Inside Men

Synopsis: Lee Kang-hee is an editorialist of a influential newspaper in South Korea. With the power of the press, he makes the congressman Jang Pil-woo to one of the candidates of the next presidential election. That is the result of a secret deal between Lee and Ahn Sang-goo, a political henchman of Jang Pil-woo. But Ahn makes an almost fatal error, when he gets caught pocketing the record on the Jang's slush fund. The prosecutor Woo Jang-hoon is about to investigate and becomes absolutely determined, because the case would help him making big steps in his career. Ahn gets in real trouble, when he gets dropped by Jang and should have been killed, but is able to flee. Now a bitter war starts between one who is lusting for power, the one who wants vengeance and the one who is eager for success.

SHOWBOX presents

Shall we begin?

Why did you do that?

I assume you had a reason

for doing this.

Reporter, you like movies?

I loved watching

old movies.

I used to love this music...

Have you seen "Chinatown"?

Jack Nicholson acts

as a private investigator

working as a detective agency...

A lady comes in and

hires him to tail her husband

but the husband gets killed

and the wife was a fake.

Then, the real wife shows up...

Anyways, it's complicated, you know

the conspiracy and twist...

The truth that comes at the end

is ugly and dirty...

So, don't you want to know

the truth?

Hey, pay attention here.

Was it for justice or revenge?

I'll come to that later...

Bad guys beat up

Jack Nicholson, you know.

We can talk about

the movie later...

I'm not here to watch

a movie.

Don't cut me off

and listen to me.

I'll get to the point now.

So, anyways...

God damn it, f***.

Jack Nicholson's nose was wacked

but he goes to the wife

and says

It looks like half the city

is trying to cover it all up

which is fine with me.

But Mrs. Mulwray,

I goddam nearly lost my nose.

And I like it.

I like breathing through it.

So why the hell are you doing this?

You must have a reason

for doing all this.

For justice? Revenge?

I don't care about any of that.

But, Mr. Reporter...

Damn it, I lost my hand.

I like my hand.

I like eating with it...

wiping my ass with it...

and jerking off with it...

Yes.

It seems a prosecutor's investigation

is inevitable.

Yes, we need to find a way

to quiet down the public.

Yes.

I got this from Moon Il-seok,

former accountant at Mirae Motors.

It shows Mirae made a slush fund

with 3 billion from Hangyul Bank

and gave 30 million to Congressman Jang

for his election campaign.

Is it true that sex favors were

offered at Oh's villa?

Who were the women

forced into it?

You claimed Oh and Jang

retaliated against you.

Could you specify?

How did you meet Oh and Jang?

Through Lee Kang-hee,

editor-in-chief of Nation Daily.

And what's your relationship

with Lee?

That's a long story.

So let me reveal it

to the prosecutor.

Can you tell us anything more?

Ahn, president of a talent agency,

revealed today at press conference

that Mirae Motors set up

a slush fund of $3 billion

via an illegal loan

from Hangyul Bank.

Congressman Jang Pil-woo,

the New Party's presidential candidate

exerted pressure behind

the scenes, according to Ahn.

Sex favors were also allegedly offered

at Mirae Motors Chairman Oh's villa.

Mirae Motors and

Congressman Jang's office

have denied all allegations,

and said they are more than

willing to take legal action.

My conscience is clear before

the people of this country.

I have never received

money or favors from Mirae Motors.

I can stake my political life on it.

I will continue on my path,

alone but proud as always

never yielding

to any political maneuvering

or malicious target investigations.

INSIDE MEN:

THE ORIGINAL:

2 YEARS AGO

Mr. Editor,

it's almost deadline.

Close the door.

Director wants it done soon.

Close the door.

You're making me come in again.

Which word are stuck with this time?

With intentions

or "doubts with intentions".

Obviously it's "with intentions".

There's no acting as a group.

The context and the facts

tell you that.

I need to know more

to say "with intentions".

It's still rough at the moment.

We stick with "with intentions".

We...

Our newspaper's view...

Right?

That's right.

It's done.

You're really...

No chief editor discusses

over a word.

It's not a nice habit.

I can't write something

that goes against the company.

Let's go and eat something.

People should respect you

for that, you know.

Congressman Kim Seok-woo

New Party

The people were wise.

Kim's predictable defeat.

Lee Kang-hee

Editor-in-chief, Nation Daily

Call Lee at Nation Daily

and invite him to dinner.

Yes, sir.

Is this an article

or a piece of sh*t?

Have you heard of the relations

between Mirae Motors and Jang?

We've kept it quiet

as he's from our party.

But I can feel that

the bomb is about to explode.

What do you mean by that?

It's quiet with Hangyul's president

hiding out overseas.

But rumor says

he's returning to Korea.

Then the prosecution will at least

pretend to take action.

Today's phrase.

"Station for transfer."

It means it's time

to change your ride.

I'm just a journalist.

What can I do?

You picked Jang

and him brought into politics.

Backing him up

with Mirae Motors.

All part of your

master plan, right?

How about throwing me

a line like this,

is what I mean.

Does that matter at this stage?

Not so much...

He's the setting sun.

Chief Prosecutor

Seoul District Office

Senior Secretary

Civil Affairs President's Office

He can't rise again, can he?

Chief Prosecutor

Seoul District Office

Senior Secretary

Civil Affairs President's Office

Nope... only a year left in his term.

Right!

What's important is who's next.

The opposition party already

threw in the towel...

so it's either Kim Seok-woo

or Jang Pil-woo.

I was on bad terms with Jang

at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.

If that bastard gets in,

he'll never leave me in peace.

He sure wouldn't.

Isn't Kim your high school alumni?

Elementary school, sir.

Kim and I went to the same university.

He could be the perfect match for us!

Not bad at all, sir.

Get something dirty on Jang.

I'll take care of the rest.

Yes, sir.

Who's the sniper for this?

A guy called Woo Jang-hoon

at Special Investigations.

Whose line is he from?

No one's. He's from a regional college.

But as a matter of fact...

Is he a nut?

No, he's a former cop.

Cop?

Yes.

He had his days on the force

with awards.

But he had a temper

and was a loner and

didn't get along.

A loner?

He didn't get along with

the police academy graduates.

Then, he went on and

took the bar exam

and quit being a police.

How did he end up at

the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office?

You remember the Busan Savings Bank

corruption case 4 years ago?

That was him?

He received the president prize.

After that, he started working there.

What an interesting guy.

Yes, he is.

Yes.

How do you do, sir?

I'm Woo Jang-hoon.

This is Mr. Oh Myung-hwan,

from 17th year.

Senior Secretary to President

for Civil Affairs.

Honor to meet you.

- Sit, sit.

- Yes, sir.

Which year are you?

38th, sir.

- You were a cop?

- Yes, sir.

Why become a prosecutor?

Being a cop isn't bad.

I wanted to be an excellent prosecutor

just like you, sir.

You're a role model to me, sir.

He has guts, I like him.

He sure has.

Have a drink.

Mr. Secretary!

What's up at this hour?

I'm having dinner

at Okryu-dang.

Really?

Sure, no problem.

Damn son of a b*tch!

How dare he order me to come!

Who was it?

I'll have to drop by the next room.

Won't be long, eat first.

I expect a lot from you.

Thank you, sir.

Take care, sir.

My stomach still hurts.

Why should I always drink for work?

Have this, sir.
