[The people, organizations, names, and issues in this story are fictional.]
Is it possible to change a fate that's already been set?
Our fate is always standing still and watching over us.
Through all the many accidental coincidences
it laughs at us because we don't even realize what's going on.
Even now, the wheels of fate keep turning and squeaking.
The important thing is...
where will it stop?
[Episode 13]
Does Yoon Sung Soo have any family?
I believe his wife passed away several years ago.
He does have a son.
I guess he's very busy because he doesn't come by at all lately.
We're with the police.
I know you must be traumatized, but we'd like to ask you a few questions.
Yoon Sung Soo?
Well, what's the last thing that you remember?
You know Prosecutor Min Ji Soo, don't you?
You've met Prosecutor Min Ji Soo, haven't you?
We found your business card in her files.
Please tell us what you spoke to her about.
Then do you know Prosecutor Park Moon Ki?
If Park Moon Ki is involved, as I believe...
it will have something to do with the information that you know.
Help us catch those people.
I'm asking you, please.
- Move. - What?
Yoon Sung Soo, say something.
- Detective Kang. - Have you met Ji Soo?
- Tell me that, at least. - Detective Kang, stop.
Why was your name in Ji Soo's files?
What do you know?
Tell me what it is that you know right now!
- Tell me! - That's enough.
Detective Kang!
Hey, you. Why aren't you working?
Your phone will end up with a hole in it if you stare at it any longer.
Mom, do you have to open the store when your arm's not well?
Still, I can't make my regulars come here for nothing.
Wow.
Mom, you know that I'm taking a break from work, right?
The most joyful thing in the world is taking a break after some labor.
Gosh, seriously.
I'll treat you to chicken and beer after we're done.
- Let's clean. - Okay.
If you're going to lecture me, let's assume that I've heard it.
It's true that I overreacted earlier.
It wasn't just about anyone, it was about Prosecutor Min.
I completely understand.
Have you ever heard of Footsteps?
Footsteps? Who is that?
I've never told anyone about this.
After my daughter died, I tried to find the person who killed her.
I was lost for several years.
Then I found him.
If I had caught him before he took his own life
what would have happened?
Would I have forgiven him?
Or would I have killed him?
I think it's a question I'll never be able to answer.
But, the important thing is...
It's been over a decade since he died.
But, I'm still chasing him.
That's what hatred is.
Chief.
The truth is, Footsteps is...
someone who must walk forever chasing after someone he can never catch.
I am talking about myself.
Don't become like me.
Not even if it's for Prosecutor Min Ji Soo.
That prosecutor...
I met her six months ago.
That prosecutor knows everything that I know.
That is all that I can tell you.
Prosecutor Min is dead.
So, that's what happened in the end...
Then... I can no longer talk to you.
- Yoon Sung Soo! - I should have died.
You should have died? What do you mean by that?
I cannot be alive.
I should have died.
Calm down.
Do you recognize any of these drawings?
Please just look at these for me.
Oh, the guitar.
Where did you draw this?
Have you seen this guitar before?
This signature here...
This guitar belongs to my Jin Soo.
This probably happened to me because of the report that I wrote.
Report? What kind of report?
Bring my son to me.
I need to make sure Jin Soo is safe.
Then I will tell you everything.
Thank you. Come again.
What's with you? Why didn't you answer your phone?
Oh, this? It hasn't been working well for a few days.
It's totally broken now.
You work so many part-time jobs.
It's not that expensive these days. Just get a new one.
I have to think of my food and other living expenses.
I have to pay my dad's hospital fees too.
I barely have enough.
- Isn't it hard? - Of course, it is.
It's hard, but I'm hanging on by staying optimistic.
Optimistic, about what?
For example, if my dad hadn't gotten into that accident
I wouldn't have been working in the convenience store.
Then I wouldn't have met you.
I should be thankful that I had a chance to meet you.
I don't think it was just chance that we met.
I think there must be some reason.
I better go to my cafe job.
I'll drop by your place when I'm done. Bye.
I'll come too.
Why? Do you want to see me sing?
No, I'm going to see the boss.
The customer is unable to take this call...
What should I do? He's not picking up.
Why don't I go to his school?
I can find out something from the school office.
- Okay, I'll go with you. - Chief Moon.
Since Lieutenant Oh isn't around, someone has to give us data support.
You'll be better at it than me.
But, I'm the safest person according to these sketches.
If someone needs to go out into the field, it should be someone who is safe.
I think I should go instead of you, Chief Moon.
- What about me? - Huh?
Ah, Detective Kang...
I was just kidding. You don't need to look so surprised.
Chief Moon, let me do this just once.
Listen to me this time.
Goodness.
I feel as if I'm being ordered around.
Let's just do it this way. Nothing wrong with being careful.
Ah, I can't disregard Sergeant Yoo's sketches.
I'll go along with what you say this time.
Be careful, everyone.
Contact me right away if there are any issues.
- Okay. - All right.
Sergeant Yoo.
Thank you.
Hello, Boss.
You're here, Jin Soo.
You're here too, Sun Young.
There's some time left before the concert, so go relax somewhere.
Let's go.
Young Shim, prepare two iced coffees.
Okay. Who are they?
That's Yoon Jin Soo. He wants to be a singer.
He works here performing his songs.
Oh, if you like him, then he must sing well.
You have no idea.
Some people drive here for two hours just to hear him sing.
Really? Wow.
It's nice to be that young.
It's nice to be your age too.
So, don't be that way and just find someone...
Young Shim!
What happened?
I just heard from Sergeant Kim Do Jin.
He found the location of his target.
He's on his way to pick up the target.
Is that right?
Do you have a message for him?
He probably knows one of my sister's co-workers, Oh Young Shim.
Kim Do Jin may run into Lieutenant Oh Young Shim today.
If that is the case and it happens
tell him to try and finish the job without hurting her.
- Did you have a vision? - Yes.
This may be presumptuous of me, but...
why do you worry about those people so much?
I'll be honest with you.
If something happens to Lieutenant Oh, my sister will be very hurt.
I don't want to see my sister cry.
I understand.
I will deliver your message.
Thank you. I will see you at the base camp.
All right. I will head there now.
Can I please have some of your time?
It seems like you know who I am.
Which department are you from?
Park Moon Ki sent us.
Come with us.
I need to make one phone call first.
Sorry, but that will be a problem.
What?
We were ordered to bring you without allowing you to contact anyone.
Here is your coffee.
Thank you.
You two haven't been dating long, have you?
Let me guess... about 100 days?
How did you know?
You still have hearts in your eyes, so I guessed it would be about that long.
I guess it was obvious.
It's nice to see. It's lovely.
- Have fun. - Thank you.
Excuse me, sorry.
Can I see your guitar?
Yes, sure.
This signature.
It's here.
Hey, Shi Hyun. It's me.
What's going on?
You know the guitar from the sketch?
I just saw it.
Where?
A part-time employee at my mom's cafe had it.
His name is...
Yoon Jin Soo.
Do you know anything?
He is probably Yoon Sung Soo's son.
Yoon Sung Soo?
You know, the coma patient.
He said he would tell us what he knows only if we bring him his son.
He actually woke up?
Hey, tell me the details.
Yes, it's me.
This guy, Yoo Shi Joon...
will have lots to tell me.
I'll call you back in one hour.
I don't recognize these faces.
They don't look like prosecutors.
Chief Jang.
Do you have anything you want to tell me?
What are you referring to?
I believed that you wouldn't be hiding anything from me.
Chief Jang, what's your relationship with Shi Joon?
I will explain it.
Before you do, you'd better speak carefully.
There's a man, Manager Choi.
He's known for being good at taking care of these things.
He is with Shi Joon right now.
Once he catches someone, no matter how tough the person is
it's only a matter of time before they tell him everything they know.
If what you say...
differs from what Manager Choi tells me...
I think I will be very angry.
I'll ask you once more.
How long have you and Shi Joon been such good friends?
You probably remember the slush fund case
involving Chairman Kim of Youngshin Group.
You and Prosecutor Yoo Shi Joon had a special task force set up.
And?
People working for Chairman Kim
paid Prosecutor Yoo with bribe money and I have evidence of that.
Shi Joon?
He took money from Youngshin Group?
It was an opportunity for me to have a star prosecutor under my control.
I couldn't lose that kind of opportunity.
That's a good explanation.
I will be hearing from Manager Choi soon.
We can relax and wait until then.
All right. Okay.
Anyway, it's great that he woke up.
I guess miracles aren't so uncommon.
Yes, Lieutenant Oh. Just bring him to the hospital.
Okay, I will.
- Hey. - What is it?
It's Kim Do Jin.
Kim Do Jin is here.
What?
Shi Hyun, this is no coincidence.
Kim Do Jin is here for him.
Do you think you can leave with those kids?
I don't think it'll be easy.
Then stay hidden until we get there. We'll be right there.
Mom!
Did you just see a ghost?
- Why do you look that way? - Mom.
Go stay in the guest house in the town. I'll take the kids.
- What are you talking about? - Don't ask questions.
Please, Mom. Hurry up and go.
I'm police.
You know Yoon Sung Soo, don't you?
You know my father?
You father woke up a little while ago.
Jin Soo, you see that man coming up?
That man is coming here to get you.
Why is he coming for me?
I don't know either.
But, everyone who gets involved with him is now dead.
We don't have time. Hurry, hurry, Jin Soo.
Hurry up.
Be careful.
Hurry and be careful.
Watch your step.
If you wait just a little bit, your son will be here.
Okay.
There's one thing I didn't tell you.
That day, on the roof...
there was someone else there.
I wasn't trying to commit suicide.
If I didn't jump...
He threatened to kill my son.
Who was it?
I don't know.
However...
it wasn't just one person who threatened me.
It was some great power.
Since that day I submitted my report...
They started to squeeze me.
Those people who started to appear...
They really were people...
who could easily kill my son.
Just because they had power...
How could they do this to a fellow human being?
Isn't this... isn't this just wrong?
We're here. Where are you?
If you look behind my mom's cafe, there a old, closed building.
- I'll go there for now. - Okay.
Let's go.
Hey, you.
Do you realize that I'm a prosecutor of this country?
Who, exactly, are you?
I told you. I'm a prosecutor.
A prosecutor of this nation, you say.
Then what do you think I do?
I'm a specialist.
I follow people like you.
I promise you this.
You will tell me everything you know within one hour.
This way.
Over here.
This way.
Here.
I'm okay, so go ahead without me.
Go, Jin Soo.
Lieutenant Oh!
Come on.
Not this way.
Let's go, let's go.
Let's go that way.
Be careful.
The girl, come out to the side.
Jin Soo.
It's okay. Let's just do what he says.
Put on the handcuffs.
Please don't hurt Sun Young.
I won't say it twice. Put on the handcuffs.
- Lieutenant Oh. - Lieutenant Oh!
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
I'm okay. Go find the kids quickly.
They went that way.
Stay here with Lieutenant Oh.
Be careful.
Are you all right?
Scream for help.
What?
Scream for help as loud as you can.
Help me.
Louder.
Help... help me.
- Help me! - Louder!
Help me! Help me!
Help me!
Help me.
Yoon Jin Soo, is that you?
Yes, that's me.
That man took Sun Young.
You're already back from vacation?
Yes, I am.
It wasn't 4 nights and 5 days, more like 4.5 seconds.
Did something happen while I was away?
The mood around here is very hectic.
You know patient Yoon Sung Soo in Room 206?
The one who was in a coma for six months?
What about him?
Yes, I don't think it was the son. He was after Choi Sun Young.
The girl? For what reason?
I don't know that yet.
For now, I'll head to the hospital with Yoon Sung Soo's son.
They found your son.
They are coming with him now.
Thank you.
Yes.
You wanted to know if there were any changes to Yoon Sung Soo.
The patient is awake.
This is called hyoscine pentothal.
It's a psychotropic drug used to induce pain.
It looks very clean.
However, it's not like that at all for the one who endures it.
We could go an easier route.
What do you think?
I thought so.
Yoon Sung Soo, have some water.
Are you feeling better?
Yes.
But, Detective...
how come you're not asking me anything about what I know?
You were willing to die for the sake of your son.
I don't know how to force someone like that to talk.
I have...
a copy of that report I submitted.
What was the report about?
You'll know once you see it.
However...
it may be too late now.
Too late for what?
Cold sale.
Cold sale?
[Baesung University, Korean Literature Professor Im Byung Hoon]
Get going now.
I will stay with you until your son comes.
We have already lost too much time.
You may still be able to stop it.
All right.
Yoon Sung Soo told me where the files are.
They are files regarding a cold sale.
A cold sale?
A friend of his from college is a professor at Baesung University.
He left a copy of the report with him.
All right, then we will...
No, no. It's faster for me to go than you.
Take Yoon Jin Soo to the hospital. His father is waiting for him.
Also, my battery is almost dead, so I can't contact you.
I'll call later.
They just changed it recently.
The sodium levels in your blood were a bit high.
So, we're changing it to something with lower sodium.
I see. Thank you.
It is the worst feeling ever.
It must feel like all your blood vessels are on fire.
Back then...
were you laughing like that too?
What?
When you were killing my father
were you laughing like that?
That's what I asked you.
How did you know that?
You refuse to answer?
Then I'll ask you another question.
You knew that Park Moon Ki and I were involved in your father's death.
So, why are you with Jang Tae Joon? He is helping Park Moon Ki.
Because Park Moon Ki is not the head.
If you want to catch a monster, cutting off the legs and arms aren't enough.
You have to cut off the head.
You're going to cut off the head?
That's right. I'm going to take out the Elder.
How absurd.
No, I should say that you're crazy.
A mere prosecutor is going to take out the Elder?
I don't think I even need permission from the higher ups.
I'll just get rid you.
Jang Tae Joon will soon follow.
Wait.
I suppose you regret things.
My father's investigation notes are over there.
Inside...
there was a numerical code, a simple code.
It's from "The Little Prince."
My dad read it to me a lot when I was younger.
I knew from the quote on the first page
that he was referring to "The Little Prince."
The first number was the book's page number.
The second number was the line on that page.
The third number was the character on that line.
[Hanseong Daily Archives Storage. G-48.]
Hanseong Daily Archives Storage.
The code was for the G-48 cabinet.
[G-48]
They were...
files about two people who took care of those who got in the way of the Elder.
One person used accidents, fake suicides, or theft and murder to get rid of people.
Meanwhile, the other would use his power in the government to smooth it over.
They were...
files regarding you and Park Moon Ki.
And?
What's your reason for telling me this story?
In order to buy time.
Time?
What does buying time change?
I'll show you now what changed.
It would be best if you checked that.
For both our sakes.
[My Princess]
You must've thought that you were chasing me.
Actually, I set a trap and I was waiting for you.
I used the files my father left me to find out your real identity.
And in the end, I found your weakness too.
I just heard from Sergeant Kim Do Jin.
He found the location of his target.
He's on his way to pick up the target.
The girl, come out to the side.
Jin Soo.
He took Sun Young.
I will shoot you in the knee.
It's completely different than the pain you felt before.
Your kneecap will be shattered.
You will live in pain forever.
Where is Sun Young? Where is my daughter!
Try it.
But, I'll be getting a call in one minute.
If I don't pick up that call...
Or if the person who calls thinks I'm under duress during that call...
you will never see that child.
You punk.
You daughter will suffer the slowest, most painful death.
And she will hear it while she dies.
She'll find out what kind of man her father is
and why she's dying in that way.
Do you think it's so easy to kill a person?
Do you think I can't do it?
I asked you if you think I can't do it?
Will you remain a loyal dog to the Elder?
Will you be a good dad to Sun Young?
It's time to choose.
Where's the other one?
What are you talking about?
Why are you being like that?
You have insurance in case this happens.
Isn't that a given for people like you?
Yes, good work.
Yes, you can keep her alive.
Just for now.
If you lay one finger on my daughter...
Did you hear that?
Hear what?
From over there just now.
It sounded like an explosion.
Really? I didn't hear anything.
What is it that you want?
Cooperation.
Complete and obedient cooperation.
Then will I be able to keep my life?
I will let your daughter live. I promise you that.
The Elder's identity...
I don't know that either.
I used to get my orders from Chairwoman Jo Min Sook's father.
Now that he passed away
I get my orders from Chairwoman Jo Min Sook.
I have never met the Elder myself.
Your loyalty means more to you than your daughter's life?
Please believe me.
No one's seen the Elder.
Sure, I'll believe you.
Besides Jo Min Sook and Park Moon Ki, you must've done work for others.
Don't leave anyone out. Write all the names here.
Dad...
There are people from every field.
I expected as much, but I didn't think it was this bad.
Do you realize now how dangerous your fight is?
You are like a piece of dust on their shoulder.
Once they blow you off, you will just fly in the wind.
Just acknowledge it.
This world can't be turned right-side up.
There is a status you have that you are born into.
Those people that you served...
You seem to be under some false notion that they have some great talent.
The people that you serve aren't special at all.
They don't have basics that a human should have
like a conscience, compassion, sympathy, or consideration.
They don't have these things.
That's why they can be so cruel to people.
That must've looked great to you.
Wait and see.
Those powerful people you believed in so much
I'll show you how cowardly and weak they really are.
Oh, there's one last thing you need to do for me.
This is Manager Choi.
Yes, did you find out anything?
Yoo Shi Joon was on the same side as Jang Tae Joon.
The same side?
It seems Jang Tae Joon has something he's holding over Yoo Shi Joon.
It's something regarding bribery.
Chief Jang Tae Joon has all of the evidence.
- Really? - If you have no other orders...
I will end things here.
Put Prosecutor Yoo on the phone.
Yes, I'm on the phone.
Prosecutor Yoo.
You acted so clean in front of me.
But, you were doing something else behind my back?
I'm very ashamed.
No, once you get your hands on rice cakes
you can end up with some crumbs on your hands.
Shi Joon.
In my opinion...
I think we could become closer in the future.
All right.
Soon, let's all have a meal with Chief Jang.
Let's do that.
I feel I was overly suspicious.
But, you understand that I had to be, don't you?
In these times...
it is good to be careful.
In fact, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about it earlier.
I have nothing to give you, Chief Jang.
Instead, I will give you good news.
I was contacted by Chairwoman Jo Min Sook from Chunsan Law Firm.
I will finally be meeting the Elder this Saturday.
This Saturday?
Yes, that's in five days... five days.
Now, I will really be meeting the Elder.
What will you do now?
I'll keep your daughter alive like I promised.
They will be suspicious if they can't contact me.
The Elder and the key members of that organization will be gone soon.
It won't be long soon.
You can leave now and wait.
Stop!
The customer's phone is turned off...
You still can't get in touch with Chief Moon?
His phone is turned off.
Put down...
the gun.
Don't tell me...
are you X?
It was not in my plans for you to be here, Chief Moon.
- This is unfortunate. - Answer me!
Are you really...
the person behind Chief Jang Tae Joon?
Are you that X?
I can tell you one thing.
Everything I'm doing, not one thing...
has been done for my own personal profit.
Is that...
a good enough excuse for all the many crimes that you've committed?
You know about the Elder too.
Evil does bad things.
Those wrongs leave behind pain.
Due to the existence of the Elder...
do you know how many people have suffered and for how long?
And how many more must suffer for how much longer?
You need to think about that.
Even if you're right...
good intentions don't mean that your methods are right.
I don't want to discuss that with you.
In order to get rid of trash, someone needs to get their hands dirty.
I am...
prepared to get my hands dirty.
Are you certain that they are evil and you are good?
No.
I'm not certain that I'm good, but...
I am certain that they are evil.
Yoo Shi Joon.
For the crimes of conspiracy to commit murder and attempted murder...
I am arresting you.
Chief Moon.
Chief, of all the adults I've met...
I've respected you the most.
Oh no!
- What is it? - What?
It's nothing.
I'm sorry.
Do you...
know?
Do you know how I got here?
Footsteps...
It was Footsteps...
Footsteps... knows your identity.
I had no choice.
Chief!
Chief, Chief!
They found Sun Young.
Young lady, are you okay?
Sun Young!
Thankfully, she's not hurt, but she doesn't remember anything.
I don't think she'll be helpful to us.
Detective Kang.
What do we do now?
I don't really know.
I just don't see what's next.
Wow, you're too honest.
I feel so weak hearing you say that.
So, I'll head into the office.
I'll trace Chief Moon's movements and gather evidence.
Lieutenant Oh.
Are you okay?
No.
But, Shi Hyun is acting like that.
At the very least, I should focus.
Shi Hyun seems very traumatized.
This time, she may not get over it.
How are things at the crime scene?
They are doing their best, but they haven't found any leads.
It's just something we found out recently.
Chief Moon had a confidential informant.
Perhaps, that person might know something.
- An informant? - Yes.
I don't know the person's name, just a nickname.
What did Chief Moon call him again?
Ah, I think he called him Footsteps.
The truth is, Footsteps is...
someone who must walk forever chasing after someone he can never catch.
I am talking about myself.
I've never told anyone about this.
- Footsteps? - Yes.
Have you heard that before?
No, I don't know anything about it.
You should ask Sergeant Yoo about it.
All right.

[Sketch]
I took a look at Prosecutor Yoo's personnel record.
Do you know about the Seosu building fire?
About 1,000 people died.
These were the only survivors.
The connection between Jang Tae Joon and Yoo Shin Joon is that building fire.
Will you gamble with your life on the line?
I think this is Kim Do Jin's hideout.
We need your ability to see the future now more than anything.
Did you see anything in your vision?
Chief Jang, I need to tell you something.
I'm sorry.
