quick.
Put an end to everything you were doing.
Remove all traces.
Don't get the wrong idea.
This order isn't from me.
Assemblyman Yoo is guilty of receiving three billion won from President Choi
in return for handing over
Jeong Hyeon-cheol's phone that could have served as critical evidence.
Assembly Yoo was loved by the people for his upright image.
Jeong-hwan.
I'm craving some kimchi stew.
The four steps?
The three steps.
Right.
There will be no more fighting dirty after this.
Do you understand?
As long as they keep their end of the bargain.
I don't think you quite understood what I meant.
You should never go against the owner's wishes.
Sir.
Mr. Lee called several times.
Turn the car around.
I don't want to go there.
I'll see you soon.
Okay. I won't be long.
Be quick.
Okay.
Sir.
Sir!
Call the police.
Ma'am, are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Goodness.
Oh, no.
Can you stand up?
Goodness. Welcome.
It's nice to meet you.
Please.
The ones who murdered Kwon Hyuk-jang will be…
Kim Jae-wook and Lee Jeong-hwan.
Both of them.
We will now proceed with the operation
to catch them.
WOOK'S GUKBAP
It's me, your friend.
You startled me.
I'll never be promoted
if I keep counting on you.
Do you want to hear your Miranda rights?
You know how to use them.
Cuff yourself.
Stop, Lee Jeong-hwan!
PRIVATE LIVES
The first step in pulling a con…
There's something I want to do.
…is to understand your target's needs as accurately as possible.
You need to know their wants,
their hopes,
and their desires.
I can't waste all of that because of you.
I guess your heyday is over.
-What about Cha Joo-eun? -I think we're the same.
You ordered the hit and beat them up. What are you trying to pull?
Who do you think is behind it?
It will be hard to live in Korea as a fugitive.
I'm sorry.
We should both be punished.
