Inside Men Page #4

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.

posted on social network.

Those keyboard warrior

will post anything

on line without all the facts.

Social network is their playground.

What will become of this country...

Newspaper is the public air.

Focus on the facts.

Don't go crazy like those mad dogs

who are worthless.

The spear is pointing toward

the inner circle.

Even Prosecutor's office seems to

take Mr. Kim's side.

You want to switch rides?

We've came till the end of the line

so why not?

During that time

we ran the red light, oversped

and the driver has no license.

What's the problem?

If Seok Myung-kwan comes back here

Congressman Jang won't have a choice.

Hey, Reporter Kim.

Who do you think put

you in that chair?

You think I'm working for

Jang Pil-woo like an idiot?

You won't be sitting there

with Mirae Motors.

Nation Daily won't exist

without Mirae Motors commercials.

Am I wrong?

If Jang Pil-woo is arrested

Mirae Motors is gone as well.

Chairman Oh can always drive away

on a different engine.

But who would drive a car

that's been wasted.

We're not trying to

protect Jang's life

we're saving Mirae Motors

for our sake.

Is your little brain getting all this?

I'm sorry.

I should have thought deeper.

Come on,

you're making me uncomfortable.

This is for us both

so no hard feelings, okay?

Good luck.

No problem.

Good luck to us both.

No problem at all.

By the way,

Seok will come back soon enough.

Oh my, what to do then?

What other way is there?

The guilty one should be

punished by the law.

That's a just society, isn't it?

My finish is poor.

The ball won't go far.

I see.

Maybe it's the golf club.

Would you like to try my

Honma golf club set in my car?

I own a Honma gold club as well.

It's a five star...

Five star?

So, how's working for Nation Monthly?

I was better off at Nation Daily.

Nation Monthly is just

Nation Daily's pawn.

Then, why receive bribe money

for writing an article?

No reporter writes

for nothing these days.

I'm sorry, sir.

You still have access to

the Public Prosecution's Office?

Of course. I make a living by

sucking up to them.

Anything I can do for you?

I heard they are targeting Jang?

Yes, they don't have any proof.

They're just fishing.

Who's fishing?

Woo Jang-hoon, he belongs to

the Special Investigations.

He's kind of an a**hole.

Who's in charge there?

Chief prosecutor Choi Chung-sik.

He's on the District Chief Prosecutor's side.

So he's on the President

for Civil Affairs line.

Yes, he's on Kim Seok-woo's side.

Where's Mr. Woo's hometown?

He's from Gyeongsang-do.

Is he a purebred?

No, he's a mutt.

He's quite competent

but he has no connections.

What's he like?

He's f***ed up.

He doesn't get along

with the Reporters.

He's an arrogant a**hole.

Oh, great...

It's a five star.

- Hey, Ko.

- Yes, sir.

You should rejoin Nation Daily

shouldn't you?

I'll do anything if you

take me back.

So, that means I can ask you a favor?

Yes, of course.

I'll do anything for you.

Have a drink with Woo Jang-hoon.

Pardon?

Great!

Park Jong-pal

Moon Sash

These are all clean.

You're contributing to a big cause.

Song Man-seop

Jang Pil-woo's Campaign Club/

I'm just doing what I enjoy.

Song is Jang's Campaign Club president

and also the Representative

of River Construction.

Their main business is

redeveloping new towns.

Jang's second brother-in-law

is a board member.

Who is this guy?

He's a representative at Moon Sash

which produces sash.

They are meeting quite frequently.

Look into this

Moon Sash company for now.

I'm sure it has connections

with Jang Pil-woo.

Okay.

But...

they're quite powerful people.

Can we really catch them?

We might take the fall

if we mess with them.

Our request for the expense

is being delayed.

How on earth can we investigate?

Damn it!

Mr. Bang.

Yes?

You think I'm a loser, don't you?

I mean, I have no connections

but shows up trying to do something

at my age...

You like dogs?

Yes, I do.

Not when it's cooked.

Why don't we quit this bull sh*t

and raise dogs in the countryside?

You don't get it, do you?

What I'm saying is

go out there and try bringing back

something useful.

If you don't wanna end up

cleaning dog sh*t!

Okay...

Why are you still here?

Yes, anything useful...

Did you have lunch?

Not yet, boss.

Come join me.

No thanks, help yourself.

You don't want to eat

something cooked by a cripple?

Not at all, sir!

It's just...

It doesn't seem enough for you.

Food is meant to be shared.

Come on.

Yes, boss.

Take this.

Thank you.

Have some kimchi, too.

How are things going?

Gave them five big ones today.

Try to meet up with Jang directly.

Guess they must be

done poking around.

They promised a meeting

with Jang soon.

This is clean.

Impossible to track down.

Moon Sash wouldn't approach

Jang for a small bit of profit.

And why would Jang be connected

to that small company for a few pennies?

What are their connections?

This is Ahn Sang-goo,

started from a small gang,

and made it big enough

to be called 'president'.

He's a mobster?

Yes.

Also I did some background checks.

In 1996, he was jailed

for bribing TV producers.

Does he have ties with

the entertainment business?

This is big.

Everything from construction, loans,

talent agency, night clubs, to hostess bars.

He's also suspected of

interfering in elections.

So, his jail time for bribery

was to cover that up?

Sure.

Also, the Moon Sash guy

was Ahn's henchman.

About No. 3 in the gang.

Then how'd he become a cripple?

For that, he must have

upset someone...

quite a bit.

Who?

Political thug who once rode high

reaches out to Jang through his henchman.

Don't you smell something?

Sure do.

If it's normal business,

he can just bribe discreetly.

His methods seem different.

Why does everything

have to be so secret?

You scumbags.

They're setting a trap for Jang!

In Korea the prosecutor,

in order to serve justice,

should be solitary.

Absolutely right.

Extremely lonely.

I was one of them.

When was it...?

In 1990, when the president

declared the war against crime,

I brought in tons of them!

Gangsters who run casinos,

and the sons of b*tches

paid off by those f***ers...

It turned out the head of our office

was one of those sons of b*tches.

So what did you do?

F*** the title.

I was a lone, righteous man.

I dragged him in, too!

Of course, you did!

Don't mix the drinks!

Why did you call me?

It's been a while

since we met and had a drink.

You said you had

vital information,

so why are you only drinking?

If you just want to drink,

you should say, "Let's drink."

Then you'd have gladly offered

to buy me a drink?

What's gotten into you?

It's not like we never drink.

Just drink up.

But can you be a Supreme Prosecutor

with no connections?

You should pass through there

to end your career in Seoul.

Or you end up

in a remote province.

So? Why are you explaining

sh*t that everybody knows?

I worry about you, that's all.
