The former branch chief of Jinyeong, Mr. Kim In Ju, makes a brilliant comeback as the head of the special investigation team. Mr. Kim requests to have either Sun Woong or Myung Ju join his team in Seoul and they make a bet to decide who gets to go. To settle the bet, the pair take a trip to find the original owner of Sun Woong’s accidental carpenter’s ruler.
As Branch Chief Kim In Ju prepares for his retirement, the people of Jinyeong Branch get busy preparing for a big farewell. Chief Kim wonders what he will do after he retires and meets other former prosecutors who are now working elsewhere. He also remembers a certain shameful incident from many years ago. Meanwhile, Jong Hak deals with a very annoying video influencer.
Branch Chief Kim In Ju is on the brink of his big promotion to Chief Prosecutor when he comes across the biggest crisis of his career. Meanwhile, Myung Ju and Sun Woong continue to bicker over everything, including a fraud case that involves a local assemblyman and his son. Many people in positions of power try to hinder the investigation.
Promotion season is officially here, and the prosecutors of the Jinyeong Branch are being extra cautious not to stir things up. However, Jung Woo breaks the peace, making Min Ho anxious. To make things worse, the notorious Mr. Hwang, also known as the Ax, is back to torment the prosecutors of Jinyeong.
Yoon Jin has a tough few days trying to juggle work and her sick twins. With her mother-in-law and husband to consider on top of it all, she passes out from exhaustion and wakes up in the emergency room. Sun Woong and the others go home after her family arrives, but the next morning, Yoon Jin is nowhere to be found.
Criminal Department 2 comes across an unexpected tip about a hidden gambling den in the mountains. They decide to send someone to the gambling den undercover, but the only person whose face is unfamiliar to the target is Myung Ju. However, she does not know a thing about gambling. Sun Woong and the team must turn Myung Ju into a gambler overnight.
A middle-aged man named Kim Young Choon is arrested after he assaulted his boss in the middle of the night. He is also known to have committed the obstruction of business against his boss. Two charges are filed against Kim Young Choon. Sun Woong and Myung Ju are asked to work together to dig in the cases and reach an agreement on the punishment for Kim Young Choon’s doing.
Sun Woong is surprised to see Myung Ju, an old acquaintance he’s known since in college years. She’s pretty, smart, and one of the most competent prosecutors in Korea. Everyone at the Jinyeong Branch start to wonder what must’ve caused her to come all the way down to this countryside.
