This one is pretty and that one is pretty too. Just buy anything.
Everything is great.
- How much is this? - Give me 3 dollars for it.
Get him!
Catch him!
There he is. Move! Stop right there!
Move aside!
- Move aside, please. - Stop right there!
Stop!
- Move it! - There he is! There goes a thief!
- Move aside. - He's a thief!
Hey. I am just...
Don't follow me!
Hey! Hold on.
- Don't come near me. - Hold on a minute.
- Excuse me. - Hey!
- Wait! - Don't follow me.
- Don't follow me. - Hey, please wait.
- Mister! - No!
Hey, you!
Mister, I'm so sorry.
I won't ever do it again. My baby...
I stole it because I had nothing to feed to my baby.
I won't ever do it again. Please spare me just this once.
I had nothing to feed my baby. Please forgive me.
Please forgive me just this once. My wife is pregnant,
but the baby is upside down.
If I don't go back, both my wife and my baby will die.
Please forgive me this once, mister.
Please spare me just this once. I must go.
Please forgive me.
Hey.
Take them.
This is the last time.
Don't ever steal again.
If you don't stop,
you will hurt your child.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thief!
- Where is he? - Catch the thief!
Sir, he went that way!
- That way! - All right.
- Okay. - Thank you.
Thief!
Catch that thief!
Thief!
(Episode 1)
I paid you the interest the other day. Why are you here again?
Do you want me to smack your head and kill you?
What? Pan Soo.
After I heard my wife swear, I knew that this had to be my house.
Oh, my goodness. What on earth happen?
Min Jae. Min Jae!
Your dad is here!
Min Jae!
My baby. Let me hug you.
Let me see your face, my baby.
Goodness. You've grown a lot.
You are handsome just like your dad.
You, punk.
What happened?
You still had some time left to serve though.
I got out by a special amnesty given by the President.
Min Jae, I am an exemplary citizen.
You...
My son...
Those creditors took away...
all the valuables that could be worth any money...
including the TV and telephone.
Our house was sold off a long time ago too.
Were you able to have meals?
We managed to feed ourselves.
I do anything to earn money.
I forgot. Wait here for a bit.
- Where are you going? - Just wait here.
You know the photo?
The photo of Baek San in the drawer.
What about that photo?
They're looking for the descendants of the people in the photo.
I told you to never mention that again.
Don't you remember what happened to my dad...
when he applied for one before?
This is a different era than before.
What difference does it make? People with status haven't changed.
When they took my dad, they took me too in order to make him talk.
In front of me, they...
I do know what happened to him,
but the government isn't looking for you.
Was it Yoon Jae Won?
A society to commemorate fighters of independence is looking for you.
Cheonmun Group is sponsoring it too.
The person looking for me isn't of importance.
After that day, my dad lived his life as a disabled...
and never lived in one place in order to stay out of their sight.
Why is that so important?
It's already hard to feed ourselves as it is now.
If it is confirmed, Min Jae's tuition won't be a problem
and it won't be a problem for him to get a job.
How can you say that after you saw me having a fit every night?
Why are you yelling at me?
Do you think this is for my own benefit?
Even if I don't have anything to pass down,
I won't ever apply for that.
At least for Min Jae,
I won't make him live the life I had.
No matter how hard it may be,
in his dreams,
I'm going to help him rest comfortably.
If you don't, Min Jae won't even be able to have a dream.
Do as you please.
The problem is me who brought it up knowing you won't agree on this.
Why isn't this working?
Sir, but you know that I have skills.
Forget it. How can I hire a two-time criminal with a record of robbery?
You know well that I had my reasons for it.
Please, sir.
Go find a job somewhere else. I'm busy.
Min Jae.
Why can't you answer me?
Why are you here, not at school?
Gosh, I'm going to teach him a lesson.
Don't.
I asked him to give me a job.
Why?
Come with me. Let's go to school.
- No. - You punk.
Hey, do you want to spend your whole life here instead of studying?
Come with me right now.
What good is school for me?
The classmates make fun of me because my dad is a thief.
The teacher scolds me because I did not bring the school supporting fee.
- Min Jae. - Do you think this is what I want?
It's all your fault, Dad.
Because you weren't here, Mom struggled all by herself...
I...
I really hate you!
What's wrong with your leg?
Are you hurt?
No.
Let me see.
It's okay. I just hit my leg on the tree.
Climb on my back.
No.
Hey. Listen to me.
Just climb on my back.
Now.
Hye Won, what's the matter?
Let go of me.
Let's go, Soo Yeon.
Hye Won. Hye Won!
Hye Won, where are you going?
Let go of me.
I have no reason to live with you anymore.
You go away every vacation.
And now you're using a monthly leave to go away?
Why don't you just stay there for good?
I told you this is the last time.
Do you even know how many times you told me this is the last time?
You should at least tell me why you are leaving.
You can't do this to me unless you have another wife there.
Hye Won, it's not like that.
Then why can't you tell me?
Just ask people around you.
My husband leaves for two months and spends his money every vacation.
And I can't even ask why? Do you think I'm a fool?
Mom, please stop fighting.
Whenever you fight with Dad, I feel bad.
Soo Yeon.
We're not living here anymore.
I can't live with Dad.
Why would you say that to him?
I want to live with Dad. I like Dad.
All right, Soo Yeon.
I'm sorry. I'm not leaving. I won't.
Soo Yeon, let's go in. Let's go.
Here you go. Take off your shoes.
(Certificate of award)
Min Jae.
I promise.
No matter what happens, even if the sky falls,
I won't steal ever again.
So don't be upset. Okay?
Let me down now.
I'm okay. You're not heavy.
Let's go home like this.
I didn't have any chance to give you a piggyback ride.
I just want to pee.
What? You do?
All right.
Look at you. You've grown a lot.
Gosh.
Dad.
The field is so broad.
Why don't we have any land?
It's not that I'm blaming you.
I just wonder what your father and your grandfather did...
and why they made you so poor.
The government isn't looking for you.
Was it Yoon Jae Won?
A society to commemorate fighters of independence is looking for you.
Cheonmun Group is sponsoring it too.
(Park Myung Joo)
They are the members of Heroic Corps.
This is my grandfather.
The man in the middle is Baek San, as you know.
Except Baek San who died without a family before liberation,
we don't even know...
their names.
They must be buried...
in the fields and mountains...
without honor.
However, I want to find their descendants.
I want to find them, embrace them,
and cry together with them.
They must have gone through a lot.
I want to console them.
I'm home.
Hey, my handsome son. Did you study hard at school?
Yes.
Hey, turn that frown upside down.
A young child like you with a big frown would lose his luck.
Are you going out to look for a job?
Yes. I have a good feeling today.
I had a dream in which I raked in...
a lot of money.
That would be great.
Just wait for me. I'll be back.
Who are you?
You're Jang Pan Soo, right?
Yes. Why?
- Dad. - What are you doing?
- Dad. - Why are you doing this to me?
What's going on?
I don't know. I didn't do anything wrong.
- We have to stop them, right? - Get off me.
I didn't do anything.
- Let go! - What should I do?
Your dad must have stolen something.
- What should I do? - Dad!
Dad!
We're almost there.
Are you treating him soft like a guest?
Beat him up before we get there.
It's a fine spring day.
(Born as a man, you should go like cherry blossoms.)
Untie him.
Why are you doing this to me?
I didn't steal anything.
Raise your head.
You know Baek San, right?
What's that?
You submitted an application for the families of Heroic Corps.
(Application for the families of Heroic Corps)
You said this is your grandfather.
(Sponsored by Cheonmun Group)
Yes.
So you know Baek San.
No.
I don't know anything about my grandfather. I don't know his face.
I just heard about him from my father. I'm telling you the truth.
Then from your father...
you must've heard about the map.
The map?
No, I've never heard about it.
It's true. It's true.
I'm telling the truth. Trust me.
What did you say his son's name was?
His name is Jang Min Jae. He's in second grade.
Min Jae.
- Bring him here. - Why would you bring him here?
When you see your son's face,
you might remember something about Baek San.
Right?
- Bring him. - Wait. Wait.
Wait. Wait.
Why? Did you...
remember something?
Don't bring Min Jae here. Just...
Just beat me.
All right. I'll give you 30 minutes.
Let's see if you remember it first...
or if your son gets here first.
Let's see. Shall we?
It's all your fault, Dad.
Dad.
The field is so broad.
Why don't we have any land?
I...
I really hate you!
Sir, Baek Sang has a grandson.
I heard about it too.
It's surprising.
Mr. Baek hasn't seen him since he was in middle school.
If he still lives in Chuncheon,
I can find him within an hour.
Then get him.
What are you waiting for?
But sir,
we failed once before.
About his father.
- What about him? - If he is Baek San's grandson,
he might be even tougher.
Why don't we approach it using another way?
Kim Chan Gi just left the staff room.
Perhaps we're just wasting our time.
All right.
Good luck.
- Bye, sir. - Bye.
What are you doing? It's the guy on the bike.
Do you want us to get your son? Do you?
Chan Gi.
You are Chan Gi, right?
You are Kim Chan Gi.
Are you Pan Soo?
Hey, I looked all over for you. How can you appear just now?
Hey.
By the way,
what's up with your face?
I tripped and fell at a construction site.
It's been a long time.
Have you been well?
Pan Soo, you idiot.
Where have you been all along?
Goodness, Pan Soo.
Pan Soo.
Are you sure about this?
All right.
Hey, drink slowly.
We won't end with one round today.
You have to go to my place.
You will love my daughter.
Pan Soo, what are you doing?
Won't you bring up about Baek San?
Do you want to see your son die?
Chan Gi.
I have...
a son too.
Is that right? How old is he?
He's different from his father.
He's really smart.
I haven't done anything to him as his father.
But he's so mature.
I...
I want to see him become successful.
Goodness, you've become such a caring father.
I...
still dream about...
my father.
I won't be able to forget for him.
To protect my father,
your father was on the run...
while keeping the secret.
I only heard about it later.
- I am sorry, Pan Soo. - My son Min Jae...
My son, Min Jae can't go through such thing.
Pan Soo, will you keep talking nonsense?
Pan Soo, what's wrong?
Are you already drunk?
Pan Soo.
Stop it now.
Bring him here right away.
When will you find the map at this rate?
What is it?
What are you doing here?
(Application for the families of Heroic Corps)
What are you doing?
I came because I got worried about you leaving the event early.
But the map?
Has that been the purpose all along?
Is this why you wanted me to find the descendants?
Father.
I will make sure it doesn't affect you.
I have my reasons.
Whatever the reason is, it cannot happen.
Stop it at once.
I can't do that.
I said I have a reason.
What do you possibly want more?
What do you think people will say about you if this gets out?
I am not the problem.
You will always be tagged as being a part of the pro-Japanese faction.
Will you remind the world about it?
Do you want people to say that you're just like your father?
- Stop it. - You already have a lot.
So why do you need the map?
I told you to stop!
You only know about law.
You don't know much about my business.
Cheonmun Chemicals...
is on the verge of going bankrupt.
If that falls, the entire group will be at risk.
Are you telling me to watch...
the company go bankrupt?
Are you saying that map...
is powerful enough to stop you from going bankrupt?
It won't just stop it.
It might help us make a new leap forward.
Didn't you know?
The First Lady...
is the biggest fan of cultural assets.
Something on a par with national treasure can change everything.
I don't know about other things,
but I can never give up on this.
My company is my life.
Don't add anything to it.
Pan Soo.
What's that on your ear?
Run away.
What are you talking about?
Who are you?
What's going on?
Pan Soo, who are they? Pan Soo.
Pan Soo!
- Open your mouth. - I don't want to eat.
Who are you?
What are you doing in my house? Excuse me.
What are you doing here?
Why are you doing this to us?
Soo Yeon.
What do you think you're doing?
Why on earth are you doing this here?
I don't think it's here.
Why are you taking my son?
Soo Yeon!
- Soo Yeon! - Mom!
- Mom! - Don't take him!
- Soo Yeon! - Mom!
Soo Yeon! Let go of me!
- Soo Yeon! - Mom!
Soo Yeon!
Soo Yeon...
Who are you?
What are you doing?
Hey!
Who are you?
Pan Soo, who are they?
I don't know.
They just dragged me here.
I submitted an application for the families of Heroic Corps.
And what happened to my father is happening to me now.
Is that why you got me involved too? Did you tell them about me?
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
Chan Gi...
Look how terribly you got hurt.
You should have told them about me right away.
Why did you endure the torture like a fool?
It's all right.
You and your dad did everything you could.
I know you weren't going to say that until the end.
Gosh, Pan Soo.
I really wanted you to lead a decent life. And what's all this, Pan Soo?
We're ready, sir.
Get rid of that thief.
- Clean up the mess nicely. - I will.
You're Baek San's grandson.
- It's nice to meet you. - Who are you?
There's no need to know who I am.
I don't care who you are, but there must be a misunderstanding.
I don't know what he said,
but I have nothing to do with Baek San.
Check my family register. And let him go.
Of course, I will.
Come in.
Dad.
Soo Yeon!
- Soo Yeon, come here. - Dad.
Why did you bring him here?
He's only four years old.
- Soo Yeon. - Come here.
Pan Soo!
Please take Soo Yeon with you.
- You can't do this to us. - Chan Gi.
Chan Gi, I'm sorry!
Pan Soo!
Mark my words.
Erase everything happened today from your head.
If you say even the slightest thing about today,
your wife and your son...
will be dead.
Yes, I understand.
(Storage)
I will. I will keep that in mind.
I swear.
I swear. I will say nothing.
So Joo, let's have a meal first.
Then you can play with your toys after that.
Okay. Stay here.
Detective Kang.
- What do you mean by adultery? - Here's my girl.
That's total nonsense.
- I need to talk to the chief. - I ate all of it.
- Good girl. - Do you know who I am?
The chief is the brother of my cousin's uncle.
Cut it out.
Can't you see? She's eating now.
Look.
These photos are pieces of art.
Were you shooting an X-rated film or something?
This is undeniable evidence.
You both have a family. How dare you commit adultery?
Adultery is the charge that I hate most!
People like you are the ones who make my blood boil.
Detective Jo, let me take this case in my hands.
Sure.
What?
So Joo, don't you think these two are really bad?
- They are bad. - This is my girl.
You're such a good girl.
My dear little one.
Don't you ever commit adultery again.
- I won't. - Don't commit it again.
I won't.
Let me see.
The adultery charge is grave.
It's well stipulated in the Criminal Code.
Do you know how serious adultery is?
Look. It's stated on the 1st to 5th,
even to the seventh page.
Do it quickly.
Gosh, what are you doing?
You know it's a crucial proof.
Now we cannot use it as a proof anymore.
Goodness.
Detective Jo, what should we do now? This proof...
Seriously.
My goodness.
Gosh.
Darn it.
There's nothing I can do about it. Just leave.
Can we really leave?
We can't advance the investigation...
with the proof tempered. Go home.
- Thank you. - Thank you. I apologize.
Don't you ever do that again!
So Joo, you're a gentle girl. Why did you make such mistake?
Detective Jo.
I'm leaving.
You're on night duty today. You can't leave.
Hey, can't you see this little girl beside me?
How am I supposed to stay up overnight with her?
Don't you know that violates her human rights?
I couldn't even play with her on Children's Day.
So Joo, what do you want to have for dinner?
Pork cutlet.
I want pork cutlet too.
All right. Let's go.
Sir. Sir, please help me.
Please help me, sir.
They took my son away from me.
They took my Soo Yeon away from me. He's only four.
Please find him. Please find Soo Yeon for me.
- Whatever happened to you, - Please, sir.
you should go tell the detective over there.
- So Joo, let's go. - Please.
Help her.
You said you're hungry. You want pork cutlet, don't you?
- I said help her. - Please...
Please find him for me.
- I'm begging you. - Goodness.
Hold on... All right. Give me a second.
What is it?
Hello?
A kid...
A kid is kidnapped.
Sorry?
What are you talking about? Where did that happen?
Where are you? Who are you?
I am...
I am no one.
Hold on. Where are you?
This is...
I am...
(Wolgok-Ri)
This is... I think I am near Wolgok-Ri.
Gosh.
Pan Soo!
Dad.
Please take Soo Yeon with you.
Pan Soo. Pan Soo!
Take Soo Yeon. Please take Soo Yeon!
Pan Soo!
It's all right.
You and your dad did everything you could.
Gosh, Pan Soo.
What happened?
That's what I want to ask you.
I came here because I was curious, but this already happened.
What have you done to him?
If the public finds out that a person died here,
what do you think will happen to the chairman?
We should move the body first.
Prosecutor Yoon, pretend you didn't see this. I will take care of this.
What's wrong?
A kid is in that room.
Be quiet. I'm trying to save you.
Kid!
Hey, you!
Hey, what are you doing here?
You could've been dead!
All right. Sit tight. Okay?
Don't cry. Eat this.
If you cry, a tiger will take you away.
But that is a total lie.
Are you the primary witness?
Yes.
After my workout, I was coming down from the mountain.
I spotted something weird, so I went to see it.
A person was lying dead just like this.
Hey, move aside.
What's going on?
- Hey, let go of me. - Who are you?
I am a police officer.
Look.
I am Prosecutor Yoon Joong Tae of Chuncheon District.
I'm sorry to have not recognized you, sir.
- Why are you here? - Well.
I found a child last night around this area.
Sir, who is this person by the way?
I don't know. I must investigate to find out.
Preserve the crime scene and let no one into the scene.
Contact the prosecutors' office and ask them to send a forensic team.
Yes, sir.
Goodness, Pan Soo.
What on earth happened?
What's up with your face?
Dad, did you steal again?
No, I didn't. Why would I steal?
Then who were they?
You know that my family has a lot of debts. That's why they took me.
Jerks. They keep taking the interests regularly.
Why would they beat you up?
I won't let them off this time!
Drop it.
I settled it with few punches.
I did some manual work for the interest.
Don't make this into a big deal.
Min Jae.
Have you been going to school?
I thought you were stealing again.
I'm sorry.
I made a promise to you...
that I won't ever steal again.
But still. Look at your face.
I said I am fine.
This is nothing.
You don't know how strong I am.
(Chuncheon Police Station)
Who are you calling a thief?
I know you stole it.
- Take it out. - Am I stupid?
Why would I take the evidence for my case?
Why would I do it if I was obviously going to be accused?
Think of all the things you've done so far.
You went in between people and took their settlement money.
You took money from people who came here for adultery.
You released street vendors in return for bribes.
Do you want me to recite some more?
I never eat something that will give me stomachache.
Stomachache?
You'd eat it even if it would give you enteritis and make you vomit.
Goodness. What will my beautiful So Joo do if I die?
Why would I shorten my own life?
I felt bad about raising your daughter alone,
so I had been overlooking those things.
But it's different this time.
Get it out before the higher authorities get involved.
I said I didn't take it!
Hey!
If you don't bring it back by tomorrow,
you will be fired!
Mr. Kim, whose body was found in the mountain last month,
has been murdered due to his involvement in a drug case.
The prosecution announced that they found drug in his body...
and that 120g of heroin was found in his school locker.
- 120g of heroin. - Mr. Kim is said to have...
visited Hong Kong several times during school breaks.
(Woori Store)
Bye.
Father.
Why did grandfather join the independence movement?
Why did he have to do that and create this mess?
What's so important about the country?
What is it to make me so miserable?
If you had nothing to inherit to your descendants,
you could've at least not cause any nuisance.
Were you...
that kind of a man?
Did you go to Hong Kong often...
for drugs?
Is that why you couldn't tell me?
If you are that kind of a man,
I don't have any reasons to go on living.
I will...
just follow you.
Pan Soo. Pan Soo!
Take Soo Yeon. Please take Soo Yeon!
- You can't do this to us. - Chan Gi.
Chan Gi, I'm sorry!
Pan Soo!
Is anybody here?
Is anyone here?
Mrs. Jang.
Mrs...
Mrs. Jang!
Mrs. Jang! Mrs. Jang!
You can go to the counter and pay the fees.
The fees?
I haven't got any money.
Borrow it if you must, but you need to hurry up.
It seems like they've gotten gas poisoning from coal briquettes.
They will be in danger if they're not treated immediately.
Okay.
I am in a hurry, sir.
I will pay you back. Please lend me some money.
Are you mad?
Why would you come to my house at this hour?
I got no money.
Sir. Sir.
(Woori Store)
Min Jae.
I will promise you.
No matter what happens, even if the sky falls,
I won't steal ever again.
So don't be upset. Okay?
Dad, did you steal again?
No, I didn't. Why would I steal?
Il Jae.
Goodness.
It's me.
How can you ignore your friend?
Hey,
it's because you always put me in trouble.
What's wrong?
I saved you when you got attacked with a knife.
Who made you get a job at the prosecutor's office?
Goodness.
You never forget to bring that up.
What is it this time?
Give me the key to the evidence room.
Are you mad?
No.
Take this and go get some snacks for So Joo.
I wonder if your wife knows.
The other day, you and Madam Jang...
went on a trip.
What did you say?
It's a romance for you,
but your wife will think you're having an affair.
Hey.
Will you really do this to me?
I will support your romance.
So give me the key.
It's just that I'm in a bit of a crisis myself.
(From A to B)
(Kim Chan Gi Case File)
I knew it.
How can he take my thing and use it as evidence?
And he turned...
the cheap meth...
into heroin.
Wait.
They wouldn't have brought this just to fire me.
Gosh, you startled me.
Hello, Prosecutor Yoon.
Are you Sergeant Kang Seong Il?
Gosh.
You're so smart.
How could you remember my name after looking at my card once?
What are you doing here at this late hour?
At this late hour?
The prosecutors and the police... are closely linked together.
I just stopped by for a minor issue.
Have a good day, sir.
(Witness record, Case record, Crime site photos)
- Min Jae. - What...
did you just do?
Well... I was...
You promised me.
You won't steal ever again.
I'm sorry. I had to do this for some unavoidable reasons.
You promised me...
that you won't steal ever again.
People's lives depend on this.
Gosh.
What's wrong? Are you hurt?
What?
Dad.
- Dad. - I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's all my fault. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Dad.
(The Good Thieves)
Jang Pan Soo, did you take the kid?
No, I didn't. Why would I do that?
Don't lie to me. You ran to her!
Is what Min Jae said true?
I wish I didn't have a father.
We have to find their descendants.
They were looking for the rest of the map.
Father!
Don't second guess yourself.
And stop putting me in danger.
Did the kid see that?
Are you sure you asked them not to speak about that?
The case is linked to Chairman Hong Il Gwon.
It's been more than 10 years since I became a policeman.
Don't stir this up into a big thing.
I'll take care of it.
