Hurry up and kill me before you run into them.

Please open the door.

(Taxi Driver)
Mr. Jang, I'm debuting as a writer.
Some publishers already found out about my work and contacted me.
Why would anyone publish that?
There must be at least one person in the world...
who'd understand me.
So that was it.
What you needed was people's attention.
Are you scared of being forgotten?
Is that bad?
This book will never come out into the world.
I'm going to stop it, whatever it takes.
Listen.
Those who have lost their families...
have something...
like a ticking time bomb in their hearts.
We don't know when it'll explode,
so we just try to suppress it and live on.
What you're trying to do is...
lighting the fuse of the bomb in someone's heart.
They can just not read it.
Whatever it takes, I'm going to publish that book.
Do you know why I've been meeting you?
To forgive you?
No.
It was to learn more about you.
Watch carefully.
Watch how I break you down.
Mom.
How have you been?
I'm sorry I didn't come often because I've been so busy.
I'm your son. I should've come more often.
Mom,
why did you do that?
I could've protected you.
Why did you protect me instead?
I'm never going to forgive...
the man who did that to you.
I'm going to make him regret it.
Just watch.
So you just...
count on me and don't worry.
Just be well.
Okay?
(Choi Eun Ju)
Stay well, Mom.
I'll be back soon.
(Choi Eun Ju)
Mr. Jang.
Did you have a good time with your mom?
Yes.
Shall we walk a little?
Life is so ironic.
Now, after we've decided to stop taking revenge,
the real killer showed up.
Will you get revenge again?
To be honest, I don't know how.
I'm sure.
Killing that jerk now...
would only be showing him mercy.
Then what?
Are you telling me not to do anything?
I wanted to get revenge too, just as you do.
But you know better than anyone...
what that did to me.
Do Ki.
Revenge...
isn't completed by ruining the other person.
Only when you can live your own life...
is your revenge complete.
We've already put Kim Chul Jin in the deluxe taxi.
We never turn our backs on a passenger.
And we don't do revenge that harms the client.
This doesn't apply just to Kim Chul Jin.
Both you and I are clients this time.
Sir.
I'll commission you too.
I can't forgive Oh Chul Young.
Me too.
I can't be the odd man out. Me too.
We won't break the law for this commission.
Our team won't be hurt either.
I may be an incompetent CEO,
but would you please trust me one last time?
Yes, sir.
("Oh Chul Young's Confessions")
First, we must stop his book from being published.
How can we make him give it up?
He has nothing to lose as you say.
The only thing that can stop him...
is his son.
We've talked about many things over the past few years...
when I visited him regularly.
I felt it every time I saw him. He loves his son a great deal.
A psychopath can have fatherly love?
There are some psychopaths...
who are obsessed with and love their offspring.
Oh Chul Young is one of them.
He not only loves his son, he fears him.
Does his son know who his father is?
I'm not sure. I thought not since they parted so long ago,
but Go Eun found something shocking.
That son is a prison guard at the prison Oh Chul Young is in.
Goosebumps. So he knew. That can't be a coincidence.
Then doesn't that mean Oh Chul Young knew too?
No. He didn't seem to.
What if the son went there knowingly?
Why would he have done that?
It couldn't be because he missed his dad, right?
It may be.
If the son is a psychopath as well,
he probably idolizes his dad.
Young man. You are such a good son.
My son never comes to visit.
His mother is in a nursing home with dementia.
It's too hard for us to keep doing this.
I'm sorry. I'll pay by the end of the week.
The monthly bills for medication and the nursing home are huge.
I'm sorry.
He owes a lot to loan sharks too.
If you borrow money from someone, you should pay them back.
Please! Let me live, you jerks.
What? Hey. Get him.
You little...
You jerk.
- You... - Excuse me.
May I get a stir-fried blood sausage?
Get lost before I make blood sausage out of your intestines.
I'm really craving it today.
Get over here.
I'll make sure you never eat blood sausage again.
Boss! Why you...
You jerk.
Oh my gosh. Hey!
Who is that jerk?
This is on the house.
Gosh. You didn't have to.
I'm just thankful, that's why. Here.
Thank you.
Let me pour you one.
Okay.
It's hard running a business, isn't it?
My mom ran a tent bar.
I helped her a lot since I was a kid so I'm used to it.
I might not look like it, but I'm a skilled worker.
My mother did something similar.
My father passed away when I was young,
so my mother was the breadwinner.
Me too.
It would've been easier for her if my father had been around.
Then did your father also...
That was what I had thought...
but I found out by chance.
I think he's alive.
Hyun Soo.
Don't look for your dad.
Don't do it.
Is Father...
alive?
I'm hungry. Feed me quickly.
I don't know why he left us,
but I'm sure he had a reason.
My father was a great man.
- He doesn't know... - He was talented.
anything.
He was very warm.
I remember the ramyeon he made for us every Sunday morning.
I don't know what he put in it.
I can't get it to taste the same no matter what I put in it.
Don't you resent him?
I'd be lying if I said I didn't.
But still, I wish I could see him.
Should I find him for you?
I'll find him for you if you want.
What line of work are you in?
I'm a taxi driver.
Yes.
- I'll come back again. - Okay.
What are you thinking?
I don't think he knows who caused his misery.
Han Dong Chan's life is filled with pain already.
We'll let him decide for himself.
Hey.
Dong Chan.
I work here.
I see.
What brings you here?
I came to visit someone.
- Who? - Oh Chul Young.
Do you know Oh Chul Young?
Do you know him too?
Of course. He's the most evil inmate here.
He's arrogant...
and harasses the guards so much.
How do you know him?
I came because someone I know asked me to.
You mean the people-finding service?
Someone actually wants to find Oh Chul Young?
How would you feel, Dong Chan,
if your father...
wasn't the good person you thought he was?
What if he were the opposite?
I'd be disappointed,
but he's still my father.
Do you have time later? I have something to tell you.
Yes.
Then I'll see you later.
Have you recovered now?
I felt bad for you last time.
Take care of yourself.
Your mother protected you, after all.
Do you know what my job is?
I'm a taxi driver.
Didn't your mother say you were in the military?
Well, I guess the military life didn't suit you.
I provide rides for special clients in my taxi.
They're clients who seek revenge.
That's interesting.
But this time, instead of other people's revenge,
I'm thinking about taking my own.
Against me?
How will you take your revenge?
Will you kill me?
What would I gain from killing you?
Your son is a different story though.
I met Oh Hyun Soo.
Don't lie. How would you find him?
You must be great at making ramyeon.
He said that the ramyeon his father made every weekend...
was really delicious.
- What's your secret? - You punk.
That child has done nothing wrong. Don't touch him.
It's not like you killed my mother because she did something wrong.
Hyun Soo really misses his dad.
That's why I'm going to tell him.
You can't.
When would be the best time?
Right away?
Or maybe I'll wait.
If he gets married one day,
I might tell him then.
What do you think?
I'm sorry.
What do you want? Just say it.
The people you killed,
they begged just like this, didn't they?
How does it feel?
I'll tell you my conditions slowly.
First, ask to be transferred to another prison.
But why?
It's not like they'll accept even if I request it.
I thought you said you'd do whatever I asked.
All right. I'll do it.
Then you won't touch Hyun Soo, will you?
Could you get me...
a photo of Hyun Soo, perhaps?
I'm begging you.
I'm sorry for making you wait.
How did your visit go?
I'm sorry for not telling you in advance.
Government workers aren't allowed to work second jobs.
Don't worry. I'll pretend I don't know anything.
- Shall we walk? - All right.
You said you had something to tell me.
You said your mother was at a care facility, right?
There's a hospital connected to the foundation I work for.
There's an open spot.
It's a nice facility,
and the foundation will pay for the hospital bills...
if you'd like to move your mother there.
But why...
would you help me?
You're just lucky, Dong Chan.
Dong Chan.
I've never heard that before.
I couldn't find your father.
I'm sorry.
No, don't worry. This is more than enough.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Thank you.
How could this happen?
Oh Chul Young's son is a guard at the prison where he's being held?
That's why I have a request.
When Oh Chul Young puts in a request for a transfer...
I know what you mean. I'll try my best to get it approved.
Thanks.
Are you not going to tell Oh Chul Young until the end?
I'm not.
Even if he misses his son,
I won't even allow him the image of a face to yearn for.
Oh, my gosh, that's amazing!
I took a look at the prison in your building's basement.
I also heard how it was used.
Ms. Kang. Oh, Ms. Kang!
So it was Oh Chul Young.
The one who killed Kim Do Ki's mom was Oh Chul Young.
My goodness!
There, you kept Park Ju Chan, Cho Jong Geun, Choi Jong Sook,
and others locked up. Do you acknowledge this fact?
I just rented out the space.
The tenant was the one who decided how to use it.
But there's no lease contract signed by Jang Sung Chul.
There's no record of money transfers either.
If you check the security cameras,
you'll find all the evidence you so love.
There weren't any.
I looked through all the security footage,
but I couldn't find any that had Jang Sung Chul on it.
I'm sure it's one of two things again.
Either someone destroyed evidence, or someone gave false testimony.
There are plenty of witnesses.
I'm sure they all told you...
who it was that threw them into that prison.
How can I believe the word of criminals?
What if it's all a plot they're in on together?
Look, Ms. Kang.
If you conduct the investigation with so much bias,
it'll be a problem.
Why do you believe it's biased?
(Personal Items)
I've caused you a lot of trouble until now.
Please don't cause any trouble at your new place.
All right. I won't.
I caused you a lot of pain all this time.
No, it's all right.
What are you talking about?
The patient who was supposed to be transferred here,
Ms. Han Mi Ae...
She passed away.
(Rest in peace.)
(Meeting Room)
It's a long way here from Seoul, isn't it?
Don't even get me started. I messed with the wrong guy.
It doesn't matter.
I won't be coming back again.
I'm the one...
who sent you here.
You?
That was my last bit of grace for you.
What are you talking about?
I heard that you hurt yet another person on your way.
That punk?
I just taught him a little lesson.
Did he run right to you and tell on me?
You moved me here because of him, didn't you?
Did you think I wouldn't know?
Hey!
Hey! Get him!
Did you get him?
(Establish Law and Order)
Seriously!
That officer was hospitalized for four weeks, thanks to you.
And consequently, he couldn't visit his mother with dementia.
When her son didn't visit her,
Officer Han Dong Chan's mother...
Hyun Soo...
My Hyun Soo!
Her dream was to have her son become a public servant.
She thought that was the best way to live a normal life.
That's what she always used to say.
Despite his difficult circumstances, he passed his exam...
I'm starting to get bored.
How much longer do I need to listen?
Had she not gotten dementia,
she probably...
wouldn't have sent her son to the prison his father is in.
Officer Han Dong Chan.
He's your son, Hyun Soo.
Are you kidding me?
You said you wanted this.
You're lying, aren't you?
This is all made-up, right?
Thanks to you,
your son lost his only family.
Your disgusting insanity...
hurt your son too.
No...
I couldn't have.
I...
Hold on!
Tell me this isn't true!
I never thought you'd buy me eel.
- I'm paying you back for my debt. - What debt?
The eel that you bought me that one time.
After the search and seizure?
Why are you bringing that up? You're embarrassing me.
You shouldn't be embarrassed.
They say the guilty one gets upset at others.
I'm sorry I got mad at you.
Ms. Kang is right.
I kidnapped criminals using the deluxe cab.
Who turns himself in while eating eels?
- You're kidding, right? - Ask Ms. Kang.
She's on the case.
I'm sorry I'm telling you so late.
Are you serious?
Sung Chul.
Eat. Aren't you going to eat?
How do you expect me to eat right now?
You're going to regret this.
This is the first and the last time I'm buying you eel.
You'll visit me in prison, right?
You tell your juniors to do everything for you anyway.
How can you be cracking jokes?
I don't know, I just can.
I feel strangely at ease.
I don't think I've ever been so at ease like this.
Have another glass.
My work is done.
What about you?
Did you look into it thoroughly?
Yes.
Did you bring the warrant?
Or is this worthy of an emergency arrest?
Mr. Kim Do Ki, I...
I don't think I can arrest you.
I don't have enough evidence.
Why do you think it's unfair?
There's no evidence of it,
but you keep trying to make it seem like Jang Sung Chul and Kim Do Ki...
were your co-conspirators in abuse, kidnapping, and imprisoning people.
You could just go with harboring a criminal.
Discuss it with your lawyer...
and think about what's better for you.
You're not doing this to help me.
It looks like...
I'll use this to strangle you one day.
I'd rather quit than to have you strangle me.
Baek Sung Mi won't mention the secret jail.
This might put you at risk.
Are you worried for me?
I'll protect myself.
But I did do it.
I broke the law.
Did I say you didn't?
But there were extenuating circumstances.
Even if you let 100 guilty people go free,
you must not imprison a single innocent person.
You protected the victims...
of those 100 people.
Even if it meant breaking the law.
If you don't arrest me,
you'll be breaching your duty.
I'll deal with it.
Mr. Kim.
You are worth it.
I know the law isn't perfect.
Thank you for protecting the people...
that we had missed.
Ms. Kang.
I'm sure we won't meet like this again.
If and when we do meet again,
let's not fight anymore.
(Letter of Resignation)
Gosh. There you go again.
How many times have I told you?
You need to stick with it.
If someone like you quits,
it'll be the bad guys who will rejoice.
I'm not qualified to judge someone by the law.
You don't seem to know...
what kind of a person you are.
Can't you take a little more courage?
I just can't find...
that courage.
Come in.
Why are you walking in so quietly?
What is all of this?
I've resigned.
- What? - Why?
Are you flustered because you wanted to quit...
and I beat you to it?
You punk.
Did you really bring your letter of resignation?
Fine.
Give it to me.
(Letter of Resignation)
Did you decide to bury Rainbow Transport's case?
- Did you know? - You think this is enough...
to make up for it?
I commissioned them as well.
I'm not qualified to be a prosecutor.
Break the rules only as a prosecutor.
Don't be a coward and run away.
Catch exactly 100 more big fish like Chairman Baek.
No more, no less.
This is an order.
- But... - I'm the one...
that buried Rainbow Transport's case, not you.
This is a favor.
Why did you all come out?
- Thank you for everything. - Work hard.
Thank you for everything.
- Thank you for everything. - Work hard.
Thank you for everything.
Hey, aren't you starting next week?
I'm not starting yet. I came to take a walk.
I wanted to take a look around.
Who takes a walk in the Prosecutors' Office?
You all know her, right?
She's my successor.
Do Joong Won. Your new deputy chief prosecutor.
She's my Institute classmate.
- Hello, ma'am! - Hello, ma'am!
You're done saying bye, right?
We want to see him leave first.
Is Mr. Cho leaving the country?
He lives in the next town over. Why are you being so clingy?
Later. See you around.
Okay, thanks.
Bring reports on your pending cases to my office.
In ten minutes.
Get going.
- Bye, sir. - Bye, sir.
Aren't you going?
After you leave.
She'll crush you if you do that.
I'll get crushed then.
I was proud to call you one of my own.
Keep it up.
Do it your way. Always.
Later.
- Goodbye, sir. - Bye.
Thanks for everything.
So? Do you have plans?
I'm going back to where I was before.
Me too. Luckily, they had an opening.
Wow. You must've been good at your jobs.
Go Eun?
I'm taking a civil service exam next week.
What?
Doesn't that take years?
Are you taking it for practice? As a warm-up?
Hold on. Shouldn't we buy you taffy to wish you luck?
- You don't give taffy anymore. - What?
Who eats taffy nowadays?
You buy them chocolate.
To wish you the best of luck.
Good luck on the exam.
- This is it. - Gosh.
What's your plan, Kim?
I plan to travel and go where my feet take me.
Okay.
And you?
Me? Well... I'm always here.
Thanks for everything.
I was able to start thanks to all of you,
and I was able to stop thanks to all of you.
Some are going back to where they came from,
some are making new starts,
and some are leaving.
But I hope all of you...
will be happy and find peace wherever you are.
(Deluxe)
I thought you lost muscle.
It's a waste to drink soda after working out.
This is protein.
Don't lie. It says "Sparkling" on the can.
They make it like this now so it's easy to intake.
Wow.
I guess I won't see you work out in the moonlight anymore.
You know,
I liked what we did. I didn't care what anyone said.
I'll never forget my time with Rainbow Transport.
You know how important your role...
in Rainbow Transport was, don't you?
You did great.
Thank you.
Thank you...
for being by my side...
when things were tough.
It was a blessing for me to have a colleague...
like you.
Take care of yourself.
You too.
I'll miss you.
Make sure you eat properly.

(One year later)
(Lawyer, Defendant)
My gosh, look at him.
So it was that guy.
Look how scary his face looks.
My gosh.
Goodness.
About 20 years ago,
the witness' blood was found on the body of the victim,
and the witness already revealed several times...
that he had murdered the victim.
(Witness)
Let me ask you once again.
Are you the real criminal...
who killed the victim in this case?
Witness, please sit down.
Yes, I am the real criminal.
- What? - What did he say?
- So it was him. - He said he was the criminal.
- What's going on? - He's the real criminal.
My goodness, the real criminal.
To Kim Chul Jin, who was framed for what I did,
and spent 20 years in jail because of me,
I deeply apologize.
I'm very sorry.
He should've been the one to pay for his crimes.
- That's true. - That's right.
Additionally,
to all the victims and their family members,
I deeply apologize.
I will accept my punishment until the day I die.
- So they got the wrong person. - Right.
- How could this be? - He should be punished.
- How can he say that now? - What a scumbag.
- He's scum. - What a lowlife.
Mr. Kim, congratulations.
- Thank you. - Thank you so much.
You've been through so much.
Now hurry on home.
Good work.
No news about Baek Sung Mi and the twins yet?
No, we'll know next week.
I just hope they don't get a reduced sentence.
So the twins got life,
but Baek Sung Mi only got ten years.
She's impressive.
She's the one who had the criminals released...
on suspended sentences.
She shouldn't be underestimated.
She must be backed by one of the big law firms.
They should be donating that kind of money to me instead.
Why you?
Me? I'm doing so much good work.
I'm an expert on retrials.
Isn't this your first retrial?
I'm going to keep doing this. Forever.
All right, let's keep doing this.
That will be 12 dollars.
Please use this card.
All right, I'll ring you up.
This building on Hweshin-ro in Paju, Gyeonggi Province...
belongs to you, Ms. Baek Kyung Mi. Is that correct?
Paju?
Did I have a building there?
It's held under a foreign paper company.
It's a subsidiary of Nakwon C and C.
Oh, I see.
I did take over my sister's businesses...
but haven't figured it all out yet.
- Why do you ask? - You do know that the building...
is being used for prostitution, right?
The building owner doesn't know anything after renting it out.
How could I know that?
It's not like I only have a couple of buildings.
Wow.
I guess some things do run in the family.
That's exactly what Baek Sung Mi said one year ago.
In that chair.
All right, all right.
I'll get rid of it. It's no problem.
I'll cooperate with you the whole way, Ms. Kang.
Just keep my sister in prison, okay?
You must not have a great relationship?
What do you mean?
I love my sister very much.
We just have different ways of showing it.
Baek Sung Mi. Darn it.
You catch one and another one just like her pops up.
How stressful.
Ms. Kang, lighten up.
Stress will just make me age.
Come out, wherever you are. I'll catch all of you.
Still, your skin looks a lot better these days.
It looks so dewy.
Really?
- You can have this. - Thank you.
Yes, this is the office of Prosecutor Kang.
Just a moment please.
Ms. Kang, the citizen who nabbed the gangster yesterday,
we looked up his car plates and it appears to be a deluxe taxi.
Did they check the security footage?
I'll ask them now.
Where was the location?
Could I get the security footage?
It's so simple.
Hey, Kim Chul Jin's retrial went well.
I saw the news.
He asked me to thank you...
for finding his family for him.
Shouldn't you be getting ready to get back to work?
The Blue Bird Foundation and Rainbow Transport...
are both really understaffed.
I don't intend to come back yet.
Mr. Jang, you should also travel before you get any older.
Should I come to you?
- No. - Why not?
I don't want to be disturbed in this big and refreshing park.
I'm hanging up now.
- Are you all done? - Yes, here you go.
All right, thank you.
(Prosecutor)
(Defendant)
Here is the final verdict.
- Just keep going. - I will.
Look, it's a cop.
Hi there. Salute!
4754. Stop your vehicle.
Stop the vehicle.
- 4754. Stop the car. - I don't want to.
- Look, it's a cop. - Hey, stop the car.
Would you look at these punks?
Wait, what is this?
Gosh, what is this?
Good day.
You ran a red light.
You're not wearing seatbelts either.
Please give me your IDs.
Violating the traffic signal, not wearing a seatbelt,
and the same for your passenger too. I'll write you up for everything.
- Really? - Yes. All of it.
Gu Young Tae's appeal is denied.
He will serve life in prison as originally sentenced.
Check the maximum speed that it reached...
Gu Seok Tae's appeal is denied.
He will serve life in prison as originally sentenced.
Sir. The countdown will begin in ten minutes.
Are we ready?
Yes, sir.
Shall we go?
Finally, Baek Sung Mi.
Baek Sung Mi.
Her original sentence of ten years is hereby revoked.
Instead, we sentence her to 20 years in prison.

Hey. You need to filter out the clientele better.
Hey! Get them all!
Stop them!
If you let them through, you're dead!
Baby, what's going on?
Don't worry about a thing.
Get out!
- Who are you? - A prosecutor...
who locks up scum like you.
I see. You're a prosecutor.
Then take that.
You twerp.
- Arrest them. - Yes, ma'am.
(Rainbow Deluxe Taxi)
We have shocking news.
An entire family was found dead in their house in Seoul last night.
The police are hunting Kang,
who they think stalked them.
We've had another random crime.
The police have arrested and are interrogating A,
for stabbing and killing someone he had never met before.
Why are you looking at me?
- I can't wait. - I'm going to eat a lot.
A couple in their 30s who assaulted and dumped...
their five-year-old child whom they had adopted...
was arrested today.
