ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, PLACES, AND EVENTS ARE FICTIONAL.
What? Why...
Why is it out here? I definitely threw this out.
I'm sorry for not throwing out garbage properly.
"Garbage"?
But this isn't fair.
I threw it out properly.
EPISODE 8
Honey.
Have you seen my briefcase?
Honey.
Honey?
Honey, my briefcase...
I can't find...
Isn't that yours?
What?
Gosh, it's right here.
Why is this here?
Are you here to report back?
Yes, but he has something else, so I was told to come back tomorrow.
You got in trouble again, didn't you?
Why would I get in trouble?
Did you find the black agent who was in charge of Kang Yeo Joo?
That agent was demoted, sent abroad, then came back in a hurry.
So everyone is on the edge.
Why?
What do you think? His connections are in the opposition party.
So what?
The presidential election will be held soon.
Hence, he's now a lame duck. You don't get it?
People in the opposition party are slowly returning one by one.
You better be careful too.
Be careful of what?
Mr. Ma's connections are in the ruling party.
If your boss is with the ruling party, so are you.
You can't help it no matter how much you hate him.
These political affairs do nothing for civil servants.
The people give us our paychecks.
You're impossible.
Who cares if you're a secret weapon...
if you're this ignorant to office politics?
Hey.
What?
The Grim Reaper is here.
Is he one of our agents?
No, an outsource.
He's a freelancer.
If he showed up,
that means someone will end up dead.
So he's a killer.
I think Mr. Ma is up to something.
Do you have something to say?
How long do I have to clean up for you?
It's in the Philippines.
Get it back.
Alive?
I don't care if it's alive or dead.
That's not what's important, is it?
Go get it back.
Head over to the Philippines now,
before that woman does anything else.
I should probably practice playing the piano, right?
I can't seem to play along with you anymore.
I'm a mess now too.
Goodness, you're still good.
The sound of you on your keyboard almost sounds like the piano.
Goodness, what are you doing?
I was about to do the laundry.
Take off your pants too.
Goodness, I'll do it myself.
I'll do it.
No, I got it.
Take it off now.
Yes.
Then I'll see you at the event.
Thank you.
ATTENDEES OF THE EVENT
LAWYER HAN WOO SUNG
010...
It's cold.
Her radar's on.
I should be careful.
Here.
Can you pick it up for me?
What's the password?
Why would I have one? I have nothing to hide.
Even married couples need to respect each other's privacy.
Who's calling me at this hour?
Hello?
Hello, Lawyer Han.
I'm Ko Mi Rae.
Do you remember me back at the Han River?
The Han River?
Thank you for dropping me off last time.
This could easily cause a misunderstanding.
Of course, I remember.
Yes.
I really owe you one.
By the way,
why have you called at this hour?
Well...
I'm sorry.
I couldn't call you in the afternoon because I was part-timing.
Oh, I see.
I understand.
Okay.
Not at all. It's not late.
Okay.
I almost forgot about you.
Thank you for calling.
I'm certain it's a female's hair.
I see.
So two hours before the event begins?
Yes. I'll see you then.
Thank you.
Who was that?
He's the man I saved at the Han River.
You saved someone from drowning?
Yes. I'm glad I learned scuba-diving.
Why did you do such a dangerous thing?
That man...
wasn't even breathing.
But now, he's alive and doing well.
He can talk and drive again.
Well, isn't that fascinating?
Had I known this was how it felt to save someone,
I would've studied medicine instead of arts.
You can't buy your way into that.
Judging by the coarseness of the hair,
she's not young.
The hair root looks weak.
It's medium length, a bob, and yellowish brown.
MEDIUM LENGTH, BOB, YELLOWISH BROWN
The cuticle is a mess.
Was she under a lot of stress?
It's mine.
Where is she going this late at night?
What is she doing?
Is the lead character a CSI agent or something?
What are you doing here?
Why are you here?
We ran out of toilet rolls,
so I was going to restock them before going home.
So what are you doing here?
I was...
peeping.
You were peeping?
I was curious as to how she got inspired.
You see, I want to be just like her.
Goodness, is that so?
You're so hardworking even at this hour.
What is she suspecting?
What?
Has she found out that I'm into politics again?
She thinks...
I have a woman on the side.
I've erased the dashcam footage.
I've reset the navigation history.
She won't find anything in the car...
right now.
"ACP"?
ACP...
ACP.
Here it is.
THIS SUBSTANCE IS USED TO DETECT SPERM.
ACP...
"This substance is used to detect sperm"?
THIS SUBSTANCE IS USED TO DETECT SPERM.
What?
Did she catch wind?
Honey, I love you.
You should open the sun visor too.
He's completely clean.
A bit too clean.
What?
Honey, where did you go at this hour?
Perhaps, was it the garage?
The car was dirty, so I cleaned it up.
At this hour?
And then, I found this in the car.
Sorry.
I bought that for you,
but we switched cars, so I forgot about it.
Thanks for the surprise.
I didn't know that you bought a present for me.
The scarf looks great on you.
It's perfect.
I had no idea that you were this meticulous.
I knew it. I'm perfect.
Are you going back to work again? It's bedtime soon.
I'm writing an important part now.
Who are you going to kill tonight, Ms. Writer?
Not tonight.
I'm waiting for the right moment.
I'm curious about the plot.
It's about a culprit who thinks he committed a perfect crime.
What a page-turner.
The culprit cuts out all of his fingerprints,
so he doesn't leave any evidence behind, but in the end,
he gets caught because he doesn't have any fingerprints.
So he basically falls for his own trick.
The message is that people shouldn't be playing tricks.
Go to sleep without me.
It was confirmed that the blood found on the trophy...
belonged to Baek Soo Jung's manager, Kim Duk Gi.
How's the police's investigation going?
They found out that the manager left for the Philippines...
and have asked the police in Manila...
for a joint international investigation.
What about Baek Soo Jung's autopsy report?
I don't think the murder weapon is a knife.
The trophy.
But we only found her manager's blood on the trophy.
Then,
did the culprit scratch her head with some kind of claw hammer?
I don't think that's from a weapon.
I think she hit her head against a corner of some furniture.
What about these wounds?
I think they're scuff marks.
Hold on.
This, this, and this are stab wounds.
The critical wound was...
Yes. Right here.
This is the stab wound in the neck.
When her carotid artery ruptured, she had excessive bleeding.
The cause of death...
It's the secondary shock caused by excessive bleeding.
She was stabbed from the back.
I see a lot of rage in the act.
The culprit still stabbed her even after getting the vital spot.
It's done by an amateur.
The odd thing is...
that termites were found in her stomach.
Termites?
She was found in the river. Why were there termites in her body?
We found them in her stomach and throat.
Then, the body which was originally on the ground...
was moved to the Han River?
These guys usually move underground.
Her body being on the ground...
wouldn't be enough for us to find termites in the body.
So what?
This means that Baek Soo Jung's body...
was buried before she was moved to the Han River.
Your assignment was to keep an eye on Kang Yeo Joo. Okay?
It's not Baek Soo Jung.
- But sir... - This is your last warning.
Just focus on your assignment.
Let the police catch the murderer.
What? Will you disobey your direct order?
No, sir.
I'm sorry.
Hey, when have you seen me wear this kind of stuff?
Come on.
Hey.
You're so petty. You just bought one for yourself?
I was going to share it with you.
About the termites...
That's bothering you too, right? The termites, I mean.
He said he saw her body.
He just said it was a mountain.
He said he saw her body at a mountain.
Perhaps, he was telling the truth.
Right. That's bothering me too.
Is he conscious now?
No, not yet.
When Mr. Bae was first moved to the hospital,
I was told that he was wearing a different hospital's gown.
Then, we should look into that first.
Gosh, they stink.
Goodness. Look at your notes. You didn't miss anything.
Right here.
Have you heard about Duseon Hospital?
Duseon Hospital? I've never heard of that hospital before.
"Deokhawng-ri, Duseon-myeon..." It's in Gyeonggi Province.
Let's go.
Did you stay up all night again because you were writing? Did you?
No. I was on something else.
If you keep working like that without a break,
you'll ruin your skin.
Hey, take this.
That's why I take this every day.
I'll have you know that you have great skin thanks to me.
I know.
Well, my skin feels much better with the supplements.
Gosh.
By the way, where's your assistant?
He went out to get research materials.
Gosh. He doesn't need to go out to find research materials.
Right. You can find everything online these days.
He's probably trying to kill some time.
I didn't want to bother with it.
Don't trust him too much.
What are you doing here?
Trust him? Me?
I already have several suspicions about him.
Don't worry. He's in the palm of your hand.
I think my wife is having an affair with another man.
Were you able to get any text messages between them?
My wife runs a sea snail restaurant.
Okay.
I saw her...
with him at the restaurant.
Please use this.
I'm sorry, sir. That's not enough evidence.
Well...
YULJI SEA SNAIL RESTAURANT
ORIGINAL WILD SEA SNAILS
YULJI SEA SNAIL RESTAURANT
Why won't she pick up the phone?
Wait, and you let them go?
Did you keep any evidence like pictures?
I was really dumbfounded.
But...
the money didn't add up for a while,
so I installed a security camera.
And everything was filmed.
Sir, that's enough evidence.
You can divorce her.
No, I can't divorce her.
Sir, your wife cheated on you.
If I treat her better, she'll come back to me.
Then you can file a suit against the man...
to get compensated by the man she had an affair with.
I don't need any money.
Mr. Han.
Please stop us from getting divorced.
My wife filed the divorce suit.
What?
She filed a suit against you?
Wow, she's unbelievably brazen.
Sir, please get up.
Get up, will you?
You didn't do anything wrong! It's all her fault!
Why is she so self-conscious?
She has everything she can ever want.
It's taxing on your eyes to look at your tablet in the car.
I have to send this to the president by today.
The president can be scary.
What is it?
I'm writing the introduction for our guests...
at an event our club is involved in.
Should I do it?
You might as well go to my classes for me.
Goodness, she's a type who gets herself in hardships.
HAN WOO SUNG
Why does he want to live with a woman who cheated on him?
Do you think it's easy to get divorced?
If your wife cheats on you,
do you think you can leave her right away?
Of course, I can.
Even if your spouse cheats on you,
you have to divide the properties. You know that, right?
I can sell our apartment and get a lease somewhere else.
It's a piece of cake. What's so hard about that?
Did you pay off your mortgage?
I have 10 years left.
Of course, I'll take custody.
Can you raise them all alone?
My mother will...
Her arthritis recently came back.
In that case,
turn a blind eye to her even if she cheats.
You'll be a huge mess once you get divorced.
Wait, why would Yoon Hui cheat on me in the first place?
I don't gamble, cheat,
and I'm not violent.
Your problem is in everything else other than those.
ACCORDING TO LAWYER HAN WOO SUNG, OVER 110,800 COUPLES GET DIVORCED.
The happiest moment of his life is...
watching his wife eating breakfast.
I've never seen my parents eat together.
Those interviews are all lies.
Some get divorced as soon as they have an interview as a happy couple.
He cleans up and cooks...
because he doesn't want his wife's hands to get dirty.
Such a man doesn't exist.
Does his wife make a living for him?
He's a lawyer.
Who is this guy?
Lawyer Han Woo Sung. The National Husband.
There's only one guy like that in Korea.
Only one.
Who is this woman that has...
this unique man?
"HAN WOO SUNG WISHES TO REPRESENT VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE..."
"HAN WOO SUNG ON DIVORCE: DIVORCE BY CONSENT AND PROPERTIES
YOU LEFT THIS IN ROOM 7508 AT SAEMIRAE.
SAEMIRAE HOTEL
There's no place called Saemirae Hotel.
Could it be a motel?
SAEMIRAE MOTEL
SEMIRAE TV SHOPPING, SAEMIRAE MALL, SAEMIRAE DEPARTMENT STORE
Did he get a present for her at the department store?
That doesn't explain Room 7508.
Saemirae, Room 7508.
SAEMIRAE ROOM 7508
SEOYEON UNIVERSITY, SAEMIRAE HALL, ROOM 7508
A hall in Seoyeon University?
Citrusy perfume.
It must be a woman in her early 20s.
You're a college student.
PART 2 WILL SHORTLY BEGIN.
She doesn't visit her in-laws even on holidays.
She doesn't even know her parents-in-law's birthdays.
I'm jealous.
I have to get presents even for my sister-in-law.
She even had him sign a disclaimer of physical rights.
I feel bad for Mr. Han. Why did he marry a woman like her?
Gosh, thank you.
Hello.
We have to make her give up on the divorce suit.
He has evidence of her affair.
She wouldn't push ahead with the suit.
Most people would try to settle the case.
- What did her attorney say? - I've never heard of them.
Sounds like a new lawyer, very clumsy.
They're going to visit us.
That means they know they'll probably lose.
You're right.
It looks like this will be an easy case.
Goodness, we'll teach that new lawyer some lesson.
What?
You said it's someone new.
Exactly.
It seemed too tough for the new one, so I volunteered.
Iced latte for me.
You took this case knowing that I'm on the other side, right?
Bingo.
I'll trample all over you.
Did you even look into the case?
There's no way your party could win.
The husband is violent and suffers from morbid jealousy.
He's been breathing down her neck all day,
so how could she have maintained her marriage life?
He was only helping her out. How's that breathing down her neck?
Are you even aware...
that she had an affair?
We have footage that'll serve as proof.
There's no point in this lawsuit.
Let's mediate this issue...
and tell them to get counseling. What do you say?
All right.
Here is...
your icy-cold cafe latte.
Drink up.
Drink this and rejuvenate yourself.
We won't be mediating.
We've already filed a complaint.
We're going to keep this up until he agrees to the divorce.
This won't be easy.
Why...
did it have to be her?
She's going to play dirty...
and drag it on.
Who are you?
You were in charge of Kang Yeo Joo for three years, right?
I did keep an eye on her,
but it was only a formality.
Everyone thought this task meant nothing.
The higher-ups never gave us any particular orders.
She was writing "The Perfect Disappearance",
so she rarely left home.
I'm good.
While I was a probationary employee,
I was told to go to a wedding.
It was a strange one.
No one on the bride's side had attended.
She had neither parents nor friends.
Let's see.
Can you give me the tools?
This is the most recent edition.
That one has better microphone quality.
I heard nothing in particular happened after she got married,
so why are you snooping around?
Let me give you some advice as your senior.
If you want to work here for long,
leave the thinking to the higher-ups.
Do you know a book called "The Secret Prayer Room"?
Of course. It's a mythical book.
Everyone knows about it, but no one's seen it.
Oh, he might know.
We joined the company around the same time.
He was in charge of her ever since she was a reporter.
His name is Ma Dong Gyun.
RESTRICTED NUMBER
Mr. Ma speaking.
Mr. Ma? The chief?
What? He's already a chief?
Gosh, that was quick.
I should've just stayed at that team. Darn it.
Bye.
It's Mr. Ma again?
Is there no way I can look into this without his help?
Everything leads to him.
It's him every time.
I had high hopes for him...
since I heard he had great patriotism.
I heard he keeps poking around and blowing things up.
I'll keep him under control, sir.
He gets on my nerves. Switch him out.
He's created a great opportunity.
He was successfully hired as her assistant.
If we switch him out,
it'll take time to approach her once again.
You've managed well all along.
Please put your trust in me once again, sir.
The election is around the corner.
I'm aware of that, sir.

Hello.
Are you Ms. Ko Mi Rae?
- Yes. - I'm Reporter Jo Dong Joo...
from Dongmin Daily.
May I have a word with you?
HAN WOO SUNG LAW FIRM, HAN WOO SUNG
I don't even know if I'm doing the right thing.
HAN WOO SUNG LAW FIRM, HAN WOO SUNG
We're running into each other quite often.
L AND S LAW FIRM, HWANG SEON WOOK
Lawyer Hwang's father-in-law passed away.
I decided to fill in for him...
despite my busy schedule.
I see.
Are you already trying to look good in front of your constituency?
No.
Then are you trying to look good in front of someone else?
I changed my hairstyle, but I guess you don't notice.
Back then, I'd trim my bangs, and you'd notice right away.
You got a perm, didn't you?
It turned out nicely.
It was expensive.
No wonder the curls look different. They look luscious.
They're glossy.
I saw you as I was leaving the salon.
SEOYEON UNIVERSITY
She's young and pretty,
but she doesn't seem that intelligent.
So that's your ideal type.
Lawyer Han.
I have something to tell you.
Why did you lie?
What? About what?
Lawyer Han saved a college student from drowning in the Han River.
It's you, right?
I'd like to interview you for my article.
Interview?
Does that mean I'll be in the newspapers?
I have no idea why that happened.
Can you not release that article?
Don't worry. I'm sure it's a misunderstanding.
He said he'd release it tomorrow.
If people find out that I was there that day, then I'll...
Would that put you in a pickle?
Well...
I'll get fired from my part-time job...
because I lied that I was sick.
And the owner doesn't know I was there that day.
It was really hard to get that job. And I need the money for school.
And...
I don't know why I have to ask you for your help...
when I haven't done anything wrong.
Exactly. Gosh.
The air is different outside of Seoul.
What's this smell?
This is how mountain herbs smell. Don't you know that?
I was wondering where this rotten smell was coming from.
I hate mountain herbs.
It's so far.
EMERGENCY
He was wearing another hospital's gown?
This is the guy, right?
- Yes, that's him. - And did he hurt his head?
Yes. A lot.
It was around here.
He was sitting here like this.
When I first found him, I thought he was drunk.
There were a lot of injuries on his body.
Did he climb up there? Or did he climb down from there?
Over there. What's there once you climb the hill?
A cemetery.
Actually, this whole mountain is a cemetery.
But there aren't any graves here yet.
That article will be a PR boost for us. Why correct it?
I already handled it nicely. Don't you worry about that.
That's not the problem.
What would that student think about me?
She would like you. She'll be in an article.
No one hates getting some attention.
You're up next, Mr. Han.
Thank you.
Thank you for your great speech, Environmental Activist Cha Ju Seong.
I'm sure you all know our next guest I'm about to introduce.
He's the National Husband.
He leads our young generation with his fresh ideas.
I'd like to introduce Lawyer Han Woo Sung to you.
HOPEFUL TOMORROW YOUTH ASSOCIATION 4TH OPENING CEREMONY
Hello.
Hello, college students.
I'm a lawyer. My name is Han Woo Sung.
Do you think someone could go to trial because...
he or she didn't thank someone?
HOPEFUL TOMORROW YOUTH ASSOCIATION 4TH OPENING CEREMONY
Your answer is probably no, right?
No. I've seen many cases like that.
That's the basis of divorce suits.
"Thank you."
What a thank-you could do...
is truly amazing.
Even I sometimes forget to thank people.
That's why before it's too late,
I would like to say this.
Thank you for saving me.
What?
A while ago, this man...
saved me from the river. He's my Good Samaritan.
What are you doing?
I am sincerely grateful for your help.
Including the setup with the Pilates class.
Exposing me to the public would complicate my job a lot.
They're taking pictures anyway. So try to smile.
Don't worry.
This place would look creepy at night.
A cemetery doesn't exactly give you cheerful vibes even during the day.
Oh, that day? I do remember.
I went on my patrol around 2:30 a.m.
You go on your patrol even that late?
No. That day was different.
Someone threw a rock at the window.
Why would anyone throw a rock that late at night?
I just thought someone must've gotten drunk after the visit.
That happens from time to time.
Just in case, I called the police...
and looked around the cemetery.
He ran that way. Over there.
Did you see his face?
I had a glimpse.
But it was way too dark.
HAN WOO SUNG LAW FIRM, HAN WOO SUNG
Ms. Park.
I heard Seoyeon University determines the winner...
of the election in Seodong-gu.
Yes. That's why I'm drilling in on that one.
Why did you want to meet?
I'm interested in politics.
But politics isn't as much as you think.
I have better scores than Mr. Han on the CSAT, the bar exam,
and the exam at the Judicial Research and Training Institute.
Scores aren't important in politics.
Politicians must have charming stories. That's important.
"Charming stories"?
Mr. Han's stories...
are dirtier than you think.
Is that so?
You'll be in danger if you go with Mr. Han.
And I'll see to it that you do.
Does this mean you'll be joining me...
and abandoning Mr. Han?
Thank you for today.
I'm sorry for misunderstanding you and getting angry at you earlier.
MESSAGES
I'M SORRY FOR MISUNDERSTANDING YOU AND GETTING ANGRY AT YOU EARLIER.
I'm sorry.
I'm kind of sensitive to this kind of message right now.
DO YOU WANT TO DELETE THIS MESSAGE?
Gosh. You startled me.
She's smiling.
You're home.
She's formal.
Is she cooking?
I cooked the seafood soup which you like.
She ended up cooking too.
Actually, I was craving seafood soup.
Gosh. You're the best, honey.
Thank you.
Wait.
You can take your car now.
Gosh.
May I do that?
Sure. I fixed it up a little.
It was too old-fashioned.
I changed it to an infrared dash cam.
Everything will get recorded perfectly no matter how dark it is.
Did you scrape off the window tint?
I heard it hinders with radio wave signals.
And it's too dark when you drive at night.
Yes, you're right.
Your seats were dirty, so I got you new ones too.
And I took it in for service too.
You don't have to thank me.
Your safety is as important as my safety.
Thank you, honey.
Now, give me back my car.
Yes, you're right.
I have to get it cleaned.
No, I'll do it myself.
Wait, no.
Honey, it doesn't smell good.
I know this smell.
Mothballs?
I wanted it to smell better quickly.
There's no one who knows more about her than me.
Of course not.
You're the first one to get a job as an assistant.
Is there anyone she dated before she got married?
There's only one guy you can meet right now.
Who's that?
Ma Dong Gyun.
Forget him.
CHEAT ON ME, IF YOU CAN
How dangerous is Kang Yeo Joo?
There have been many odd deaths lately.
But there was no proper investigation.
I'm the CEO of Soo Jung's agency.
Please find the person who did that to her.
Are you sure that's Kang Yeo Joo's car?
And she went to a cemetery in the middle of the night by chance?
If you eat it, you can see dazzling yellow as you die.
You might not be her first husband.
Do you know that already? Or are you getting deceived?
He's not married or dating anyone.
Why is he wearing a ring?
Did you two meet here?
It must've been like a scene from a movie.
Now that I put the puzzle pieces together,
all I have to do is make arrangements.
