THIS SHOW IS FICTION, AND THE CHARACTERS, PLACES, INSTITUTIONS,
EVENTS, GROUPS, AND BACKGROUNDS ON THE SHOW ARE NOT REAL
- (tense music) - (loud thudding)
REPORTER 1: Is it true that Assemblyman Kim was being investigated by prosecutors?
REPORTER 2: Did he commit suicide? Who was the prosecutor in charge?
They say he's the mad dog of Seocho-dong.
MAN 1: You did this to him.
If you hadn't investigated him, this wouldn't have happened.
MAN 2: Those who act self-righteous always get themselves in trouble.
JUYEONG: Though, I don't know if saying that helps at all.
That wasn't your fault.
JIHUN: Why you had to do that,
and who they are. I'm going to find out no matter what.
MAN 3: Don't dig into it anymore.
Don't do anything at all and pull out of it.
JUYEONG: It has already been two years.
Shouldn't you stop and live your own life now?
I really like it when you smile.
You are a warm person.
JIHUN: Juyeong, will you marry me?
RESTRICTED DOCUMENT ASSEMBLYMAN KIM YOONSUB
JUYEONG (over phone): Can you meet me right now?
I'll go see you at the prosecutors' office.
(tense music continues)
(shallow breath) I'm sorry.
JIHUN: Juyeong.
DOCTOR: Ms. Lee Juyeong passed away at 23:38.
REPORTER: Last night, during a random assault that happened on the subway,
a woman in her thirties was stabbed to death.
The suspect, Mr. Cho, turned himself in
at a nearby police station after the crime.
You can't take this case. The higher-ups will never allow that.
She was the only one who drew close to me.
I don't need anyone's permission.
You've never seen me before.
It wasn't you.

JIHUN: It wasn't you, Cho Wooseok.
(suspenseful music continues)
The man that did that
to Juyeong that day was not you.
Mm.
I know that you aren't the real killer.
And if those people think you were the one who told me that,
do you think…
they'd let you live?
All right.
I'll see you again later.
Until then,
take good care of yourself, okay?
If you change your mind, call me at this number.
I'm leaving.
CHEON JIHUN LAW OFFICE
Wait!
If I do so,
will I be acquitted and free to go?
Yes, if we catch that guy.
You're right.
I'm… not the one who did it.
Who did it?
I don't even know his name.
I've only seen his face once.
(tense music)
- You've seen his face? - Yes.
Do you remember what he looks like?
I think I can recognize him from a photo.
(car door opens)
(line rings)
WOMAN (over phone): The person you are calling is unavailable.
(sighs)
What is this? Who are you?
It's me.
You…
Beg for your life.
- What? - Beg for your life.
Let me live. Please let me live.
Please let me live.
Sir, you've been through a lot.
(groans, grunts)
(car door closes)
Investigator.
- Please check first. - Yes.
- Please restrict the crime scene. - Yes, ma'am.
- It's my turn. - Let's go.
Darn.
(tense music continues)
YEOJIN COFFEE HOUSE
- Oh. - (door closes)
Hey. Mr. Cheon.
Our hope, the pride of Pungjin-dong, Attorney Cheon Jihun.
You've come at last.
What's with you?
(in whispered voice) Mari says,
he is draped head-to-toe in luxury brands.
- Mr. Cheon is here. - He is being a little picky.
(in normal voice) Is that right?
Well, hello.
(ominous music)
Mari, can you prepare two cups of tea please?
The tea I usually get.
- Yes, sir. Mr. Sa? - Sure.
Okay. Please have a seat.
- (ominous music continues) - (inhales, exhales)
What can we help you with?
I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Cheon.
Is there a problem?
My past is holding me back.
Hmm, your past? Which past do you mean?
When someone does great deeds,
you end up getting your hands dirty a little bit.
- Yes, that's right. - I need a lawyer to clean that up for me.
Hmm.
So, can you do that for me?
Money is not an issue.
(clicks tongue, inhales)
I'm sorry, but we don't take on cases like that.
Aah.
Is that so?
You seemed to be struggling, so I thought you'd take on any case.
(scoffs)
I must've gotten it wrong.
Hang on a second.
Did you say we seemed to be struggling?
I guess…
My pride led me to act hard to get, but you caught on pretty quickly.
You brought your ID, didn't you? Please sit down.
We are actually struggling.
(laughs)
(suspenseful music)
All right. Got it.
IDENTIFICATION CARD KIM SOONHO
(exhales)
Ms. Baek, please make a copy of his ID.
Yes, sir.
I'll take a look at it.
How interesting. Is your legal fee 1,000 won?
Yes, it's 1,000 won.
It's 1,000 won per second.
- Per second? - Yes, heard of a time-operating system?
We don't charge by the hour,
but by the second.
MUJANG (in whispered voice): By the second.
An hour has 3,600 seconds. 3,600 times 1,000.
That's 3.6 million won an hour.
(in normal voice) Was that too expensive?
It's ridiculous. Not even Law Firm Baek charges that much.
The legal fee doesn't matter. You can charge me any amount.
- Mr. Cheon. - Yes.
Okay, Mr. Kim Soonho. We'll take a thorough look into it and contact you.
- Here you go. - Okay.
(suspenseful music continues)
- Yes! - (door opens)
(door closes)
LAWYER'S OFFICE, 2F
YEJIN: What do you plan on doing now?
It's already been three years.
Hmm.
You haven't found any leads.
I'm going to change my methods.
How?
I'll make them come to me.
What's this? What happened?
Is it broken?
What's wrong? Is something the matter?
The picture didn't print.
If it was broken, it wouldn't have printed at all.
How strange. Only the photo didn't print.

MINCHUL: My past is holding me back.

Pardon me.
Oh.
- Geez. - I'm terribly sorry.
I'm sorry.
(tense music continues)
ONE DOLLAR LAWYER
MINHYEOK: Assemblyman Oh Kichul, suicide.
Deputy head of Daesan Construction Choi Gyuseok, suicide.
These two were both involved in creating a slush fund with JQ Group.
Also,
on the 20th at 3:00 a.m.,
Cayman Fund's CEO Kim Sungwook
was found dead in his own car.
This is the footage
of Mr. Kim's car which was taken at 1:42 a.m.
As you can see, he was in the car alone.
Any other suspicious cars? He wasn't being followed or anything?
We checked all the cars that was caught on CCTV
from before and after that time, but there weren't any.
Then, was it a suicide?
There is one thing that makes me hesitate to call it suicide.
This is footage that was taken around the time at a nearby farm.
Who is that?
We have confirmed that he's not a resident of the area,
but we're still searching to find out who he is.
So, is it suicide or murder?
Uh…
According to the autopsy, there's no evidence of murder,
but there were a few suspicious circumstances,
so we plan to work harder in our investigation.
KIM SOONHO
What's this about? Why'd he put a film on his ID?
I know.
- (door opens) - The address is…
(door closes)
Hey, you're back.
Did you see him?
No.
Who was it that made you go after him?
- A swindler. - A swindler?
What swindler?
You know, from last year
Mr. Kim Jaehyun, who said he was scammed 30 million won.
The one with glasses?
Yes, the smart-looking guy that wore glasses and a hat.
He had a beard this long.
- Ah! - (line rings)
I don't remember.
He came by to ask us to catch that swindler. Why can't you...
He isn't answering.
What about the address?
It doesn't exist.
What the heck? The address and phone number are all fake?
See, he's a swindler. Isn't he?
Whatever. Forget about him.
Gosh, that's why he said we could charge him 1,000 won per second.
Geez. I got excited for a second.
Then, shouldn't we catch him?
Where would we catch him?
The CCTV.
What did you just say?
The CCTV.
We have CCTV?
Did you happen to see the man that just left?
He was wearing a gray suit.
It was gray.
We weren't in the right minds to see him.
She said "go" three times and I had no pi cards.
You know, in my dream last night,
my Janggun made a huge dump.
(both laughing)
- Janggun made a huge dump? - That's right.
What luck you had while playing Go-Stop! (laughs)
- What? - And I was on such a good streak…
But luck's the most important thing.
(suspenseful music)
(roars, crackles)
This is Cha Minchul.
He didn't seem to recognize me at all.
You don't have to worry.
Understood.
(suspenseful music)
(snickers)
IDENTIFICATION CARD KIM SOONHO
(gasping, pants)
Are you all right?
Ah, yes, I am quite all right.
You didn't go home yet.
That dream really got you spooked.
It's nothing.
Go on home. I'm heading out now.
YEJIN: There's someone Jihun is looking for.
The person that did that to his father?
No.
Not that person.
It's another person.
Who is it?
There's someone that Jihun is dying to find.
(exhales)
- Roar! - (screams)
Roar.
What are you up to?
I was waiting for you.
- You were following me. - I'm sorry.
Can you buy me a drink?
Let's take this out first.
Gosh. It's really stuck.
Take it off for a second.
Take your shoe off.
- Like this? - Yes.
Are you okay?
I'm fine. That was embarrassing.
Put it back on.
HANYANG SUPERMARKET
(whimsical music)
What are you doing?
Goodness.
I knew it. You never tried dried pollack.
Look, you're supposed to tear it in the middle like this.
Carefully remove the bones inside like this.
Remove the flesh like so.
Get a huge dip of mayonnaise on it
and just eat it. Here.
(blabbers)
- Open up. - What?
Your boss is giving it to you. Do it for camaraderie.
Here. Open up.
Open up.
Aah.
(chortling)
(grunts)
Isn't it so good?
- Let's just drink. - Clink.
Mr. Cheon, my time as a probationary employee is almost up.
You must be happy to be rid of me.
Gosh, the beer tastes extra good today.
Mr. Cheon, you should learn to lie a little in moments like these.
Fine. Since you're leaving,
why don't you tell me a lie first?
Okay. I'll go ahead and lie first.
Okay.
Working at your office made me…
truly happy.
- I learned a lot too. - Mm.
Thank you.
Phew. That is a lie.
Also…
I really like you, Mr. Cheon.
Ooh.
(light music)
That's why I don't want to see you in pain.
Is that really a lie?
What do you mean?
What you just said…
sounded like the truth.
Ha!
What? I don't like you. What has gotten into you?
- (laughs) - (scoffs)
You meant what you said when you didn't want to see me in pain.
That's why I asked you. What's wrong with you?
Oh, that? Yes, I meant that.
Are you drunk? I can't take you home today.
Put your phone on the table and put in the passcode. Okay?
Go home while you're awake.
What are you saying?
Stop messing around.
I came here to tell you something.
Tell me something?
I'm getting a strange vibe. Go ahead.
I heard…
that you're searching for someone.
(gentle music)
(inhales, exhales)
I told you that I meant it
when I said I didn't want to see you in pain.
I want to help you.
(gentle music continues)
Thanks for the thought,
but you can't help me out with this.
Let's stop talking about that.
I'm sorry, but I'm going to go now.
My wish.
What?
It's my wish.
Why should I grant you a wish?
Not that wish,
but the wish from that day.
Well done, Ms. Baek. I admit you did a good job.
You'd better keep your promise about my wish.
So you're saying…
this is your wish?
Yes, this is my wish.
So,
please tell me.
(gentle music)
Anyway, due to Mr. Kim's death, they don't have the right to investigate
the Cayman Fund case anymore,
so finish up your defenses.
- Yes, sir. - Yes.
- Well done. - Thank you.
They are suspecting that Cayman Fund's Mr. Kim has been murdered.
The prosecution seems to be investigating.
There were many who were uncomfortable with the case.
Do you also suspect…
My goodness. Is that how you see me?
No, sir. Thanks to that, the case was closed without much fuss.
A man has died.
I feel sorry for him, but what can we do about it?
I hope this doesn't cause any more noise.
Hmm.
You want us to end the investigation?
The NFS finished the autopsy.
Is there anything else to see?
But we have the CCTV footage. We should at least find out who he is.
- What if you do find him? - Pardon?
Can you overturn the autopsy result?
Anyway, we should find him first and...
- Hey! - Understood, sir.
- Yejin. - He might just be a passerby.
That's right.
You always do your job well, Ms. Na.
I'll consider it done. Keep up the good work.
Why that…
Yejin, are you really going to close it?
Are you?
No.
You're so cool.
(classical music plays)
What do you think?
- Geez. - What do you think?
He's just so-so.
Take a good look at him.
Seriously.
(grunts)
What has gotten into you?
What's up with your reaction?
He comes from a great family, went to a great school, and he's handsome.
All right.
- Fold over again. - You brat.
Fold your right leg to the front and straighten your left leg.
- That's it. - (grunts)
Did this person say that he liked me?
Of course, he did.
He said he liked me before even meeting me.
Isn't that because of Grandpa, not because of me?
(both blows air)
So, what?
Did something happen to you or something?
Who knows?
What? What's up with that answer?
Did something happen?
No, nothing happened, Mom.
I just want to meet someone who likes me. Just like you, Mom.
I'll meet him if that's what you want.
When is it?
(giggles) You brat.
It's this weekend.
- Stretch. - (groans)
Mom, I'll do it.
Mom, let me do it, okay?
MARI: Weren't his eyebrows dark?
MUJANG: They were dark. Like charcoal.
- What about his nose? - He had a round and chubby nose.
His eyes were small and sneaky-looking.
He had a protruding chin, didn't he?
That's right.
- Mr. Sa. - What are you two doing?
You scared me.
It looked like you were drawing something.
No, it's nothing.
What's that behind you?
Mr. Cheon, I'm really disappointed.
- What? - If something like that happened to you,
you should've told me ages ago.
I thought we were close.
How close are we?
We're…
We are…
close enough not to want to stand by while the other is in pain.
You always fight for your clients.
This time,
I'm going to fight for you, Mr. Cheon.
Yes, me too.
(uplifting music)
(clicks tongue)
Let me see it.
Mm…
Is this how you'll fight for me?
Wow, this drawing… (grumbles)
It's a composite sketch.
I don't know about anything else,
but I clearly remember what his eyes looked like.
Here. Take a look. What do you think?
Are you Picasso?
I'm glad you stuck to being a lawyer.
Hmm.
It looks similar to me.
Mr. Sa, how did you draw it?
I remember his eyes clearly as well.
Isn't it him from earlier?
Yes, it's the complete version of him.
Gosh, what would the two of you do without me?
(scoffs)
(scoffs, snickers)
(gasps)
Please say something.
You're a human copy machine. This isn't a drawing.
Isn't this a photo…
It's a drawing.
Whoa…
(chuckles) Whoa.
It's a drawing.
You really drew him well.
I studied drawing until I went to college.
My goodness.
(tense music)
Let's go.
- Where? - To get this guy.
HAPPY REFORM, HAPPY CITIZENS
I think it's him,
but maybe it isn't him?
(sighs)
Mr. Cho Wooseok,
are you messing with me right now?
You clearly said you could remember him if you saw a photo of him.
I can if I saw a photo of him.
What is this? It's a drawing.
No matter how similar it seems, it has been too long.
That was three years ago.
And I was hung upside down at the time.
(thuds)
Take a good look at it.
Well, how did you end up meeting him?
That's right. If you try to remember how you met him,
your memory might become clearer.
Red sun.
I met him when…
I don't know how he found out,
but he came to see me knowing that I needed money.
Really? And then what?
I fold.
Hang on.
- (laughs) - (yells)
Gosh.
What's wrong with him?
What do you want?
(snorts, grunts)
(heavy breaths, pants)
Do it.
Wait.
No!
Will you do what you're told?
I'll do anything.
Just give me the job. Want me to kill someone?
No need to kill anyone.
Just say that you did.
That's him.
It's this jerk. It's him!
- Is it him? - Yes.
Where was that place?
That place? That gambling house was
near a farm at Mt. Ulseok, Paju.
Near a farm at Mt. Ulseok, Paju.
Okay. Ms. Baek, pack this up. Let's go.
Wait. Wait a minute.
If you catch this guy, I can really get out, right?
Of course.
What? There's nothing here.
Is this really a gambling house? It looks like a warehouse.
You're right. I don't think it's here anymore.
Excuse me.
Pardon me.
Sorry to bother you while you're working, but did this place used to be…
FIRE BEAR'S CASH AND LABOR
Fire Chicken?
- Get fatter, man! - Yes, sir.
- Fire Chicken. - Boss.
Stop hitting on women. Hello, there.
(sighs)
Why do you keep calling me?
Did you look into it?
I did look into it, but is this the nature of our relationship?
How is it supposed to be?
- This is the nature of our relationship. - That's our relationship.
- Mm. - Mm.
You are so good with words.
Yes, wouldn't it be beneficial for you to know a lawyer that's good with words?
- Don't you think? - Of course.
On top of that, it'll be helpful for you to know a prosecutor too.
You must know well since you're a prosecutor.
Even a month is pretty long for a gambling house to stay open.
Get rid of the prejudice
that prosecutors know well about gambling houses.
- I'm not a prosecutor anymore. - What?
- Nothing. - Mm, nothing.
- What? - It's nothing. That's that.
Where's the gambling house now?
(sighs)
- Hmm. Mm. - Mm.
Let's go. Let's get going.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Let's go.
I did it.
I'm the killer.
(sinister laugh)
(suspenseful music)
- (line rings) - Hello.
If you want to catch the killer…
YEJIN (over phone): What's up with your voice?
…one must think like the killer.
What?
I'll call you back tomorrow. I have to hang up for now.
I'm totally cool.
All right. First of all, he was caught
on that camera.
And then, he disappeared.
So, if he didn't want to get caught, what should he do?
(owl hoots)
- (leaves rustles) - (shrieks)
Come out, jerk!
- (grunts, pants) - (owl continues to hoot)
I should've come with Yejin.
Should I go back?
(comical music)
Huh?
Pause it.
Where did you find this?
An endangered species inhabits the area…
(upbeat music)
…and I discovered a camera that monitors those animals.
(chortles)
- Seo Minhyeok. - Awesome.
If he went over this mountain…
CCTV LOCATION, CRIME SCENE
He definitely entered Route 77.
Find all the cars that went through Route 77
on the day of the incident.
And get the CCTV footage too.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
You're pretty good.
- Are you sure this is the place? - Yes, it's here.
- Are you sure it's here? - Yes, it's here.
Let's go then.
(in whispered voice) It's kind of scary.
Don't be nervous.
It's kind of scary.
(in normal voice) Stop messing around.
- Okay. - Okay.
Guests are here!
WOMAN (voice-over PA): Welcome to Neverland.
Hope you all get rich.
- Welcome! - Welcome!

YUT
CASH MARBLE GAME
ONE GAME OF GONGGI
It can't be.
What would you like?
Soju or beer?
Want them mixed together?
Here goes the Panchigi game!
It's 50,000 won per chip.
If you flip it, the money is yours. If you don't flip it, it's someone else's.
My goodness. Well…
this is a whole other world.
Don't be nervous. Act casual.
Especially you, Mr. Sa…
Where did he go?
What the heck? Where did Mr. Sa go?
Huh?
What the heck? What is he doing?
Mari, go and get him.
- Me? - Yes.
- Mr. Sa! - That looks good.
What are you doing?
You see, you can make...
Don't you see Mr. Cheon's face?
Are you having fun?
You're just having fun, aren't you?
I really don't get it.
Hang on.
I have an idea. We should try it ourselves.
Geez. Did we come here to have fun?
That's not what I mean.
If we just walk around, they'll get suspicious of us.
We can act like we're playing games while we look for him.
(both chortling)
- Do you know any of these games? - I was like a viper
in my heyday.
Okay.
Ms. Baek. You can just follow me around...
- No. - What?
Have you heard of the Red Wallet of Pyeongchang-dong?
Okay. Anyway, in that case…
(blows air)
- Let's go. - Why do you have so many 1,000 won bills?
I raided our piggy bank.
This money is very valuable to me, so if you lose this, you're dead.
- Okay. - All right.
Here.
- All right. - All right.
Shooting a movie, are you?
All right!
Use your fifth and sixth senses
to pick a number.
They say only the brave wins the beauty.
Actually, only the brave wins a lot of money.
Place your bets.
Trust your guts
and bet on a number.
Decide whether you'll go with ten or six.
Bets are closed.
Now, let's see which number the diving beetle will go to.
Let's find out who'll get lucky.
Here goes the water beetle.
Let's see what number it'll go to.
- Go! - All right!
That's right!
- Yes! - Number seven.
- What a shame. - Gosh.
It's all right. There's always the next round.
Our water beetle is very much alive.
- I don't get it. - I know.
Don't be disappointed.
Okay. Here goes the water beetle.
Flip, flip, flip.
Come on! Let's go!
- Yes! - Here you go.
(whistling)
(upbeat music)
- (sparkles) - (bell rings)
(crowd cheers)
PANCHIGI
Keep your eyes on the prize.
- Where is it? - Show me the card!
Thanks to you, I'm getting rich.
Thank you! I'll make good use of it.
(upbeat music continues)
- (crowd exclaims) - Stop.
- (crowd cheers) - (bell rings)
Did you win some?
I didn't lose all of it.
I lost all of it.
What? Then, what do we do?
We need to count on Mr. Cheon.
Let's start the bet again.
- Yes! - Let's go.
Here goes the water beetle.
- Here it goes. - Go, go.
- Here it goes. - Oh, my.
- Let's go. - Here it goes.
- (crowd cheers) - (bell rings)
What's going on?
Who's that jerk ruining everything?
What are you doing? Go check it out!
(camera shutter clicks)
MARI: Who's Cheon Jihun?
YEJIN: He's the best lawyer I know.
(exclaims)
Thank you!
- This is awesome! - Bravo!
Can you come with us, please?
Who are you?
- He's asking who you are. - Come with us.
See you.
Okay.
You should come too.
Wait. The water beetle…
- Oh, my goodness. - What's going on?
Hang on a second. She's with us too.
That woman with the lollipop. The one with the yellow lollipop.
I'll go myself.
(mischievous music)
Can't you please leave?
Look.
- Hey. - This is good.
Where did you use to play?
Can't you just leave?
I don't want to.
I just came here to play games. Why should I leave?
There's a traitor among you guys.
Listen, young man.
Show some respect.
We're just here to play some games.
Are you guys hustlers?
(scoffs)
These guys are hustlers.
I don't know where you guys used to hustle, but…
Hey, bring that over.
Here, take this
and go gamble somewhere else.
I beg of you.
How dare you throw some petty cash at us?
Use this for your own ambition.
Instead,
if you find someone for me,
I think I can call it even.
Hmm.
Do you remember this person?
I'm thinking.
You've been thinking.
A man came by and said that
he'd pay off a gambling debt three years ago.
That man is this man.
Oh, I remember.
You do?
That guy is this guy.
This guy I've never seen before comes in,
pays off the 500-million-won debt, and takes him away.
Where is he now?
I don't know. That day was the first time I saw him.
How did he find you guys here then?
I just answered a phone call asking about guys with debts.
He said he'd pay off their debts, so why would I refuse that?
You got a phone call?
- Yes. - From who?
(mischievous music continues)
(sighs)
Should I keep playing here?
I can even hear the water beetle breathe today.
(blows air)
MUJANG: Gosh.
JIHUN: Mr. Sa, do I appear
to fit in that whole scene?
When you wear your sunglasses and have a grimace,
you look like a hustler.
(both chortling)
That guy was huge, but he was so scared.
I got so nervous that my legs kept shaking.
Come on. Stop with the hustling act.
Anyway, he said we could meet him if we go over here, right?
Yes, that's right.
How long will it take?
- About ten minutes. - Let's go.
I'm getting nervous.
JIHUN: Don't be nervous. Act casual.
It was you?
- So it was you? - What are you talking about?
You couldn't find the gambling spot?
Hmm, was it you who called to ask about
anyone who had a gambling debt three years ago?
Oh, that place? Why do you ask?
- Get over here. - (all exclaim)
Do you have a death wish? Do you?
Let go of me. Do you have a death wish?
Who is this guy?
I heard you were asking about anyone who had a huge gambling debt.
The person that requested that.
- Ah. - Do you know him or not?
I don't know what he looks like.
There's no good in knowing about the dirty details.
Fire Bear, this is very important to me.
He contacted me not too long ago.
- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!
(door opens)
He contacted you? What for?
(suspenseful music)
He wanted me to interfere with some guy.
PERSONAL DETAILS NAME: KIM SUNGWOOK
Interfere? How?
This man had an event to attend,
so he wanted me to prevent him from getting there.
So?
Stay sharp and listen carefully.
This is an important mission.
Who's our target? Kim Sungwook.
This is Kim Sungwook's car.
- This guy is going to… - We planned to cause
a car accident on his way to the event to delay his arrival.
- Okay? - Yes, sir.
We had even chosen the guys that would participate.
But then, he called me all of a sudden.
Yes, this is Fire Bear.
As a matter of fact, we set everything up...
He told me to call it off.
What?
He told you to call it off? After that?
That was it.
Ah.
There was something strange, though.
REPORTER: Believed to be in hiding, CEO Kim Sungwook of Cayman Fund was…
I was watching the news a few days later
and saw a very familiar face.
- It's him. - He's dead?
Something's up, right?
Where was that event?
One moment.
Where did I put that?
Here it is.
I got it when he made the request.
PLEASE ATTEND THE JQ GROUP VIP PRIVATE PARTY
(suspenseful music continues)
We found it.
You were right.
It's an unregistered car.
Put out a search.
- Yes, sir! - Then...
By the way, it'll be okay, right?
- What do you mean? - Well,
Chief will throw a fit.
That's why we're doing it.
- Pardon? - Pardon?
A long time ago,
I asked Jihun,
"How do you have such good results?"
What did he say?
Jihun said,
"I do at least half of the things the higher-ups tell us not to do."
How many years has it been for us?
It has been seven years, sir.
Thank you for handing over Cayman Fund to me.
Well done.
But, you know…
Kim Sungwook
- wasn't your doing, was it? - Pardon?
He betrayed us at the right time
and died at the right time. It seemed bizarre.
Thanks to that, the rat that scurried underground
got to see the light of day.
Don't sweat it.
I don't care about my dogs fighting for alpha status.
Thank you.
Do a good job of running the Cayman Fund.
Behave, so that there's no fault found in you.
Yes, sir.
Ah.
By the way,
if the owner happens to get hurt while the dogs fight,
what do you think will happen?
You're sweating again.
I'm just kidding.
- I'll be sure to remember that, sir. - Okay.
(suspenseful music)
(groans) Investigator,
can you pull up a list of cars similar to plate number 9510?
Yes, ma'am.
Hey, it's 3532.
No.
36D 9510
Yejin.
- Isn't it this one? - Yes.
My goodness.
It's so cramped in here.
That car has been parked there
- for three days. - Okay.
I got this from the manager of the CCTV.
They didn't service the camera well, so the resolution is a mess.
Can you recognize anything?
I'm sure he'll show up. Let's just wait.
It's so stifling in here.
How do detectives do this for a week or even two weeks?
I know. It isn't easy to catch a criminal.
Are you kidding me?
Why would you put your lips on my straw?
My blood is clean.
Don't touch mine. Drink yours.
Mm.
You're so petty.
Where are you going?
I'm going to get a drink.
355R 2653
Why isn't he answering?
(tense music)
(whistling)
(phone rings)
Geez. Stop messing with me.
What are you doing during a stakeout?
Minhyeok, run this license plate number. It's 355R 2653.
Yejin, it's an unregistered car. Where are you right now?
I'm following what seems to be our suspect's car.
(tense music continues)
(groans)
My gosh.
What do we do about this car, sir?
I'm sorry. I was in a rush following that guy.
We can just fix the car!
What if something happened to you?
Ms. Na!
Excuse me.
I think we got something.
So you think it's very likely that he'll show up to this event?
Yes, that's right. Memorize his face well.
I'm going to get that scumbag.
He probably didn't do it on his own.
If he could hide his identity by getting someone to take the fall,
someone's definitely behind him.
It means that person might have something to do with JQ.
That's right.
But, if it's a party for VIPs, it's probably very fancy.
Shouldn't we dress up for it too?
- Mr. Cheon. - Yes?
Can you lend me some clothes?
- Clothes? - Yes.
Shall I take these off? Want to see…
It won't fit you, Mr. Sa.
Don't go overboard. Let's just go as ourselves.
Just be natural.
He's right.
If we did a sloppy job of dressing up, it'll be more obvious.
Let's go as ourselves and take it easy.
Let's not take it easy.
Be natural.
Mm.
Be natural.
Can't you be more natural, please?
Geez.
JEIL LAUNDRY
This isn't the employee entrance. It's the guest entrance.
You have to go around.
Pardon me. I apologize.
(upbeat music)
Let's go.
(hip-hop music plays)
This man. This is the man we have to find.
- Yes. - Okay.
Let's go.
Oh, my. Mari!
Mom?
My goodness, girl.
You should've told me if you were going to come.
Mom.
What?
Are you Mari's mother?
Hello.
Yes, hello.
I'm Cheon Jihun, attorney-at-law.
I was wondering who Mari took after to be this beautiful. She took after you.
(giggles)
- Thank you. - My pleasure.
Hello. I'm Sa Mujang.
You took after Mari, so you look very beautiful as well.
(laughs)
- (chuckles) - (clears throat)
Well, we must get going.
The two of you can continue talking. Take care.
Okay.
Enjoy your conversation, Mari.
Okay. What's with him?
Gosh, you brat.
You said it was a crappy office,
but now I understand why you're a probationary employee there.
Hmm.
He's so handsome.
What are you talking about? Anyway, why are you here?
What do you mean?
Is there a place in Korea that I can't go?
It's not that, but...
My goodness. My daughter is looking so beautiful.
This worked out. There's a man you must meet today.
- Let's go. - Who is it?
- Come on. Let's go. - But…
Who knew there was a place like this?
Don't get so excited. Let's look around.
I'll check this side.
("Air on G String" by J.S. Bach plays)
Excuse me.
Thank you so much.
Darn it.
(comical music)
- You think you can recognize him? - I'll have to try.
Let's split up.
You go this way and I'll go that way.
Yes, Ms. Cobra.
Hello.
- I'd like to ask you something. - Okay.
Have you seen this man today?
I'm not sure.
May I have a list of the attendees, then?
I can only get that info by speaking to my boss.
(tense music)
Isn't that Mari? Who's that guy next to him?
Who the heck does he think he is to be with my Mari?
MINAH: He's the second son of the Taesan Group.
Taesan? That Taesan?
What is she doing with that guy who has everything...
(blabbers)
Oh, my. Hello, Mother.
Mother? Why am I your mother?
Ah… Since you're Mari's mother,
you're Mother to me too.
Fine. Whatever.
Did you just say "My Mari?"
Did I?
I did. I did call my Mari, my Mari.
It's not like I can call her someone else's Mari.
My goodness.
Don't the two of them look so good together?
No, they don't. Your dress looks better on you.
Oh, my. Really?
- Yes. - My goodness.
- (laughs) - (giggles)
Mari, what are your hobbies?
Pardon?
Your hobby.
Oh, my hobby.
- I like to draw. - Drawing?
Would you like to see my work?
Yes.
(exclaims)
- You drew it well. - Right?
- You know... - What is it?
Did someone come to your mind?
No. Who is this person?
What the heck? Never mind.
Did I offend you?
- No, not at all. - Okay.
All right, then. I had a good time today.
Wait a minute.
Are you leaving like this?
Yes.
I'm a Taesan.
So what?
Then, enjoy your time here, Mr. Taesan.
(tense music)
(tense music continues)
JIHUN: Why do you want to leave Law Firm Baek?
I loathed having to defend Choi Kitae.
Can you meet me right now?
No, I'll go see you at the prosecutors' office.
(suspenseful music)
(crowd cheering)
(suspenseful music)
WOMAN: It's so pretty.
MAN: Oh, my goodness.
Juyeong.
Jihun…
I'm sorry.
(suspenseful music continues)
(closing theme music)
MARI: There's a rumor that Cayman Fund is a slush fund laundering company.
I'm the CEO of Cayman Fund, Cha Minchul.
I look forward to your work.
JIHUN: What if the person that you respect the most
does something that you despise the most?
How would you feel?
MARI: To be honest, if it were me…
Mari, the sun was very bright.
- JIHUN: Wear this when you go out. - Who are you?
JIHUN: I'll make you feel that exact same pain.
Is this the knife you used to kill Juyeong?
