LIKE FLOWERS IN SAND
Kim Baek-du, did you find it? Come on and bring it here.
Okay.
Come on.
Hurry!
FIRST GEUMGANG-CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP
24-HOUR SCENE
Hey, it's starting now.
We received reports
of rampant pickpocketing around the subway station
and went to investigate in hopes of gathering information.
Most pickpockets' eyes
are fixed on people's belongings
such as handbags, rather than people.
KIM GEUM-GANG FIRST GEUMGANG-CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP
EPISODE 4 I KNOW WHAT YOU DID THAT DAY
I didn't say anything wrong.
I can say that much because she's married.
And why is she still so violent? Jeez.
Darn it.
And she's been lying to me, saying that she wasn't Du-sik.
What about that?
Why are you so surprised? As if you didn't know.
Hey.
- Oh Du-sik, you… - Baek-du.
No matter how hard you try, I can see right through you.
So stop saying you hate ssireum. You don't even mean it.
Come back while I ask nicely.
Du-sik, look.
- Why are you doing this to me... - Because I need you.
Both the team and I need you.
We need you, Baek-du.
I…
Really need you to be here.
Well, but…
Is this okay?
What do you mean?
I mean, you…
You're married.
And?
Well, since you're married now
and have a husband,
maybe you're not supposed to say
things like that to me.
Okay. Keep going.
Don't put me in a bind.
Wait, what are you thinking?
Me and you?
Kim Baek-du!
Have you lost your mind?
- That hurts. - Stay away from me.
- Or I'll kill you. - Wait, Du-sik.
If you come near me, I'll throw you.
- Wait. - Got it?
- Hey. - You must be crazy.
- Wait. - I can't believe this.
Wait a moment. You…
- What's the matter? - Be quiet.
Why?
What is it? Du-sik!
If that's not what it is, why would she need me?
And why would she look at me like that?
Kim Baek-du must have completely lost his mind.
I mean, what does he take me for?
That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life.
Seriously.
That was insulting.
And absolutely humiliating.
What?
Honey.
Could you please stop calling me "honey"?
Ms. Chu.
- What does that mean? - Ms. Chu is here.
Too late to put on a show.
I heard you arguing out there.
Is this really your best?
Captain, what are you doing here?
Why?
- I'm not allowed to come here? - That's not it.
This tastes bad.
On the day Choi died, he had a fight with someone.
A CCTV here caught it.
Mom, did you hear?
The new general manager of the ssireum team recommended
Baek-du as the new coach.
CONGRATULATIONS ON RETIREMENT
What's there to hesitate about?
This is a rare opportunity, you know.
But it's kind of awkward.
What's so awkward? Just suck it up and do it.
Jin-su…
I'm putting him in a somewhat awkward position now.
He even turned down the other coaching position to come here.
Goodness, our baby brother has such a kind heart,
worrying about four-time champion Jin-su.
You're definitely going to heaven.
Seriously, you better worry about yourself.
Did you see Jin-su's car?
His car costs more than your salary.
Who are you to talk?
It's not just about Jin-su.
How can I be a coach when I've never won a championship?
I told you. It doesn't matter.
God, you're so frustrating.
Look.
Father won numerous championships,
but he's horrible at teaching.
The ability to convey information and help others understand.
Hey, what's it called? Making others understand things.
Teaching. Father can't teach.
Right. Teaching. Teacher.
- "Ching"? - Yes, that.
Anyhow, just act cool and accept the job.
This is a great chance!
Gosh, enough already.
Stop trying to convince me. I made up my mind. Just stop it.
You're going to freeze and starve!
Hey!
Jeez, what do I do with that clueless punk?
Just leave him alone.
If it doesn't work out, I can start livestreaming with him.
How strange.
Where did it go?
Everything else is here except that one.
What are you looking for?
You know the tape from when you won the championship for the first time?
- I want to review that. - Okay.
But that's the only tape that's missing.
- Did you take it? - No, I don't know where it is.
Baek-du!
How strange.
There's one thing I don't quite understand.
Why did Choi Chil-seong come out to the boondocks with an APB out on him?
If I were him, I would've fled overseas with the money and lay low.
Old habits die hard. He was probably trying to score some cash here.
From a ssireum game in the boonies? After all the big games?
He would've been too proud for that.
And besides, Choi Chil-seong is dead now.
- So... - Then go.
I didn't ask you to follow me here.
You think I wanted to come here?
I'm here because Captain told me to come.
What a loving family.
Hey.
How long do you think you can hold out here like this?
Just pack up then.
And come with me when I head back to Seoul later.
So what's your point?
What do you want to do?
I don't think it's too late
- to publicize the investigation... - No.
Because we need to find out why Choi came to Geosan, whom he met,
and who killed him.
Yu-gyeong, are you sure about this?
You're certain you can uncover all that?
Yes.
Is that so?
- Then give it a go. - Captain.
You can't stay undercover for long anyway.
So either find Choi's ledger or the murder suspect as soon as possible.
Understood?
This is all because of Oh Du-sik.
Now, I'm in a pickle.
She's definitely trying to screw me over.
She must've had all this planned out and…
That lady…
The smoke ring?
But what's she doing here?
He actually made a fair point.
If you don't find anything soon, I'll call you back.
Okay.
And you, keep an eye on her. If she loses it again, call me right away.
Yes, ma'am.
You guys.
You're not arguing every day, are you?
- No, ma'am. - No, ma'am.
You better behave. I'll be keeping an eye on you.
You guys make me so worried.
Don't follow me. You'll only give me a headache.
- Yes, ma'am. - Have a safe trip back.
Go now.
You fool.
Why do you let her walk all over you like that?
Can you believe it?
This is just ridiculous!
Now, my boy Jin-su has nowhere to go.
This is a funny situation indeed.
But Jin-su shouldn't have come
just after that one talk with Head Coach Park.
- He should've signed the contract... - What?
Hey, look.
How would he have known things would turn out this way?
He came because Head Coach Park begged him to.
Jin-su didn't do anything wrong, except for being tender-hearted!
I didn't say he did something wrong.
I'm just saying, if Jin-su can't be the coach...
Why can't he? Why?
He's obviously better than Baek-du in every aspect! So why?
Why would you say that?
That's why I said, "if."
Jeez, just forget it. Now I'm too scared to say anything.
Why Baek-du, of all people?
I'm not eating this.
- Sit down! - Fine. Darn it.
- Hello. - Hey.
What a weird situation, right?
Shall we talk inside? Come in.
Let's go.
Our manager didn't say anything before.
Then suddenly, yesterday, Baek-du's name came up.
- Have a seat. - Okay.
Gosh. Why couldn't it have come up sooner?
Before I called you here.
A new general manager?
What? Yes.
A new manager, recently hired by the governor.
The governor?
Were they recruited from some other team?
No idea. Maybe somebody asked him for a favor.
But the manager seemed to be quite good at ssireum.
On the first day, one of the boys got on her nerves,
and she threw him right over.
What? What's the manager's name?
Yu-gyeong. Oh Yu-gyeong.
- So a woman? - Yeah.
The governor requested multiple times
that we cooperate with her.
So I can't just disregard her opinion.
I'll see if I can convince the manager.
Just give me a few days, okay?
Don't say "hi-yah." They know what it is.
Your form is a bit…
Sorry?
When you use that technique, you shouldn't pull the satba down.
Leaning backwards will make it easier to throw him.
Well… Actually,
Baek-du told me to do it this way the other day.
Should I try again?
No. Whatever is more comfortable for you.
Keep it up.
Hey.
The top student says the answer is number three
and a so-so one says it's number five, and you're picking number five?
Use your brain, will you?
Stop. That's enough.
- Let's get back to practice. - Come on.
Hello.
A new general manager?
Yes. A new manager, recently hired by the governor.
Jeez.
That punk has such creepy eyes.
KIM BAEK-DU
Come to our spot after work.
What is this now?
Wow.
Was this place always this small?
From what I remember, I had to run
for quite a while to get there from this end.
What are you saying?
Even back then, you could run from here to there in no time.
Will you be quiet?
I'm having a moment here.
Does that taste good, by the way?
This?
- Would you like a sip? - No, I can't drink.
You can't drink? Why?
Are you sick?
Sick? No way! I'm very healthy.
And energetic.
I think my body just can't take alcohol.
Whenever I drink, I can't remember anything later.
Jeez. Can you be more pathetic?
What? What is it?
Why do you keep looking at me like that?
No reason.
You really have a knack of getting on my nerves.
Do you know that?
Be careful.
That's not it.
I saw it.
I saw everything earlier.
Saw what?
You being scolded by some lady in front of your house.
Hey.
Is she who I'm thinking?
Is she?
What do you mean?
She's your mother-in-law.
By the way, she looked familiar.
I think I've seen her on a TV show.
- What TV show? - You know…
The…
Right. Love and War.
That's right. Love and War.
Oh, I see.
From what I saw earlier,
she didn't seem any different from the ladies on that show.
You think?
Does she nag you a lot?
Basically every time she sees me.
What does your husband do? He was just staying in the back earlier.
Oh, him.
He doesn't know anything. He's still too young.
He's young? How old is he?
He must be 32.
No, he's 33.
That's not young. He's all grown up.
What kind of husband does that?
What's with you? Why do you look so upset?
Sometimes, I talk back to her pretty strongly too. You know my temper.
But still.
You should've been careful before marrying him.
It's not that bad. You don't have to worry about it.
About what you said to me the other day…
What?
You told me to go back to the ssireum team.
Right.
About that,
I'll think about it carefully.
It's not like Jin-su won the championships by Ghost Leg.
He won them because he was so good.
So he should be the coach.
- Right. - Makes sense.
I get your point,
but being good at something
doesn't mean that you're good at teaching it.
I mean, take my daughter's tutor, for example.
She went to the best university, but was worthless at teaching.
"Why can't you understand this?"
"Why doesn't she understand this, ma'am?"
Come on. Jin-su won't be like that.
- Right. - Well, I don't think
Jin-su gets along very well with his juniors.
But these boys love Baek-du.
- Right. - But Jin-su is just so cold.
It's not some social gathering, you know.
A coach must have good ssireum skills.
But…
- Baek-du isn't that bad at ssireum either. - That's right.
He just never got to show all the skills he has.
Come on. That means he's just bad at it.
He's just bad.
Wait. Keep it down.
What's up?
- Hey. - What?
- Oh, no. - This is bad.
Oh, no. What do we do?
Oh, dear.
We must choose, one way or another. We can't live like this forever.
Jin-su's mom won't even give you extra side dishes
if you say you support Baek-du.
And at the health center,
they give you free medicine if you support Baek-du.
I actually like that.
Still, we can't keep switching sides whenever we visit different stores.
It gives me headaches.
Where are we going, by the way?
We're going to match up Jin-su and Baek-du.
The winner will be the coach.
That's a great idea.
Oh, boy. It looks like they've already started a fight.
You know, about that…
About the coaching position.
Did Seongwon find a replacement already?
- Why do you ask? - Well…
- Because you... - You want me to be Seongwon's coach
so you can take this?
Come on, Jin-su. Don't be like that.
You see, I'm not interested in the coaching position at all.
I'm really not. But…
But I have a reason now to…
No.
I'm going to be the coach here, no matter what.
Of course. Jin-su, you should do it.
Fine. You have it all then.
What… Why?
- Let's have a match! - A match?
What?
You and I will have a match to decide who should be the coach.
What, aren't you confident you'll win?
If you're not,
I'll take it as a defeat.
What do you say? Are you up for a match?
- Go for it. - Come on.
How can I… Forget it.
Oh, come on.
What's your answer?
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure
if you can beat me.
- What? - Fine.
Let's have a match.
We won't know who will win until we wrestle, will we?
Gosh, I'm excited!
It's been ages since we had a match!
Am I right? This will be so much fun!
All right. We'll have a match!
- Are you crazy? - Come on!
Settle your tabs, will you?
It's not even much!
You know what? There's a thin line between bravery and recklessness.
But in your case, you're so far gone. You're reckless.
Want a bite?
What's wrong with you?
Why did you accept it?
Do you want to be a coach?
No way.
I've never even dreamed of it.
Then, why? Why did you suddenly decide to do it?
Obviously, I wasn't thinking.
I must've been possessed by something.
Possessed by what?
You don't want to know. It's some evil girl.
What are you saying?
You don't have to worry too much, though.
I feel bad saying this,
but not many people actually expect you to win.
Almost none.
So don't worry.
What about you?
Do you think I'll lose?
And you call yourself a friend?
Darn it.
It's impossible to identify that person.
Should we ask Geosan Precinct for help? They might be able to recognize him.
Hey, I'm here.
Come on. Hurry up.
- Let's go. - Hey.
- Where's Uk? - He left way earlier.
LEFT TO WATCH SSIREUM PAY HONESTLY
Hey. Come this way.
Hey! I'm here.
- You made it. - Hey.
Why are you so late?
Where were you?
This is amazing. I think we have more of an audience than usual.
It wasn't like this at my match.
Other people might think there's some great match here.
What's the matter?
Can you believe those guys are sitting there?
You're right.
Do they actually think that Baek-du will win?
Well, we all have different opinions, so…
- He has poor judgment. - He was called a prodigy.
Right.
Baek-du sure was born with talent.
- Drink some water. - I'm good.
I have everything here.
Look at Jin-su's body.
He looks so sturdy.
The guys in Seongwon told me
that he's been lifting weights two hours a day since retirement.
- You're kidding. - It's true.
No smoking, no alcohol. He's been textbook clean.
He's so fit.
Does Baek-du have a chance?
Why not? He's got a great body.
I heard he was born with a body that easily builds muscle.
Right. I also heard from someone
that Jin-su joined Seongwon in high school because of Baek-du.
Why?
Because he had never beaten Baek-du until middle school.
You got this, Jin-su!
You got this!
Let's go! My son is the best!
GEOSAN-GUN SSIREUM TEAM
Hold his satba tight and don't even think of lifting him.
It will be hard because he's heavier.
Just let him try Lifting Throw and trip him up so he'll lose balance.
- Okay. - Sounds great.
- Are you listening to me? - Yes. Okay.
- Did you really hear what I said? - Yes. Jeez.
You look so distracted.
Listen to your brother.
Your only problem is that you hold the satba too loosely.
Do you know what a satba is in ssireum? It's the heart of ssireum.
Toughen up, okay?
Having a soft heart can be… What's the word?
Strength. It can be your strength, but this is a match. This world is cruel.
All right. Baek-du, Jin-su, come on up.
Okay? Just keep what I said in mind.
- Go, Baek-du! - Go, Jin-su!
Let's go, Jin-su!
Baek-du, you can do it!
Geosan's champion, Kwak Jin-su!
Let's go!
Grab satbas.
Jeez. That's a tight grip.
Left knees up.
The grip seems disadvantageous for Baek-du.
Outer leg! It's an outer leg skill!
Baek-du! Jin-su is going to do an outer leg skill!
He'll go for his outer leg.
Jin-su!
- Hey. - Look at that.
- Oh, come on! - Jin-su's leg gave out.
Just throw that little brat!
- Go, Jin-su! - Go, Jin-su!
Please…
- What? - Nothing.
He's falling a bit short.
Nice!
That's my son! You rock!
That's my boy!
What was that just now?
Jin-su must be quite surprised.
Kwak Jin-su for the win!
Oh, no. Baek-du.
Good job, Baek-du.
- Was that a good job? - Of course it was.
Given their weight difference, he did an incredible job.
You would've won if you'd grabbed the satba more tightly, you fool.
Kim Baek-du has delivered a performance far beyond our expectations.
I was going to turn off the camera, but I'll keep it on for now.
Relax and focus. Okay?
Now, come on up, boys.
Listen to Geum-gang. Get the head start.
Keep it smooth.
Grab the satba tight.
Go, Baek-du!
You got this!
- Let's go! - Let's turn this around!
Let's go!
Baek-du!
Let's win this and go eat at my restaurant.
Grab the leg satbas.
Baek-du, satba!
Baek-du, pull your shoulders in.
- Shoulders. - Grab the waist satbas.
- Nice. - Jin-su!
Nice satba grip.
- Left knees up! - Nice shoulders.
Stand up.
Let's go.
Hold out with your core! Nice!
That was amazing.
Why are you showing your skills at an unofficial match after retirement?
Right, Father? Father, are you crying?
- Honey. - Yes?
Who do you think will win?
I'm not sure. They seem evenly matched.
Do you need water?
Jeez, what's gotten into Baek-du?
Tell me about it.
Jin-su seems to be in pretty good shape.
- See? You can do it. - What's going on?
Grab the satba properly. Okay?
Yu-gyeong, who do you think will win?
I'm not sure.
Come on. Then, who do you wish would win?
- Keep it in. - Very good.
Stay strong, okay?
It's called Outer Leg Back Satba Snatching.
It's a hard combination skill.
- I can't believe you used that. - Now, it's the last round.
- Getting the hang of it? - Come on up now.
- All right. - Keep the momentum.
Let's go for it once again!
Let's go!
You can do it.
Go, Jin-su! You got this, my boy!
Make some noise!
My gosh, I think my heart is going to explode.
I told him not to skip breakfast.
- Left knees up. - Now he's getting tired.
You got this!
Do it properly. Let's start over.
Good luck!
Mr. Kim Baek-du!
What?
What's happening?
Yes?
Could we talk for a moment?
Come over here.
- They're in the middle of a match. - Here.
Oh, you're a police officer.
Yes. Please come this way.
What are the cops doing here?
We need to check a few things with you
regarding the fatal accident that happened here recently.
Please follow us to the police station.
- The fatal accident? - Yes.
What are they doing here?
What are you going to do?
Just stay here.
Why would you take my boy?
- Explain what this is about. - Come on, don't be like this.
If you keep doing this, we'll have to arrest you
for obstruction of justice.
So please step aside for now.
Did you bring a warrant?
This is ridiculous.
It's not what you think it is.
It won't take long.
We just need to check a few things.
- This isn't obstruction. - Let's go.
- No. - Please come here.
- Hey. - No, wait.
Wait. Do I…
Do I go like this?
What on earth did Baek-du do wrong?
They said it isn't because he did something wrong.
They just wanted to check something.
Then they would've checked it there,
instead of taking him to the police station.
It's not a big deal.
You know there was an accident here recently, right?
Apparently, the dead guy and Baek-du ran into each other,
and it was captured on the CCTV by the coast.
- By the coast? - Yes.
See, Sarge? I told you there must be...
They're just asking him
a few questions about that, so don't worry about it.
They say it's not a big deal.
Man.
Maybe we should get him a lawyer.
Do any of you know a lawyer?
Come on. The only people anyone here knows are ssireum wrestlers.
To us, lawyers are like
- unicorns in fairy tales… - Right.
Wait. That reminds me.
My cousin's sister-in-law.
- She's a lawyer. - Wait!
About that day, he won't be of any help.
What are you saying?
Why? What is it?
What's wrong with him?
That day, Baek-du was drunk.
Mr. Kim Baek-du.
You know
that someone died recently
in your neighborhood, right?
Yes, I heard about it.
And according to our investigation,
you were the last person to see Choi Chil-seong on that day.
That's why you're here.
I was?
Yes.
Around 10:00 p.m. that night, you walked along Geosan Coastal Road, right?
We verified that from the CCTV footage.
Mr. Kim.
Depending on what you say now,
you can be in serious trouble.
So,
please tell me everything you remember about what happened that day.
I don't remember.
What?
But it happened only recently.
No, Detective.
That day, I drank so much and…
How much did you drink?
This much soju in a beer glass.
Come on.
That's not enough to have a blackout.
To me, that's a fatal dose.
Then, do you have any foggy memories that you recall?
Gosh, I really don't remember anything.
Give me a minute.
That day,
I drank alcohol,
and my friends yelled at me.
When I woke up, I was startled by my mom's face.
Then, the bruise on my waist.
- And… - A bruise?
Yes. I don't know how I got it,
but I had a small injury here. Let me just…
Could you have had a fight?
A fight?
Actually, we went over the CCTV footage thoroughly
and saw that you and Choi Chil-seong
had a scuffle on the road that night.
Why did you fight him?
I guess not yet.
What's taking so long?
Stop shaking your leg.
Captain Chu said she'd take care of it.
They'll come out once they're done.
What if he gets scared and says something stupid?
Yu-gyeong.
I've been wondering this for a while.
Do you...
That's…
What's she doing here?
It looks like
Kim Baek-du really doesn't remember anything.
What do we do?
Hey, Chu Mi-suk.
You must have a lot of free time.
Is there nothing to do in Seoul?
Why did you all have to come down here at the same time?
So tell me. Who is he?
We identified that man for you,
so shouldn't you at least tell us what's going on?
He's a suspect in the murder of Choi Chil-seong,
whom we've chased for years.
Choi Chil-seong?
Choi Chil-seong…
The name sounds familiar.
He's a match-fixer who set up
a gambling scheme worth billions of won, involving politicians.
What?
It's a confidential investigation,
so I couldn't give you a heads-up. I apologize.
And that man is the suspect?
Salute.
What the…
We're in the middle of an interrogation.
Well, it's just that…
There's someone insisting she has something to say.
- Say what? - Well…
She wants to say something about this case.
She says she thinks she saw that man on the day of the incident.
This won't do. Hey, Uk.
Can you try reaching out to that distant relative of your cousin
that you talked about?
- Right. - Okay.
Well, I guess
- it's finally my turn to step up. - Where is she?
She was sitting here earlier.
Right. Where did she go?
The restroom, maybe?
Are you asking me?
So why are you here again?
I saw Baek-du with the dead man that day.
On the coastal road.
Are you sure you saw them?
Why else would I come all the way here at this hour?
Then, why didn't you say anything until now?
You never said you saw the two of them together that day.
I didn't know it was that man
who was with Baek-du that night.
But after hearing what people were saying,
I came to realize that what I saw that night
may have something to do with why Baek-du was brought here.
So what is it that you saw?
That night, I was doing yoga on the rooftop of the building.
Now, count to ten.
Take a deep breath in.
One.
Now, exhale. Two.
Du-sik!
- Three. - Oh Du-sik!
- Four. - Du-sik!
And I heard some crazy man shouting so late at night.
Du-sik!
Oh Du-sik!
Du-sik!
- It was Baek-du. - Oh Du-sik!
He was obviously wasted.
Oh Du-sik!
He was staggering onto the road, unaware of a car approaching.
- He could've been hit at any time. - Car…
But he got lucky. He didn't die.
It seemed they had a bit of a scuffle, though.
Mr. Kim.
We even have a witness in our police station right now.
- A witness? - Yes.
According to the witness,
the two of you had a scuffle on the coastal road.
- But… - So I asked the witness,
"Why were they fighting?"
Then, the witness said you were trying
to give something to Choi Chil-seong.
I was?
- Give him what? - Money.
It was money.
Money?
Why would he try to give him money?
I don't know.
I just thought he was doing that because he was drunk.
By the way, you must have really good eyesight.
What?
You could see that it was money from the rooftop?
Of course I couldn't.
Then, how did you know it was money?
How could I not
when he was shouting out so loud about it?
Take it! You should take it!
What's going on?
- At the restaurant… - What is he trying to give him?
Here! 40,000 won!
Take it.
Aren't you going to take the 40,000 won?
Did he say "40,000 won"?
Mr. Kim.
What was that 40,000 won about?
What was it about that money
that you had to try so hard to give to him?
This is so frustrating.
Mr. Kim.
Could you please speak honestly now?
We even have a witness now, so it'll only make things worse if you don't tell us.
Also, I need to know the truth
to be able to help you. You know what I mean?
Yes. You're right.
Actually, I…
I did something.
Did what? Did you hit Choi?
No, I didn't hit him.
I did…
- I did something bad. - Come on.
What do you mean?
Could you speak loudly and clearly?
I stole the money!
I kept the change!
Here's your change, 40,000...
What? Where did he go?
Give me the plates. How many chopsticks?
What's wrong with him?
What am I supposed to do with this change?
I can't… He was supposed to take it.
It's actually been weighing on me.
Then, after a few days,
I heard in the neighborhood meeting that the man died.
On the day after the reunion at that.
He threw himself into the reservoir.
Hearing that story
made me feel so uncomfortable.
So I tried to give the money back many times.
But…
Ms. Lim isn't usually around the restaurant.
But since then, she's always been hanging out in the restaurant.
Believe me.
It was driving me crazy too.
Detective, I haven't spent that money yet.
Could you please let it slide?
Billions of won? Murder suspect?
Chu, we need to talk.
Baek-du's been released!
He's clear of all suspicions.
See? I knew he'd be freed.
We didn't have to stay here until so late.
We were all worried for nothing, after all.
- I know, right? - Well, I'm just glad nothing happened.
By the way, Baek-du sure is unlucky when it comes to ssireum.
He was on a roll for once, and look what happened. The cops suddenly took him.
So who's going to be the coach now?
Well…
What's there to think about?
Strictly speaking, Baek-du threw in the towel.
- Right. - But it's such a shame.
Baek-du actually seemed to be better than Jin-su earlier.
She's right. Baek-du almost beat Jin-su.
Whatever.
I don't know.
- Good night. - Bye.
Thank you.
Let's go home.
Gosh, what a day.
- Thank you. - Good night.
- All right. - Bye.
- Come on. Let's go. - What?
- Do you not hear me? - I do.
- Let's go! - Okay.
Hey.
Yes?
I'll bring the 40,000 won back tomorrow.
Come on. Don't be ridiculous.
If that's what you think,
I should also pay you for all the herbal tea I had at your place.
This is not the same as that.
Seriously.
Baek-du is just hilarious.
If he was going to steal some cash, he should've stolen big.
Why only 40,000 won?
My goodness. It's just so embarrassing.
I'm mortified to death. You know?
Come on. He's cute.
What are you saying?
This must be why everyone likes Baek-du.
That boy is just adorable.
I'm sure you don't know
that Jin-su was always outplayed by Baek-du growing up.
No way. If anyone, it would've been Baek-du.
Jin-su has always been good.
Oh, I don't know.
I could just see that.
So this time,
I almost hated Baek-du.
But he wouldn't let me. Baek-du is just too cute.
Why don't you be his mom then?
I'll pay you for it.
Jin-suk.
There's a poem that goes,
"Beautiful when looked at from afar. Beautiful when looked at briefly."
That's what Baek-du is like.
What the hell are you talking about?
Come on. I used to love literature.
Oh, whatever.
Ask me why I live…
There you go.
I will dance tonight
I will steal and steal big
He is coming
Mr. Kim Baek-du is walking out now.
Stop that.
- Congratulations on your release. - Stop.
You did a great job.
- Dad. - Hey.
Eat this.
- What's that? - Tofu.
- Put that away. - Hey.
And you. What are you filming this time?
"The moment Kim Baek-du got released."
When I start losing subscribers, I'll post this video with this clickbait title.
It'll be effective.
- What are you saying? - Don't touch the camera.
Wait. I think I got a nervous stomach.
I need to use the restroom.
Just poop at home.
No, I can't hold it for that long. I'll be quick.
- Hey, come on! - Mr. Kim Baek-du.
He can explode at any time now.
- Will you please stop? - Don't touch my camera.
Now, Kim Baek-du is walking into the police station of his own will.
Darn it.
Where is it?
Baek-du.
What?
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Wait. Are you the witness?
You owe me one.
You better pay me back later.
What…
Darn it.
MEN'S RESTROOM
Come on.
It's been so long.
Let's go grab some food together.
Maybe next time.
I need to head back now.
Man.
Mi-suk, you haven't changed. You're still so cold.
Mi-suk?
Chu Mi-suk…
That Mi-suk?
About what I said earlier,
please make sure to keep it secret.
She's Du-sik's mother-in-law.
Hey, did you eat the tofu?
KIM GEUM-GANG FIRST GEUMGANG-CLASS CHAMPIONSHIP
24-HOUR SCENE
EPISODE 157 THE PICKPOCKET'S TRUTH
We received reports
of rampant pickpocketing around the subway station
and went to investigate in hopes of gathering information.
Most pickpockets' eyes
are fixed on people's belongings
such as handbags, rather than people.
And they are often looking around.
They sometimes skip trains,
and only move when it's crowded.
That loser calls me by my name so rudely. Damn it.
That's not how you treat someone who saved you from getting stabbed.
We don't have much time. They won't be keeping this secret for long.
We've got to move fast.
Words can easily spread.
You can go now. I'll have a smoke before I go.
- Yes, Captain. - Yes, Captain.
You can go too.
- Wait, Captain. - Yes.
I have something to tell you.
You can go first.
When only one person leaves a group,
usually, the rest talk behind that person's back.
He must've told me to go so he could bad-mouth me.
How petty he is. He's just…
What's this now?
What's he doing there? He should be eating some tofu at home.
Hey!
Why are you so late? I've been waiting for you for a while.
Why? Do you have something to say to me?
Do you, by any chance…
No.
We need to talk.
So what is it?
Well…
It's about Yu-gyeong.
Oh Yu-gyeong? What about her?
You know something, don't you?
Me? What do I know?
The reason why Yu-gyeong came here.
Isn't that why you approved this investigation?
You know that this is a pretty reckless plan.
What are you talking about?
Anyway, what made you think so?
Did something happen?
No, nothing special. It's just that…
Things just looked a bit…
About Kim Baek-du, the guy who was here for the interview.
Yes. What about him?
I think there's something going on
between him and Yu-gyeong.
Gosh, why…
- Were you always this strong? - Come on.
- Let me… - Just come here.
Let go of me!
Jeez, you're really strong.
What is it?
Just tell me already.
I know this can be
all sudden and unexpected, but…
But what?
You know
we grew up together.
And we share a lot of memories. Right?
What are you trying to say?
Du-sik.
Are you…
You mean there's something romantic going on between them?
Seriously, she's dating a guy in this situation?
No, that's not it.
Jeez, you and Yu-gyeong are so similar.
What is it then?
I just feel like
they already knew each other.
They already knew each other?
Yes. So I'm just worried
that Kim Baek-du might find out what we're doing here.
No way.
From what I saw earlier, he seemed somewhat innocent.
True, but…
People like him can be pretty sharp.
They look slow on the outside,
but are actually deeply intuitive.
Are you…
a cop?
- You are, right? - What?
That face means you are.
You are a cop.
Wait, how did you…
How did you know?
Does it matter?
It does.
So, tell me. How did you find out?
Your mother-in-law.
She's that woman.
Mi-suk.
Your role model.
What? You're surprised?
I still have one more question to ask you.
Du-sik.
You…
You are…
You're not married, right?
What?
And when they're being intuitive,
it's impossible to fool them.
LIKE FLOWERS IN SAND
I, Kim Baek-du,
announce that I'm back on the Geosan-gun Ssireum Team
as of today!
Let's go!
Kim Baek-du!
Why did you come back if you don't even know the basics?
It hasn't even been that long since the reservoir incident.
I'm hearing weird rumors.
Rumor has it
that the coach asked Dong-seok to let Baek-du win.
Did you know about it?
Gosh, what on earth is happening in this town?
