ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, INCIDENTS AND RELIGIONS
DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS
Talk.
A woman who seemed to be in her 20s broke in.
I started to chase her with Vivian.
Vivian went ahead of me, so I was chasing her behind Vivian.
I'm telling the truth.
Vivian was faster than me. I couldn't help it.
-Go on. -And
a man wearing a helmet appeared out of the forest and…
Who are you?
I'm sorry.
So did you
get a look at the girl's face?
-No. -Not even the helmet guy?
I'm sorry.
It sounds like you failed to do what I'm paying you to do.
Yes, sir.
Yes, that's what I think, too.
Please spare me. I'm sorry.
A mysterious woman and a helmet guy.
Are they filming a movie or what?
EPISODE 6
-What are you doing? -You're back.
Were you digging for ginseng or something? Did you slip and fall?
-What are you doing? -What do you think?
-It's all good. Thank you. -Sure.
-Hey! -I told you I'd get rid of everything.
You said you'll move back to the rooftop.
When did I say that?
You did say that.
I did?
When we were eating chicken feet and soju.
-Gosh, that was-- -The rent is five million won.
Can you even afford it?
I can't believe this.
How could he lie about the rent?
Stop it. Don't rub it in. This is painful for me.
Wait! Sir!
Sir! Hold on.
Stop!
I told you to stop. Sir!
What is it?
What do you want?
Darn it.
That bastard.
Looks good.
Who is it?
It's me.
Who's "me"?
Han Son.
I'm a new tenant here.
Did you forget that you gave me the passcode when you left?
I've brought meat.
Don't eat cup noodles. Come out.
I thought you wanted me to forget him.
If you put everything back here,
I won't be able to forget him.
Don't force yourself.
If forgetting him is hard,
you can't, then.
I lingered
And cried in secret
Because of the past
I have buried deep inside
The lights go on
Under the empty sky
I yearningly call
My old lover’s name
You have soju, right?
I'm so confused right now.
I don't know what's going on
or what I'm doing right now.
What about you?
Do you think you're doing well?
You eventually get used to certain things in life.
But I don't want that to happen.
I don't want to get used to this world.
I met her.
That bitch, Jeong Bok-gi.
Things keep getting messier for some reason.
I need to get back at her,
but I'm all out of ideas.
She wants me to be her partner.
But the funny thing is,
I said yes.
Isn't that ridiculous?
Think about it.
I'll find Edward,
and you'll get to the bottom of Spy Lee's death.
One more thing.
Edward produced and directed the documentary on All Together Church.
I just played a supporting role. I just helped him out with my acting.
Guess what that means.
All the investment money your father raised went into Edward's pocket.
I'm intending to get that money back.
I get the feeling you'll feel the same way.
Try to picture it. We can catch Edward,
pin everything on him, and discard him like trash.
And we will split the profits reasonably like good people.
Doesn't the plot get you excited?
Let's go 50-50.
This is my story. I'll give you 20 percent.
Goodbye, then.
Okay. 30 percent.
-I want 40 percent. -Fine.
Where is that bastard?
Do you really think
Jeong-hwan was murdered?
If Kim Jae-wook really killed him…
But why?
Just because he found him?
Is that enough to kill a man?
-What is this? -A copy.
The file you got from the fake Jeong-hwan.
JEONG YOON-KYUNG
"Jeong Yoon-kyung, JBC news anchor."
"Faked her death"?
"Jeong Yoon-kyung has President Choi's secret ledger"?
POSSIBLY THE ONLY WITNESS TO HIS MURDER AND HAS HIS LEDGER
So he handed over her information
to President Choi's son, the president of UI.
So Jeong-hwan was ordered by GK to hand this over to me.
And you handed this over to UI, right?
Then, those who came to the hotel to take Bok-gi might've been sent by UI
to find the ledger, not by Kim Jae-wook.
Come on, say something. You're frustrating me.
UI never
got their hands on that file.
What are you talking about?
GK retrieved it.
Uncle.
I'm not a kid anymore.
I never treated you as such.
That makes no sense. Why would GK take it back?
Joo-eun, I don't like where this is going.
Let's stop here.
If you don't,
you might end up like Lee Jeong-hwan.
PC GRAVEYARD
According to Ms. Ko Hye-won, they were like brothers.
I hope we can get a lead from him.
Hopefully.
I don't think he's here.
Mr. Choi Yoon-seok?
Are you in there?
I'm Detective Kim Myung-hyun from Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.
Mr. Choi Yoon-seok?
-Are you in there? -It's the police.
We're with the police. You're Choi Yoon-seok, right?
Choi Yoon-seok!
Call the transportation division for help.
It's probably forged, but run the license plate.
Okay.
Seoul, Jongno, KA 9952.
This is Detective Kang Soo-jin from Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.
I need you to run a license plate.
Seoul, Jongno, KA 9952.
It's "Seoul, Jongno, KA 9952."
Yes, thank you.
It was Choi Yoon-seok, right?
Probably.
Why did he run away?
I'm not sure.
Do you think he's related to Lee Jeong-hwan's death?
He does look suspicious.
He ran away so desperately.
Do you have Choi Yoon-seok's profile?
Yes.
Let's take a look at it.
PERSONAL INFORMATION CHOI YOON-SEOK
Should we take this and go through it?
We'll get in trouble if we do that without a warrant.
And that's been degaussed anyway.
Degaussed?
It's becoming more mysterious.
Gosh.
Don't kill me! Please!
I'm sorry!
Spare me! I'm sorry!
What? Who are you?
Jeong-hwan?
-Jeong-hwan! -Don't move!
Don't come near me.
Who are you?
I'm Yoon-seok.
You…
I clearly saw you…
That was my brother.
What?
So,
the person I saw
wasn't you,
but it was your brother Min-seok?
Yes.
You…
Why didn't you tell me you had a twin?
Do I need to tell people that?
I just let them find out naturally.
I'm glad.
Yoon-seok, I'm glad you're alive.
But…
my brother died.
What are you saying?
What you just said means that Jeong-hwan wasn't killed in an accident.
That's what you think too, isn't it?
What?
Are you keeping quiet because it's Jeong-hwan?
Because he was my fiancé?
Fine.
I'll do it alone.
An accident or not,
there's nothing we can do or find out.
A conglomerate is involved.
We can't do anything.
Even if we manage to, no one's going to know about it.
-Let's drop it. -No.
I need to find out what happened to him.
The Lee Jeong-hwan you knew never existed.
It was all a dream that he lured you with.
So from the beginning, this documentary
was a flop.
You were his target.
Why?
Why me?
What could he have gotten from me?
Some jewelry and 50 million won?
That doesn't make sense.
Would you film a documentary like this?
With me?
I would.
Because it's you.
I'm sorry, Min-seok.
You don't need a condom, right?
It's not like that.
What are you going to do?
I'm leaving the country.
Don't ask where I'm going
because I won't tell you.
Okay. Do as you please.
What about you?
You should leave, too. You can go anywhere with your skills.
It's because of this, right?
Don't you do anything with this.
You'll get killed.
Like Min-seok.
Anyway, where did you get this?
It looked like a secret ledger.
I recognize the names on that--
Wait.
Everyone in Korea would, too.
Where did you get this?
You don't want to know.
No, I need to know
who killed my brother.
You said you were going to leave.
-Just leave. -I will.
I will, but I need to know.
You know who did it.
Min-seok died instead of me because of this!
Yoon-seok.
I'm really sorry.
But I really don't know.
Are you doing this for me?
Because you think I'd try to get back at them?
No. You know me. I'm too timid to do that.
I'm going to leave right away. But I want to know,
so I can pray my heart out
for them to die as soon as possible.
Jeong-hwan!
Yoon-seok.
I'm being honest.
I really don't know
why I ended up like this
and who they are.
I really don't know anything.
"The current government is old-fashioned and is unwilling to change.
The conservatives are always the same."
How long will we put up with that?
I'll reform. I'll innovate.
If not me, Yoo Byung-jun, nobody else can do it!
So in March, I'll win back the government no matter what.
-Yoo Byung-jun! -Yoo Byung-jun!
-Yoo Byung-jun! -Conservative Yoo Byung-jun!
-Yoo Byung-jun! -Yoo Byung-jun!
You used to work at GK Vision Room, right?
That's a long time ago.
It's been more than ten years.
Were you there
when UI's President Choi died?
UI's President Choi…
Oh, the one who made a bad choice.
That was
not a suicide, was it?
I don't know.
I just ran errands for my superiors.
There is a rumor
that UI is digging into the case again.
The mysterious death of the former president,
revenge, the content of the ledger, and so on.
They have more than enough reasons to do so.
So…
is there a way
to look into it using your connections?
It would be helpful for my boss.
I'll do my best.
Thank you.
Who are you?
Hey! Who are you?
Hey!
Hey, the car key! Bring the car key!
The helmet…
Who is that bastard?
It must be money
in that suitcase, right?
It must be.
Then, is Kim Jae-wook
trying to get into politics?
NEW TEXT MESSAGE
Yes. I knew you'd still be alive.
Thank you.
So, when will you return?
How can I return when I'm dead?
First,
I'll be born again.
Yes, of course.
Sir.
Please help me.
Could you find out
why I had to die?
Please.
Shouldn't you know best since it was you who died?
I need you to give me something to work with
so I can connect the dots. Don't you agree?
Yes, sir.
I'll
talk to you in person soon.
All right. Got it.
Thank you.
What happened to Lee Jeong-hwan's case?
It's assigned to Violent Crimes Team 3. They're trying to get to the truth.
And of course, I've erased all records related to GK.
It's clean.
Conclude it as an accidental death.
Pardon?
They haven't found out the truth.
Do you actually want them to find out the truth?
Forget it.
Rumors will start if this drags on,
and rumors eventually turn into facts.
The police may not be competent enough,
but it's not wise to give them any information.
Especially for our agents undercover.
Being in the spotlight won't be good for them.
Understood, sir.
We'll be
the ones who'll find out the truth. Got it?
Yes, sir.
Jeong-hwan's dead?
Really?
SEOUL METROPOLITAN POLICE AGENCY
JEONG DAE-SANG CHIEF OF THE CRIMINAL DIVISION
PUBLIC SERVICE CENTER
Hello?
I'd like to deliver a new complaint.
Yes, I'm listening.
Recently, there was a car accident.
On the national highway in Gyeonggi Province?
That's correct.
The case needs to be settled for the road to reopen.
The locals are inconvenienced.
Right. I understand.
Goodbye, then.
Thank you for calling.
So, Choi Yoon-seok is involved in Lee Jeong-hwan's death?
Correct.
And that's why he ran away?
Who knows?
How could you even say that?
CHIEF JEONG DAE-SANG
Hello, sir.
Right now?
Yes, sir.
Damn it. This case was a dead end to begin with.
Good work. Treat the boys to some meat.
Thank you, sir.
Okay. You may leave.
But are you sure we can just close this?
Did you find anything? You didn't.
We have so many cases to work on. You're wasting your time.
Am I wrong?
That's true.
You don't know either, do you?
My superior ordered me to do it, so I don't know what I was delivering.
I even signed a confidentiality agreement.
Lee Jeong-hwan…
You knew what's in the file, didn't you?
That's why you helped Jeong Bok-gi at the hotel.
Why did he help her, though?
It can't be…
Thanks to you, I got to hike today
although I prefer oceans to mountains.
Did you really think we'd never be able to find you
if you moved to the top of a mountain?
I told you I'll pay you back.
How are you so confident when you owe us money?
But then again, it's admirable.
From now on, as the creditor,
I'll show you my boxing and jujitsu skills that I've been honing.
As the debtor,
you just need to endure the pain.
That's all you need to do.
Grab her.
Are you okay?
God, you useless idiots.
Joo-eun, I didn't know you were quite the rascal.
Where did you learn to be so rough?
You're making this very interesting and exciting.
What's going on?
Did you already get yourself a new man?
Jeong-hwan died not too long ago.
Gosh, you must be so popular. It's great.
You're quite impressive.
By the way, you seem familiar…
Mr. Han Son.
Excuse me. I'm sorry.
-What's going on? -Nothing--
-Not you. -Yes, sir.
It's my business. I'll take care of it.
No, don't.
-No, don't do that. -You little…
-How dare you kick my balls? -You rude bastards!
No!
The Civil Code says
that the heritor has the right to forgo their inheritance.
Correct?
Yes, sir.
As of this moment, Cha Joo-eun will forgo Lee Jeong-hwan's inheritance.
Got that?
Yes. Yes, I understand.
Drink up.
-I'm leaving. -Spit it out.
Yes, sir.
You need to drive.
I have a Class Two driver's license.
Yes, sir.
I have a question.
Yes, ma'am. Feel free to ask any questions, please.
What kind of person was Jeong-hwan?
Well, he was a beast.
The first time I met him was in middle school.
Gosh, all he did was study. Literally.
So he was always the top student.
But on top of that, he was extremely athletic.
He was really unbelievable. Gosh.
He was just perfect.
A conglomerate even paid for his college tuitions.
-A conglomerate? -Yes.
"Technolagy."
He was like that.
Please go to Platts Hotel.
Hotel? Why all of a sudden?
I'm not that easy.
But fine, then. The weather's nice. Let's go.
What is it this time?
Do you have President Choi's secret ledger?
-No. -Then who?
I don't know how you found out about that,
but it'd be better for you if you just forget about it.
Spy Lee might've been killed because of the ledger.
What are you on about?
You see, I told Spy Lee
that Edward had the ledger.
If Spy Lee had gotten greedy
and tried to take the ledger from him…
So you're saying
that Jae-wook killed him because of that?
Doesn't that make the most sense?
That's what I think.
Now, aren't you dying to tell me
where that son of a bitch is?
ACADEMIC BACKGROUND
He was the top student throughout high school and went to Hankuk University.
Why did he run a detective agency?
What? Are you looking down on detective agencies?
You just belittled them.
You're awfully ethical for a cop.
You should look at the world as it is. Don't you think?
Are you a politician?
Belittle, my foot.
Does a snack bar sell prime beef?
What? You just belittled--
Good job.
Sir, I'm sorry.
I'll make sure to find a lead, so cheer up.
Let's have a team dinner.
It's been concluded that it was an accidental death.
The chief said good work.
What's with you?
Isn't it funny?
Goodness.
We haven't come here for so long.
-I'm sorry. We've been busy. -That's okay.
-Say hi. -Hello.
Welcome.
Cheers.
By the way, why was the case closed out of the blue?
What did the chief say?
Nothing much.
Come on. It's only natural.
We shouldn't have investigated it from the get-go.
Still, I smelled something fishy.
What about the smell of burnt meat?
Flip them over.
It must be really hot. It's already cooked.
PORK RIBS APLENTY
I'm fine. You can leave now.
It's okay. You can go eat. I'll wait in the car.
I said I'm fine.
If he finds out, I'll be in trouble. I'll take you home safely.
Then come inside and have some food.
Isn't that Cha Joo-eun?
What?
Is she here alone?
Should we tell her that the case has been closed now?
What should we do?
Why do you look so down?
Because I have a lot on my mind.
Do you want a drink?
I'll get it myself.
Just get me some food.
Meat?
That's a bit too much.
They seem to know each other.
I think so.
But how do they know each other?
Was Chief Yang in charge of her fraud case?
No, she wasn't.
What is that?
What are you doing?
Do you mind if I join you?
Suit yourself.
Here.
I was going to call you tomorrow.
What for?
Well…
Mr. Lee Jeong-hwan's case has been closed.
Hold on.
Didn't you say there was something odd about this case?
This is unbelievable.
Then why did he go all the way there on his wedding day and had an accident--
You also said
that it didn't feel natural. That there was something off about the case.
There needs to be new evidence to argue that it wasn't just an accident…
We couldn't continue the investigation solely based on our speculation.
So…
You've talked to everyone about the case and even interrogated
and suspected me.
You made me feel like shit.
But in the end, you found nothing?
You should eat something.
What if
he was murdered?
Did you find out something new?
The secret ledger… A few years ago…
No, more than a decade ago…
The secret ledger?
-No, forget it. -If there's anything you want--
No, there isn't.
Do you guys know each other?
Yes, a little. Goodbye, then.
In any case, I'm sorry.
What was that?
He's in charge of Jeong-hwan's case.
Really? So Captain Lee's team is in charge of it.
Do you know him?
Yes, we used to work together.
What a small world.
You're right.
But why is the Violent Crimes Team in charge of the case?
The accident occurred in Gyeonggi Province.
Did you even love me?
Jeong-hwan.
Are you really dead?
Consider me
dead, Joo-eun.
That's the only way you'll be safe.
CONCERNS DUE TO FOREST FIRE
What's this?
Only two people died?
Gosh.
That's not a forest fire. It's more like a campfire.
An entire town should have been burnt to dust at the least
so that the common people blame the king.
That way, the king would reflect on himself.
Don't you think so?
Pardon?
Yes, sir.
In that sense, there's no one as good as Arsonist Kim.
You startled me.
It's been a while, sir.
This is a surprise.
It's like you.
I'm living a different life now.
Please be understanding.
Sure.
Of course, I will.
So?
Did you find anything?
I believe it was UI's doing.
UI?
Why would they do that?
The person who helped Jeong Yoon-kyung
was me.
Didn't I tell you not to get involved with her?
I'm sorry, sir. I couldn't ignore the urge to help her.
So you were her prince charming?
Let's see…
UI was enraged
that you, a mere private detective, had helped her for no specific reason,
so they targeted you?
I believe so.
Then you brought this upon yourself.
How could I help you this time around?
UI would have found out that I was a part of the Vision Room.
Despite that, they attacked me.
I believe that's the same as attacking GK itself.
Could you look into UI, sir?
So you think they did this despite knowing who you were?
Sure, I'll look into it.
Thank you, sir.
By the way,
I was wondering if you knew what Kim Jae-wook is up to.
Is it because he was your mentor?
Are you still concerned about him even in this state?
I heard there was nothing special.
Don't worry about it.
-Yes, sir. -I'll treat you well today, sir.
All right, then.
-This is a famous place. -Really?
They must have tasty food.
-They do. -I'm looking forward to it.
This way.
-Let's go. -Let's go.
Also…
PC GRAVEYARD
You suspect UI
but you attached a tracker to Mr. Kim's vehicle.
How am I supposed to interpret this?
I don't know.
But as of now, I can't trust anyone.
They're all suspicious.
You're right.
I was surprised to find out that you worked for a conglomerate.
But it's even more shocking that they were monitoring people's private lives.
How is that possible? It's so creepy.
It must have been tough for you.
Jeong-hwan, Mr. Kim isn't taking his usual route.
This hotel is run using an intranet, so we can't hack into it.
So…
RESTRICTED AREA
Hello.
I'm from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency.
Hello, how may I help you?
It's nothing serious.
I received a report, so I'm here to check.
Someone was pickpocketed in the hotel lobby yesterday.
May I check the CCTV footage?
Well, sure.
-What's wrong? -What are you doing?
I have no time to go through everything here.
Please move it here. I'll take it to the station.
I can't do that. It's a matter of privacy for our clients.
Please help me out.
It's because I don't have the time.
Bring a warrant, then.
-Come on. -What are you doing?
-Let me go. -It takes a minute
-to infiltrate their network. -You're not a cop, are you?
Come on.
You're so inflexible.
I'm working really hard to catch criminals.
How could you treat me like this?
Then bring a warrant.
-Wait! Hold on! -Get out.
-Get out. -Fine, I'll go. Give that back.
Here. Take it and leave.
Bring a warrant.
Please cooperate with me next time when I bring my warrant.
Okay, so get out.
Gosh.
How did it go?
What's next?
Nothing.
What?
There isn't a next step.
Also…
The 20th floor is under construction.
VVIP room.
Play it from 30 minutes ago.
He wouldn't have
gone there by himself.
I'm certain he went there to meet someone.
Why don't you go up there yourself?
Turn left and go straight, and you'll see a door.
"We report nothing but the truth." I'm Joo Sang-ho of Fact News.
Let me just make your acquaintance for today.
Who could it be?
Who do you have in mind?
I brought you here so you can check for yourself.
Didn't you put a lot of effort into her?
It's a pity.
A suicide for her?
Anything for me?
I saved your life, you know.
It's a gift from Jeong-hwan.
I'll get to the bottom of this.
Adios.
