Inside Men Page #5

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.

You have no connections...

So you're explaining to me that

I'm a f***er with no connections?

You're not a f***er,

you just have no connections.

What the f***

are you doing now?

Take it easy, man...

Don't be so sensitive.

It's pathetic.

Goddamn it.

Alright, here he comes.

It's been a while, sir.

This is Prosecutor Woo

from Seoul Prosecutors' Office.

This is Mr. Jo, the owner of

Joyang Mirae Development.

Nice to meet you,

I'm Jo Yang-sik.

Sure, nice to meet you.

Have a seat.

Please give me a minute, sir.

I know, I know, I know!

Look at me,

it's not what you think.

It's just a friendly drink together.

No harm in knowing

a man like him.

You can get an allowance,

then later...

Maybe he can get you connected?

You motherf***er!

Hey Go Sang-chul, you got

fired from Nation Daily for bribery.

Want to get fired from your life

for messing with a prosecutor?

I paid for what I drank,

don't claim otherwise later.

Damn f***er.

Take care!

He really is a son of a b*tch.

Talk to me.

They went into a building.

Place seems a bit suspicious.

How long have they been there?

About two hours?

And we have a new face tonight.

A new face?

So, what did you do then?

They wanted me to quit,

so what could I do?

I left without regret!

And opened a private practice,

laying low... until that man there

got me into Congress.

Welcome, my friend!

Our Congressman

seems a bit soaked.

I haven't had that much.

Let me introduce you.

This is Park Jong-pal,

president of Moon Sash.

Same name as the old boxer

who had a strong hook.

Honor to meet you, sir.

I'm Park Jong-pal.

Did you take in a lot?

A few bomb shots...

I don't mean alcohol.

I don't know.

Song takes care of it.

Better be careful,

you could get in trouble.

Then what should I do?

A campaign sucks up money.

Oh closed his wallet because of

Seok, that son of a b*tch.

How else do I get elected?

Let's bring him in.

And then?

If there's something to settle,

let's settle it before it's too late.

Seok Myung-kwan

Former President of Hangyul Bank

I'm deeply sorry for causing

so much anxiety to the nation.

Seok Myung-kwan

Former Pres/dent of Hangyul Bank

Any comments on

the charges against you?

Former president of Hangyul Bank

was charged with embezzlement,

malpractice, and

flight of capital abroad

based on the Additional Law

on Specific Crimes.

He reported to the

Prosecutors' Office at 9:30 am.

Wake up.

Call me in ten minutes, sharp.

Mirae must've offered you

a position in the group.

President of an affiliate company?

Nope, a big chunk of land

under the name of your son.

I got it right!

Look.

They offered a presidential

pardon in a year, right?

But what if...

Jang doesn't win the primary?

Oops, what'll you do then?

Did you think about that?

Listen to me, Mr. Seok.

I'm not pushing you into a corner.

Sh*t, who's calling?

Excuse me.

How did it go?

You wanted me to call you.

Oh, yeah?

Prepare the documents and

request a warrant right away.

Whose warrant?

If Jang loses the primary,

naturally there'll be no pardon.

Then you're fine with

spending 10 years in prison?

You know Moon from Mirae Motors?

He was their accounting manager?

He was about to hand me

the slush fund files 2 years ago.

But Jang and

Oh had a hunting dog

to intercept it before I got it.

So I sowed, and they reaped.

Motherfuckers...

But you know what?

Moon had another copy

of the files.

That's what

that phone call was about.

Most importantly...

someone's going to

give me that copy. Why?

He wants me

to get Jang and Oh,

those sons of b*tches.

You must have

something to say now.

Okay then...

You can take the fall

and spend the ten years...

in prison.

Bravo, bravo.

Look, Mr. Seok Myung-kwan.

If you cooperate

I'll reduce your sentence

into five years.

He almost cracked.

Hope this may help

your wise decision, sir.

It's been delivered?

Yes, I think he fully understood.

He's such a softie,

must've been shocked.

But what can we do?

Someone must be held responsible.

Deadline is coming up.

When will you finish writing?

You seem concerned.

Obvious concerns my age men have.

Concerns for children

and stock trading

plus, lovers.

Something is really bothering you.

Since your kids are all married

and you don't have any stocks

and also no lover.

What are you working on?

I haven't finished writing it yet.

I'm getting hungry after writing a bit.

Let's get something to eat.

Oh my, an article isn't

like a weather forecast...

No way...

Former president of Hankyul Bank

Seok commits suicide!

Prosecution's forced interrogation

caused the tragedy

Around 9:
30 am on the 17th

while being questioned on

embezzlement, slush fund charges...

Did you force him or threaten him

during interrogation?

Answer the question.

Prosecutor Wu.

You've brought shame to

the whole office.

You know what that means?

Damn it.

You're really an arrogant bastard.

Shouldn't you at least

feel sorry about this?

Supreme Prosecutor's Office

is a joke to you?

You wanna be targeted

and be stripped?

Yes, I get it. Calm down.

Seok commits suicide due to forced

interrogation from the Prosecutor's Office!

- Lee Kang-hee Nation Daily Editor in Chief

It sucks, right?

Have you eaten?

Take a few days off.

Have something to eat.

So you want to call it quits?

What else can we do?

Open the coffin and

cross-examine the dead?

I begged to the Inspection Dept.

to save you from suspension.

So take some days off.

And then?

You want to send me

to some provincial office?

How convenient to blame

the guy with no connections!

Are you rebelling against me?

Have I ever done that?

So just do what I tell you.

Why?

Did Jang offer you a position?

The Prosecutor General?

Korean prosecutors,

we do as we're told.

It's time to let him go.

Thank you for calling me, sir.

You came a long way.

Introduce yourselves.

I'm Lee Gang-hee from Nation Daily.

Big fan of your column.

I'm Oh Myung-hwan.

It's been a while, Mr. Secretary.

So you're done prying into me?

How are you, sir?

No, it's a misunderstanding!

How could I dare do that?

It turns out that some nobody

with no connections

caused all this trouble,

to make a name for himself.

We're sending him to the provinces,

so he'll never bother you again.

I'll count on you.

Thank you, sir.

Anytime.

Sir, you're still in action.

You're always on the job.

That's what politics is.

You never grow old.

That's right.

All those hotshots in politics

grow so old the moment they retire.

It's quite interesting.

Desire for power, honor and sex...

Those desires are

what keeps you young.

- Is that so?

- Yes!

Lichtenberg said something like this.

Less the desire

the happier you become...

Which is total bullshit.

I totally agree.

Investigations done by those

who haven't had real power is bullshit.

Yes, that's why we live young.

You're right.

Let's get started!

Sure, let's drink!

Prepare your driver.
